Ganghwa Anglican Church
Despite the island's history of invasions, not all of Ganghwa's interactions with foreigners have been violent. The sublime Ganghwa Anglican Church was built in a beautifully harmonized Western-Korean style (displaying both a hanok exterior and Western basilica interior) at the turn of the 20th century by British missionaries and a Korean architect who helped rebuild Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace in the late 19th century.
