The Busan Cathedral of the Anglican Church is a Romanesque-style brick building originally built in 1924 to have a single-naved rectangular basilica. In 1964, the building was renovated to have a double-naved interior, which has been maintained till now. The building has been widely praised for the beauty of the eaves of its bell tower, stone ornamentation around the upper part of the truss and arched altar, and spire of the bell tower and stone ribs supporting the apse of the altar, which are rarely found in Korea.
