The St. Paul's Cathedral (Korean: 답동 주교좌 성당) or simply Cathedral of Incheon, is the name given to a religious building belonging to the Catholic Church and is located in the city of Incheon, the third largest in South Korea.
Father Eugene Cost of the Paris Foreign Missions Society, designed the cathedral of Dapdong Incheon. The church was completed six years ahead of Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul, with a mixture of styles including Gothic architecture.
