Built in November 1900, the Ganghwa Anglican church has maintained its authenticity. This church is the first church built in the traditional hanok style. While the interior mostly features western-style elements, the exterior looks like one of a royal palace building or even a Buddhist temple.

Additional points of interest in the Ganghwa Anglican church area include Goryeo palace site and Yongheunggung House. The site of the Goryeo palace was used as a refuge when Mongolia invaded during the Goryeo period. Yongheunggung House was the home of King Cheoljong (reigned 1849-1863) before he became king. The house was built in a similar design to Yeongyeongdang Hall and Nakseonjae hall, Changdeokgung palace.

Since the beginning of the 17th century, a movement that advocated Silhak, or learning about practical matters, gained considerable momentum among liberal-minded scholars as a tool for building a modern nation. They strongly advocate for improvements in agriculture and industry, in line with comprehensive reforms in terms of land distribution. However, the nobles of conservative governments were not ready to make such drastic changes. In the second half of the Joseon Dynasty, the administration of government and the upper classes was marked by factionalism or the formation of groups which appeared repeatedly.

King Jeongjo (1776-1800) succeeded in maintaining impartial politics and established a royal library to store royal documents and records. Ian also initiated othe
