The South Koreans found a new use for electricity pylons: pictures of the most eye-catching churches I encountered on my road trips through South Korea.
This is not an in-depth discussion of church architecture in South Korea. I am not religious, nor do I have a sound knowledge of historical architecture. My high school (a long time ago!) focused on European architecture anyway; mainly Roman and Greek but also Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
What I want to share instead is my surprise and wonder at the intriguing buildings I saw on my round trips in South Korea. Sometimes this was because of the surroundings, but more often because of the electricity pylon-style of the crosses on top of the buildings.
Aren’t they simply amazing?
1) Interesting surroundings

Surrounded by tall and modern buildings
Next to the gas station
Looks huge compared to the tiny houses

By day
By night

4) I blend well enough, but you still notice me
5) Pretending to be a Korean temple
6) Did you notice that the peaks look like electricity pylons?
7) If not for the cross shape, this could have been on top of a motel
Did you see any interesting churches on your trip to South Korea?
