[2025 Anseong-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Mirinae Catholic Holy Ground (Updated Jul)

The pure Korean name Mirinae, meaning Milky Way Mirinae Shrine, a Catholic historic site, is quiet and beautiful, so it was pretty to take a quick look around even if you are not a Catholic. For us who like to find pretty cathedrals all over the country and take pictures, It was also great to leave a certification shot saying I forgive you. Since it is a religious facility, I hope you stay quietly for a short time🙏 - - 📍Anseong Mirinae Shrine 🧭420 Mirinae Shrine, Yangseong-myeon, Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do ⏰️Daily 9:00-17:00 #AnseongTravel

Mirinae Holy Site in Anseong Nestled deep within the tranquil mountains of Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, the Mirinae Holy Site is more than just a religious sanctuary. It is a place where the history of persecution and martyrdom in Korean Catholicism lives on. True to its name, which means 'a path of faith sparkling like the Milky Way,' walking along the serene forest trails clears the mind and brings a sense of calm. The site harmoniously combines features such as the Grotto of the Virgin Mary, a church, and pilgrimage paths, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll. The vintage brick structure of Mirinae Church, in particular, blends beautifully with the natural surroundings, creating a mystical atmosphere. Even non-believers can find themselves moved by the site’s tranquil ambiance. It’s a perfect destination for quiet reflection or a brief escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I like to travel around Gyeonggi-do. I recently visited Anseong and I'm going to introduce it! The first is Mirinae Seongji. Actually, I went there because the fall foliage was pretty, but...it got so cold that they all fell! But the walking path is well-maintained and it's quiet, so you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere. You can go inside the cathedral, so I think even non-Catholics can visit! And I went to a place called Anseong Ssambap near Mirinae Seongji, where they serve unlimited bibimbap and you can keep adding ssam! The side dishes are neat and delicious, so I recommend it if you're looking for a good restaurant when you go to Anseong. And when I went there, there was a flea market at a vintage shop called Yunpound, so I looked around and bought a pretty candle! Even if it's not a flea market, Yunpound sells used clothes and accessories, so it's fun to look around. Of course, I couldn't not go to a cafe. I went to Focus Design Archive, which is not far from Yunpound and has a good view of Chilgok Reservoir. As you can see from the name, it's a place where you can see not only cafes but also living-related products! There are a lot of places that display props like this these days and turn them into cafes. There are so many kinds of Basque Cheesecake here, but I really recommend the Chocolate Basque Cheesecake. It's so delicious! @lulu__mignon @ishalo_you #trip.comgayodaejeon #wintertravel
