Robert J. Koehler over at The Marmot’s Hole has a really amazing 3-day series of photos and history in a series he’s called ‘Buildings Built by Dead White Guys,’ or more simply, ‘The Coming of the West.’
Today’s photos of Yakhyeon Catholic Church are especially astounding and serene, but make sure to check out all three entries (I, II, III).


Glad you like ‘em.
And I guess to be more precise, I should say “Buildings Designed by Dead White Guys.” Most of the actual building was left to imported Chinese labor, especially in the case of the Catholic churches.
