About this place
Hwasun St. Benedict Retreat House is a Catholic retreat and prayer facility at 1385 Hakpo-ro, Chunyang-myeon, Hwasun County, within the Archdiocese of Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea lists it separately as a retreat and prayer house and identifies the Benedictines as the religious community responsible for it.
The Hwasun Monastery of Waegwan Abbey is registered as a separate religious community at the same address. The retreat house is therefore not a territorial parish church, but a facility connected with Benedictine religious life and intended for silence, prayer, and retreat.
Its defining identity is that of a retreat space spiritually linked with the Benedictine community in Hwasun while remaining functionally distinct from the monastery itself.
