About this place
옥터 is a church-historical site registered by the Diocese of Wonju in the Catholic Church directory in Korea under the category of shrines and historic sites. It is not an ordinary parish or mission station but a place classified for the remembrance of Catholic history, and the official directory links its contact and administration with Won-dong Cathedral. It also appears as a separate entry in the Diocese of Wonju's list of shrines and historic sites, so its present identity is closer to a place of historical memory than to a parish church used as the regular center of parish liturgy.
The name 옥터 literally points to the site of a former prison, but the publicly available official directory does not provide enough detail to establish the exact imprisonment events or the full range of martyrs and other Catholics associated with the place. Visitors should therefore understand it primarily as a Catholic historic site related to an old prison site that the Diocese of Wonju preserves and remembers, without adding unverified names or episodes.
