The Gunsan Customs House, built in 1908, is an iconic historical building that symbolizes the city’s colonial past. Located near the harbor, the red-brick structure features a distinct Western architectural style with arched windows, a pitched roof, and a symmetrical façade.

Dongguksa Temple, located in Gunsan, South Korea, is a unique cultural and historical landmark. Established in 1913 during the Japanese colonial period, it is the only remaining Japanese-style Buddhist temple in Korea.
