Gamgok Cathedral was founded in 1896 by Father Camillus Bouillon, who came to Korea from France directly after gaining his priesthood. The church was dedicated to the Virgin Mary due to the priest's prayers to the Blessed Mother to provide the land for the church.

The church has a long history spanning over 100 years. It was reportedly used as a shelter for local citizens from North Korean soldiers returning north during the end of the Korean War. The current structure was built in 1930, designed after the Myeong-dong Cathedral in Seoul. Also on the church grounds is Maegoe Museum, originally the house of Father Bouillon, which is now converted into a museum showing the history of this small, yet important Cathedral.

Gancheonseom Island, located within the Namhangang River, is famous for its beautiful nature, featuring blooming magnolias in spring and golden ginkgo tree foliage in fall. While not originally an island, the land here was often separated due to flooding during the rainy season in the past. To manage this, a channel was dug where flooding often happened. The island centers on a large grassy field, with various natural walking trails around this, as well as the Yeoju Healing Center. The field is a popular picnic spot for locals, although cooking and camping are prohibited.
