House of Missionary Switze

선교사스윗즈주택 · Daegu · Palaces & heritage

The House of Missionary Switze served as home for a host of American missionaries. Built between 1906 and 1910, the home is a Western-style structure with two above-ground floors and one basement level. In 1981, the house was used as company housing for doctors at the nearby Dongsan Hospital, at which point changes were made to the interior and exterior of the house. It was later changed into a missionary museum, displaying items used by the missionaries who lived in.
