The Yesaul Station Church, founded in 1890 and reconstructed in 1958, is a brick masonry building with a gable roof, currently inactive.
Located in Yesan, the church sits on a long rectangular plot aligned east–west. Its interior features a mixed wooden mezzanine above the
first bay, a simple wooden altar stand, and a meeting room with kitchen facilities.
The area has deep historical significance as the birthplace of Yi Jon-chang, a key figure in early Korean Catholicism. Community worship activities are believed to have begun around the 1790s.
Earlier structures included a 10-bay station church built in 1944. The current building was dedicated in 1959 and the site was designated a Chungcheongnam-do Monument in 2008. A statue of the Virgin Mary stands in front, and the church remains an important heritage site despite non-use.
