Tokwon Abbey was a Benedictine monastery of the Congregation of Missionary Benedictines of Saint Ottilien located near the town of Wonsan in what is now North Korea. Originally founded as a monastic mission in Seoul the community transferred to Tokwon in the 1920s to take charge of the newly created Apostolic Vicariate of Wonsan. The persecution of Christians in North Korea since 1949 made any church activity in the abbacy impossible.
