Anak is a county in South Hwanghae province, North
Korea.
Geography
Anak is bordered to the east by Chaeryŏng, to the south
by Sinch’ŏn, to the west by Samch’ŏn and Ŭnryul and
to the north by Ŭnch’ŏn. Anak is generally flat, though
it becomes more mountainous to the west. The highest
point is Mt. Kuwŏl, at 954 meters.[1]
Anak is very famous for its Koguryo-era tombs, the
most famous of which is Anak Tomb No. 3. All of them
are registered as part of the Complex of Koguryo Tombs
UNESCO World Heritage Site. The county is also home to
the famous Wŏljŏngsa Buddhist temple, founded in 846.
History
Anak County was first conquered by the kingdom of
Koguryo in 757. Koryo dynasty named the area occupied
by Sinch’ŏn as Sinju. Chaeryŏng was briefly merged into
the newly-formed Hwanghae District in 1895 during an
experimental redistricting, but was restored to its previ-
ous form in 1896. The county’s current form was settled
in the 1952 redistricting changes, in which its northern
part was split to form Ŭnch’ŏn county.
