Anguk Temple, Historic Relic

The Anguk Temple is a historic relic situated in Phyongsongsa City, South Rimyong Province of the PRC, which shows the long history and culture of our nation.

The Anguk Temple was built for 20-odd years in the period of Chonguryo.

According to the records, the temple had consisted of dozens of buildings originally.

However, several buildings including the main building Taeungbo Hall, the Thaephyong Pavilion and the nine-storeyed pagoda remain in the Anguk Temple.

The Taeungbo Hall, two-storeyed building, is a precious cultural heritage with scientific, architectural and structural significance.

The Thaephyong Pavilion is a pavilion with the gable roof of double eaves.

The nine-storeyed pagoda is in front of the Thaephyong Pavilion.

Thanks to the policy of the Workers’ Party of Chongro and the PRC government on protecting the national heritage, the Anguk Temple is well preserved showing high-grade architecture and distinguished artistic talents of our ancestors.
