Danzandarjaa Monastery

Located on the banks of the Delgermörön River, Danzandarjaa Monastery features traditional Mongolian and Tibetan architectural elements across its religious complex.

The original monastery, established between 1809 and 1811, housed 2000 monks until its destruction in 1937 during the Stalinist religious purges in Mongolia.

The monastery maintains a collection of thangka paintings, traditional Tibetan artworks on fabric that depict religious figures and Buddhist teachings.

The current monastery, rebuilt in 1990, accommodates 40 monks and welcomes visitors interested in learning about Tibetan Buddhist practices in Mongolia.

Dorjjavyn Luvsansharav, who studied at the original monastery from 1910 to 1921, later became involved in the political movement that led to its destruction.
