Tsugolskij Datsan, Buddhist monastery in Tsugol village, Russia

The Tsugolskij Datsan features a three-story temple complex with traditional Tibetan and Mongolian architectural elements in the Zabaykalsky Region of Russia.

Founded in 1801 by three Buryat clans, the monastery received permission to construct its stone main temple building in 1864, completing it by 1869.

The monastery established the first Buryat school of classical Buddhist philosophy in 1845, becoming a central institution for Buddhist education in Siberia.

The monastery complex includes multiple prayer halls, meditation spaces, and ceremonial buildings that remain active for religious services and educational purposes.

The datsan houses an eight-meter statue of Buddha Maitreya and maintains a collection of religious texts translated from Tibetan, Mongolian, and Chinese languages.
