The ruin of the monastery is located in Sergelen Soum in Tuv
province and 8 km in the north of Zuunmod town. The construction of the
monastery began in 1733 in the foot of Bogd Khan Mountain. In the end of
the 18th century, it extended a main temple. In the 20th century,
there were around 500 monks. The monastery which has its own rich history was
destroyed in 1937 during the socialist era. During that time, there were
approximately 21 temples. In 1998, the building and ruins were taken under
state protection. Today “Lavrin” temple which was restored after 1998 is used as a natural museum and there is a huge pot made in 1726 for 1000
people.
