 Mongolia has suffered serious purges during the cultural revolution and the ensuing Soviet/Communist domminance over Mongolia, what was once a country incredibly rich in terms of religion, artifacts, traditions and education had been systematically destroyed, monks were executed and all religious practices banned. Gamden Monastery and Chojen Lama Museum were left unharmed by the purges and they are slowly regaining their importance. Ganden Monsatery has become one of the main religious sites in Mongolia. The government has so far shown little inclination in saving the few remaining structures but slowly foreign restauration projects and good will from the local populations is pushing for the restauration of what can be saved. This also goes hand in hand with a new-found religious fervour from the population towards all things Buddhist, to highlight this, His Holyness the Dalai Lama visited Mongolia in the summer of 2006 to an enormous turnout. The list of Monasteries in this section is not exhaustive, many are missing and many of the ones on the list are in exceedingly poor condition. The main monasteries can be clicked through to a further information page whcih also contains some pictures where available. This list was compiled from a foreign group based in Mongolia who have made it their mission to chart and find all the remaining monasteries in Mongolia and make the world at large aware of the need of restauration to them. If you have visited one of those monasteries, have taken pictures, have stories please email them to us so that we may post them on this website.
