Bereeven monastery

#monastery

The remains of the Bereeven Monastery are located in the depression of the Bereeven Mountains. The monastery was made of granite stone in 1777. The God of "Manzushir" with 3 meters high and 2 meters wide was crafted on the steep and reddish, granite stone is to the southeast of the monastery.

The main worship hall was built in 1813. It had 32 columns and 3 stairs, which called "Utai Gumben" but it has broken beside the wall. Last a few years American builders rebuilt it.

The monastery at one time was home to 8,000 lamas. It was the religious center of the eastern Khalkh Mongols. The buildings were mainly constructed of stone and wood because of its location near the forests. No detailed studies on Bereeven Monastery exist.

Travel tip:

If you are visiting Bereeven monastery, consider combining it with a visit to "Khukh Lake" ( Blue Lake ), and "Deluun Boldog birthplace of Genghis Khan" at the same time.
