History

It was constructed at the Tuul River at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The palace was transferred in 1924 to the communist Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party Academy and most structures were subsequently lost.[3][4][5] The complex consisted of a main court within a wider fenced enclosure. Along with the main hall and residential yurts, it had a landmark clock tower.

A large monumental painting of it was done by Marzan Sharav and housed in the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts.
