[1][2][3] The town of Mörön grew around the monastic complex, founded in 1809–11 on the banks of the Delgermörön river.

At its height in the early 20th century the monastery was home to 2000 monks.

In the late 1930s Luvsansharav directed a brutal persecution of the Buddhist Church in Mongolia that resulted in the closure and destruction of over 700 monasteries, including Mörön Monastery, destroyed in 1937.

After the 1990 Democratic Revolution in Mongolia the monastery was rebuilt on the western edge of the town and reopened in June 1990.
