Sükhbaatar's Mausoleum

[1] The building was erected after Choibalsan's death during the socialist era, and removed in 2005 to make place for a structure dedicated to Genghis Khan.

On May 9, 1952, a resolution of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party was issued, according to which the sketch of a new mausoleum of Choibalsan and Sükhbaatar by architect B. Chimed was approved.

Specialists from the USSR were invited to build the mausoleum, and marble was brought from the valley of the Orkhon River in the city of Kharkhorin.
