Sangiin Kherem (Mongolian: Сангийн хэрэм) is the Mongolian name for the remains of the Manchu fort in the Northern part of Khovd city, Mongolia.

The fort was built in the 18th century, and later became the seat of the Manchu amban and his office. The fort has a quadratic layout, the walls are made of clay. There were gates at the east and west and watch towers at the four corners. The fort's walls were surrounded by water ditches, with wooden bridges to access the gates. The remaining walls are 3 metres high and 1.5 metres thick [1], oriented at the four corners of the earth, each side was 0.33 km. According to Russian geographer M. V. Pevtsov, who visited the city in 1878, the height of the walls back then was 4.5 metres[1]. The southern portion of the fort was occupied by the Manchu amban, treasury, offices, and military barracks. The eastern part was occupied by commercial firms, a Chinese Buddhist temple and a mosque. Since the year 1912 when city Khovd was liberated from the Manchu administration and the fort was taken by force, the citadel declined.]]>

There is a restaurant in the central "palace". The southern gate links to a riverside beach and an open sky stage for rock performances.

One of the attractions is the Silver Tree fountain inspired by the Silver Tree of the ancient city Karakorum. The central gatehouse displays an exhibition of the coins brought from all parts of the Mongol Empire. The complex is a venue of rock festivals, wedding celebrities and international conferences. It hosted the 10th Conference of Sakyadhita, the International Association of Buddhist Women, in July 2008.

Sükhbaatar Square and Mausoleum
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

From Wikipedia:

In Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar, on the northern side of Sühbaatar square stood Sühbaatar's Mausoleum. In 2005 the mausoleum was removed and relocated to a graveyard outside of the city, to make place for a center dedicated to Chinggis Khaan, that is currently under construction. Sühbaatar was a Mongolian war hero in the early 20th-century when Mongolia was fighting for its independence. The mausoleum was built in 1921, two years before Sühbaatar's death. The mausoleum resembled the shape of Lenin's Mausoleum but differs in color.

Horloogiyn Choybalsan, the ruler of Mongolia during the Communist era, was also buried in the same mausoleum. The corpses of both rulers were ritually burned in 2004, under supervision of the Buddhist clergy.
