• There were 60 temples and monasteries in Mörön at the end of the 19th century. Möröngiin Chüree Khiid Monastery in which about 2500 monks were living was the most important one. It was famous for its Tsam dances. In 1937, however, the monasteries and temples of Mörön were all destroyed by order of the then president Khorloogiin Choibalsan, like everywhere in Mongolia. Danzadardscha Khiid, a small new monastery, was built in a traditional style in the western part of Mörön in June 1990, and 40 monks are living there at present. Several stupas

• Further sights are to be found in the Central Square: The municipal theatre houses the Aimag Museum, founded in 1949, which shows about 4000 objects, e.g. are traditional clothes and other items of minorities living in Khövsgöl Aimag. The Post Office is in the southern part of the large Central Square. Opposite, the Town Hall which was built in a typical socialist style, is worth a look as well. In the middle of the square, a tall memorial was erected to honour Davaadorj, a soldier from Mörön who, together with the Soviets, fought against the Japanese in the east of Mongolia in 1939 in the battle of Khalkhyn Gol when he was just 13. He was awarded the title of a Hero of Mongolia by president Tsedenbal later, but he died as early as in 1948.
