History
The old city of Ikh Khüree, once it was set up as a permanent capital, had a number of palaces and noble residences in an area called ''Öndgiin sürgiin nutag''. The Bogd Khan had four main imperial residences, which were located between the Middle (''Dund gol'') and Tuul rivers. The main residence was the Yellow Palace (ᠰᠢᠷᠠ ᠣᠷᠳᠣᠨ ''Shar ordon'') in the centre. The summer palace was called ''Erdmiin dalai buyan chuulgan süm'' or ''Bogd khaanii serüün ord''. Other palaces were the White Palace (''Tsagaan süm'', or ''Gьngaa dejidlin''), and the Pandelin Palace (also called '' Naro Kha Chod süm''), which was situated on the left bank of the Tuul River. Some of the palaces were also used for religious purposes.
Built between 1893 and 1903, the complex consisted of the main gate to the south and a fenced courtyard, a central court with the main audience hall and temple, and two side courts on either east and west. Across the street to the north lay another complex. The last structure added was the Winter Palace in the eastern court, a two-storey white building as the modern residence for the Bogd Khan. It was constructed in 1905 and now houses the museum with items relating to the imperial Mongol court.
