Green Palace

The Green Palace (ᠨᠣᠭᠣᠭᠠᠨ ᠣᠷᠳᠣᠨ Nogoon Ordon) is the imperial winter residence of the Bogd Khan, ruler of Mongolia, located in Khan Uul, Ulaanbaatar. It was also called the "Green Temple of the River" due its location.

Inside the complex is the Bogd Khan Palace Museum, housed in the Winter Palace building. Alongside being the oldest museum, it is also considered as one with the biggest collection in Mongolia. The palace is the only one left from originally four residences of the Bogd Khan.
