Erdenemandal Khiid
According to the monks, this monastery was originally built in 1830, about 20km from the present site. At the height of its splendour, there were seven temples and 1000 monks in residence, but the Stalinist purges of 1938 had the same result as elsewhere. The new monastery, surrounded by 108 distinctive stupas, is about 400m west of the square.

Museum
Baruun-Urt's surprisingly good Museum has a fine collection of costumes representing the three ethnic groups that inhabit the region: the majority Khalkh, Dariganga (30,000 live in the south of Sükhbaatar aimag) and Uzemchin (about 2000 live in Dornod aimag and Sükhbaatar aimag). Look out for the brass-studded Uzemchin wrestling jacket. From the square, walk 400m south and turn right. The museum is just past the theatre.
