Exactly 29 years ago today, the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia District was organized. Now the location for Mongolia’s first house of the Lord has been announced.
The Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be a single-story structure of approximately 18,850 square feet.
It will be built on almost 11 acres at Naadamchid Road, Khan Uul, 8 Khoroo, in Mongolia’s capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Also constructed on the site will be a patron housing facility and meetinghouse.
This announcement comes from the First Presidency of the Church, published in a Sept. 15 news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. A site map and exterior rendering were also released.
Ulaanbaatar currently resides in the district of the Hong Kong Temple, a distance of approximately 1,800 miles south.
