Kh.Battulga, the newly-elected President of Mongolia has said that he intends  to live in the ‘Winter Palace’ in central Ulaanbaatar. Also known as the Marshal’s Residence, the impressive building is located in the heart of the capital between Peace Avenue and Seoul Street (next to the 1^st School and the Russian Embassy).  Kh.Battulga’s decision marks a departure from his predecessors, who lived at the President’s Residence at the Ikh Tenger Complex located to the south of the city.   

The two storey-building of the ‘Winter Palace’ was built in 1947 as the  residence of Marshal Kh. Choibalsan. The Marshal Residence has two luxury rooms and five other rooms as well as 52-80 person capacity banqueting hall.
