The church building complex was built between 1904 and 1908 by more than 300 skilled craftsmen led by Ombo, a well-known architect of the Great Circle, for the religious work of the State Choijin Luvsankhaidav.

According to the decision of the National Assembly of the People’s Republic of China on November 13, 1941, the Choijin Lama Mosque was placed under the first degree of protection, and then from 1942, it was made a religious museum that can be shown to major domestic and foreign guests with a special permit.
