Pabongkha Labrang was the former Lhasa residence of the abbot of Pabongkha monastery. The Lhasa Atlas mentions that it was built in 1954 although it may have been built in the early 20th century. It is a three-story stone building in Lhasa's Kirey neighborhood and after 1959 it was converted into public housing. The Tibet Heritage Fund noted that the building contained excellent details such as ornate carvings and paintings.
