Kolomenskoye is one of the most ancient places of human habitation within modern Moscow. Archaeological items discovered in its vicinity witness Stone Age settlements once existing here. In old times the village of Kolomenskoye near Moscow came to be directly involved into the historical events known as the Time of Troubles. In1923, a small museum was founded at the historically shaped ensemble of Russian Grand Princes and Tsars’ country estate; this museum was to grow up over time into a complex Kolomenskoye art and architectural museum-reserve with a total area of 254.6 hectares. The unique landscape of Kolomenskoye bears traces of many generations’ life and activities.
On the high bank of Moskva River one can see the Church of the Ascension built in 1532. It is one of the first tent-roof stone churches in Old Russia. In the XVI and XVII centuries, this church, small in interior dimensions, served as a summer family chapel of the Russian Tsars. In 1994, the church was included into the UNESCO World Heritage List altogether with Moscow Kremlin and theRed Square.
Another three architectural landmarks are situated in the immediate vicinity of the Church of the Ascension. These are St. George the Victorious Bell Tower (XVI c.), Water Tower (XVII c.) and a “Hunting Pavillion” (built in 1825 by architect Eugraph Tyurin).
The territory of the Museum-reserve is open: from 7.00 to 24.00 from may 1 to September 30, from 8.00 to 21.00 from October 1 to April 30
