According to legend, the village of Kolomenskoye was founded

by residents of the city of Kolomna, who fled from Baty, who
burned down their city in 1237. In 1339, the great tsar Ivan
Kalita mentioned the village in his will as his property. Today it
is a museum-reserve that organizes wonderful excursions.

At the beginning of the tour On Lip Alley you will approach a

picturesque four-tiered structure with a stone tent. These are
the Front, or Palace Gate, which served as the entrance of the
royal family and the tall sits to the Sovereign's yard. The front
gate was built opposite the Church of the Ascension in 1672-
1673. The next important building is the Summer ceremonial
residence of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Unfortunately, to this day
the grandiose monument, an outstanding work of Russian
wooden architecture of the 17th century, has not survived. It
lasted about 100 years and was recreated two centuries later,
in 2010. This complex of buildings really looks great. And the
fact that the estate is wooden, I think it is most associated with
Russian culture and architecture. I also think it is necessary to
tell about the church of Our Lady of Kazan built in 1651 –
1671. The temple is located in a picturesque place among apple
orchards and flowers. Its snow-white appearance with bright
blue as the sky, domes with stars mesmerizing.

These are just some of the buildings you can see if you visit a
tour of Kolomenskoye. I think everyone should do it. Because
it's not just beautiful buildings, it's our story.
