Kolomenskoye is a historic estate and former royal residence located in Moscow, Russia. Situated along the scenic banks of the Moskva River, it dates back to at least the 14th century. The estate is renowned for its beautiful landscape, historic architecture, and cultural significance. Key features include the Church of the Ascension, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in 1532, which is one of the earliest examples of tent-roofed churches in Russia. The estate also boasts other notable buildings such as the wooden Palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, reconstructed to reflect its original 17th-century grandeur.
