«Palace of the Tsar Alexey Mikhaylovich»

The Palace of the Tsar Alexey Mikhaylovich in Kolomenskoye is a Russian wooden architecture monument dating back to the second half of the 17th century. The Tsar’s contemporaries called this summer country residence of the Tsar “the eighth miracle of the world”. The palace represented an intricate combination of chambers and porches decorated with carving and various elements like hipped roofs and other roofs unusual in form, weathercocks, and gilded figures of double-headed eagles. The original palace survived for 100 years.

Nowadays, the palace is being restored on the ancient land of Kolomenskoye by Decree of the Moscow government. On the ground (main) floor, the historic interiors of the audience chambers, inner chambers (that of the Tsar, the Tsarina, i. e. the tsar’s wife, and the Tsarevitch, the Tsar’s son), as well as the Tsar’s mylnya (bath) will be recreated, and museum expositions will be arranged. The basement that historically used to serve as administrative premises will be modernized to house the museum infrastructure.
