The village of Kolomenskoye was located on the road from Moscow to Kolomna. The first written mention of the village of Kolomenskoye dates back to 1336. For many years, Kolomenskoye was the patrimony of the Moscow grand princes, and one of the residences of the Russian tsars was located here. After the Russian capital was moved to St. Petersburg, Kolomenskoye became less visited by members of the royal family. The Kolomenskoye Museum was founded in 1923. Kolomenskoye is now part of the city of Moscow. The Kolomenskoye Park and Museum is part of the Moscow State United Artistic, Historical, Architectural, and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve.
