Enjoy the images of blooming gardens at one of Moscow’s most picturesque parks, Kolomenskoye Historical and Architectural Museum and Reserve.
Kolomenskoye Historical and Architectural Museum and Reserve is one of the most beautiful places in Moscow. It is a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna. Every May its gardens full of fruit trees blooms, filling the air with pleasant sweet scents.
During the days when the trees bloom, the park’s administration holds a spring festival, "White Night in Kolomenskoye," where people can enjoy classical music concerts, open-air expositions and theater performances.
Fruit-bearing trees around the former royal estate appeared in Kolomenskoye back in the 17th century. Besides different types of apple trees, there were cherries, pears, plums – about 6,000 trees in total. There were also various berry bushes and vegetables growing in the gardens.
Even after the royal family moved to the then-new capital in St. Petersburg, the gardens of Kolomenskoye continued to supply fruit crops to the imperial household.
Kolomenskoye Historical and Architectural Museum and Reserve is also known for its remarkable oak-tree grove. The trees there are the oldest oaks in Moscow – they are 600-700 years old.
