Description:
The Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Kolomenskoye is a real reminder of the history of Russia. Information about the village of Kolomenskoye dates back to 1339. Mention of the village appears in the will of Prince Ivan Kalita.
The church was located on the shore, because there was a healing spring nearby. However, during the construction of the temple was built on a high subclade.
