Clock Tower
andropov Avenue, 39 building 5, Moscow.
Description:
The clock tower is located at the front gate of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve. The clock mechanism of the tower is considered the oldest surviving mechanism in Russia.
The architectural ensemble, consisting of a front gate and a small stone clock tower, was built in the seventeenth century under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich.
On the third tier of the old tower there is a clock mechanism. It was specially brought here from the Sukharev Tower, which was decided to demolish in connection with the reconstruction of the Garden Ring.
For a long time, the clock on the tower did not work and was only recently reconstructed and restarted.
Now every day, starting from 9 am, over the park-reserve Kolomenskoye spreads not only the bell chime, but also the musical work “Orle Russian”.
