Kolomenskoye is a former palace village and a residence of Grand Dukes. The building development of this territory began in the 14th century; it is deemed that the first building was the Church of the Ascension, consecrated in 1532.
In 1923, a mandate was issued in the name of architect and restorer Peter Baranovsky to supervise the monuments of the villages of Kolomenskoye and D’yakovo. From that moment, the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve history originated.
Presently, Kolomenskoye covers 250 hectares of parkland with 10 specially protected natural areas, 16 architectural monuments of federal significance, a monument that in 1994 entered into the UNESCO World Heritage List (the Church of the Ascension), and the only memorial museum in Moscow of the first Emperor - the House of Peter the Great (1702).
The margins of the postal block feature a map of the museum-reserve, the Church of St. George the Victorious with a bell tower and a refectory, and the Front Gate; the postage stamp provides an image of the Church of the Ascension.
The composition of the souvenir pack in cover “100th Anniversary of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve (2nd form of issue)” is included postal block №3045-I “100th Anniversary of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve” with screen varnish and numbering.
