Wooden palace of tsar Alexey, 17th century royal palace in Kolomenskoye, Russia.
The wooden palace features 26 separate towers connected into a complex building with individual roof designs and 270 chambers across multiple floors.
The original structure, built in 1667 under Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, represented Russian architecture before Peter the Great and remained until Catherine II ordered its dismantling.
The palace interior reveals the social structure of Russian nobility through separate quarters for men and women, following traditional patriarchal family arrangements.
Modern visitors can explore permanent exhibitions, art studios, a gift shop, and a café within the reconstructed palace in Kolomenskoye museum-reserve.
The reconstruction includes mechanical lions designed to guard the Tsar's throne, with six different roof shapes: tents, cubes, onions, helmets, barrels, and split barrels.
