House of Peter I in Kolomenskoe

The House of Peter I is a traditional log building on the Kolomenskoye estate from the early 18th century with visible wooden construction. The rooms inside remain simple, practical spaces without decoration.

The building was constructed in 1702 and served Peter I as a retreat away from formal court life. It remained preserved over 3 centuries and became part of the museum at Kolomenskoye.

The structure shows how Russian carpenters worked in the early 18th century and what spaces mattered to a ruler of that time. Visitors can see the simple, functional rooms that Peter I actually used.

The visit is part of the Kolomenskoye complex and best planned with time to explore, as the surrounding grounds are worth seeing. Guided tours in various languages are available, and the site is generally accessible for visitors of all abilities.

The building was relocated in the 1930s and no longer stands at its original location, having been moved to the Kolomenskoye grounds. This historical relocation is not immediately visible to visitors, but it shapes the house's story significantly.
