Moscow Print Yard, Historical printing complex in Tverskoy District, Russia
The Moscow Print Yard contains multiple buildings that showcase Russian pseudo-gothic, Baroque, and Russian Revival architectural elements across its stone structures.
Ivan IV Vasilyevich established this printing facility in 1553, marking the beginning of organized book production in Russia through the publication of religious texts.
The complex served as the primary center for Russian literature development, producing approximately 700 different books between 1564 and 1711, including the first Russian newspaper.
Located in central Moscow, the Print Yard offers guided tours where visitors can examine the historical printing equipment and learn about early Russian publishing methods.
The facility published its first dated book, titled Apostle, on March 1, 1564, through the work of printers Ivan Fyodorov and Pyotr Timofeyev.
