The restoration of the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye has been completed. The work took two and a half years—specialists cleaned and reinforced the brickwork and restored the white stone details and decorative elements. Special attention was paid to the tent—the masonry was cleaned of old plaster, treated with biocides, primed, and given a new coating and paint job.
In 1994, the church was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, along with the Kremlin, Red Square, and Novodevichy Convent.
The church is scheduled to reopen on the feast day of the Ascension of the Lord in May 2026. Until then, the wooden iconostasis will be returned to the upper chapel, and an exhibition on the history of the church will be prepared in the basement.
