The Log cottage of Peter the Great
The cottage was built in 1702 in the St. Mark Island in the mouth of the northern Dvina River near Archangelsk. Peter the Great lived there for 2.5 month while supervising the construction of the Novodvinsk fortress located on the riverbank opposite the island. The cottage was delivered to Kolomenskoye in 1934.
