🖼 Falcon Yard in Kolomenskoye

музей-заповедник «Коломенское», вход со стороны Царской набережной

The yard of the tsar's falconers, renewed in 2026: an exhibition on falconry, birds of prey and flight shows.

Falconry was Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich's favourite pastime: under him, more than three thousand hunting birds were kept at the royal hunting yards.
The present yard was recreated in 2007 as a reminder of the krechatnya, where hunting birds were kept in the old days.
In 2026 the complex was modernised: conditions for the birds were improved, the falconer's house was restored and the exhibition was made interactive.
A snow-white canopy and a visitor centre with a facade of decorative panels were added to the yard.
Visitors are told about the traditions of the "red hunt" and shown flights of birds of prey.
