The 16th century bell-tower of the Church of Saint George at Kolomenskoye Estate in Moscow, Russia

---

The Bell Tower was built in the 16th century and used to be a belfry for the Ascension Church. In the 17th century a wooden refectory was added to the main building, and thus a new Saint George church appeared, which was consecrated in 1678. In the 1840s architect Turin rebuilt the refectory in brick. In 2005–2006 it was restored and transformed into the Church of Saint George the Victorious.
