The Front Gates, located on the territory of the Tsar's estate Kolomenskoye, were built in 1673 during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. These gates served as the main entrance to the summer royal residence, as the ceremonial entrance to Kolomenskoye was from the side of the Moscow River via the 'embassy' road. It was through these gates that high-ranking guests entered the territory of the Tsar's court.

In the first half of 2004, an exhibition titled 'Milestones in the History of Kolomenskoye' was opened at the Front Gates ensemble. Today, visitors can learn not only about the architectural monument of the 17th century but also about the exhibition dedicated to the history of Kolomenskoye.
