One of the most impressive parts of the Kremlin Wall is the Trinity Tower ( Troitskaya Tower ) which is one of two entrances into the Kremlin. After crossing the red brick bridge over Alexander Garden, you enter through this 76 metre two tower built between 1495-97 by Italian architect Aloisio da Milano. The Trinity Tower is the largest along the Wall. It is made of the same red brick, features a clock tower, medieval appearance and tall bronze spire. It is very attractive and provides for a nice grand entrance into the Kremlin. It is the tower we most remember of our recent visit to Moscow.

The Troitskaya Tower (Троицкая Башня), also known as the Trinity Tower, is a magnificent entrance to the Moscow Kremlin. Dating back to the 15th century, its imposing structure and distinctive tented roof make it a focal point of the Kremlin complex. Visiting this historic tower offers a glimpse into Russia's rich history and architectural splendor.

The Trinity (Troitskaya) Tower (former the Epiphany, of the Deposition of Our Lady's Robe, Holy Sign, Carriage) pass-tower with a side-strelnitsa is the main tower at the west side of the Kremlin. It was built in 1495-1499 by Aleviz Fryazin. The erection of fortifications at the Neglinnaya River, later — the Alexander Garden, was finished after its construction.

In 1516, a stone bridge was built over the Neglinnaya River, connected with a new watchtower — the Kutafiya Tower. In the XVIth to XVIIth centuries, the Troitskiye (Trinity) Gate was thought to be the Gate of second importance after the Spasskiye (Saviour) Gate. The Troitskiye Gate was used for passage to the Patriarch's estate and the Tsarinas' place in the Kremlin.

The tower was given its present-day name after the Kremlin's Troitskiy hostelry in 1658. Earlier, it had been called the Bogoyavlenskaya (Epiphany), Rizpolozhenskaya (Deposition of Our Lady's Robe), Znamenskaya (Holy Sign), Kuretnaya (Carriage) after the Kremlin's Churches and the Kuretniy (Carriage) Court.

It was topped with a marquee in the end of the XVIIth century. Its decoration was similar to the Spasskaya (Saviour) Tower. A clock and chimes was also installed on the tower's top. It has never been restored after the fire of 1812.

On the Kremlin's side the tower's height without the star is 65,65 m and with the...

Der Dreifaltigkeitsturm (Троицкая башня) gehört zu den bekanntesten Kreml-Türmen, nicht zuletzt weil durch dessen Tor die meisten Touristen heute den Kreml betreten. Bis unter den Sowjetstern an seiner Spitze beträgt die Höhe des Dreifaltigkeitsturms 76,4 Meter und einschließlich des Sterns 80 Meter, womit er der höchste Kremlturm ist. Anzumerken ist jedoch, dass seine Höhe bei Betrachtung von der Kremlseite her etwas geringer ausfällt, da der Turm direkt am Hang des Kremlhügels steht. Der Turm besteht aus dem sechsstöckigen Basisteil und dem aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammenden Anbau mit dekorativen Türmchen und kielbogenförmigen Ornamenten aus weißem Kalkstein sowie einem schlanken Glockenturm mit Zeltdachabschluss.

Hinsichtlich der genauen Bauzeit des Turms wurden keine Angaben überliefert, jedoch muss er spätestens mit Vollendung des Westabschnitts der Mauer im Jahre 1499 fertiggestellt worden sein. Auch den Dreifaltigkeitsturm erbaute Aloisio da Milano, womit der Turm zu den wichtigsten Werken dieses ansonsten wenig bekannten Baumeisters zählt. Der Name Dreifaltigkeitsturm wurde dem Bauwerk 1658 gegeben, da sich in seiner Nähe damals ein dem Dreifaltigkeitskloster von Sergijew Possad gehörendes Anwesen befand. Zuvor waren für den Turm mehrere verschiedene, inoffiziell verwendete Namen geläufig.

Bekannt ist, dass an der Westfassade des Turms bis zur Aufstockung im 17. Jahrhundert eine größere Uhr mit Glockenspiel angebracht war, ähnlich der bis heute bestehenden Uhr des Erlöserturms. Um 1683 wurde die Originaluhr abmontiert und gleichzeitig erhielt der Turm, wie auch die anderen Kremltürme, seinen Zeltdachanbau. Später wurde am Turm eine neue Uhr aus den Niederlanden installiert, die jedoch während der Kämpfe im Jahr 1812 bei einem Brand zerstört und später nicht mehr ersetzt wurde. Das Durchgangstor im Basisteil des Turms diente noch im 17. Jahrhundert als einer der Paradeeingänge zum Kreml, unter anderem weil sich in der Nähe des Turms Gemächer des Zaren (Terem-Palast) und des Patriarchen (Patriarchenpalast) befanden. Im Krieg von 1812 war es ebenfalls der Dreifaltigkeitsturm, durch den aus westlicher Richtung vorrückende Truppen Napoléons den Kreml betraten und einige Wochen später bei ihrem Rückzug wieder heraustraten. Heute kann das Dreifaltigkeitstor nur zu Fuß passiert werden. Die großzügigen Innenräumlichkeiten des Basisteils beherbergten im 19. Jahrhundert das Archiv des Zarenhofs, heute werden sie von der Blaskapelle der Kremlgarnison als Proberaum genutzt. 1937 erhielt die Turmspitze ihren roten Sowjetstern an Stelle des Doppeladlers aus den...
