The Amber Room: A treasure from the ‘gold’ of the Baltic Sea
The world-famous Amber Room was a gift to Peter the Great from Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I.
It arrived in St. Petersburg in 18 boxes, with detailed instructions on how to unpack the priceless amber panels. Governor-General Prince Alexander Menshikov reported to the emperor: “Some small pieces have fallen out, but they can be glued back together and even if there were no others, they can still be put back on. It is true to say that this is the most amazing thing the world has ever seen.”
The amazingly beautiful Amber Room was originally installed in the Winter Palace. But, after a few years, Empress Elizabeth Petrovna ordered it to be moved to her new country residence, Tsarskoye Selo. Architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli added gilded wood carvings, mosaic panels made of agate and jasper and mirror pilasters.
During the Great Patriotic War, the Amber Room was stolen by German troops. They displayed their trophy in the Königsberg Castle. But, during the retreat, it was taken away and the treasure disappeared without a trace.
In 1983, a copy of the Amber Room began to be built. Six tons of Kaliningrad amber were used to recreate it. Twenty-four years later, the public finally got to see it again.
