Amber Room, Baroque artistic chamber in Catherine Palace, Pushkin, Russia

The Amber Room features walls covered with amber panels, gold leaf decorations, and mirrors arranged in a sophisticated geometric pattern.

Created in 1701 by Andreas Schlüter, the room was gifted to Peter the Great in 1716 and later expanded in the Catherine Palace.

The room represents the peak of European amber craftsmanship, combining German design principles with Russian imperial grandeur.

Visitors can access the reconstructed Amber Room through guided tours of the Catherine Palace between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The original chamber vanished during World War II, leading to numerous theories about its location and spawning international search expeditions.
