The Amber Room


In 1942 Germans took The Amber Room from Tsarskoe Syolo and mounted it in the castle of Krolewiec (Koenigsberg). However, the danger of the British bombing in the summer of 1944 forced Germans to disassemble The Amber Room and to pack it in boxes; as late as in April 1945 it was still in the Koenigsberg castle. Despite extensive search no trace of the missing amber treasure has been found.
