In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave them to Peter the Great. And then , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter palace in St Petersburg. Late, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg when she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details in it. In 1770 the room was completed the way how she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and it’s mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sad, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missed.
