The amber room

view map

The amber room is probably the most famous room in Catherine Palace, and it was used as a study. King Frederick William of Prussia gave Peter the Great the original inlaid amber panels after Peter admired them in a room in Frederick's palace. The 5m jigsaw-looking panels were constructed of over 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber.
