So the Amber Room became part of the Czars winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long,the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. Later,Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers.She told her artists to add more details to it.In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.Almost six hundred candles lit the room,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.Sadly,although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world,it is now missing. In September 1941,the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.This was a time when the two countries were at war.Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace,the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room.However,some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself.In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes.There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg,which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.After that,what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery. Recently,the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace.By studying old photos of the former Amber Room,they have made the new one look like the old one.In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.
