The Amber Room was looted from the Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg by the Nazis and disappeared forever in 1943.
The Amber Room was once the crowning jewel of the Romanovs' summer residence and was covered with amber, precious stones, and gold leaf from floor to ceiling. The room is estimated to be worth between $142 million and $500 million in today's dollars.
During World War II, the Amber Room disappeared after Nazi soldiers looted it. Since the room was originally built in Germany for the Prussian King Frederick I and was later given to Peter the Great of Russia, the Nazis claimed that it belonged to them. Since then, the room has been lost!
