14. A Great Gift
Although the Amber Room was supposed to be placed in Charlottenburg Palace, that’s not what ended up happening. It was instead gifted to Peter the Great, the Tsar of Russia and made its way to Berlin City Palace. He fell in love with the room when he saw it on a trip to the Prussian capital. Frederick William I, the son of King Frederick, gifted it to the Tsar in order to create an alliance between Russo-Prussian forces.
