The '''Catherine Palace''' is a palace in Tsarskoye Selo (now Pushkin), located 30 kilometres from St. Petersburg, Russia. It was the summer residence of the Russian tsars from its construction by Peter the Great until the Russian Revolution. During World War II, the invading Nazi soldiers looted the palace, dismantling the [[Amber Room]] within and shipping its contents off to Königsberg, [[Prussia]] after the siege of {{Wiki|Pushkin, Saint Petersburg|Pushkin}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Conspiracies – Volume 2: Project Rainbow]]''</ref>

The '''Amber Room''', also referred to as the ''Amber Chamber''' and by the moniker of ''the Eighth Wonder of the World''', was a chamber decorated in [[amber]] panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors, located in the Tsars' summer residence of [[Catherine Palace]] near [[Saint Petersburg]], [[Russia]]. During World War II, the invading Nazi soldiers looted the palace, dismantling the entire room and shipping its contents off to Königsberg, [[Prussia]] following the siege of {{Wiki|Pushkin, Saint Petersburg|Pushkin}}. In 1943, the director of the {{Wiki|Königsberg City Museum|Königsberg Museum}} sent one of the amber panels to [[Templars|Templar]] [[Gero Kramer]] in [[Książ Castle]], occupied [[Poland]] as a favor. Kramer included the piece as one of the items to be auctioned off on 15 July of the same year, though interference by the Assassins led by Boris Pash left the item's fate unknown after the castle's destruction. The rest of the items fared the same way after the Allied bombing of Königsberg.
