The Park of Europe is located right in the middle of a forest, and the origins of its appearance go back to the early 1990s.

The sculpture park began its existence with the installation of a stone pyramid, on which a sign indicating the distances to all the capitals of Europe is installed.

Today, the world-famous Amber Museum operates in the halls of the palace.
