The Museum of the World Ocean is the first comprehensive museum in the territory of Russia in which expositions dedicated not only to marine flora and fauna, but also to navigation, as well as hydrology, are collected. The museum has an ecological station and a marine library. Together with the museum they make up a unique scientific and cultural center across the country. On the street "Bogdana Khmelnytsky" there is an impressive neo-Gothic building, whose high lancet tower is visible from afar. This is the Catholic church of the Holy Family. A beautiful Lutheran church is one of the most spectacular architectural landmarks of the city.
An immortal symbol of Kaliningrad and a landmark known far beyond the borders of the country is the Amber Museum. It is located in the central area of the city, on the shore of the upper lake. Previously, there was a tower of the Don, named after the distinguished general-field marshal who participated in the war against Napoleonic France. The most cheerful monument of the city is dedicated to Baron Munchausen and is located in the central park, next to the majestic Queen Louise church. This sculpture was given to Kaliningrad by the German city of Bodenveden, which is considered the birthplace of Baron Munchausen.
