After the Gottorf inhabitants lost the Great Northern War against the Danish crown, Tsar Peter the Great – a Danish ally – requested the globe as a present and had it brought to St. Petersburg. The globe is still there today. It has been severely damaged due to its far transport, fire and the chaos of war, however repeatedly restored anew. Hardly any of its original ornamental painting has remained intact. Only its constructional frame and the door have still remained true to the original.
