The venue was constructed as part of a regional government initiative to relocate the KVN festival from Jurmala to the Kaliningrad region.
The complex is situated on a high cliff overlooking the Baltic Sea, requiring a descent to access the beach level.
The Sea Museum inside the hall contains a permanent exhibition of marine skeletons and sea-themed historical artifacts.
The building was inaugurated in 2015 to serve as a high-capacity modern venue for major federal and international events.
