Nothing equals the Kreenholm factory – this enterprise, which roared between Narva’s foaming rapids with more than 10,000 workers, was unrivalled in Russia or Europe.
In 1857, Ludwig Knoop (1821-1894) established a cotton factory on Kreenholm Island between Narva’s rapids that shaped the life of the region for the next 160 years. And although the machines no longer work in Kreenholm, the workers no longer bustle in the factories and the Narva rapids are only open a couple of times a year, the industrial architecture of Kreenholm is still fascinating, with its huge industrial park recalling the glory days of yesteryear. Amidst the monumental industrial architecture, visitors get a glimpse of the manufactory’s more than 160-year history.
