Kreenholm, River island in Narva, Estonia

The Kreenholm island divides the Narva River into eastern and western branches, measuring 750 meters long and 250 meters wide.

In 1856, German industrialist Ludwig Knoop established the Kreenholm Manufacturing Company, which became the largest textile factory in the Russian Empire.

The industrial complex included residential buildings, schools, hospitals, churches, and various service facilities, forming a complete community for workers.

The riverbed remains dry most of the year, with water released through locks only during high water season from the Narva Reservoir.

The double-terraced waterfall at Kreenholm was once the most powerful in Europe before the construction of the Narva Reservoir in 1955.
