Narva Museum organises excursions to Krenholm both by reservation and at 12:00 every Sunday from April till the end of October2022 wherein visitors gain an overview of the factory's more than 160 years of history in the midst of monumental industrial architecture. 2021 also marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig Knoop (1821-1894), the founder of the Kreenholm industrial complex and settlement. 

There is no equal to Krenholm – there was nothing else like this mammoth company with its more than 10,000 workers overlooking the foaming falls of Narva in either Russia or Europe as a whole. Although the machines in the factory no longer operate, workers no longer beaver away in its workshops and the falls are only open a few times a year, Krenholm's industrial architecture still fascinates people, recalling the glory days of this huge industrial park.

Led by a museum guide, the tour starts at the old Krenholm gates opposite Joala 32. While on the tour you can leave your car or bus in the free car park next to the gates. The tour lasts for around 90 minutes. During this time you explored the closed-off grounds of the factory and visit the old factory building itself, where you can take a look at a large knitting hall to better understand the scale of the work that was done here. The total length of the tour route is around 2.5 km. Since Krenholm is an industrial complex and the tour mainly takes place outdoors, please dress for the weather.

„Legends of Old Narva“

The history of Narva dates back centuries, and Narva Castle itself is more than 700 years old. The city has been a war zone many times, while the rulers of different countries have been here and important historical events have taken place here.

History is not only stored in documents and chronicles, but also in legends, where truth and fantasy are mixed. Not all folk tales are fairy stories: some are based on documented facts and give an idea of the customs of the past.

During the tour you will learn about the history of the city and hear stories about the beauty of the Virgin of Narva, the courage of a certain young Olaf, friendship and hostility, love and hate.

Find adventure in hitherto unknown corners of the castle and enjoy captivating legends and a glass of wine by the fireplace.

Price: 16 €/person. Minimum price of the tour 320 €
