Kreenholm area and Kreenholm Textile Factory
A double-terraced waterfall is located on the Narva River, just above the city. Kreenholm Island is located between the two terraces.

A compact complex of industrial architecture developed around the factory that included the factory, a hospital, workers' barracks, directors' houses, and Kreenholm Park. The buildings were built in the English style using red brick. The Kreenholm brand is known far beyond Estonia.
