Kreenholm

Kreenholm (German: Krähnholm for crow islet) is a river island in Estonia, located in the Narva River, within the city limits of Narva.

In 1538, the Livonian Order built a watermill on the left bank of the river just opposite the island, and in 1823 a cloth factory operated by a local merchant, Paul Momma, was opened on the right bank of the Narva River.

Baron Stieglitz's flax mill was located on the right bank.

[1] In 1856, German industrialist Ludwig Knoop acquired the whole island and founded a textile factory there, which was known as the Krenholm Manufacturing Company.
