 About our cityNarva is situated in the eastern extreme point of Estonia, 200 km to the east from the Estonian capital Tallinn and 130 km southwest from Saint Petersburg. The capital of Ida-Viru County, Jõhvi, lies 50 km to the west. The eastern border of the city along the Narva River coincides with the Estonian-Russian border. The Estonian part of the Narva Reservoir lies mostly within the territory of Narva, to the southwest of city center. The mouth of the Narva River to the Gulf of Finland is about 13 km downstream from the city. Narva is dominated by the 15th-century castle, with the 51-metre-high Long Hermann tower as its most prominent landmark. The sprawling complex of the Kreenholm Manufacture, located in the proximity of scenic waterfalls, is one of the largest textile mills of 19th-century Northern Europe. Other notable buildings include Swedish mansions of the 17th century, a Baroque town hall (1668–71), and remains of Erik Dahlberg's fortifications. Narva is well worth a trip on your visit to Estonia. |
Weclome to the homepage of NARVA PATRIOTS RFCNarva Patriots was established on September 5, 2009, when the club had its opening event for the kids of the city of Narva to help promote rugby as a sport and all the important principles that the game entails: healthy life-style, anti-drug movement and integration. Although the adult team of players had played for the National team in games against Latvia and Ukraine earlier that year, the 5th of September is a remarkable day for the Club as it was the first time that the squad went public. Today, more and more members are joining Narva Patriots as well as Narva Rhinos junior team. Narva Patriots are grateful to Mr. John Slade for his zeal and enthusiasm in attempts to establish a rugby team in Narva, considering him the “father” of rugby in the city. The Club also appreciate the support and understanding we have received from the Headmaster of Narva Kreenholmi gümnaasium Mr. Gennadi Bykov. Vyacheslav Konovalov Chairman of Narva Patriots 2009-2010
