Border and River – Border River. Studies on the History of the Narva Region.

Rivers have always been boundaries and paths of connection. The Narva River visualizes – perhaps better than anywhere else in the world – the meeting and confrontation of Western and Eastern cultures. Along the Narva River, which separates two castles, for centuries passed the border between two worlds, or at least between the Western and Eastern churches.
