Question/Information

Nearby is the Gloomy Garden, which was the most beautiful place in Narva if you wanted to walk in the fresh air. However, you had to be careful with the women of Narva who could approach you there, being unusually intrusive. The following pun was widespread in Narva at that time: A fool who buys a cow from the city, a fool who takes a woman from Narva" It is difficult to say anything definite about the reasons for such ingenuity, but it is possible that it may have been due to the large number of single girls. After all, the working family of the Kreenholm Manufactory, which numbered in the thousands, consisted mainly of young women.
