The Krengolm factory complex is located on a river island near the city of Narva in Estonia. Powered by nearby waterfalls, this textile manufacturer was considered a very modern enterprise when it was built in 1857. The factory is still running now, over 150 years after its construction. Interestingly, there was a Soviet badge awarded to best workers of this factory in 1957 to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
