About Ivangorod

Ivangorod is a metropolis in Kingiseppsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, placed at the proper financial institution of the Narva River by way of the Estonia–Russia border, 159 kilometers west of St. Petersburg. Ivangorod is a prime border crossing point and a railway station by the Tallinn St. Petersburg line. It is located just opposite to the Estonian city of Narva. The city is the website of the Ivangorod Fortress, a outstanding fortification monument of the 15th and the 16th centuries.

The citadel, hooked up in 1492 in the course of the reign of Ivan III of Moscow, took its name from that of the Tsar. Between 1581 and 1590 and from 1612 to 1704, Sweden managed the place. Ivangorod become granted town privileges and administered as a Russian township below the Crown of Sweden until 1649, whilst its burghers were ordered to take away to a Narva suburb. In 1617 Russia and Sweden signed the Treaty of Stolbovo, which placed the area beneath Swedish sovereignty.

Despite different adjustments in territory and sovereignty, Ivangorod become considered an administrative a part of the town of Narva from 1649 till 1945. In 1780, Ivangorod, collectively with Narva, changed into blanketed into Narvsky Uyezd of St. Petersburg Governorate. In 1796, Narvsky Uyezd turned into abolished and merged into Yamburgsky Uyezd.
