Siivertsi monument

Beside the road to Narva-Jõesuu, in the Siivertsi district of Narva, stands a monument to the soldiers of Peter the Great's Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky guards regiments who fell in the battle of Narva in 1700, when the young Swedish king Charles XII defeated a much larger Russian army. It was unveiled on the battle's 200th anniversary, 2 December 1900. The monument was badly damaged in the Second World War, when Narva was ruined, and was restored and reopened on 1 September 1956.

Narva Siivertsi linnaosas Narva-Jõesuu tee ääres seisab monument Peeter I Preobraženski ja Semjonovski kaardiväepolgu sõduritele, kes langesid 1700. aasta Narva lahingus, kui noor Rootsi kuningas Karl XII võitis palju suurema Vene väe. See avati lahingu 200. aastapäeval, 2. detsembril 1900. Monument sai Teises maailmasõjas, kui Narva purustati, tugevasti kannatada ning see restaureeriti ja avati uuesti 1. septembril 1956.
