Adolf Hahn Stairs

The Adolf Hahn Stairs are a historic staircase in Narva linking the Dark Garden (Pimeaed) area with the riverside walkway along the Narva River. The stairs were built in 1875 on the initiative of the then mayor Adolf Hahn and bear his name. Later construction work changed the original length of the stairs, and one section ended up underground when a new bridge was built. The staircase has been thoroughly restored, with the latest reconstruction completed in 2023. As an architectural structure in its own right, it helps visitors understand the levels of the townscape and historic routes through it. The stairs are not the same as the Dark Garden or the Narva river promenade as a whole.
