Short story
For the first time, a small fishing village in the modern city of Narva Jõesuu was mentioned in the 14th century.
With the development of fishing in the early 16th century, the number of inhabitants in the village increases. In these times, it is called Gungerburg.
At the end of the 19th century, the village was transformed from a fishing port into a fashionable place to relax. Parks and summer cottages appear here, a little later, the doors of sanatoriums and rest houses open for guests. Thus began the emergence of one of the best resorts on the Baltic coast.
