Orekhovy Island (Russian: Ореховый остров; Swedish: Nötö; Finnish: Pähkinäsaari) is an island in Russia, situated in Lake Ladoga and located at the confluence of Ladoga and the River Neva, at the town of Schlisselburg in Leningrad Oblast.[1] The island is the site of the medieval Shlisselburg Fortress, where Sweden and Novgorod signed the Treaty of Nöteborg in 1323. In Russian, Finnish, and Swedish, the name means 'nut island'.
