Kapatuosia, Medieval hill fortress in Hollola, Finland
The Kapatuosia summit rises 56 meters above Vesijärvi lake and contains an observation tower used for monitoring during World War II.
Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed wooden fortification remnants and more than 300 silver coin fragments dating from 700 to 1000 AD.
Local stories tell that the Church of St Mary in Hollola connects to construction attempts at Kapatuosia through the work of two giants named Hollo and Marta.
The observation tower at Kapatuosia summit opens during summer months, offering visitors views across Vesijärvi lake and the surrounding region.
The north-south oriented moraine ridge forming Kapatuosia developed through meltwater movements during the last Ice Age, approximately 12,000 years ago.
