Rapla County, Administrative county in central Estonia
Rapla County is an administrative area in central Estonia that spans a large territory characterized by forests, lakes, and farmland. The region comprises several rural municipalities and forms an important part of Estonia's administrative structure.
The region first appeared in written records in the Danish Census Book of 1241, which documented settlements and cultivated fields. Since then it developed into an established administrative area with a continuous agricultural tradition.
The limestone church of Rapla, constructed in 1901, maintains centuries-old interior elements and contains historical crosses from the 17th century.
The region is connected to other Estonian areas through a road network, with the Tallinn-Viljandi railway line providing the main transport link. Visitors can explore the area most easily by car or use the train connection for longer journeys.
The area contains significant deposits of limestone, dolomite, peat, and clay that have long supported local industries. These natural resources shape the region's economy and landscape to this day.
