Rõngu Castle, Medieval vassal castle ruins in Elva Rural Municipality, Estonia.
The stone remnants of Rõngu Castle include a rectangular courtyard with surrounding wings and a fortified gate structure with chapel elements.
Built in the early 14th century at the southwestern border of the Bishopric of Dorpat, the castle served as a control point for territorial defense.
The castle complex incorporates architectural elements of medieval Estonian defensive structures, including a gatehouse with an integrated second-floor chapel.
Visitors can explore the castle ruins and surrounding park grounds, which contain several memorials dedicated to the Estonian War of Independence.
Russian troops damaged the castle during the Livonian War, after which local Jesuits maintained the structure until its demolition in the 17th century.
