Muhu hill fort, Archaeological fort and castle ruins in Linnuse, Estonia
The stone fortification stands on elevated ground, featuring remnants of ancient walls that outline the original defensive structure near Muhu Municipality.
The fort gained historical significance in January 1227 when Livonian forces confronted Estonian defenders at this strategic location during the Estonian Crusade.
The fort remains integrate with local Estonian heritage, preserving evidence of medieval military engineering and construction methods from the region.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking the ferry to Muhu Island and following directional signs through the rural roads of Linnuse.
The fort's position on Muhu Island made it a crucial defensive point for monitoring maritime activities in both the Suur Strait and Väike Strait.
