Konuvere
Konuvere is a village in Märjamaa Parish, Rapla County in western Estonia,[1] on the north side of the Konuvere River.[2]
Baltic German general Paul von Rennenkampf (1854–1918) was born in Konuvere Manor, note for heroic role in the Boxer Rebellion, and his role during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.
Konuvere is located 58.809501° north of the equator and 24.413043° east of the prime meridian. It is also located 27 m (89 ft) above sea level.[3]
Konuvere hill fort
On a ridge between Konuvere and Vigala rivers lie the remains of a hill fort, probably settled in the 5th or 6th century. Excavations were carried out on the site in the 1970s. The site occupied a site approximately 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) large. It seems to have been surrounded by a palisade, and within the remains of houses and stoves have been found. The archaeologists also found several items, mostly from the 10th to 11th centuries, including a precious gilded bronze button of Scandinavian origin.[4]
