Ancient hillfort

Alulinn

Alulinn (also in the sources Alolinn) was a once stronghold with its position in the municipality of Lüganus in Ida-Viru County on the territory of the village of Aa, about 1.75 km southeast of the heart of the Aa Manor, about 600 m south of the Tallinn-Narva highway. It was a salt castle on the border between the parish of Askälä and Alutagus. This is the easternmost known ancient stronghold in Virumaa. According to the old tradition, Alulinna was said to have been built by someone witch as housing for the daughter of a parent she had kidnapped.
