Ancient hillfort

Avispea linnus

German: Awispäch

The Avispea stronghold was a supposed stronghold whose location remains in modern times in the village of Avispea, the municipality of Little Mary. Jaan Jung and the Balti-German researchers Jordan, Pabst and some others assumed the existence of a stronghold near the Avispea school building. Latvia's Henrik has played a role in the emergence of this opinion, who described the great campaign to Virumaa made at the end of 1219, and said that the Livians and Latvians chose Avispea as a "house" for themselves.
