Ancient hillfort

Kuusalu Pajulinn

Kuusalu Pajulinn

Kuusalu Willow Town (also Urban Willow, Urban Pao or Linnaase) is an ancient ring-wall castle in Kuusalu Parish in Harju County. The castle is located northeast of the Tallinn-Narva highway, about 750 m north of the Kuusalu church in a small, now drained low swamp surrounded by higher farmland. The name of the city of Willow derives from the words "padu" or "padu", which represent a swamp or a place used as a refuge. The soogeological analysis, edited by Karl Orvik, confirmed that the culture layer of the fortress is located above a layer of peat that is dated to the period of subatlantic time.
