Rõngu Vassal Castle Ruins

The Rõngu Vassal Castle Ruins are in Lossimäe village, Elva Parish, Tartu County. The surviving walls of a fortification from the time of the Bishopric of Tartu stand in Lossimäe Park, where on a walk you can imagine the former courtyard and defences. The castle's origins are linked to the 14th century and its destruction to the period of the Livonian War. There is no ticketed museum or restored castle here today: the main experience is seeing old stone walls in the open air. The surroundings of the ruins suit a quiet, short stop on a tour of Tartu County.
