Viljandi Castle of the Teutonic Order
The main castle is a Convent building, protected with three outer baileys. Prehistoric hillfort (9th - 13th century AD) was located on Kaevumagi, the site of the later main castle. In 1223 it was conquered by the German crusaders. Stone fortifications were started from AD 1224. The Convent building was erected at the turn of the 13th - 14th century. Modifications and reconstructions took place until the second half of the 16th century. The castle was badly damaged in the Livonian War 1558 - 1583 and the following Polish-Swedish War 1600 - 1622/23, it lost its remains of military importance in the Northern War 1700-1710. Parts of the castle were demolished during the 18th century, as the resurrecting town needed building material. Archaeological excavations took place in 1878-1879, in 1939 and since 1998.
