Konuvere

Konuvere (German: Konofer) is a village in Märjamaa Parish, Rapla County in western Estonia,[1] on the north side of the Konuvere River.

[2] Baltic German general Paul von Rennenkampf (1854–1918) was born in Konuvere Manor, note for heroic role in the Boxer Rebellion, and his role during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. Konuvere is located 58.809501° north of the equator and 24.413043° east of the prime meridian.

[3] On a ridge between Konuvere and Vigala rivers lie the remains of a hill fort, probably settled in the 5th or 6th century.

It seems to have been surrounded by a palisade, and within the remains of houses and stoves have been found.

The archaeologists also found several items, mostly from the 10th to 11th centuries, including a precious gilded bronze button of Scandinavian origin.
