Abstract
Holy places of Rapla and Juuru parishes in the surroundings of Keava hill fort in northern Estonia will be discussed in this chapter with special emphasis on a sole archaeological study at folkloristically known hiis-place at Palukula. It shows that different holy places of one area had different meanings and probably also different ritual practices. Also a connection between medieval churches and pre-Christian cult places, an important issue in popular history, will be discussed. 1 The excavations at Palukula hiis and writing the chapter have been supported by the target financed theme No. SF0030181s08 and the Estonian Science Foundation grant No. 6451.
