Satesele Hillfort was the main Liv fortification on the left shore of the Gauja River until AD 1212. The Livonian Chronicle of Henry mentions it as belonging to lands led by elder Dabrelis.
The site is a monument to the Finno-Ugric Liv culture of the late Iron Age, the turbulent period of the Crusades, and the Christianisation in the 13th century. To honor the history and research of Satesele Hillfort, the Turaida Museum Reserve will host an event to increase interest in the archaeological site and its preservation.
