Šatrija (Shatriya) is a hill and a hillfort in the Samogitia region of Lithuania, near the Pašatrija [lt] village, Luokė seniūnija Telšiai District Municipality. [1] It is part of the Šatrija Landscape Reserve.[1]
The hill of 228 m. high was formed during the last glacial period.[2]
It is an archeological site no.A1939K[1] and a registered cultural monument no. AR1199 of Lithuania with the official names『Pašatrijos piliakalnis su gyvenviete』[Pašatrija Hillfort with Settlement] and『Luokės piliakalnis』[Luoke Hillfort].
The first excavations started in 1835, and the site was dated by the 1st millenium BCE. A wooden castle stood on its top at some in 14th century.Reserchers think that before Baptism there was an important pagan temple.[1][2]
The origin of the name is associated with a legend that this was the place of Samogitias witches' Sabbath. One day they danced too long, until the roosters' crows. All witched quickly flew away, but one misplaced her besom (on which witches fly) and started running around shouting "Where is my šatra?", hence the name (šatra is a twig from a besom). [2][1]
