Muutused usuelus 1629-1721 Luterlik kirik Luteri kiriku organisatsiooniline ülesehitamine algas Rootsi võimu kindlamal juurdumisel Eestis. Liivi sõda oli viinud kiriku halba seisundisse: kirikuhooned olid purustatud ning enamik kogudusi olid jäänud õpetajateta. 1629. aastal asutati Põhja-Eestis Eesti Evangeeliumi Luteriusu Konsistoorium. Rootsi valitsusaja tegusamaks piiskopiks Eestimaal sai Joachim Jhering, kes suutis oma ametiajal (1638-1657) luteri kiriku Eestimaal kindlale alusele seada. Lõuna-Eestis ja Liivimaal asutati 1633. aastal Liivimaa Evangeeliumi Luteriusu Konsistoorium, mille ülesanneteks olid Rootsi kuningriigi dominioonide hulka kuulunud Eesti- ja Liivimaa kiriku- ja usuelu korraldamine, kirikute ehitamise ja nende regulaarsete sissetulekute tagamine, vaimulike ja kooliõpetajate ametiülesannete täitmise ja elukommete järele valvamine, abielurikkumiste, koguduste ja vaimulike omavaheliste lahkhelide ja tüliküsimuste lahendamine.

Linnade teke ja areng muinaslinnustest kuni 20. sajandini Muinasaeg Muinasaja lõpul jagunes rahvastik hõimualadeks Põhja-, Lõuna- ja Lääne-Eestis. 12.saj. lõpul oli 8-9 suuremat ja 4 väikemaakonda. Maakonnad jagunesid kihelkondadeks. Väikemaakondades oli neid 1-2, suuremates 3-7 . Kihelkond oli ühiskonnas keskne üksus. See oli teatava geograafiliselt piiratud ala külakondade vabatahtlik liit. Kihelkonnad hakkasid kujunema juba alates Rooma rauaaja lõpust ja keskmise rauaaja algusest. Siis algas linnuste ehitamine, mis oli kihelkondades ühine ettevõtmine. Eesti muinaslinnused on rühmitatud neljaks: neemiklinnused, kalevipoja sängid, mägilinnused ning ringvall-linnused. Muljetavaldavamad mälestusmärgid muinasaja lõpust on 11. ja 12 saj. kerkinud linnused - maalinnad Saaremaal ja Läänemaal (suurim Harjumaal Varbola Jaanilinn) ning mägilinnused Otepääl ja Lõhaveres.
