Vallisaare was a village in Estonia, now part of Kuningaküla in the Alutaguse Parish, Ida-Viru County. The village was located on the western bank of the Narva River.[1]
Vallisaare was mentioned in 1655 as a village with three farms belonging to the Samokrass (later Arumäe) manor.[2] On 30 December [O.S. 20 December] 1658, the Treaty of Valiesar between Sweden and Russia ending the war of 1656–1658 was signed in the village, remaining in effect until the 1661 Treaty of Cardis.[3] After the Great Northern War, the village was renamed Usnovo (also called Uusnova or Ustna), but the name Vallisaare remained in local use.[2]
In 1922, the village consisted of one farm with three inhabitants.[2] The name was officially changed back to Vallisaare in 1934. Vallisaare was abandoned after World War II.[4]
