Toolse is a village in Vihula Parish, Lääne-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia.
Toolse castle (German: Tolsburg) was a crusader castle belonging to the Teutonic Order. It was completed in 1471. At one point, it was the northernmost outpost of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, Estonia was never part of that state.
Today only ruins remain. A conservation and archaeological survey scheme has been carried out at the site since 2006.
