Impressive building from the outside. Unfortunately not accessible inside. Neat cemetery is open.

Hejls Cemetery is always a pleasure to come by, as Tom is digging the cemetery so well. Tom is welcoming and a great help when we come up with headstones to be set up Greet your skilled stone carver Kolding Stoneware

My hometown church, where I am both baptized and confirmed. My parents and a large part of the family are buried there, as well as many others from my hometown. I really like that place.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
