There we were, my wife Christa and I, and about 25-30 more people in this, one of the Lutheran churches that #Denmark is rich. Good to see the congregation of Jesus coming together in a village. Singing together, confess the faith, pray and hear God's Word. It was about facing the future fearlessly and without worry, for God our Heavenly Father cares. Beautiful! Then it was the celebration of the Lord's Supper; kneeling as a congregation, receiving bread and wine. Precious in vacation time! Afterwards we talked with the pastor about being church in Denmark and the Netherlands. What a gentle and kind man... We wish this congregation the nearness of our God! And all those who are interested, feel free to enter this House of God to experience His peace, to pray or to experience a church service like us.

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.
