Döbschütz Castle was built on the right bank of the Schwarzen Schöps was probably built in the 10th-12th centuries. Its existence can be proven for the 10th century, where drawings on the house wall are the basis, and an old kitchen from around 1000 was uncovered in the cellar. In 1874 part of the castle burned down, which was followed by extensive renovations.

The castle was sold in 2001 to the Rößler family, who completely renovated it and opened a museum in 2003. There are also guest rooms in the castle.

After registering in advance via smartphone, there is an appointment for a visit. The castle is privately built and it has been very well done. Nice people and the best information. Recommendable.

A beautiful, rustic, historic and well-preserved moated castle in an idyllic location. A perfect backdrop for great photos. What impressed me even more were the lords of the castle. They are nice and always helpful and lovely people. Thank you for a great and unforgettable day with a medieval and romantic atmosphere.

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.
