Nice place to walk around the Parc. We will come back to visit the chateau inside.

Just out walking our dog and ran into the Count of this magnificent Hunting Castle. Lovely gentleman who graciously offered us a private tour of his mansion even though it was closed to tourist for the season. Amazing collection of historical art and generations of family history. Truly a sight to behold and I'd recommend anyone in this area to come for a visit, but be sure to book ahead if you need an English speaking guide. When we're back to this region, it will definitely be on our favorite places to visit and hang out with the Count again : )

We visited the gardens and castle with our small daughter. The gardens are huge and beautiful with meadows, small forests, a lake and some cows. The tour guide was very understanding with our daughter during the 1 hour visit of the castle. It is still inhabited by its owner who is around and who is a very friendly and educated person. We will certainly come back.

Beautiful castle, with an English style garden and a large park to take a stroll in. Guided visits available in summer.

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.
