After many years we visited the beautiful Petershagen Castle at the weekend. It's great to see what has happened here in the last few years to bring the castle back to life. We only got a first impression of the public area and it leaves us wanting more. The guest room is super rustic and fits perfectly into the authentic ambience - the vaulted seating areas in particular are a hit. The beer garden also invites you to linger on nice days. Great work has been done here. Unfortunately the season is almost over but we'll be back.

A beautiful castle under reconstruction under difficult regulations. It is an admirable work that is currently being done there. The castle offers self-service drinks and food in the beer garden. There is a rustic feel-good atmosphere both in the building and in the inner courtyard. The hosts are very friendly and care about the well-being of the guests. We keep our fingers crossed that all upcoming activities are well received will be found and the castle will be able to take new paths at some point. Thanks also for the interesting tour!

Was there on the day of the open monument and I have to say, I really liked it! The new owners' concept sounds very promising. I'm sure it's in good hands now!

Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

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.
