Wow! This place is amazing. Absolutely breathtaking house, beautifully furnished and managed by Fabrice and Aurélien, set in acres of woodland. This place is a real gem - ideal for relaxing and enjoying the French countryside. I am hesitant to rave too much about this place as I would love to keep it as our little secret, but that would be unfair to the owners who have dedicated so much time and effort into making the chateau such a magical place. If you are in the area or passing through Champagne, this is a must!

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.
