EMMANUELLE TERRIBILE (4 months ago)
Terrible owner who only thinks about money. Our guests were outraged by his attitude. Organizing our children's wedding was a journey full of pitfalls for them and a visit to the castle was even made on the day of the wedding. During the visit, everything is possible and included in the prices. In reality, everything is extra. No cooking for the caterer!!! Flies and cockroaches in the rooms and non-existent heating. Flee this place and especially its owners!!!

Visit on Saturday for the heritage days of this magnificent castle. Adorable and passionate owners. Patrick with all his anecdotes about the place took us back in time. Thank you to them for this pleasant moment.

We had such a perfect stay here, the castle is beautiful, the rooms spacious, and the host treats you like family. Wholeheartedly recommend spending a few nights here, while exploring the Champagne region. The castle is located in between Épernay and Troyes, and Châlons-en-Champagne is also a surprisingly nice and friendly town with some very good restaurants.

Fantastically beautiful ambience, great facilities, fantastic food personally prepared by the castle owner. This one is patient and great with kids. From a place of transit to one of the lasting impressions of the holiday. Thank you for the hospitality.

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.
