A small historical monument "Château de Niederstinzel" left to its sad fate, surrounded by a river and an organic farm. Very nice view in the distance, parcontre path inaccessible for the disabled, strollers or others. The only way to get there is on foot and a few jumps to pass because there are trenches around. Otherwise I advise you not to approach it because of the risk of falling rocks. Considering his condition. A question bothers me, where are the debris that fell??? No trace...

It's not worth going especially for it. Passing by, you can look in, grabbing a couple of sandwiches. Nature and good view guaranteed!

I have known this castle for a very long time and I find it a pity that no association takes care of this historic work. And for others there are thousands of euros (notre dames) thank you.

Place in the countryside, abandoned, too bad because a few years ago people participated in the restoration ....

Could not get to castle due to an electric fence. Couldn't see a way to visit a bit disappointing.

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.
