Interesting chateau being renovated by an association. Temporary exhibitions and an escape game enrich the building.

Congratulations also to the former mayor of Luttange, M Hans Raymond, who for 1 symbolic franc bought this castle for the town and started the renovation work.

We entered curious ... and very good surprise, we had a very friendly welcome and the right to visit part of the castle in the company of volunteers, who are renovating the place with a lot of heart!

Amazing! Congratulations to the volunteers who have restored the castle over the years. Thank you for the very interesting guided tour.

Surprising, not to say extravagant, this romantic-looking castle in the heart of the village... The team that is working to restore it deserves all the praise, even if concrete often replaces stone. The exterior of the castle looks good, and the ornamental plants on the facades are a good idea. The interior is more questionable, and the showrooms are rather poorly lit. Well worth a detour...and to be reviewed as the renovations progress.

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.
