Frankenberg Castle, Aachen, Germany

Frankenberg Castle was constructed during the 13th century and historically it was the seat of a Vogt, local administrator. Until the end of the 19th century, the castle consisted of a broad forecastle, a farmyard, and a main castle (which was completely surrounded by water).

With the introduction of the French Constitution of 1793, Frankenberg Castle lost its status as a fief of Jülich. Between 1834 and 1838, the property underwent comprehensive renovation and modernization.

Frankenberg a residential area with citizens who are actively committed to peace, democracy, respect and appreciation for the political work in Aachen. A residential area with parks, playgrounds, old housing stock with wonderful facades and a castle.

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.
