Wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I stayed for a few days in the 3 bedroom apartment at the end of May. No one else was even there. This is a fantastic hidden gem. We will definitely stay again next tome in germany. My only regret was we were unable to stay longer. We ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!!

We just walked around the grounds and took few photos. We didn't go inside. Nice old castle. The brochure says you can rent the place for functions.

Just a courtyard, impressive building, would be cool to actually see more than just the courtyard though.

This place is seriously magnificent, I went there on a trip and was blown away by the historical background and nighttime lighting

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.
