One of the best castles in Germany, with an impressive history. Great organzation behind is constantly maintaining the castle with so much love and dedication. It's really a pleasure to discover the castle through their eyes on a tour. So absolutely worth a trip whenever you're around this area. You can wander along the beautiful castle gardens and enjoy their delicious coffee & cake - tastes like at home with grandma- in their Schlosscafé. You can discover some interesting facts also inside the castle. If you're lucky enough there might be a concert to join as well.

Beautiful old castle in need of some renovation. The guided tour was really informative and the renovations that have been completed look great. The cafe was open when I visited and the staff there were very friendly and my cappuccino was really nice.

Beautiful castle, consisting of the Old Part and the New House. It's truly worth a visit.

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.
