Again one where is not accessible, too bad. Is privately owned. Is well preserved. Otherwise optically in good shape. I would say small and fine.

A small and beautiful old castle. The castle is situated on a small hill in the village of Buchenbach, south of Mulfingen. The castle is also known as Buchenbach Castle. It doesn't matter whether it's a palace or a castle, for me it's just beautiful. ( P R I V A T OPERATIONS )

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.
