A sweaty climb (bicycle), but the view and the sight of the castle are impressive. It was not possible to visit the castle.
Jürgen Großhans (2 years ago)
Very nice property, but no entry possible as it is private.

You can also find such a private castle while collecting mushrooms. There have been nicer days, but an attractive location.

Very impressive building in great condition (as far as an assessment is possible). I think it's great that this castle has survived the centuries to tell of its eventful and incredible history. I recommend the Wikipedia article on the castle to everyone.

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.
