It's cute. The Christmas market provided a nice atmosphere, and it was a nice experience.

We had our wedding on September 9th, 2023 at Schloss Wildberg and can only recommend this as a wedding location!! A fantastic ambience! We were able to start decorating and setting up from Thursday morning, so we didn't have that much stress just before the wedding, and we're very grateful for that! We also received all kinds of support on site and everything was implemented according to our wishes. We would always want to get married there again, it was really beautiful!

We decided to have our wedding at Wildberg Castle a year ago and the big day was a week ago. It was the best decision! Not only is the location itself a dream, but the collaboration with Gerhard Koller was also flawless. Here you can still speak of “One man, one word”. Our guests were also thrilled because even the wedding ceremony could take place in the 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.
