Kellereischloss, Hammelburg, Germany

Kellereischloss is a palace in Hammelburg, Bavaria. The Baroque style palace was be translated as 'Wine Cellar Castle'. Kellereischloss was designed and built between 1726 and 1731 by Andrea Gallasini [de] (1681-1766), architect to the court of Adolphus von Dalberg, Prince-Abbot of Fulda. The site had been a wine cellar, and the seat of a tax collector, since 1279. The Prince-Abbot now desired a summer residence. It seems to have been to his satisfaction; for, in 1737, he died there.

The giant cellars under Kellereischloss could, at the high point of wine production in Hammelburg at the end of the 18th century, store 101 wine barrels with a total capacity of more than 700,000 litres.

You can go into the inner square, near the entrance there is a sign for the toilet, you need to go diagonally to the left from the entrance. Like everything in this city, it is well maintained and in good appearance and condition.

Winzerkeller: Great celebration location, also with a lounge area to chill out. However, with a room temperature of 13° at the beginning of March, it was a bit chilly ? The public toilet facilities directly in the archway next to the entrance to the wine cellar were renovated and were clean. However, the sewer smells - even though the sewage pipes were replaced ??‍♀️?

Beautiful castle. I recommend seeing it. A beautiful, small moat around the church

Very well located, not far from the highway. Ideal for a stopover. If you don't absolutely have to, you shouldn't use the sanitary facilities?. It's good that you have everything in your motorhome. ?

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.
