Heritage day, very nice visit. Private and very well maintained castle. I recommend. Interior visit by reservation.

Charging an entry fee of €5 per person, on the weekend of heritage days, is an aberration when we know that the owners benefit from public funds to renovate their homes! These people should be reminded that public funds are not money falling from the sky but rather taxes paid by those who pay them! On top of that, 3 rooms to visit, a tower and a park with only trees, it's really making fun of the world. And the comment on the link with the Ukrainian ambassador was so poor that we felt embarrassed! At least live up to what you ask of visitors.

I love the environment and the ambience at the chateau. The park is incredible and the tour is very informative. I had the pleasure to bump into the owners at my entrance and it was an unforgettable moment to see the love and care they have for this magnificent chateau.

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.
