The Château of Coudray-Montpensier, a former castellany under Montsoreau, is located on the road connecting Chinon to Seuilly, surrounded by fields and vineyards. The history of Coudray-Montpensier dates back to the Middle Ages (11th century). The estate was owned by successive noble families and lineages: the Montsoreau, the Marmande, the Sainte Maure, the Artois, the Bournan, the Bourbon, the Escoubleau, the de Vallière, and finally the Lamote-Baracé family.
The current château was built in the 14th century and significantly enhanced in the 15th century. In the 18th century, architect Anjubault designed the three garden terraces north of the château. Today, the château serves as a venue for hospitality, dining, and events.
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.
