I got married here and my parents too. In the cemetery next to the church all my mother's relatives rest.

Silvåkra church was probably built in the early 12th century. The baptismal font is also from the Middle Ages. The church is located in the military training area Revingehed. Its location at an altitude in combination with the solid walls indicates that the church may have had a military function. The visitor is also recommended to look at the adjacent Silvåkraallen which is very nice

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.
