After a wonderful midnight mass at the Christmas eve given by a joyful priest who greeted each guest in the hands and sanitised several times, on my way out I stood shortly in the fojer to wait for my family, only for an old man to come down by his nose first after missing a step because of the doors which stood half way open, I helped him up and to his walker. He didn't need more helo but a rest to calm down. But some how i couldn't shake off the thought about the absence of a ramp at the main entrance.

Stripped, ascetic church. Unfortunately, in terms of interior design, not the most beautiful of Bergslagen's churches!

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.
