Cute small church with a colorful cemetery.

Beautiful area with both lake castle and church and now with a nice footpath, really nice trip, just one but the small wooden bridge in the reeds is very unstable to walk on

Nice view of the fjord, the lake and its birds.

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery, both very well maintained. The church is closed to the public but the cemetery is open to them. We have access to a very beautiful view of the fields where we can see animals such as cows or geese. The view also allows us to observe the fjord which is also very beautiful.

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.
