What can I say about this abbey? Magnificent Cotentin abbey in a rural setting conducive to inner rest. Ideal for revising your competitions!!! Once again a big thank you for the welcome of the monks and the exquisite cuisine of Brother Pierre!

Mass at the abbey on this feast of the assumption with collective prayer led by the monks. On site, after a visit to the La Trappe shop, tasting of its fine and tasty charcuterie products; she deserves a gold medal at the annual Grand Concours Agricole in Paris!

Beautiful place very peaceful. Too bad the store is only open on weekends. We could not taste the products made by the monks.

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.
