Delightful little church located on a slight hill that enhances it. The well-kept grassy cemetery gives a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. Landscape around love.

Nice old church (started to be built in the 11th-13th century) which is located in the middle of an agricultural area and by the road to Heistadmoen!

Good but very uneven lawn that is difficult to walk on

The place is under renovation due to lack of maintenance. Gets good when done.

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.
