What a beautiful garden and beautiful castle, we had never been here. Nice friendly welcome and coffee with apple pie included in the entrance fee. Fantastic organization with an eye for detail. Also got an explanation about the garden and castle by a very friendly hostess. We will definitely come again next year, thank you for the wonderful day.

Great wedding location located in a beautiful garden. You can get married both inside and outside and nothing is too much for the staff!

Open to visitors twice a year. Beautiful, well-maintained garden. Many volunteers work on this all year round.

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.
