Thomas was a very good speaker for this very interesting guided tour. The castle has some beautiful furniture and some beautifully crafted pieces. A visit to the very well maintained garden closes this beautiful visit.

Very beautiful castle, facade in very good condition, magnificent chapel, nice guide, presentation a little too close to the messages he wishes to convey, it's a shame because it lacks spontaneity and fluidity. We forgive him he arrived if we understood correctly at the beginning of August he needs this time of adaptation necessary for everyone.

Very beautiful castle, whose passionate owner has maintained the atmosphere, the decoration of yesteryear! The guided tour made by a young student was very pleasant

A place of great beauty, decorated with taste and harmony, and a very nice visit led masterfully by Perrine, a passionate and fascinating young student.

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.
