I am mostly in Ramnes Church in connection with funerals. No later than March 2024. The church creates a particularly dignified and historic framework around any marking of life's important events. You feel like you are stepping into history when you enter. The church is one of the many old stone churches from the Middle Ages that we are lucky enough to have in Vestfold. If you haven't visited it yet, a visit must be made immediately!

November 8, 2021 is a very sad day. A girl, dressed and named as a boy, “C.J.,” as she was commonly known at Horten VGs school and by her local community, was yet another victim of the norwegian system. Every year, many other girls and boys take their own lives, after being placed in a "perfect norwegian foster-family", brainwashed by Janteloven. This isn't shown in the newspapers! Why did the case workers from barneverntjenester didn't care nor do they report the abuses she was going through inside that "perfect bonus-family"? She might be in a better place now, relieved! Rest in peace!

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.
