A castle preserved by the municipality of Roost Warendin which deserves your visit when it opens. Next slot, the Heritage Days in September.

Surprising and exciting, this pretty castle is worth the detour! Built in the middle of the 18th century, it has been restored (parquet, marquetry and grisaille paintings are from the period). Emptied of its furniture by the former owners, it now houses a museum "of ancient times" with reconstructions of daily life at the beginning of the 20th century. Thank you to the person from the town hall for the guided tour which was as interesting as it was friendly.

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.
