Korzkiew Castle

Korzkiew, Poland

The first castle in Korzkiew was erected in 1325 by Jan from Syrokomla. It was part of the 'trail of eagles nests', one of a chain of 14th century (reign of King Casimir) medieval castles that protected the north- western border of royal Krakow that went all the way to Czestochowa. The castle is being restored and currently houses a boutique hotel and a conference center-banquet hall.

Great visiting place, nice for a quick walk in the near park and forest area. Very interesting castle with rooms and spaces for rental - photoshoots, balls, family gatherings or so.

14th century castle which is being renovated and commercialized as a hotel and/or event-planning venue. Situated on a hill, bit far from Kraków. The surrounding and the building as a whole is really amazing but in some parts the clear architectural mis-match of the modern bricks and old stony walls can be visible. Interiors are though impressively decorated and nice overall ambiance. Friendly and welcoming staffs.

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.
