Waldenbuch Castle, Waldenbuch, Germany

Schloss Waldenbuch served as a hunting lodge of the dukes of Württemberg. The core of the complex goes back to a castle that was already mentioned in 1381. Duke Christoph expanded the old castle into a hunting lodge in 1562-1566. He built a rectangular two-storey building. Today the castle hosts the museum of everyday culture.

It's a good museum with a recycling theme. It is free and open to the public. Masks are mandatory due to Covid-19 measures.

Very well-curated museum dedicated to the humble and the ordinary things of the last century or two. Informative and self-aware, the museum is well worth your time while in Waldenbuch.

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.
