A neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, it was built in 1873. It's majestic standing in the centre of the city. No fee to view inside, and it's definitely worth going inside.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Vaduz. Entrance is free and not restricted. Inside of the cathedral is extremely silent and clam and the interior is beautifully designed. There's nothing much to do in this city. If you plan to visit Vaduz, don't forget to add this location to your itenerary.

Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Vaduz. Calm and peaceful

Nice to visit but apart from this church there aren't many things to see, especially, the Schloss is not open for public. It's kind of a boring town. And seems some tourists just come here for the passport stamp.

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.
