Already known place, it remains a nice stop to eat excellent Tyrolean specialties and drink excellent beer.

Mmmmmm nothing special, a country with the FORST company that is the host. Well immersed in the context though. Too bad that at the brewery shop, the bottles cost more than at the supermarket. Patience, I drink them anyway

Wonderful both in summer and in winter. Good beer good food fast and friendly service. Adjusted price. Great

Carlo Spagnolo (6 years ago)
Quality that has gradually reduced over time and is not worth the price. Beer is good. They feed you quickly and hurry you to leave the place. Never again

It has a very ancient history (it seems to date back to twelve hundred...) and it is famous for having hosted the famous minstrel poet Oswald von Wolkenstein, one of the best known medieval Tyrolean characters, in his prisons for months. Today it is owned by the Forst brewery and is used for events. It is not normally open to visitors.

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.
