What a beauuuuuuutiful church! It feels like you are just at the right place and in the right moment. The wooden floor feels very cozy and the church smells amazing. The painting is truly gorgeous and I am so glad we could walk in on a Friday night. You feel so welcome thanks to the warm light and I hope to come back some day to hear the impressive organ. Absolutely worth a visit!

Norra Sandsjö Church is a fine white church building with a lovely separate large wooden bell tower. Large airy cemetery with fine old trees that give a pleasant and calm feeling. The interior of the church is special with incredible paintings on the ceiling and walls. In addition, impressive furnishings and decorations. There is a disabled toilet in the church building.

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.
