The. Castle and the view is beautiful, the castle park is very small, we didn't dare to look inside because there are many companies in it, but the walk to the castle was nice.

Charming chateau, beautiful bright rooms. Various business premises eg. Hairdresser, beauty room, costume tailor, artist, antiques...etc. The BnB is worth an overnight stay. The view is so beautiful and wide. Just great. Yesterday and today there were still market stands, yodelling with fine sausages, yodelling, castle coffee shop, balloon artists and various attractions. Just great. Absolutely again. Thank you for these beautiful moments.

+Nice castle with a nice courtyard and beautiful surroundings! +Free parking directly at the entrance +Friendly people +Lift, toilets, self-service drinks/coffee corner Was there for a course, Perfect experience! - Google Maps does not understand the end of the journey. Leads to a dead end and then wants you to hop over the creek and climb up the castle wall! ? Finally, follow the signs to SchlafSchloss ?

We had 2 great nights at the castle. The Buffet breakfast was copious.

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.
