Ejby Church is an ancient medieval church, consisting of a Romanesque ship (from about 1150 - 1200) with Gothic east extension, to which, in the late Gothic era (around the year 1500), three extensions were added, namely tower, sacristy and porch. The baptismal font dates from around 1300. It is made of Gothic limestone and is equipped with engraved apostle and saint figures. The altarpiece was painted in 1596 and is of the canopy type with catechism boards. The pulpit, in cartilage baroque, dates from 1625.

Beautiful whitewashed village church, which is a feast for the eyes. The church was built around the year 1150 with a Gothic extension to the east. In late Gothic times (around 1500) 3 extensions were made: tower, sacristy and porch. The church passed into private ownership in 1911

Herceg Novi Old Town

Herceg Novi was founded (on a former small fishing village, existing since Roman Empire times) as a fortress in 1382 by first Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. However, there was a short pause between 1538 and 1539 when it was held by the Spaniards before they were defeated in the Siege of Castelnuovo. Turkey ruled again until 1687, from then until 1797, the town was ruled by the Venetian Republic.

The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. Wandering through the small stairways to the various plazas and fortresses is a many hour adventure.
