Bonifatiuskapel Dokkum, Catholic pilgrimage chapel in Dokkum, Netherlands
The Bonifatiuskapel features a semi-circular design with tiered seating for 1,600 people, incorporating yellow-red bricks and stained glass windows throughout the structure.
Built in 1934 on existing foundations, the chapel commemorates Saint Bonifatius, who was killed near Dokkum in 754 during his mission to convert the Frisian people.
The chapel includes a processional pathway displaying the story of Saint Bonifatius, with fourteen Stations of the Cross designed by artist Jac Maris in the surrounding park.
Visitors can access the Bonifatiuskapel at Bronlaan 12 in Dokkum from June 1st to September 15th, with guided tours available for groups throughout the year.
The interior structure resembles a Roman amphitheater with an uncovered central courtyard between the altar and seating areas, connecting worshippers with nature.
