Sint-Bonifatiuskerk, Dokkum, Catholic pilgrimage church in Dokkum, Netherlands

The Sint-Bonifatiuskerk features a three-aisled cross basilica structure with stone ribbed vaults beneath the choir and wooden barrel vaults over the nave areas.

Architect Pierre Cuypers designed this church in 1871, but its tower collapsed in 1874 and underwent complete reconstruction during the final building phase in 1878.

The church contains a reliquary with a portion of Saint Boniface's skull, transferred from the Fulda Cathedral crypt, making it a significant pilgrimage destination.

Visitors can access the Bonifatiuskapel from June through September and participate in guided tours throughout the year to learn about its religious significance.

The interior features stained glass windows created by H. de Vos in 1904 and Max Weiss in 1946, along with an organ built by L. van Dam in 1883.
