St. Boniface Church, Antwerp, Anglican church in Antwerp, Belgium

St. Boniface Church is an Anglican church building in Antwerp designed in the Gothic Revival style, featuring tall windows and pointed arches typical of early 20th-century English ecclesiastical architecture. The interior displays classical Gothic elements that handle light and space in characteristic ways.

English merchants settled in Antwerp around the 12th century and dedicated a chapel to St Thomas of Canterbury. After the Reformation, the community dispersed, and only after the liberation of Antwerp in 1814 did Britons return. From 1821 they worshipped in the Chapelle des Tanneurs on Huidevettersstraat. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on 23 June 1906 by British ambassador Arthur Henry Hardinge, and it was consecrated on 22 April 1910.

The congregation brings together people from different countries who gather for services in English, making it a meeting place for those seeking Anglican traditions away from home. The church serves as a spiritual anchor for an international community within the city.

The church stands at Grétrystraat 39, a short walk from the Meir in central Antwerp. Visitors should confirm service times in advance, since the Anglican congregation's schedule varies through the year. The 2010 refurbishment, supported by the Flemish government, left the brick facade and its pale stone bands easy to examine from the street.

The first stone was laid on 23 June 1906 by British ambassador Arthur Henry Hardinge, before Belgian and British dignitaries. The church was consecrated on 22 April 1910 by Bishop Wilkinson and dedicated to Saint Boniface, the missionary bishop Winfrith of Crediton. In October 1914 a bomb blast nearby blew out all the windows of the rectory and shattered the church's east window.
