Bonifatius-Kirche, Romanesque church in Großheide, Germany.

The Bonifatius Church stands on elevated ground with its 42-meter tower featuring architectural elements from both Romanesque and Gothic periods.

The first documentation of the church dates between 1106 and 1116, when the Bremen Cathedral chapter received authority over the structure.

The church preserves a carved altar from before the Reformation period, displaying scenes from the Passion of Christ with North Dutch-Frisian influences.

The church maintains its religious functions and contains a 13th-century baptismal font made of Bentheim sandstone with lion figures at its base.

The structure required a 7.5-meter deep foundation of granite blocks and reaches a height of 8.5 meters above sea level.
