St. Bonifatius, Lutheran church near Weser River in Hamelin, Germany

The church structure combines Romanesque elements in its north-south transept with Gothic details and an octagonal crossing tower topped by a Baroque lantern.

The crypt of St. Bonifatius was constructed around 800 AD by Saxon nobles Bernhard and Christina before being transferred to the Benedictine Abbey of Fulda.

The church includes a Gothic wooden sculpture of St. Bonifatius containing a rock crystal cavity designed to store religious objects and sacred remains.

The church holds regular Lutheran services and maintains an organ built in 1980 by Marcussen & Søn featuring 28 registers with mechanical action.

Between its religious functions, the building temporarily served as a storage facility and barn during the early nineteenth century before its restoration in 1875.
