St. Boniface's Church, Catholic parish church in Bergen auf Rügen, Germany.
St. Boniface's Church is a Gothic Revival building in Bergen auf Rügen featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall windows with ornamental stonework. The structure displays characteristic gothic architectural elements throughout its interior and exterior surfaces.
The church was constructed in 1912 after Catholics on the island had held services in private homes and a mission building for many decades. The new structure finally provided a dedicated space for the growing Catholic community on Rügen.
The church serves as the main gathering place for the Catholic community on the island to worship and celebrate together. Visitors can observe how the building functions in daily community life through regular services and local gatherings.
The church is easy to find in town and opens regularly for visitors to explore its interior. It is best to visit outside of service times to walk through the space without interruptions.
A new organ with neo-gothic casing was installed in the church in 2000, adding to its musical heritage. The instrument plays an important role in services and special celebrations held within the building.
