St. Bonifatius, Neo-Gothic Catholic church in Lorchhausen, Germany.
The three-nave church features eight round sandstone columns supporting vaulted ceilings and incorporates red sandstone elements throughout its structure.
Construction began in 1877 under Pastor Wilhelm Aloys Ohlenschläger, following the complete destruction of the previous church by fire in March 1872.
The interior displays neo-Gothic decorations by sculptor Theodor Starcke, including reliefs on the high altar depicting the life of Saint Boniface.
The building serves as a branch church of the Heilig Kreuz Rheingau parish and contains an organ originally built by Johannes Klais in 1897.
The church stands on former vineyard grounds, as the limited space in Lorchhausen required selecting the Pforten site for construction.
