After the fall of the Roman Empire, the free Frisians gradually became a major power in Europe with a large merchant fleet. Boniface was a monk from England entrusted with the mission of converting the heathens in Friesland to Christianity. He was making his way to Dokkum to perform baptisms when he was murdered.
However, Christianity eventually became the dominant religion in Europe and monasteries sprang up like mushrooms. Dokkum became a place of pilgrimage on the Wadden Sea coast.
The first section of the Bonifatius Kloosterpad Monastery Route sets off from where Saint Boniface was murdered. Leading past several churches, a sacred spring and a nature reserve once thought be a god-forsaken area, it arrives at the village of Feanwâlden, where you can see the only remaining medieval stronghold in Friesland.
