Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Friesland
The original mediaeval Well dedicated to Saint Boniface was located in the centre of Dokkum, at the Markt. During a catholic revival in the second half of the 19th Century the veneration was moved to another old well, orginally used by the local beer brewers. A miraculous healing of a child with wheeping cough took place in 1990, adding to continued popularity of this place of pilgrimage. The Holy Well is now part of a complex with park and chapel, built in the 1920s and 30s.
