Dokkum Attractions

Commune: Dongeradeel

Dokkum, the most northerly town in the Netherlands, has long been a place of pilgrimage as the scene of the martyrdom in 754 of St Boniface, an English Benedictine monk and missionary.
The well-preserved fortifications, town hall and the centre of town are notable landmarks.
