Tips

Around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Sacred Heart worship was revived; churches dedicated to the Sacred Heart were built and Sacred Heart statues were placed. Especially after the institution of the feast of Christ the King in 1925, Jesus was also depicted as king, with royal attributes such as a crown or sceptre.

The statue of Christ the King by Wim Harzig from 1938 is formed in sandstone. Around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Sacred Heart worship was revived; churches dedicated to the Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart statues were erected. It is therefore not a statue of Boniface (which is to be expected with a church of his name).

Contrary to what you would expect at a church named after Boniface, this is not a statue of Boniface but 'Christ the King'.
