St. Boniface Catholic Church in Scipio, Kansas was built by German immigrants in 1891. The limestone church replaced a wooden church which was closer to St. Boniface Cemetery. The lovely building rises above the surrounding trees and a handful of nearby dwellings. It appears to stand alone when viewed from U. S. Highway 59, two miles away. The building is always open.
