The Protestant church of Damwâld-Dantumawâld or Saint Benedict’s church[1] is a religious building in Damwâld-Dantumawâld, one of the medieval churches in Friesland.

The church was built in the 12th century out of Tuffstone.[1] In 1775 the current triple closed choir was built, in it are two large Romanesque windows.[1] The tower dates from the 13th century and is built out of brick.[1] The Pipe organ was built in 1777 by Albertus Antoni Hinsz.[1]

The church is located on the Doniawei 76[2] and was once a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Boniface but became a Protestant church after the protestant reformation. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 11681.[3]
