St. Boniface Cemetery, Wrought-Iron Cross Site is a 3.1-acre (1.3 ha) cemetery in Benson County, North Dakota, United States, several miles to the East-North East of Selz that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.^[1] It was associated with the later demolished St. Boniface Catholic church which was located on the opposite side of the road – thus in Pierce County – and active from 1905 through 1930. It mainly served a population of Germans from Russia.^[2]

It includes a collection of wooden and wrought-iron crosses, most of which have lost their paint and are in poor condition.^[2]^[3]

It includes works by Joseph P. Klein and John Krim, both of Pierce County, who were among a number of "German-Russian blacksmiths in central North Dakota" that developed their individual cross styles and whose "work was known for miles around them."^[1]^[3]^:13
