Ave Maria Grotto, Alabama

Located in an old quarry, now the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, this is a garden of miniature replicas of churches from all over the world, executed in great detail, and landscaped into the rock. Largely the work of Brother Joseph Zoetl, who labored at the site almost without interruption from 1932 to 1961. On the National Register of Historic Places.
