Ave Maria Grotto
located in Cullman, Alabama
Ave Maria Grotto is a small landscaped garden located at St. Benard Abbey (the only Benedictine Abbey in Alabama) and was dedicated in order to house the 125 miniature famous buildings and other edifices built by Brother Joseph Zoettl. Scattered throughout 3 acres of park grounds are his replicas which he created over more than 40 years.
The Grotto is sometimes called "Jerusalem in Miniature" because of the fantastic miniatures he created.
