Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6057735/f10f98ee-727f-4b65-a3db-5e860093e056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ave Maria Grotto 60 min drive \- 72.9 km - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - Bankhead National Forest 39 min drive \- 31.2 km - WildWater Cullman 57 min drive \- 69.9 km - Sportsman Lake Park 57 min drive \- 70.2 km ### Restaurants - La Plaza Bonita 21 min drive - Arley Coffee Shop 21 min drive - Talk Of The Town 15 min drive - Sonny's Catfish Cafe 18 min drive - Middle Of Meek 21 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Bargain on Big Water, Our Inaugural Season! pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Bargain on Big Water, Our Inaugural Season!? ### What time is check-out at Bargain on Big Water, Our Inaugural Season!? ### Where is Bargain on Big Water, Our Inaugural Season! located? ## Have a question?
