Description: The Ave Maria Grotto, located in Cullman, Alabama, is a unique and enchanting four-acre park featuring a collection of 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures and landmarks from around the world. Created by Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk at St. Bernard Abbey, the intricate miniatures are crafted from a variety of materials, including stone, concrete, and donated items like marbles and costume jewelry. This labor of love, often referred to as "Jerusalem in Miniature," offers visitors a serene and inspiring experience, blending art, faith, and history in a beautifully landscaped setting.
