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 He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man.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 61 min drive \- 45.8 miles - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 miles - WildWater Cullman 57 min drive \- 43.7 miles - Sportsman Lake Park 57 min drive \- 44.0 miles - Heritage Park Cullman 58 min drive \- 44.2 miles ### Getting around - Birmingham International Airport (BHM) 67 min drive ### Restaurants - Jack's 14 min drive - La Plaza Bonita 14 min drive - Subway 15 min drive - Cujos Pizza 11 min drive - Arley Coffee Shop 14 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Secluded Cove-Stunning Views- Sloping Lot- Near Duncan Bridge pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Secluded Cove-Stunning Views- Sloping Lot- Near Duncan Bridge? ### What time is check-in at Secluded Cove-Stunning Views- Sloping Lot- Near Duncan Bridge? ### What time is check-out at Secluded Cove-Stunning Views- Sloping Lot- Near Duncan Bridge? ### Where is Secluded Cove-Stunning Views- Sloping Lot- Near Duncan Bridge located? ## Have a question?

It’s great when you have any host that cares. She definitely wanted to ensure her guests were comfortable. Second, the house was nice a cozy. The master bed was very comfortable. Some window treatments in the two guest bedrooms would be great to ward off morning sun, but the kids didn’t mind. You’ll be with kayaking distance of Duncan Bridge but nestled in a nice little cover with plenty of water toys. Highly recommend for a convenient getaway!! ![Nice sunsets from the back deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9b0f2b1-b223-446b-9c3e-41d730879828-1751077004350.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Raymond I.

Homeowner stayed in touch, not an agency. Basic necessities being stocked upon arrival is always so hopeful when traveling with kids (paper napkins, TP, trash bags, etc.) and they had these and more! Especially the availability of the leisure items! I could not rave enough. My family of five (kids 3, 5, 8) couldn't have picked a better spot. ##### Lora S.
