A website about these fascinating and beautiful gardens of faith

Hundreds of Lourdes grotto replicas have been created in North America, found in nearly every state and province. This website documents their beauty, their meaning and their ubiquity in postcards and photos. I hope you enjoy the images and information about these spaces. More About the Site.

Welcome!

~Grottos are categorized by state or province (see the Grotto Map and the sidebar list below)

~Comments about your memories or experiences of a listed grotto are warmly welcomed, on the grotto’s page.

~If a grotto isn’t listed, please use the Suggest a Grotto form on the Contact page to let me know about it, so I can add it. Thanks! -Beth
