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)
