The Grotto is a series of shrines built by a priest from 1925 to 1930. They are created primarily of stone, mortar and brightly colored objects and include (according to the website) materials collected from all over the world: gems, pottery, porcelain, stalagmites and stalagmites, sea shells, starfish, petrified sea urchins and fossils, corals, amber glass, agate, quartz, various ores, fool's gold, rock crystals, onyx, amethyst and coal, petrified wood and moss. You could call it a religious version of The House of the Rock, another famous, over-the-top Wisconsin tourist destination.
