The Dickeyville Grotto and Shrines were built by Father Mathias Wernerus between 1924-1930 out of materials and found objects from all over the world. When he would travel he would find shells, china and pieces of glass and stones to add to his grotto. People from all over the world would send him pieces to add too.

There is shrine to Jesus and many other smaller memorial stones.

There is also a cometary on the property where Father Wenerus is buried on this property.

After you tour the property make sure to stop in the church's basement to shop at the resale shop to support them.
