The Grotto and the Garden

This place is somewhat hard to find. It is located at the front of an apartment complex. The…read moreeasiest way to find it is to Park at or near the University Park Apartments leasing Office. The garden is facing the office, right across the parking lot. It is a very unique and historical place. It was built in 1921 and is located in what is known as the St. Jospeh's neighborhood, named after the former St. Joseph's Infirmary, which has since been demolished. The Grotto and Garden and one of the few remaining pieces of the infirmary. it was designated as a Local and State Historical Landmark in 2001. The garden is maintained by volunteers known as the Grotto Grannies. The grotto is well maintained and designed to be a peaceful place to reflect and pray. It is a beautiful brick structure full of little murals, and flowers (especially during the spring and summer) that has a religious foundation. The Grotto was designed based on a similar place in France, where Bernadette Soubirous is said to have seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1858. There is a bench that you can sit there and people have placed their own personal memorial and prayer request there. It is a hidden gem and a must visit if you are in Louisville.

Such a beautiful, powerful and peaceful part of history. A unique find and very glad we did it.read more
