Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Grotto of the Redemption is an interesting Roman Catholic religious shrine in West Bend. The structure is the life work of Catholic priest Father Paul Dobberstein. Over his lifetime he collected many stones and rocks during his travels and used them to build the shrine you see today. It is one of the largest grottos in the world. There are actually nine separate, man-made grottos, each representing a different scene from the life of Jesus Christ. The walls are embedded with stunning semi-precious stones, such as agates, crystals, rose quartz, petrified wood and even stalagmites that were taken from Carlsbad Caverns.
