(This is the second post of our trip to Charlotte, NC, first post 'Rosedale Plantation')
Belmont Abbey Basilica of Mary Help (Maria-hilf)
Its architectural style is German Gothic-Revival, built in 1892 - 1894 and since 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places.
The art glass windows were crafted by an artist in Munich, Germany.
Belmont Abbey College was founded in 1876 by the Benedictine monks of Belmont Abbey.

| St. Benedict |
The monastery's Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes was created in 1891 and designated as a pilgrimage shrine.
The Grotto Garden with a statue of St. Walburga in its wintery look
Beautiful large old trees, like this Crepe Myrtle, grow all over the Campus grounds
St. Leo’s Hall, built in the American Benedictine style
This growth on a Crepe Myrtle trunk gives me the creeps (can you see 'it'?)
