Durward's Glen, Historic retreat center in Baraboo Hills, Wisconsin.
The 40-acre property contains a church, grotto, residences, barn, and outdoor religious statues nestled between steep bluffs of the Baraboo range.
Bernard Durward, a Scottish-born painter and poet, purchased the property in 1862 and established it as a family residence with artistic pursuits.
The site features Renaissance Revival architecture, with St. Mary's of the Pines chapel serving as a focal point for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Visitors can access the trails and grounds from dawn to dusk throughout the year, with the chapel open weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
The Madison Knights of Columbus restored the chapel in the 1920s after a fire, preserving its significance as a religious and architectural landmark.
