Additional Details:
With the addition of the front towers the Archabbey Church will be one of the finest specimens of Romanesque architecture in the country. The cornerstone was laid in 1892 and thirteen years were spent in construction. To the right is the statue of Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, the founder of St. Vincent-the oldest and largest Benedictine abbey in the United States.
