Our Lady Queen of Peace Shrine Attraction

Located northeast of the Roofless Church at the end of Main Street, this stone carving of Our Lady and the Christ Child is from Isle St. Louis, France, and is the work of an unknown 15th-century sculptor. This is New Harmony’s oldest work of art. It was dedicated to the memory of the Trappist Monk, Thomas Merton (1915-1968), in 1986 by a Trustee of the Merton Legacy Trust. The shrine is open 24/7 for personal contemplation.
