That's pretty awesome. Are these the kind of monks that brew delicious Trappist beer?

A group of Carmelite monks deep in the mountains of Wyoming is doing something few would dare.
They’re building a towering Gothic monastery… with CNC machines.
Yes. An ancient monastic order is using cutting-edge tech to create a structure that looks like it could have risen in the Middle Ages.
Twenty years ago, they came to Meeteetse with $400 and a dream no one believed in. Experts told them their monastery would cost $80 million. It was impossible.
So they did what monks have done for centuries: they adapted.
They taught themselves how to carve stone with diamond-tipped CNC machines. No formal training. No engineering background. Just faith, grit, and prayer.
Block by block, some weighing over 4,000 pounds, they’re shaping angels, gargoyles, and ribbed arches worthy of a medieval cathedral.
Their goal: a chapel that could stand for a thousand years. A masterpiece hidden in the Wyoming wilderness.
Some say it’s madness.
Others say it’s a miracle in slow motion.
What do you call it?

Perhaps a giant bronze monkey god statue is more your style?

I've said since I was a teenager that if my life completely falls apart, my marriage is somehow ruined, I lose everything - I am taking that vow of silence and becoming a monk.
When we were on our way to the beach on a family vacation when I was maybe 13 or so, we passed by a monastery where the monks were selling handmade ice cream for donations. I thought to myself at the wise old age of 13, "they don't have to talk to anyone AND they get to make ice cream? I'm SOLD"
After seeing this awesome place they're building and dealing with a lifetime of bills, work, stress, running on the hamster wheel... I think they might have the right idea all along

Not apples to apples. One specializes in architecture while the other is more of a demolition type entity
Posted on 10/25/25 at 6:35 am to hawgfaninc
That is beautiful architecture.

Make it through Armageddon and after the dust settles, with AI, Robotics, etc. and Jesus in the Oval Office, you might hit the spiritual mother lode. Good luck.

Not something I want to limp away from anyway. Just turn me to dust in an instant and send me home.
