North Miami Beach - Ancient Spanish Monastery of St Bernard De Clairvaux Cloisters

A 12th century Spanish church that was many years later turned into a granary and bought by newspaper baron William Hearst. He had the building dismantled, shipped it to the U.S. and tried to have it re-assembled there but could not get government approval. In 1954, the pieces found a home in Miami, where the building currently operates as an Episcopalian church.
