Masterpiece Gardens, located on Lake Pierce, seeks to provide a Christ-centered conference and retreat center, designed around a
camp environment where all guests can experience God in a setting surrounded by God's own creation preserved in a natural setting. Within one hour drive from Disney and Sea World, the Gardens feature towering cypress estimated to be almost 4,000 years old!
Our History
 The Great Masterpiece attraction was created around
Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. In 1929, August Wagner Company of Berlin created a
300,000-piece mosaic of da Vinci's artwork. The
artwork consists of 10 panels each weighing over 500 pounds. The mosaic
was flown from Germany
to New York and eventually assembled
in Lake Wales, Florida. The original owners sold the mosaic which now adorns the Gustafson Fine Arts Center at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina.
The
75-acre Christian retreat center is located on the former Masterpiece Gardens tourist attraction,
which closed in 1978. In 1985, Peninsular Florida District Council of
the Assemblies of God completed a 450-bed dormitory, gymnasium and
cafeteria as well as a 65,000-gallon swimming pool on the lush grounds
of Lake Pierce. Masterpiece Gardens
has been committed to providing organizations with a safe, clean and
exciting environment to hold conferences, retreats and camps. Our goal
is to continue to build a tradition of excellence while developing new amenities for guests. |
