Annunciation Monastery is a Benedictine monastery in Bismarck, North Dakota, USA associated with the University of Mary. The monastery's building was designed by noted modernist architect Marcel Breuer and constructed from 1959 to 1963.[1] The project prominently features a 100 feet (30 m) tall bell banner which is similar to the one constructed by Breuer at Saint John's Abbey, Collegeville.[1][2]
