Description
Boldt Castle is situated on Heart Island, in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. The six story, 120 room mansion is a full size Rhineland castle, built by George Boldt as a wedding present for his beloved wife, Louise.
In 1904, tragedy struck, and Louise died from tuberculosis. Construction of the castle was halted immediately, never to resume. Broken hearted, Boldt never completed it, and he never returned to Heart Island.
