Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle is located in the 1000 Islands region of the St. Lawrence River.   At the turn of the century, the castle cost $2.5 million to construct and later over $10 million to restore. It was built by George Boldt as a testament of love for his wife, Louise. Never occupied, construction was halted the day she died in 1904. The castle is an opulent love story, even being built on Heart Island, which Boldt shaped into a heart by filling it with material he brought in by boat.
