USA 🇺🇸, Boldt Castle

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a castle was built on the island of Hart Island, with its outlines slightly resembling the shape of a heart, of the Thousand Islands archipelago in the delta of the St. Lawrence River, where the border between the south of the Canadian province of Ontario and the north of the US state of New York runs.

George Boldt, a well-known architect and owner of a chain of fashionable hotels in the USA, decided to make his beloved wife a gift for Valentine's Day. He designed it himself and construction began.

A 6-storey building in the style of ancient German castles was erected. It was supposed to have 127 rooms, 365 windows, a swimming pool, an elevator, and running water. They also built a children's play tower, laid tunnels, and laid out a park.

The castle has found a new life. It was restored, everything was put in order. Now it is not only a local attraction. People come here from everywhere to admire this creation of human hands.
