Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle is located in the Thousand Islands Archipelago in upstate New York and is an important part of the history and tourist attraction of the region. The castle began to be built by George Boldt in 1900 for his wife Louise. But after her sudden death in 1904, construction was frozen and for more than 70 years the castle was exposed to vandals and harsh natural conditions. But in 1977 it was bought out and began to be restored. Today, the building has been partially restored; they tried to preserve the style of the building in the spirit of the beginning of the 20th century. The granite walls are decorated with decorative details, and the roof is also clad. On the ground floor there is a museum dedicated to the owners of the castle and the history of the entire region. Visitors can explore the castle's 120 rooms, with magnificent views of the surrounding gardens. You can also walk along the cobbled paths that lead to other buildings. On the territory of the castle are located the Power House, which supplies the entire region with electricity, the Alster Tower, the tallest building in the region and a gazebo.
