Imposing stone castle on 5-acre island open for tours of the interior, formal gardens & grounds.
"On Heart Island, part of New York’s famed Thousand Islands is this extraordinary summer dream home. Construction on this six-story private home began in 1900 by hotel magnate George C. Boldt as a gift to his wife but was halted abruptly four years later when his beloved died. Boldt never returned to the premise, and the unfinished castle fell into disarray until the island was bought by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority in 1977 for a single dollar. Boldt Castle and its nearby yacht house have since been completed and can be visited during the warm months." [Time Out]
