Boldt Castle - Six-story replica of a Rhineland castle of George Boldt. The grandest of all Gilded Age mansions, and the setting of a tragic love story. George Boldt, hotel magnate and owner of New York City's Waldorf-Astoria, began construction of the castle as gift for his beloved wife. When she suddenly passed away he terminated all construction. The abandoned structure sat there exposed to the elements until the island was purchased by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority. They have finished it and opened it to tourists.
