Boldt Castle, USA
From series “Famous unfinished buildings ”Year: 1904.
The Thousand Islands Archipelago is located on the border of Canada and the United States. It is a world-famous natural landmark. Boldt Castle is located right on the bank of the Saint Lawrence River on one of its islets. It was built in the early 20th century. American architect George Boldt is the author of the project of a beautiful castle. It remained unfinished. The American architect is known to many as the owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel chain.
The castle was built according to his project. It is the only structure on the territory of the miniature Heart Island. A lush garden surrounds the castle. The island resembles a heart from a height. It was privately owned by Boldt in the early 20th century. He wanted to build a small country house for his wife on it. But Boldt was so inspired by the idea of construction that he designed a huge six-story castle. About 300 workers were constantly working on the construction of the castle. There are 127 rooms and 365 windows in the luxurious palace.
