George 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 was 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 subjected to vandalism and harsh natural conditions. But in 1977 it was purchased and began to be restored.

Today the building is partially restored, the style of the building tried to preserve in the spirit of the early XX century. Granite walls are decorated with decorative details, and the roof is also lined.

On the ground floor there is a museum dedicated to the owners of the castle and the history of the whole region. Visitors can view the castle’s 120 rooms, with magnificent window views of the surrounding gardens. You can also walk the paved paths leading to other buildings. On the territory of the castle there are Power House, which feeds the entire region with electricity, Alster Tower, the tallest building in the region and a gazebo.
