Boldt Castle is one of the 1000 Islands premier attractions and vacation spots in Alexandria Bay, NY. In 1900, millionaire Geroge C. Boldt broke ground on this marvelous structure on Heart Island as a tribute to his beloved wife, Louise Boldt. Sadly, she passed away shortly before construction was complete halting construction for over seventy years. The property was acquired in 1977 by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority and seven million dollars later, the structure was restored and has been dazzling visitors ever since.
