Boldt Castle is actually one of
four important structures open to the public, including two smaller stone
"castles" and a gigantic, towered yacht house. About 14.5
million dollars have been spent on recent renovations. The main
Castle would have been one of the largest houses in America had it been
completed. The reason for abandonment of the project when almost
finished has been debated for nearly a century. The 320-page book,
"Boldt Castle: In Search of the Lost Story" (July, 2001)
provides startling new information about the popular mystery. |

I am the author of the book "Boldt
Castle - Heart Island" which opened to the public in 1918. Over
220,000 people visit this landmark attraction from mid-May to mid October
each year.If you would be interested in carrying my book for your patrons,
I'd be happy to hear from you. I like your site and am sure I will visit
it more. Thank you. Roger S. Lucas |

This castle straddles the Canada US border and is a large
castle built as a summer home on an island in the St Lawrence River.
It is made of stone, with the usual towers and turrest that most castles
display. The boat house, located on a separate island, is every bit
as spectacular. It is currently undergoing restoration and is
accessible by tour boats from Gananoque Ontario. I would also note
that my book on Castles in Ontario, to be titled "Castles and Their
Kings", will be released in May of 2001. |
