Let's tour New York State! Boldt Castle, the Thousand Islands

Wonderful picture! Thank you Suzy!! And a wonderful (but sad) story!!

Wow, a magnificent castle and what a nice love story! Thank you Suzy for the link, it tells the rest of the story:)

Healer and snooker-can you even imagine someone so in love that they would build this? I am sure there would be a full complement of staff, snooker!
Robbie-I agree with you, and PG is again, in his dream world.

What a statement of love. I love this place, it suits me just fine.
Great photo.

Well you can have it mate, too spooky looking for me!! If Jenny built that for me?..........I'd be back with mom and dad in a flash!!! Very nice picture though PKH, thanks.

Just another of my summer places in the upstate.

If this was to be her dream home, I hope there was to be a large staff to clean this little cottage.

Anitas-Thank you for the added information. It sounds as if you know the castle fairly well.
Oddio-Hopefully, the castle will continue to stay in good hands.
Thank you warbler, celeste and pkin!

Amazing and interesting thanks Punkin

Wow! Beautiful

This is a beautiful set, Pumpkin and your words are a treat, too. Thank you

Sad it would suffer like that for so long, but it's good there are real caretakers now.
Thanks for sharing this great photo and the history.

The castle sat empty and decaying for many years. Vandals did much damage to the interior. In the early 70's, you could visit, but were restricted to one room with everything else roped off. Now after years of repair, renovating ( still ongoing) visitors can tour many of the re-opened rooms. It is truly beautiful.

It is an amazing love story, for sure! The castle is open for tours, and is a big attraction for boats along the St. Lawrence River. I recall going there when I was very young. It is an amazing place to view-if just from the water.
Lyndee, you are so right. If you have dreams, go after them now.

What a Grand Castle, and a sad story, would love to see inside, Thank you Suzy.

I Love it when someone tells me what I'm looking at.... thank you for the story! Puzzle was fun to do also!

What a sad story. I'll never forget...my parents went to the Thousand Islands and brought me back a little cedar trinket box with Thousand Islands and map on the front. I treasured that little box for a long, long time!

Well that is so sad.Is it sitting there vacant or is it used now?

Another reason why we should not delay fulfilling our dreams. Thanks pumpkin.

wow .... what a story.....and then to sit for all that time is unbelievable..... what a waste....great pic pumpkin and what a story.....thanks for sharing it with us.. :)
