“A beautiful sight and story”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2012 NEW

Boldt Castle is a gorgeous place to spend an afternoon. The inside is slowly being renovated, but grandeur of the outside lets the imagination run and determine what it may have looked like in the time. More

“Old world castle in the new world.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2012

Build for his wife and never completed due to her death, Boldt Castle is well worth the trip on Hart Island in the St. Lawence River. One of the many Thousand Islands and one of the most visited. More

“Great on a nice day”

“This is a quaint spot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2012

The State of New York is doing a great job of restoring/finishing a great dream of a man who had too much money. I would pay to stay in this attraction if it became more than a money pit. More
