1000 Islands and the St. Lawrence Seaway

Here Ontario and the United States meet… their cultures blending in the waters of the mighty St. Lawrence and Great Lake Ontario.

See the famous Boldt Castle - A true love story

Millionaire George C. Boldt, proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full-sized, Rhineland-style castle on Heart Island for his beloved wife Louise. Construction began in 1900 on a six story, 120-room castle, complete with tunnels, a powerhouse, Italian gardens and a children’s playhouse.

The Boldt family spent four glorious summers on the island during construction. Then in 1904 tragedy struck. Upon the unexpected death of his wife, George halted all construction. He never returned to the castle, which remained vacant for 73 years.
