A view from the water

The Castle is in the background and in the foreground is The Alster Tower (play house) modelled after a defense tower on the Alster river flowing through Hamburg Germany.

The actual castle like an ancient landmark of norhern Europe is modeled after buildings of the 16th century, when newly revived classical details were applied to the towered, medieval forms, combining traditional elements with modern features such as large, plater glass windows and extensive verandas.

From 1904 to 1977, Boldt Castle continued to deteriorate to a state of disrepair.  The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority assumed ownership in 1977 and immediately began a rehabilitation program.  The Castle and its romantic story typify an era long past; adn the Bridge Authority, through the use of all net revenues from this operation, will preserve it and other structures for the enjoyment of future generations.
