Boldt Castle Powerhouse: A Gothic Revival Marvel by the Lake

Nestled at the edge of Heart Island in the St. Lawrence River near Alexandria Bay, this stone powerhouse stands as an architectural gem amidst nature's splendor. Its steeply pitched roofs adorned with conical turrets and battlements are reminiscent of medieval castles. An arched bridge connects to the mainland over calm waters reflecting the partly cloudy sky above. This structure is not only historically significant but also serves today as part of the romanticized Boldt Castle estate, which was once envisioned for opulence yet remains incomplete due to its owner’s untimely death.
