This is a beautiful castle right in the heart of the St. Lawrence Seaway. a story of love and tragedy leaves this legacy for us to view.

We went off season - October. The fall colors were breathtaking all around the island and the surrounding area. Best part was, we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves and had lots of personal guidance from staff. This is a great way to spend a day, and dream about what it must have been like to be part of this family. Although parts of some of the buildings are not completely restored, it is interesting to see the work being done to return it to its splendor. I am glad that we took the boat ride to the castle and toured all the island. Lovely day!

We loved exploring the island. The castle is absolutely beautiful. Loved walking through the newly renovated rooms and hearing all about its history. It is a great place to spend an afternoon.

We reached the castle by ferry and it was a wonderful trip over to the island. The castle itself is awesome with plenty of see at every turn. The gardens were beautiful and it was a real pleasure to wander around taking in the sights. Certainly worth a visit.

George Boldt, though an unhappy man, gave to all the lovers of the world a treasure which reminds one of the Taj Mahal in India. The castle he has built on Heart Island for his wife, a castle she never got to se because of her untimely death is fit for a King. The Island itself is set in picturesque surroundings on the Lawrence River, one of the famous Thousand Islands, the source of the famous salad Dressing. It immediately reminds you of the lakes of Windermere in UK or of Zurich.Travelling from Kingston to Heart Island is itself an adventure and a very touristy thing if you are interested in seeing the homes of every famous person born in the Americas. You have Kings, Presidents, Movie Stars, Big Industrialists, Philantrophists.... you name it and you can find their homes here. There is also a tiny piece of land, an island which has a tiny 10 foot bridge which connects not only the two parts of the tiny island but also is the Border between Canada and the US. But aside from the tourist element, it is also a beautiful one hour sail through calm waters, beautiful surroundings and sets the tone to the beautifully landscaped Boldt Island.The Castle itself is done up well, it has been recently restored, and a delight to roam around. Every nook and corner reveals a new thing to admire from the ornate gat festooned with the Deers to the Water tower to the main castle itself.Across the castle is the Boat house of George Boldt and it is a delight to see the different types of crafts stored there in immaculate and ship shape condition.A trip to Bold Castle is a day well spent, and I took back memories which will last a life time.

Interesting "castle" and boathouse... Very nice gardens...Each room is patterned after a "room in a European castle"... So no harmony... But interesting, nevertheless... Especially combined with a St Lawrence River boat cruise

Sorry, but I didn't expect there to be a castle here! It's a gorgeous testament to love and architecture. The boat ride was amazing. Don't miss it!

We came down to Boldt Castle during Thanksgiving weekend. What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed touring the "castle" and grounds! The restoration work completed thus far is most impressive! Learning about the history of the place is an added bonus. We are looking forward to a return visit in a few years to see what new rooms have been completed.

I absolutely love Boldt Castle and have probably gone a dozen times over the years. The Castle and the Island are absolutely gorgeous, great photos.
