The tragic story of BOLDT CASTLE will break your heart. When the beloved wife of the wealthy George C. Boldt died, he stopped construction and never set foot on the island again. The building has 120 rooms, tunnels, Italian gardens and a drawbridge. The castle is on the appropriately named Heart Island.

Enjoy the unique history of the “hunting lodge” of Commodore Frederick Gilbert Bourne – SINGER CASTLE. There are four floors filled with furnishings and artifacts original to the castle and many secret passages.
