Zamak Bolt koji se nalazi na malom Ostrvu srca usred arhipelaga Hiljadu ostrva u državi Njujork, je američka bajkovita verzija zamka, koja predstavlja neobičnu slagalicu srednjovekovnih i viktorijanskih stilova.

Bolt je spomenik ljubavi koja se tragično završila.

Vlasnik čuvenog njujorškog Valdorf Astorija hotela, Džordž Bolt je odlučio da podigne spomenik ljubavi prema svojoj supruzi Luiz. Par je kupio ostrvo, a Džordž je odlučio da svojoj lepšoj polovini za rođendan, koji je bio na Dan zaljubljenih, tu sagradi zamak. Čak je uspeo da preoblikuje ostrvo kako bi izgledalo kao srce.

Boldt Castle is a major landmark and tourist attraction built in 1900-1904 in the Thousand Islands region of the U.S. state of New York. Open to guests seasonally between mid May and mid October, it is located on Heart Island in the Saint Lawrence River. Heart Island is part of the Town of Alexandria, in Jefferson County. Originally a private mansion built by American millionaire George Boldt, it is today maintained by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority as a tourist attraction. George Boldt, general manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and manager of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, and his family enjoyed an earlier frame cottage on Hart Island (the island’s original name) for several summers, which they greatly expanded. In 1900, George Boldt launched an ambitious construction campaign to build a huge masonry structure, one of the largest private homes in the United States. He engaged the architectural firm G. W. & W. D. Hewitt and hundreds of workers for a six-story “castle” as a present to his wife. In addition, four other masonry structures on the island are architecturally notable. The construction of Boldt Castle ceased abruptly in early 1904 after the death of Boldt’s wife, Louise Kehrer Boldt. Boldt never returned to Heart Island, leaving this structure as a monument of his love. For 73 years, the castle and other stone structures were left exposed to the harsh winter weather and occasional vandals. The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority acquired Heart Island and the nearby yacht house in 1977, for one dollar, under the agreement that all revenues obtained from the castle operation would be applied towards restoration. #arch #archie #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #old #history #oldhouse #oldhouselove #secondempire #victorian #victorianhouse #wow #amazing #goodmorning #thisoldhouse #antique #vintage #home #house #porch #ornate #grand #mansion #mansions #ny #newyork #boldtcastle

Godine 1900. počeo je da se gradi šestospratni zamak, a godinu pre nego što je sagrađen, Luiz je umrla u svojoj 41. godini. Džordž je tada obustavio gradnju i nikada se nije vratio na ovo ostrvo.

Prodao je zamak, a 1977. godine je restauriran i danas je otvoren za javnost.

Zbog romantike ovog mesta mladi parovi dolaze u ovaj zamak kako bi se venčali.
