Castle in an Island

Castle in an Island

This ones has a long history, but due to my bad memory I will make it short :D

This island was the property of the owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.

He bought it for his wife.

Well, first the island, was cut and refill to make it have the shape of a heart.

Then he started building the castle, as a gift to his wife, a proof of their love.
He brought the best artisans, constructors , workers from all over the world, to build the most magnificent building ever.

But then, his wife died, and he abandoned the project.

Years later the regional council bought the island back, finished the castle, and turn it into a museum.

We only saw it form outside, since being tourist in Canada, we were not allowed to set feet in the island, that belongs to US.

Its quite impressive, but the history has a sad ending :(
