The Tragic Love Story Behind the Boldt Castle

It's time for another (delayed) on location episode. The Boldts were not only head over heels in love but, they were also  self-made millionaires in the late 1800s. George decided the best way to forever symbolize their mutual love, adoration and sacrifices would be to surprise his sweetheart with a custom designed castle for Valentine's Day. His only rule for his architects? Spare no expense! But Louise Boldt wouldn't live to see the castle's completion and George Boldt would never again return to the island. Find out why in today's episode.

Most tours of the castle have poor production quality but this one is really great if you want a tour of the place
