At the turn-of-the-century, George C. Boldt, millionaire proprietor of the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full size rhineland castle in Alexandria Bay, on picturesque Heart Island. The grandiose structure was to be a display of his love for his wife, Louise. Beginning in 1900, the Boldt family spent summers in the 1000 Islands at the Boldt Families Wellesley House near Mr. Boldt’s Wellesley Island Farms while 300 workers including stonemasons, carpenters, and artists fashioned the six story, 120 room castle, complete with tunnels, a powerhouse, Italian gardens, a drawbridge, alster tower (children’s playhouse) and a dove cote. Not a single detail or expense was spared. In January 1904, tragedy struck. Boldt telegraphed the island and commanded the workers to immediately “stop all construction.” Louise had died suddenly. A broken hearted Boldt could not imagine his dream castle without his beloved. Boldt never returned to the island, leaving behind the structure as a monument of his love. For 73 years, the castle and various stone structures were left to the mercy of the wind, rain, ice, snow and vandals. When the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority acquired the property in 1977, it was decided that through the use of all net revenues from the castle operation it would be preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. Since 1977, several million dollars have been applied to rehabilitating, restoring and improving the Heart Island structures.

XILITLA es un pueblo cafetalero enclavado en la Sierra Madre Oriental. La palabra Xilitla proviene del nahuatl y significa "lugar de caracoles". Entre los atractivos más interesantes de Xilitla se encuentra el jardín surrealista y el Museo de Edward James. Foto Edward James: http://discovermexicoadventures.web.officelive.com/Xilitla.aspx Edward James (1907-1984), escocés y heredero de una gran fortuna, cursó estudios en la Universidad de Oxford. A los 24 años obtuvo un empleo como agregado honorario de la embajada británica en Roma, renunciando a los pocos meses para dedicarse al patrocinio de artistas. El surrealismo lo sedujo y financió "Minotauro" -la revista del movimiento surrealista- convirtiéndose, además, en mecenas de pintores surrealistas como el belga Rene Magritte y del español Salvador Dalí. En 1939 estalló la segunda guerra mundial y James llegó a Los Angeles atraído por un movimiento de meditación hinduismo. En 1944 viajó a Cuernavaca, donde conoció a la pintora surrealista Leonora Carrington y a Plutarco Gastelum. James y Plutarco llegaron a Xilitla en 1945 buscando orquídeas silvestres. De 1947 a 1957, el inglés utilizó la finca como plantación de orquídeas. En 1962 una helada en la región destruyó sus plantaciones y James inició la construcción de un complejo arquitectónico y surrealista de 36 esculturas - Las Pozas- en medio de la vegetación exhuberante de Xilitla (San Luis Potosí) contratando a trabajadores locales y con Gastelum como maestro de obra. Las Pozas reúne influencias de diversas corrientes artísticas y, en su mayoría, este complejo no cumplen un fin utilitario sino estético, integrando cascadas y piscinas naturales (pozas). Más tarde, lo convirtió en un zoológico personal. Edward James falleció en 1984 en San Remo, Italia. A su muerte, la familia Gastelum heredó el conjunto. La fundación Edward James y el Colegio West Dean retiraron el apoyo que dieron durante mucho tiempo a la construcción de Las Pozas. Las estructuras permanecieron sin mantenimiento, causando el deterioro de muchas de ellas. Una parte de las construcciones ha sido vendida y en la actualidad es difícil acceder a ellas. Xilitla se encuentra a siete horas en coche de la Ciudad de México.
