Swan Castle is one of the most beautiful castles of the world
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.

Mural Description The Lichtenstein Castle is located in Schloss, Germany Materials MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY We strive to help you choose the right material for your wall mural project. Our products are designed to work on ideally prepared surfaces, preferably smooth walls with a high-quality paint and primer. While we do offer materials compatible with varying wall surface types, some paints may inhibit adhesion of peel-and-stick products, and some wall textures may not provide enough surface area to stick; a combination of those two make it even trickier. There are endless combinations of wall paint and wall textures out there and we can’t test all of them. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering swatches of our materials to test adhesion prior to installation. If you believe your wall surface may be a problem, please consider our pasted products, UltraStik™ (pre-pasted) and ProStik™ (requires paste), for a more universally compatible installation or take the necessary steps to properly prepare your wall surface as described in detail below. Modern Paint Formulations: Some modern wall paints can make self-adhesive (peel and stick) murals more challenging to install. Washable, durable, low-VOC and No-VOC paints may contain additives which can inhibit proper mural adhesion. Proper cleaning and dry time of the wall surface with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%) MAY significantly improve the adhesion. However, we highly recommend preparing the surface in advance using a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. If applying to newly painted walls, wait 10-14 days before installation. Unpainted drywall, or walls with inferior paint applications, may be problematic and need attention before beginning your mural installation. Contact Us if you have questions. Wall Textures: Many walls have been treated with an added decorative texture like orange peel, knockdown, stipple, etc. For these wall surface textures, it is crucial that they are properly prepared and the right mural material is chosen for peel and stick materials. If possible, consider smoothing out your wall texture with a skim-coating of drywall compound before priming and painting; this will give the ideal wall surface with few imperfections. If skim-coating is not an option, sand any rough areas and eliminate as many high spots and ridges as possible, and consider applying a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. **We aim to address customer concerns such as these and provide suggestions for the best mural experience for our customers. Magic Murals cannot accept, refund or replace returned murals due to incompatible wall surfaces. Ultimately, it is the customer’s responsibility to install a mural according to its instructions and take the necessary steps to properly prepare the wall surface prior to installation.** COMPARE OUR MATERIALS Our materials feature a matte finish for extremely vibrant colors and reduced glare.
