Event Details

Join us at the Coral Catle for a tour of one the world's most unusual self-built monuments to lost love.

When Ed Leedskalnin was jilted by his sweet sixteen the day before their wedding, it was to send him on a mysterious and marvelous path of creation.

After his heartbreak, Ed moved from his native Latvia to Florida, where he began working on his home and great monument to lost love. The 5-foot, 100-pound  Leedskalnin created his castle from blocks of fossilized coral over 25 feet tall and weighing over 30 tons--taller than the stones of Stonehenge and heavier than the heaviest stone in the great pyramid of Giza.
