Coral Castle is made up of over 1,000 tons of stone unearthed, transported and carved by lovelorn Latvian Edward Leedskalnin in the 1920s and the following two decades. Leedskalnin supposedly built the castle, which includes tables, rocking chairs, huge carvings, a throne and even a bathtub, for an unrequited love. He would never really reveal his methods for creating his own Stonehenge, but claimed to have used some "secrets of the pyramids." He lived in the castle and conducted tours until his death in 1951.
