films | Leedskalnin Edward – The Coral Castle

Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia. Following a heartbreak, he emigrated to the United States. In memory of his lost love, he spent 28 years building a castle in a deserted area. Disturbed by the construction of a neighboring house, he moved 16 km away. For three years, working at night, he dismantled and then rebuilt his monument. In 1951, he hung a sign on his door reading, “Gone to the hospital.” He died three days later.
