Coral Castle

There’s a long story that goes with the castle about the unrequited love of Agnes Scuffs(!) and building this ‘castle’ in the dark of the night to protect construction secrets.  Basically, I liked the idea that a five-foot guy built this whole thing by himself with no money except for the 10 or 25 cent entry fees. He used only tools he made himself from a car scrap yard. The castle has been a subject of TV shows, Believe It or Not, and is listed in the National Register of Historical Places.

There’s several astrological places like this sundial and the Polaris telescope. The Polaris telescope is just two holes that you look through so you can see the North Star (at night, of course).

I can understand why Agnes never married this guy. While they look cool, I don’t think I would like to sleep in these beds.

Ed Leedskalnin (the builder of all this) would take a bath in this tub. The place had no electricity, so the water would warm up from the sun and then he could take a warm bath in the afternoon.
