Summary
Location is Cambria Castle, Williamsville, New York, United States of America
Introductory intertitle reads: To few of us is given the chance of making our dreams come true, but Mr Ignatz Oechner of New York, who dreamed of a lovely castle, has built this with his own hands
C/U of Mr Ignatz who stands in front of a pile of gravel and speaks to camera - no integral sound on this version Panning shot of the grand castle he has built which stands in large grounds featuring a lake and a fountain It is a kind of folly with beautiful gardens and unusual features such as large glass globes on pedestals - C/U of one of the globes which resembles a fortune teller's crystal ball
Fourteen years ago, Mr Oechner found this island and started his great task of showing what a man can do with grit and determination - and a beautiful home he has made of it Moving shot of the castle - presumably taken from a boat on the lake Boat passes by some ducks then under an archway
It is all rather wonderful!
Note: alternative spelling of the owner's name is Ignatz Oechsner
