Ed Leedskaini started building the castle in 1923, after a jilted by his fiancee in Latvia just days before their wedding. And he dedicated his life to finish it (the monument).
Unfortunately, he died before his love menumen completed. However, after he died, 1951, construction was continued construction.
Not this romantic tale that makes the experts puzzled, but they were surprised and amazed that Leedskalnin, build their own fort katang it. More confused anymore, because he was actually only educated up to grade four, but oddly enough he was able to construct an elaborate fort that, something that really can only be done by building experts. It is truly incomprehensible. Even an engineer calls, even Albert Einstein was not necessarily able to understand this miracle.
