It comprises numerous large stones, each weighing several tons, sculpted into a variety of shapes, including slab walls, tables, chairs, a crescent moon, a water fountain and a sundial.

Even though Coral Castle is noted for the claim that it was built single-handedly by Leedskalnin using reverse magnetism or supernatural abilities,[2][3] photographs and eyewitness accounts evidence that he used pulleys and other simple tools.

[4] It is currently a privately operated tourist attraction, located in unincorporated territory of Miami-Dade County, Florida.

[5] Coral Castle's own promotional material says Edward Leedskalnin was 26 years old when he was suddenly rejected by his 16-year-old fiancée Agnes Skuvst in Latvia, just one day before the wedding.

[contradictory] A few teenagers claimed to have witnessed his work, reporting that he had caused the blocks of coral to move like hydrogen balloons.

Its second and final location has the mailing address of 28655 South Dixie Highway, Miami, FL 33033, which now appears within the census-generated overlay of Leisure City but which is actually unincorporated county territory.

He reportedly chose relocation as a means to protect his privacy when discussion about developing land in the original area of the castle started.

At Florida City, Leedskalnin charged visitors ten cents apiece to tour the castle grounds.

He had made his income from conducting tours, selling pamphlets about various subjects (including magnetic currents) and the sale of a portion of his 10-acre (4.0 ha) property for the construction of U.S. Route 1.

[9] As he had no will, the castle became the property of his closest living relative in the United States, a nephew from Michigan named Harry.

However, this story differs from the obituary of a former Coral Castle owner, Julius Levin, a retired jeweler from Chicago, Illinois.

Leedskalnin made this sign and placed it in front of his earlier location at Florida City when he was tired of giving a "free show" to visitors who were careless and trampled his shrubbery.

A 9-short-ton (8.2 t) revolving 8-foot tall gate is a famous structure of the castle, documented on the television programs In Search of...[6] and That's Incredible!.

The mystery of the gate's perfectly balanced axis and the ease with which it revolved lasted for decades until it stopped working in 1986.

Books, magazines, and television programs speculate about how Leedskalnin was able to construct the structure and move stones that weigh many tons.

[citation needed] Orval Irwin reportedly witnessed him quarry his stones and erect parts of his wall, and illustrated the methods in his book Mr. Can't Is Dead.
