AstnPwrvch was actually right about everything except the castle being in the UK. The song is about Coral Castle, a momument built is FL, USA by a Latvia born stone mason for his lost love. The sixteen year old bride (Agnes Scoff) left her fiance the day before her wedding (in persuit of another man) to Edward Leedskalnin age 26. It is very sad really, Edward deemed "Sweet Sixteen" his one true love, and built the entire monument for her, unfortuantely after the fact that she left him. =( It always makes me wonder how she must have felt after doing so? In her mind did she make the right choice and was she happy? Or did she spend the rest of her life regreting such a hastey decesion?
For more info on Coral Castle you can visit their website:
actually the girl was named Hermine Lusis [lusis - lynx [latvian]], that Agnes Scuffs thing is fictional by Edward to protect her.
and she left him right by altar in the moment when she had to say "I do"

I have always wondered about that too Queen, and in general have always wondered how someone can come to a snap judgment like that at least not regret it on some level. It is pretty clear that Ed really loved her. I guess the real question is did she really love him in return, or was she even really capable of loving someone as much as Ed obviously did?

Of course, then there is the whole alternate theory that Ed's "Sweet Sixteen" was a clever cover story which allowed him to leave the blueprints for how he constructed the castle through the natural magnetic properties of the universe. Perhaps sweet sixteen = Mandelbrot set = Solomon's knot = Coral Castle.
All in all, I prefer the romantic story. It is more poetic
