I just saw a video from the estate auction held there in 1986 and that was a spectacle of items that would bring a hefty sum today. So many vehicles going all the way back to the first decade of the 1900s and antiques going back even further. If only local historians and philanthropists had recognized the value in keeping the house maintained and the fabulous collection of antiques original to the house together, that estate could have been a premier time capsule of early American history.

No way do I believe that guy lived in that house for 8 years. That house was completely trashed by or before the mid 70’s and he is not that old.

The castle is beautiful and getting more so every day. I don't knowwho these people are, but isn't this breaking and entering, considering they climbed In a window on the first floor?

I’ve always been intrigued by this home and curious what the inside looked like! Thank you for this video❤ how stinkin cool!!!

Bit silly taking a baby in

last i heard the county was doing something about this place but thats been a while ago

So much worse in 2022!

This one is my all time favorite ❤

To be fair to the owner, I read an article that the owner was fleeced out $500 thousand by a former maintenance worker. Kind of hard to restore something when the person who's supposed to help steals the money for it.

@ThomasLaurance If ur the one that taped the video great job I also did a Tour inside the castle but it seems like it's been more than 5 years ago It was back in the 1980,s when me & Sister in Law did the tour I also have pics of inside of castle we all need to get together & save the castle to make it into a bed & Breakfast that would be nice . Just saying I grew up around the area of castle & it's amazing to have the castle in the area but with Wyco wanting to sell it for 10 millions there's no way in hell nobody is going to by it for that price . Wyco needs to get a grip & Fix it up & save the castle & do nice things out of it for the ppl that wants to save the castle .Just saying

Why was there rubble all over the floor? And giving tours despite that

Now 2023 and the house is going to a "tax sale," whatever that means, because he hasn't paid or maintained the place. I hope it doesn't get torn down. I just found out about it!

This may be the last time we ever see it like this

I was trying to enjoy this video I was even putting up with a bogus memory lane narration. The false narrative of why window glass is wavy is not because it happened as it aged. What pushed me over the edge and I had to finally stop the video was saying this was the first house in America to have indoor plumbing in a bathroom. Absolutely false. Even the White House had indoor plumbing and toilets by 1833.

He looks like such a nonce with that hat on. A real cowboy would have had that place fixed up by now.

This is a national treasure, I hope 🤞 it will return to it’s original grandeur. Thank you for letting me see it . GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY

That's an old mudflood building for sure

The Dumb shit that owns this place. Needs to sell it to somebody that can restore it because he will never

This video is a treasure for us. My mom grew up there. Eva Marie Perkins. It’s so sad to think it will be lost soon if nothing changes.

Disappointing. Way too much footage of people and not enough of the house.

It's nice to see the inside of this place. All I've ever seen is drone footage at window level. I've been hearing for the past 20 years that Carl is going to restore it, etc and even in this video he is talking about turning a room into a bedroom suite upstairs. Sadly I don't think this will ever happen. I'm sure there are people who would love to buy this and do a proper restore that it deserves. The Vaile Mansion has been doing tours for decades, and I think even now they are allowing paranormal investigations. Even if Sauer Castle is not haunted, it definitely has had a reputation for it as long as I have heard about the place. I have stayed overnights at quite a few places like this where you can stay the night, do investigations or whatever. Lemp Mansion, Belvoir Winery, and Villisca Axe Murder House come to mind. If you don't stay for the paranormal side of things, you are at least staying at a really cool location with tons of history. I don't know why this guy doesn't just sell it. Make it a nice bed and breakfast like Lemp Mansion. Charge for tours and overnights with a few rooms to sleep in. Charging a couple hundred bucks a pop for an overnight stay could also help with maintenance costs. This place could be a goldmine since nobody can get in to investigate.

That house needs probably. 3 million in work done to it. It needs top to bottom renovations. Imagine your great great grandfathers house gets given to you and the entire world expects you to pay for it and do it, like I agree. He should sell it to someone who will fix it and restore this masterpiece but he obviously doesn’t have the funds for a project of this sie

In your video, Carl talks as if he's so proud of this house and its history, but yet allows it fall into ruins more and more every day. I really hope that someone is able to finally buy it and it gets restored to its original beauty. Just so sad.

"I took the balconies off to have them rebuilt" bwa ha aha ahaaha sure ya did.

It’s condition is heart breaking. A decade later and I’m sure it’s much, much worse. Shameful.

We are a group of paranormal investigators out of St. Joseph, Missouri. We are located about 30 minutes north of Kansas City. We have been researching the history of the Sauer and Perkins family that lived in this house. We have read a lot of stories on the internet about the families and paranormal activity. We are currently trying to go through all of them. If anyone has information on the history of these families or paranormal experiences at the castle please email us at hauntedstjoemo@gmail.com

Is there anyway I can set up an appointment to get a tour

I believe it's haunted it has not had enough energy in it to manifest itself I'm willing to put my energy on the line

I do not live far from this house I would love to explore it so if anybody knows who owns it I just want to go look inside of it I have been drawn to this house for the last 20 years I cannot understand why but maybe if I was to go into it I would understand I am a paranormal investigator so if there's anyone out there that knows who owns it tell them to get a hold of me Cynthia M Calfas on Facebook I would really like to explore this house I think there is something that connects me to this house and I do not understand why maybe if I was to be able to go look at it myself in person maybe I would understand thank you for reading

This was always a place we would drive by and take photos (from the outside). It's a shame that it's gone to hell that bad. It really is a gorgeous property. My question is, how did the owner not know the caregiver was selling stuff out of the house? Was he not stopping by and checking in on him and/or the house? Also, to the owner, it's said that the first owner hung himself, his wife later committed suicide and one of their children drowned in a pool on the property. Any truth to any of that?

Too bad it can't be fixed up just enough for paranormal Investigations. The owner could make some serious money from that. Most places are charging $400.00-500.00 a night!

So as of a month ago it was up for auction? Anyone have updates on it?

So is he done fixing everything & living in the castle yet??? Yeah, I didn't think so...

Nice to see inside this historic house. Only got to see it from the road growing up. Would be nice to see it restored.

Glass is not a liquid.

I See that it is back up for auction- is there any information on it?? I actually worked on a restoration of a home 1815 loved the valence windows. I have had a love for historical preservation and certainly interested. thanks for the video as i wanted to see inside. Could you message me any info regarding the building, or sale so i can follow along? mmyers7408@yahoo.com

The tour guide is actually correct, but what he meant to say was that, glass is an "amorphic solid." Glass in a window sill will eventually become thicker at the bottom of the pane because of years of gravity naturally slumping the glass. You could probably pull empirical data with the use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the top, center, and bottom of the glazing. I'm thinking that this house isn't being repaired or restored, because the owner probably feels violated every time he visits the site. He made mention of a care taker that sold off all the possessions in the home... and, then the constant discoveries of things that are vandalized, or missing out of the house. The discovery of pissant pilferings of personal things that have sentimental value, it just takes a toll on the motivation of moving forward with 'fixing.' I'm sure that there are other factors, but the culmination of theft and vandalism are enough to halt progress on a lot of projects. If I were the home owner, and I desired the complete preservation of the home, but had no intentions of ever living there, or selling the property, (Emphasis on selling... neighboring low income rental properties are a real drag on real estate values) I would probably consider donating the entire property to a place like KCAI, KU, UMKC... Universities are more likely to utilize the space as an auxiliary campus, and the preservation of the structure could be realized. The structure would be preserved and could be utilized like a library, or campus coffee shop, with offices for security, faculty, faculty in residence... Thank you to the baby toting videographer! I've always wanted to tour that incredible home. Now, I'm content.

so whats the deal with this? has it been abandoned since 1985 ?

It's so sad that the renovation was not completed. Even more damage done to the house by taking off the upstairs bedroom balcony.😪

I'm a bit late to comment lol, but this castle is also an ancestral building for me. Anton Sauer is my 5th great grandfather, and my current grandma still carries the Sauer name. It would honestly be a dream to visit this castle one day but it would be a bit of a mission to get there considering I live in another country. A shame the owner isn't doing anything to repair it.

So, it's 2020. Has anything been done to this place? I remember my dad driving us by what we called "Egor's House" as a kid and getting super scared! As an adult I would love to see this place fixed up. However, it doesn't sound like that will happen. So sad.

Drove past this yesterday... still falling apart and looks like nothing has been done.

I lived directly across the street from the Sauer Castle at 936 Shawnee Rd from 1985 to 2002. Me or any of my family members never saw any ghost, no hauntings in or around the Sauer Castle, that was and is a myth (only stories). Mr Berry lived in the Castle for many years and he said he had never experienced seeing any ghost. All he had experienced was vandalizers; that would continually damage the property. When Mr Berry died, his brother had an auction and sold all he could from the castle. Individuals came from all over the US and other countries. Individuals came wanting to use our phone to call their backers. People offered to pay to park on our lawn and my husband wouldn't have it. lol The lady we purchased our home from was in her late 70's, she told us of growing up across the street from the Castle. She said she remembered when it was still owned by some of the original Sauer family; she told us of experiencing large parties on the Castle lawn. She also said they would have opera singers perform from one of the second floor balconies for entertainment.

I am not sure why I'm so deeply intrigued by this castle.

So pathetic he's not restoring this beautiful piece of history

Is there any chance of your cousin letting people at least do paranormal investigations of the property?

not really crazy about this angle but we can do better

Love this at 3:44...it’s like the seam in Wizard of Oz where the sepia was spliced with the Technicolor! It goes from gray and “dingy” to a brilliant burst of color.
