France’s Forgotten Castle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Nestled in the countryside sits an abandoned castle that was once the hub of French aristocratic parties. The Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers was first built in the 14th century as a stronghold for French nobles. In the Middle Ages, it was conquered by the British and devastated during the French Revolution, only to be eventually restored by relative of Napoleon III. Unfortunately, a violent fire in 1932 once again left the Château in ruins. While its fate remains uncertain, many efforts are being made to return the historic castle to its former glory.

Craigslist be like "Castle for sale, minor repairs"
"a fixer-upper." I think this one has a contribution organization, and should start soon, if not, already, work on it.
If it sees restoration, I hope they keep most of the vegetation, it actually looks really beautiful like that.
exactly what I was going to say
no
@@3musketerantidbd174 yes
Drones are really a game breaking technology in video making world,
not to say the various other ways of using it.
I WANT TO LIVE THERE OH MY GODDD
Castles are very expensive and extremely annoying to maintain because of the old architecture
yes.
not related at all to the comment but u have the same name as me heheeheheheh
This is one of the most beautiful castles I've seen. I would to see it restored.
*sharpening sword
I need to go save sleeping beauty!
It probably looks better as a ruin.
Payhole Everdouche I can confirm that it does not.
It’s kind of ironic how it was burned down yet it’s surrounded by water.
This castle is so charming
kroooassant Thanks for everything you've shared with here 😊 I'd look it up!
Well, a castle half in ruins and covered with vegetation also has an appeal... I certainly like ti more this way than if they restore it to a brand new look.
France is a great place

Not if you're poor and African.
Payhole Everdouche isn’t that the same in every country tho? Plus why African, that’s just racist
@@ThePayola123 The French social system is the third best system in the world. If you are Poor you have access to big social help. In addition, University Will be free for you, you can have a bourse just if you have your baccalauréat, no mater if you have your baccalaureate at 18/20 or 10/20. You have it, you have a bourse if you are Poor. You have access to medecine and it Will cost nothing to you. Before speak, you should see that even in Europe, French Poor lives better than the rest european poor... Of course, I don't speak about USA lol.
I hope restoration efforts are successful. This architectural masterpiece is too beautiful to let it continue to decay, and crumble into ruins.
It’s so beautiful!! I would go if I were to stay in France for at least a week because it’s too far from Paris for me to visit if it was over the weekend.
I hope they don't restore it. It's beautiful the way it is.
They should totally restore this....
You're an idiot
They need to keep it preserved. They could keep it like that but make the walls sturdier.
Prince Mononoke you must be a mother nature type of person instead of the history type
jessithejess who would pay money to keep a building from falling but not rebuild it lmao nobody will spend money to leave it in ruins just so it can stay that way for ever lmao
I love abandoned places
Qui içi est de France ou Quèbec?! 🇫🇷 🇨🇦
It reminds me of Valyria from the game of thrones lol
It should be restored up.

That’s so cool
❤ French Renaissance 🇫🇷🏰
THERES SOMEBODY LIVING IN THAT TOWER AT 0:55 I ASSURE YOU
hmm if i would life near that i would try digging and finding old tresures near that castle
Shrek is the one responsible for destroying the castle, not the fire, the British, nor nature.
And he thus replied, "What are you doing in my swamp?!"
How much has been raised for restoration?
It's like narnia
I'm pretty sure I played this level in Uncharted 3!
i wanna walk inside there so badly
Any updates?
this is a cool story, this is what i want to see instead of identity politics
Hoiiii I love your videos

Fishy Fisch This is the FFA map for widow
A fire destroyed a castle dam times havnt changed much smh
I feel this is the old castle you go to in the beginning of Uncharted 3. And this place was host to a house fire?? Does anybody else agree with me, or am I just crazy???
Yeah, I had the exact same thought occur to me.
Not gonna lie it's pretty small... I have friends with houses bigger than that, assuming those trees aren't like redwoods.
Ughh i want to go here
The Motte Baussay was taken twice by the English in the Middle Ages and devastated during the French Revolution.
Lol that line came straight from Wikipedia
Deseo decreto y atraigo un Castillo como este para mi vida asi es amen amen amen
Castles with moats must have had wicked mosquito populations....
LagiNaLangAko23 Oh yes they're pretty much everywhere, but they're smaller in colder areas.
As far as I know the only country without mosquitoes is Iceland.
Is that chateau Guillard?
If Macron does not restore it, why should we???
They need to act quick. Those trees can do so damage.
Forgotten? Not forgotten. Demons live their.
いいね
it looks like the castle in uncharted 3
You're gonna need to drain that feckin swamp first
i hope they dont cut the trees ;_; leave mother nature alone pls
If nothing is done, the trees will make the walls crumble
