Because the story of this historic mansion is a story of betrayal. Discover the sad history of one of Poland’s most beautiful undisclosed landmarks. #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

      The original owners were not ordinary people, these people had knowledge that was well known throughout the world. This old world was destroyed with DEW most likely. Take a look at 13:21, what in the world is that?? Use of freee energy was one of the magical things about there people, that mace or whatever it is could be filled with mercury to direct the flow of energy to other parts of the building. They can't destroy everything that they build. Churches, synagogues and mosques another example. Notre Dam.
      History has been hidden and confiscated
      for profit anduse for evil purpose. Like the vatican is not a place build by standard people,
      ww1 & ww2 were the final chapter in their agenda for getting rid of all people who had some knowledge left.

    These videos are just in another universe with even the biggest channels!! The humble & respectful approach to document & record the history, the backstory to the places & things, the artistic quality of the photography & videography - it’s just incredible!!!! Each video is a delight! It feels almost like actually being there in person & I always learn something interesting!!
    KUDOS!
    This is pretty much the only Urbex channel I can stand to watch, if I do watch any videos on other channels I have to mute the volume & fast forward through a lot. Their juvenile approach to the entire project, the inappropriate music, the way they have to handle, poke, prod & move objects, the commotion between the explorers, their ignorance as to the history of the places & things, their disregard of dangerous situations like black mold etc is just beyond annoying & makes it just impossible for me to enjoy looking at the places filmed. This channel has NONE of those issues - AT ALL!!! There’s just absolutely no comparison to be perfectly honest! 👏👏👏👏👏

    What this says about our day, when Capitalism is the basis of the economy, is that with the ability to choose to pay for luxury, many people tend to be more realistic. When Communism (Soviet Union) or Socialism (Nazi Germany) run the show, they can violently force the people to pay for luxury and sacrifice comfort in their own homes so that rulers can enjoy castle luxuries. Slavery can provide all the remodeling that castle needs. Here, a home similar in grandeur but not as large was not able to be continued in use as a family home because of different personalities of the children that could have maybe taken it over but they didn’t want to or couldn’t afford it, Stan Hwet Hall in Akron Ohio was taken over by a historical society that takes voluntary membership dues & donations & sells things in the gift shop & cafe, and hosts special events & tours for extra money, they are able to pay for maintenance & improvements on the property because the workers are mostly volunteers & the public gets to visit many times a year if they want. But there are a LOT of people within driving distance to come see it. Just about anyone can afford the annual membership fee. It sounds like your castle in Poland is too far away from enough regular people to participate in enjoying the property. It would be more expense in time & money to help pay for it with visit fees. Capitalism is great. Putting giant luxury buildings in isolated places is a bad idea if they want it to never fall apart from neglect.

The unreplicated craftsmanship is amazing & I would think there is a market for people to purchase & remove mantles, staircases, wall reliefs, bookshelves, wainscoting, & other adornments?
    It's heartbreaking to see the potential to salvage elements just left to rot & be destroyed by vandals.

      Some of my relatives lived in a rather big ruin. It used to be a farm house, but they got wealthy by trade and added wings to it with a shop, storehouse and it became a multigeneration home with confusing layout. It broke apart due to different sinking rates due to different foundations. When I first came to it it was already partially abandoned with all sorts junk moved to abandoned wings. It was terribly cold in winter and only few rooms were heated. It suffered from mold, had some sort of stalagtites growing and cobwebs everywhere. A great place for kids to explore (except for safety considerations) and depressing for adults...
