Oh my gosh, this home is just breath taking! I can just imagine the family living in here. What I would give to have lived in a time when family mattered. When values were important, where people stuck together. You do not see homes like this anymore. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.
The third dining room was for the children. They always ate separately from the adults until they reached puberty. Thus the small plastic glasses. The box you found was disposal ciggerett holders. I am eighty years old and my grandfather used them when I was young.
Another thing is since you’re using English to communicate it looks like you’re spelling “shares” to identify chairs. English spells chairs to sit in at the eating table “chairs.” It sounds an awful lot alike but not spelled the same way. It has a hard “ch” sound and “sh” is softer. Thank you. Just trying to help.
I discovered your channel very recently and I have to say, "You've taken my breath away with the fabulous places you explore." I will keep watching these regardless of how far back they may go. I Love the respect you show to these places. Keep on exploring and bringing us more to watch. The furniture shows the pride in craftsmanship and those rugs are magnificent. Thank You
I wish today's homes had a tenth of the detail and craftsmanship that these older homes have in a decaying state.It seems like all these specialty trades are being lost to time.
@@BrosOfDecay I agree and also the way that some homes are designed today is the fact that everybody has a big personal space in older homes the family was more close together a family room was actually a nice small room you could sit together and talk no TV no distractions like all the phones and everything now everybody just seems to go on their own and they communicate through text message instead of picking up the phone or even just talking to each other while under the same roof.
@@polarbear5740 Actually many houses, especially in the U.K are being built much smaller than in the past. Houses being built in the U.k now are on average 40% smaller than in the 1950s.
@@sarahstrong7174 That's interesting,here I. The US it seems that most people want to build these mcmansions that have at least 5-6 bedrooms and around 7-9 bathrooms.Its ridiculous. I myself have a small I guess you could say modest house but I don't want to be stuck with humongous electric bills and heating and cooling bills even if I have the money I still wouldn't want it
@ Polar Bear. I wouldn’t want to clean it. It would be very expensive to hire help. We live in a modular home 🏡 I can’t imagine all the cleaning people in the house. My mom and dad always told me some day your going to be old remember no steps and you can. Imagine what else. Well now I’m old so I sure understand a lot more. God Bless you sll🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻
I love the library. I'm like the guy talking. That room pulled me in. A library today is a closet that nobody's using with a computer sitting in it. There's just something about the feel of a book that makes it totally different to me. That window with the day bed. They'd have to run me out of that room.
You can tell things were well kept here for a long time. Looks somewhat clean and kept up. At first I thought maybe it was a home turned into a historical museum or something. I'm just amazed that everything wasn't in disarray, except the one room and then the bathroom with bugs on the floor. Amazing explore!
What made me gasp was the portable altarpiece on the desk in the blue room. It is a personal altarpiece for prayer and contemplation and of the Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grunewald, a great masterpiece. Now that is an object that I would covet. Outstanding. There were many rooms that offered the prospect of comfort and a place to enjoy art and books and good company. One of the most engaging explores I have seen. Thank you.
Really enjoyed seeing this one, with the many shades of blue, cool and warm tones together, variety of textiles, brick and stone floors, many windows to bring sunshine in, all making it very cozy and a place to feel comfortable and homey. I draw and paint myself and I do believe if that were my house (which I would absolutely love), the large room that you said was a storage room with the the floor to ceiling windows would make a great art studio. I also would spend hours looking at all the books in the library, if I could read in French that is, haha.
I can't believe how immaculate most of the house looks! The old furniture looks amazing. You could still live in that house, it's so well preserved. I would totally buy that house, keep everything and design around the style of it.
Can you guide us where to buy these beautiful abandoned houses? I am interested. Thank you very much for opening my eyes to see how beautiful and adventurous life is. You changed my perspective in life, thank you very much. 👍👍🙏🏻
Oh My God ! This place was a Dream ! This one had so many expensive things in it. The crystal glass was everywhere. This has been my favorite so far. If i could i would move right in right now. Not much to do. But im surprised that there was no pool outside. I grew up in Beverly hills so ive seen beautiful houses but this one had such charm. Thank you for showing us this one.
Leslie, I melt at the sound of your voice as I travel along with you in these extravagant castles and mansions 💯. This castle is beautiful and so well maintained. The prices of furniture like that today! 😰! Prayers for protection for you and your family as well as your traveling crew. Please stay safe and wear your mask! See you on the next adventure!

This may be one of my favorite videos in the history of RUclips. This Old World, Antique European, decor style speaks to me deeply and this tour has given me a surge of inspiration. Thank you ♡
I would love to know how exploration of all these wonderful places has changed you. Because you are so young, I wonder if seeing the beauty of the past first hand has given you perspective for what you would like for yourself in the future. 😊 Thank you so very much for sharing💖
10:06 Lesley back in the day some places would have a room for breakfast and one for lunch and one for suppers the ritch would have 3 places for eating because well if they had the money they could well those that wanted a different room to eat in that gave a different place to look at instead of one room or 2 rooms. But for most castles will have 2 floors of kitchens will have 3 rooms to eat in would include the ballroom and the tea room as well but the ballroom and tea room are always beside each other so if you see a large room with a smaller room beside it then it is a ballroom with a tea room :) . Love the baskets in the kitchen means they had a big garden and loved fresh veggies and/or Flowers. That garlic press is also used as a nutmeg shredder as well when you get the whole nutmeg. 17:23 that is a games room where they would play games card games actually but in general all indoor games.
@@sarahstrong7174 yes and if you see on the other side looks like a grater the cup under it keeps the spice I know my Grandma has one and she still uses it.
They must have really loved their dogs❤ I noticed many important photos with their dogs present. How wonderful to think they loved their dog as much as I love mine.
In this house my favorite room is the blue bedroom with the books, the big beautiful white fireplace and nailhead floral chair. Would’ve been my spot to unwind. Bedroom at 29:45 everything is so beautiful. All the wardrobe furnishings are gorgeous! Watching from 🇺🇸.
I loved this home, so many memories, I would totally live in the blue room 💗, so sad is abandoned 😢, I wanted to cry when Leslie opened the two casket bullets 🥺 and see all those letters!! thank you for sharing! 💗
I truly love your "adventure of old homes"...watching this programme make me see the different ways & styles people live their life....I really can't get over it soon...indulged it that some memory make you fall in love to old life of yesteryears!..Keep it up & thank you for sharing....😘
Hey Luna, that was my thought as well when I was in there, Last week I went again and I met the owner. He was really nice and we talked for a while, he is trying to restore the place and give it new life
@@BrosOfDecay If he would sell off some of the stuff from the house it would give him funds for restoration. The house needs a look over by antique collectors to evaluate what would get the most money. Way too much furniture in just about every room. Even after selling stuff there would be enough to make each room a perfect retreat. The same for all the houseware stuff...tons of vases, plates, great picture frames. The houses two storage rooms full of stuff could have value still in them. The owner should ask for help in getting some stuff to auction.
@@BrosOfDecay That is Excellent news. I knew deep down that some care is given to this place......it would not be in such great shape without it. Great video...
@@pattiwhite9575 My thought as well Patti. Rooms were too packed. Sell some stuff. And that mirror door armoire in hallway would go for big bucks. By the look of the taxidermy rotting away the mold and moisture from the roof rot leaks are fast destroying the place. Get the vines off of the house that are rotting the exterior. The current owner is in over his head and not moving fast enough. Poor place.Sell it to someone who CAN save it please!!!
Great explore good to see the place still intact and not trashed the furniture beautiful loved the pianos really enjoy the explores you do good to watch keep safe x
Fascinating! 1) There is a lot missing from the home already- the valuable silver, jewelry and marketable artowrks are long gone. 2) Ok- so not 3 dining rooms! you have a kitchen, which food was prepared and where the servants, workers and later on the family would eat , the formal dining room, where the family ate in more flush times, and then that random room, which may have been set up as a dining room by sellers as an idea to sell the place Or used as a dining room for an elderly person. 3) no dates on the Pioneer box, but that model started manufacture in 2002/2003- plus some of those books are from the early aughts. So that means the place was at least inhabited 20 years ago. 4) France is literally chock full of old lovely furniture like this; it's hard to shift because tastes change, and so many people live in cities where there may not be room for that furniture. 5) There are people it seems who want to save the place. I hope that they do!
Lesley, this home is so beautiful. I would love to live in that home, the bedrooms were wo beautiful! The room with the two pianos! Wow, can you imagine the good times they had playing music together? So wonderful. This home should be saved. The home could become a museum, and Mr. George's art should be in an art museum. Now, Mister George's home is my favorite. I just loved that library so much! I wish I could see that home one day, so beautiful and wonderful, and I pray that it can be saved. xxoo Stay safe!
WOW! - What an incredible explore, dear Lesley! - I enjoyed every moment of watching you taking us viewers on this tour through that beautiful and still so intact mansion. - You certainly don't have to excuse yourself for the video length, because it was such an unparalleled pleasure walking in mind with you from one room to the other. - Beautiful furniture! Wonderful original set ups, - even in the smaller details. The whole location has such a strong museal vibe, that I could hardly believe my eyes. - The grand room with two pianos was so beautiful. I tried to imagine the former owner sitting at one piano, and someone else sitting at the other playing piano music for two pianos. Also your choice for the background music was highly enjoyable. Especially surprising was the method how you revealed the beauty from one room to the next one! - Absolutely magnificient! - So thank you so so much for sharing this incredible explore! - I hope to see you later in a while, and so I wish you a lot more inspiring and exciting explores whereever you are going. - Greetings to Jordy as well. Also your friend William did a good job with the camera. - Take care and stay safe! Lots of blessings, peace and kindest regards from now sunny and very hot Switzerland.
Lesley, you have done it again! This is my favorite tour and the home is just beautiful. It's really in pretty good condition except for the roof. That seems always to be where the damage/decay begins! It's ashame. I can't understand why these beautiful places are just left with everything still there. Please be careful and stay well. I pray for you and Jordy. Thank you for an enjoyable time. Missed your kiss!
Hi bros of decay omg what a beautiful amazing home,can’t believe it’s abandoned,so much left .I love it all Lesley you like a child at Christmas,I love how excited you get .I get that ,words can’t explain how amazing it all is ,stay safe my favourite explorers thank you for taking us around with you,much love Ann uk xx
The second dining room was for servants and quick breakfasts. You are sooo nosey! lol I love it! You make me want to buy these abandoned places and restore them but hubby says NO. (pout).
I could actually say this is the most exciting and Beautiful video ever it put me my heart and soul in that area I was just like a ghost going through it and wishing that I live there your presentation was outstanding maybe he didn't have as many photos or his already are off that maybe the family or somebody took it but wasn't that he was an artist and that's how he lived and sold them to make a living or was he a musician is that how he made his money to have such a fabulous home just a little confused and I'd like to know his name so I can read more about him and his life I read a lot of books I watch a lot of your videos and I'm simply amazed and I'm 74 and I forget a lot of things and I don't want to forget this one and I'm very interested in this one everything was so beautiful and you elaborate beyond belief my daughter lives in valbonne France the last 16 years I've been there twice and I'm Amazed Elle France I love it wish I could go back again God bless you be safe keep up the good work could you please respond to my question of his name so I could read about him great work God bless you Marlene from California
The carpets in the blue bedroom and the sitting area next door are spectacular and look very expensive. Wonderful house. I’d love to live there. Great video Lesley. Elaine, UK.
I am at awe as to how these amazing home are just sitting to decay. And I fall in love with the craftsmanship of the furniture. I would love to own any of the bedroom suit in this and many others I have seen in your video's. Again Thank you for making an older woman's day.
I always see people crunching thru trashed houses and wish I could see it before it got taken apart. This house...has been carefully put to rights...bravo. and the ceiling show signs of attempt at repair...plaster replaced, scraped and looks lime they are gonna repair and no current damage in the majority of the place, the areas in decline in my opinion, were not used at the end, left to gather dust. The windows all show damage from leaking,. and I think the room alone that is my favorite is the junk room...It is where they tossed stuff when neatening up...and tne windows are awesome and the light is great..love the high ceilings,,for sure was a studio at one time..but not used as he grew old. Loved getting an idea of how the house used to be...when lived in. Good video.
The beautiful hose was pretty clean - I didn’t see cobwebs or heavy dust - on one of the stairs there were bowls lined up as if to catch water - any drawings signed might be worth money - the antiques, the beautiful beds and armoires were magnificent - that was a glimpse of how they lived - the little desk type tables in the bedrooms especially in front of the windows was to sit and write letters to family and friends and read letters they get - that had to be one of the most amazing ones I have seen - I was totally enthralled - wish I knew the details - was that house passed to family? Who is cleaning it but not really moving things, and God forbid I hope their are no plans to demolish it - it could be turned into a beautiful tourist site with all that old furniture or sold to someone who would keep it up - it wouldn’t be as amazing without all the furnishings and things
I was thinking a bed and breakfast or an Inn with horse rides to gourmet picnics in the countryside! Even a celebrity retreat. Or a winery vineyard. It could be a real money maker with the right owner who can invest $$$ to restore it.
Yes, please don't. Let anyone know we're this place is. It's BEAUTIFUL. Let it stay at its natural beauty. It drives me crazy when I see beautiful property, getting destroyed. It's a pleasure to see untouched. With know vandalizing. Thank you for such a beautiful share and respect for the property.😊
There is no match to French decor. It's always visually stunning. Best find yet Lesley. I noticed quite a few places on the walls where pictures had been. The place is a shrine, it needs to be auctioned to preserve all those beautiful artifacts and the furniture. It would be a diabolical waste to let it rot into the ground.♡
Music teacher here.. Those actually look like bassoon or oboe reeds. The part sticking up goes into the instrument. The case they are in is typical of the time. The wood used is bamboo and can be fragile.
I’ve just discovered B 😉to my Great Delight...I’ve always Loved going through abandoned places even though it makes me sad sometimes. I find it difficult to understand how someone didn’t continue to love them. Especially when like you said...he had a large family and yet the beautiful places sit empty, alone and unloved 😢 Safe travels and God Bless ❤️
This place is beautiful would really love to explore it myself the furniture is absolutely gorgeous WOW just WOW great video guys thanks a bunch really enjoyed it from Texas
@@sandra_d4037 they are not actually scissors, he just called them that. The wedge cup is awful large for wicks. I dont think that tool would cut anything. omo
Google vintage candle scissors and you will see that Sandra is correct. How could you possibly squeeze a lemon with scissors. Go back and actually take a look at that clip. Those are Scissors!
That blue library! Beautiful! I love French furtinure with the slender legs and ornate curved tops, the wooden beds, the pianos. It looks like Mr. George had a lovely life filled with art and music. Thank team Bros of Decay for yet another amazing video.
What an amazing home . I can't get over how nice the rugs are just a very pretty home. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour of this grand home. 🙋✌️👍❤️🙋
Amazing castle and it’s content.inside this very special grandiose setting. You did a magnificent job with the video footage. The way you extended the time frames with the images giving the viewer time to absorb the beauty of the furniture, chandlers and even the symmetry of the angles and parts of the home! Very well done!! Very professional. I do enjoy and prefer the longer time spans on your videos. It gives me the time to better absorb the beauty of the mansions, homes, castles and the stories behind the people who lived in those dwellings. The stories behind these abandoned time capsules are just as important as the structure and you give it the perfect touch when you tell the story of the inhabitants of these special and personal lives of the people who seem to jump out from a moment in time. Their life, their experiences and their existence are very important when introducing a family and the life they lived to to your audience. Very special and very nice. Thank you!!
A qualidade desse vídeo,meu Deus como é linda essa casa.Que pena não ser habitada,ficou tudo na lembrança ao abandono.Vcs arrumaram para mostrar a riqueza de detalhes,quizera todas as mansões,castelos,palácios e casa fosse conservada sem vandalismo.Eu na verdade gostaria que fosse habitada.Tantas pessoas que não tem um lar.Beijo.Exelente trabalho.
Loved the video !! Just wonderful so untouched !! Looks like he was a man of many talents . Makes me sad to see this all rot away !! But in your video's these places live on !! And for that I thank you !!👍👍
Thank you for bringing me to places I will never get to see myself!! It makes me feel melancholy to see these homes. The homes feel lonely without people living in them.
I wonder why these beautiful gems are abandoned. No one to inherit? No one to sell it? No one able to buy it somehow? It's sad. I would have loved to buy a place like this and restore it to its former glory!
Such a dreamy beautiful home. The rooms and furniture themselves would be an inspiration to an artist alone. Each bedroom you go into is more beautiful than the one before. My favorite room is the blue room with the old books "art room" all of them lovely. So nice to see all the photos. Would loved to see the grounds what it looked like back in the day. Thanks for sharing
9:32 That is where the bodies have been stored. 19:42 I imagine that room would have been his studio before it became a store room. Plenty of outside light. There are so many beautiful Persian rugs in the house, all look handmade and original. Thank you for the tour of this amazing and beautiful house.
Hi Lesley, I loved the rhyme it was so cool and well thought out. Such a lovely home, the drawings were very good, he obviously had great talent. Thank you for showing us around this amazing place, much love. xx💖
Really lovely place! So many really nice interesting beautiful things here. He's has really nice taste. Yes he had some great art work. The one with his signature/name was beautiful. That Asian carpet in the blue room was in great condition and everything in the room looks so clean. Remember to hydrate! Sunscreen too is a good thing! Thanks for the lovely explore as usual. A lot of interesting things and stories here.
The pack of “cigarettes” are actually double reeds for a bassoon. Iwould love to know who is maintaining the place, and why they are leaving it unused.
The large storage room would have been a studio. Large north facing windows is the artist ideal. It has the most consistent natural light. Great explore!
Hermoso 🥰 hermoso lugar ❤️‼️, acogedor, sencilla elegancia detenida en el tiempo.....parece que alguien lo mantiene ordenado.... gracias chicos y saludos desde Mexico 👋🏼‼️
Such a peaceful place. I love the lovely red tints, shades and pastels of the interior furnishings with woody brown furniture that bring the atmosphere calmly down to earth. I love places that are cut off from civilization. That VCR video recorder in the box looks like from 1970's -1980's period.
It is called a day bed where they could rest on for a short nap my favorite chanels are your and explomo you quys have the best channel love you quys Alberta Canada
I just wanted to Thank You So Much For Your Videos Of the Beautiful But So Sad Abandoned Homes. I went in a Victorian Older home when I was 15 The elderly lady had died and her family was having a huge Sale of her Furniture and items and the Home was So Beautiful I fell in Love with the older homes and their history. So I Thank You With All My Heart For What You Do. God Bless You Always And Keep You All Safe. We Love You and Appreciate All Your Hard Work And Your Love For The Beautiful Old Abandoned Homes Too. 💖💖💖
Guys..how could you find..explore where those mysterious places existed...thanks to your effort, feel like I walk through in to the past century, love it
Well I'm hello Leslie..I am also Leslie, however, I'm 70, a retired expat in NYC after working around the world as a single lady and have decided to continue on with my personal journey down to Oaxaca MX.soon. Intriguing channel, and I've enjoyed your insight.There is a human story behind every decaying building.Architecture is a human ongoing art-life that is complex,surprising and always very different.Bravo,great vlog idea .
@@gailschaeffer323 people still use them today, bcuz if you blow candles out, in a nicer home, you splatter wax all over the place. You have to snuff them out. You'll just blow blow blow like a minimalist and splatter wax all over the floor and walls. Down with minimalism! Up with maximalism!
I absolutely love this house. Thankyou for doing such a good job of filming it. One of the reasons it looks so great is that many of the things were arranged by an artist. I would feel quite at home in this place. Please go back & film the outbuildings & the bits that were missed such as the conservatory & the bedroom with the dark blue carpet with oriental motifs on, plus more of what is around the house.
My question is how do you just walk away from beautiful homes like this??? So much history some of these homes have. I would love to just move in to one of these homes and never leave.
Again, if banks, families or whomever is in charge of this place would just fix the roof. It would solve a lot of problems. Water damage is the worst damage of all.
Amazing! One of my favorite videos. Great job! Thanks for keeping me entertained during covid-19. I love seeing your amazing abandoned mansions. I will never understand why families would leave such treasures behind.
I agree with a previous comment regarding "no dust; someone is maintaining this place." It does look staged. In the room with the pink bed, there was a box with the brand name "Pioneer" which is a brand or type of 20th century stereo radio and/or music playing appliance.
Oh my gosh, this home is just breath taking! I can just imagine the family living in here. What I would give to have lived in a time when family mattered. When values were important, where people stuck together. You do not see homes like this anymore. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.

I've been watching you almost from your beginning. Your passion hasn't wavered. The presentation is always surpurbe.
Needs a new roof asap
Was the flowers fake? also the tray in the drawer was that green plastic?
Old houses have memory of life....they want someone to love them again.

10:06 Lesley back in the day some places would have a room for breakfast and one for lunch and one for suppers the ritch would have 3 places for eating because well if they had the money they could well those that wanted a different room to eat in that gave a different place to look at instead of one room or 2 rooms.

For Nutmeg you would need a grater.

It breaks my heart to see all of these beautiful things just left behind to rot. They should be loved and cherished.
I’ve fallen head over heels in love with this stunning place. If only I was rich!!!! Thank you 😊
This was probably my fave video. This was gorgeous! The rugs and furnitures. Stunning! Thank you
They must have really loved their dogs❤ I noticed many important photos with their dogs present. How wonderful to think they loved their dog as much as I love mine.
In this house my favorite room is the blue bedroom with the books, the big beautiful white fireplace and nailhead floral chair. Would’ve been my spot to unwind. Bedroom at 29:45 everything is so beautiful.
All the wardrobe furnishings are gorgeous! Watching from 🇺🇸.
I loved this home, so many memories, I would totally live in the blue room 💗, so sad is abandoned 😢, I wanted to cry when Leslie opened the two casket bullets 🥺 and see all those letters!! thank you for sharing! 💗
EXCELLENT 🤗🙏🏻👍🏻💕🇺🇸. Mind blown with all of these artifacts every where we look beautiful rugs, furniture, dishes AMAZING 👏🏻👍🏻💕 Thank you for sharing
This home is in good shape but more importantly, the spirit in it exudes love and family and fun.
I truly love your "adventure of old homes"...watching this programme make me see the different ways & styles people live their life....I really can't get over it soon...indulged it that some memory make you fall in love to old life of yesteryears!..Keep it up & thank you for sharing....😘
This house is the most charming I've seen . There must be someone who looks after it , it looks so clean and in order .,
I thought so to no dust no dirt no cob webs. It’s absolutely gorgeous. WOW. So elegant. God Bless 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻
Hey Luna, that was my thought as well when I was in there, Last week I went again and I met the owner. He was really nice and we talked for a while, he is trying to restore the place and give it new life
@@BrosOfDecay If he would sell off some of the stuff from the house it would give him funds for restoration. The house needs a look over by antique collectors to evaluate what would get the most money. Way too much furniture in just about every room. Even after selling stuff there would be enough to make each room a perfect retreat. The same for all the houseware stuff...tons of vases, plates, great picture frames. The houses two storage rooms full of stuff could have value still in them. The owner should ask for help in getting some stuff to auction.
@@BrosOfDecay That is Excellent news. I knew deep down that some care is given to this place......it would not be in such great shape without it. Great video...
@@pattiwhite9575 My thought as well Patti. Rooms were too packed. Sell some stuff. And that mirror door armoire in hallway would go for big bucks. By the look of the taxidermy rotting away the mold and moisture from the roof rot leaks are fast destroying the place. Get the vines off of the house that are rotting the exterior. The current owner is in over his head and not moving fast enough. Poor place.Sell it to someone who CAN save it please!!!
Great explore good to see the place still intact and not trashed the furniture beautiful loved the pianos really enjoy the explores you do good to watch keep safe x
Imagine being someone who grew up in this place, seeing their memories on RUclips after all these years.
VERY MAGICALLY LOOKING HOME WOW IT WAS VERY NICE AND CLEAN YOU DID IT AGAIN AAA PLUS VIDEO KENTUCKY USA SEE YOU NEXT WEEK
Fascinating!
1) There is a lot missing from the home already- the valuable silver, jewelry and marketable artowrks are long gone.
2) Ok- so not 3 dining rooms! you have a kitchen, which food was prepared and where the servants, workers and later on the family would eat , the formal dining room, where the family ate in more flush times, and then that random room, which may have been set up as a dining room by sellers as an idea to sell the place Or used as a dining room for an elderly person.
3) no dates on the Pioneer box, but that model started manufacture in 2002/2003- plus some of those books are from the early aughts. So that means the place was at least inhabited 20 years ago.
4) France is literally chock full of old lovely furniture like this; it's hard to shift because tastes change, and so many people live in cities where there may not be room for that furniture.
5) There are people it seems who want to save the place. I hope that they do!
I love this place ! Baskets hanging from the ceiling ! Love ,love love .
Lesley, this home is so beautiful. I would love to live in that home, the bedrooms were wo beautiful! The room with the two pianos! Wow, can you imagine the good times they had playing music together? So wonderful. This home should be saved. The home could become a museum, and Mr. George's art should be in an art museum. Now, Mister George's home is my favorite. I just loved that library so much! I wish I could see that home one day, so beautiful and wonderful, and I pray that it can be saved. xxoo Stay safe!
WOW! - What an incredible explore, dear Lesley! - I enjoyed every moment of watching you taking us viewers on this tour through that
beautiful and still so intact mansion. - You certainly don't have to excuse yourself for the video length, because it was such an unparalleled
pleasure walking in mind with you from one room to the other. - Beautiful furniture! Wonderful original set ups, - even in the smaller details.
The whole location has such a strong museal vibe, that I could hardly believe my eyes. - The grand room with two pianos was so beautiful.
I tried to imagine the former owner sitting at one piano, and someone else sitting at the other playing piano music for two pianos.
Also your choice for the background music was highly enjoyable. Especially surprising was the method how you revealed the beauty from
one room to the next one! - Absolutely magnificient! - So thank you so so much for sharing this incredible explore! - I hope to see you
later in a while, and so I wish you a lot more inspiring and exciting explores whereever you are going. - Greetings to Jordy as well.
Also your friend William did a good job with the camera. - Take care and stay safe!
Lots of blessings, peace and kindest regards from now sunny and very hot Switzerland.
Lesley, you have done it again! This is my favorite tour and the home is just beautiful. It's really in pretty good condition except for the roof. That seems always to be where the damage/decay begins! It's ashame. I can't understand why these beautiful places are just left with everything still there. Please be careful and stay well. I pray for you and Jordy. Thank you for an enjoyable time. Missed your kiss!
Hi bros of decay omg what a beautiful amazing home,can’t believe it’s abandoned,so much left .I love it all Lesley you like a child at Christmas,I love how excited you get .I get that ,words can’t explain how amazing it all is ,stay safe my favourite explorers thank you for taking us around with you,much love Ann uk xx
This was a magnificent home and furniture. Shame it is beginning to deteriorate Thank you for showing this place. I really enjoyed it very much.
The second dining room was for servants and quick breakfasts. You are sooo nosey! lol I love it! You make me want to buy these abandoned places and restore them but hubby says NO. (pout).
I could actually say this is the most exciting and Beautiful video ever it put me my heart and soul in that area I was just like a ghost going through it and wishing that I live there your presentation was outstanding maybe he didn't have as many photos or his already are off that maybe the family or somebody took it but wasn't that he was an artist and that's how he lived and sold them to make a living or was he a musician is that how he made his money to have such a fabulous home just a little confused and I'd like to know his name so I can read more about him and his life I read a lot of books I watch a lot of your videos and I'm simply amazed and I'm 74 and I forget a lot of things and I don't want to forget this one and I'm very interested in this one everything was so beautiful and you elaborate beyond belief my daughter lives in valbonne France the last 16 years I've been there twice and I'm Amazed Elle France I love it wish I could go back again God bless you be safe keep up the good work could you please respond to my question of his name so I could read about him great work God bless you Marlene from California
What is the back story of this place and was there a tragedy of some manner
The carpets in the blue bedroom and the sitting area next door are spectacular and look very expensive. Wonderful house. I’d love to live there. Great video Lesley. Elaine, UK.
I am at awe as to how these amazing home are just sitting to decay. And I fall in love with the craftsmanship of the furniture. I would love to own any of the bedroom suit in this and many others I have seen in your video's. Again Thank you for making an older woman's day.
Imagine sitting in the blue room reading...beautiful castle and the old furniture is breathtaking.
You find the best places that look like a step back in time untouched...A beautiful find.
You have a beautiful accent. Love listening to it.
The less fancy dinning room/ kitchen would of been where the servants ate. Thanks for a wonderful explore.♥️🇺🇸
I agree I forgot to mention that in the video :O
@Joeleen Ladououcer tráduzir portugues esppanho
@Joeleen Ladououcer .muito lindo
Maybe it was breakfast room.
I always see people crunching thru trashed houses and wish I could see it before it got taken apart. This house...has been carefully put to rights...bravo. and the ceiling show signs of attempt at repair...plaster replaced, scraped and looks lime they are gonna repair and no current damage in the majority of the place, the areas in decline in my opinion, were not used at the end, left to gather dust. The windows all show damage from leaking,. and I think the room alone that is my favorite is the junk room...It is where they tossed stuff when neatening up...and tne windows are awesome and the light is great..love the high ceilings,,for sure was a studio at one time..but not used as he grew old. Loved getting an idea of how the house used to be...when lived in. Good video.
The beautiful hose was pretty clean - I didn’t see cobwebs or heavy dust - on one of the stairs there were bowls lined up as if to catch water - any drawings signed might be worth money - the antiques, the beautiful beds and armoires were magnificent - that was a glimpse of how they lived - the little desk type tables in the bedrooms especially in front of the windows was to sit and write letters to family and friends and read letters they get - that had to be one of the most amazing ones I have seen - I was totally enthralled - wish I knew the details - was that house passed to family? Who is cleaning it but not really moving things, and God forbid I hope their are no plans to demolish it - it could be turned into a beautiful tourist site with all that old furniture or sold to someone who would keep it up - it wouldn’t be as amazing without all the furnishings and things
I was thinking a bed and breakfast or an Inn with horse rides to gourmet picnics in the countryside! Even a celebrity retreat. Or a winery vineyard. It could be a real money maker with the right owner who can invest $$$ to restore it.
Yes, please don't. Let anyone know we're this place is. It's BEAUTIFUL. Let it stay at its natural beauty. It drives me crazy when I see beautiful property, getting destroyed. It's a pleasure to see untouched. With know vandalizing. Thank you for such a beautiful share and respect for the property.😊
There is no match to French decor. It's always visually stunning. Best find yet Lesley. I noticed quite a few places on the walls where pictures had been. The place is a shrine, it needs to be auctioned to preserve all those beautiful artifacts and the furniture. It would be a diabolical waste to let it rot into the ground.♡
if he was a well known artist..those frirst drawings should be in a museam//Priceless. love you
12:02 those are cigarette holders. No one uses them anymore but they were very popular 100 years ago. That fireplace in the blue room was amazing!
Music teacher here.. Those actually look like bassoon or oboe reeds. The part sticking up goes into the instrument. The case they are in is typical of the time. The wood used is bamboo and can be fragile.
I was thinking those were the kind of cigarette holders used by the “upper class” women. But then, that was here in America!! And not THAT long ago!!
I’ve just discovered B 😉to my Great Delight...I’ve always Loved going through abandoned places even though it makes me sad sometimes. I find it difficult to understand how someone didn’t continue to love them. Especially when like you said...he had a large family and yet the beautiful places sit empty, alone and unloved 😢
Safe travels and God Bless ❤️
This place is beautiful would really love to explore it myself the furniture is absolutely gorgeous WOW just WOW great video guys thanks a bunch really enjoyed it from Texas
I know ! Ill go with you. I would be so happy to look on my own.
That was cool, I enjoyed the tour.
Glad I could take you with me!
Beautiful! I really enjoyed this tour. Thank you for your excellent work in finding and filming these wonderful places.
I love all the spots on the wall
Where you can see a photo once sat for a long time because of discoloration of the surrounding wall
Wow! What a beautiful castle 😍 the library is lit 🔥 and i bet he was a talented artist! Amazing adventure Lesley ! ❤
Wow such a lovely and very large home! The French really have beautiful aesthetics.
3:55 that kitchen device is a lemon squeezer, for a lemon wedge. For tea.
These scissors at 3:46 are available in a similar form to shorten the wick of a candle
@@sandra_d4037 they are not actually scissors, he just called them that. The wedge cup is awful large for wicks. I dont think that tool would cut anything. omo
Voklst Westie yes correct
Google vintage candle scissors and you will see that Sandra is correct. How could you possibly squeeze a lemon with scissors. Go back and actually take a look at that clip. Those are Scissors!
@@nisar6339 comprehension is objective
That blue library! Beautiful! I love French furtinure with the slender legs and ornate curved tops, the wooden beds, the pianos. It looks like Mr. George had a lovely life filled with art and music. Thank team Bros of Decay for yet another amazing video.
0:50 treadle sewing machine. Ooooh!! Vintage
As usual B of D thought provoking narrative 🧐
👍
What an amazing home . I can't get over how nice the rugs are just a very pretty home. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour of this grand home. 🙋✌️👍❤️🙋
Amazing castle and it’s content.inside this very special grandiose setting. You did a magnificent job with the video footage. The way you extended the time frames with the images giving the viewer time to absorb the beauty of the furniture, chandlers and even the symmetry of the angles and parts of the home! Very well done!! Very professional. I do enjoy and prefer the longer time spans on your videos. It gives me the time to better absorb the beauty of the mansions, homes, castles and the stories behind the people who lived in those dwellings. The stories behind these abandoned time capsules are just as important as the structure and you give it the perfect touch when you tell the story of the inhabitants of these special and personal lives of the people who seem to jump out from a moment in time. Their life, their experiences and their existence are very important when introducing a family and the life they lived to to your audience. Very special and very nice. Thank you!!
A qualidade desse vídeo,meu Deus como é linda essa casa.Que pena não ser habitada,ficou tudo na lembrança ao abandono.Vcs arrumaram para mostrar a riqueza de detalhes,quizera todas as mansões,castelos,palácios e casa fosse conservada sem vandalismo.Eu na verdade gostaria que fosse habitada.Tantas pessoas que não tem um lar.Beijo.Exelente trabalho.
Loved the video !! Just wonderful so untouched !! Looks like he was a man of many talents . Makes me sad to see this all rot away !! But in your video's these places live on !! And for that I thank you !!👍👍
Thank you for bringing me to places I will never get to see myself!! It makes me feel melancholy to see these homes. The homes feel lonely without people living in them.
Someone is trying to save this place by putting buckets around to catch dripping water, it should be saved
But hopefully they empty the buckets
Pamela Neibuhr yes correct
I wonder why these beautiful gems are abandoned. No one to inherit? No one to sell it? No one able to buy it somehow? It's sad. I would have loved to buy a place like this and restore it to its former glory!
@@Kari.F. Maybe they have yet to sort out the arrangements. It can take quite a while to go through probate.
I do hope the roof gets fixed quickly.
Such a dreamy beautiful home. The rooms and furniture themselves would be an inspiration to an artist alone. Each bedroom you go into is more beautiful than the one before. My favorite room is the blue room with the old books "art room" all of them lovely. So nice to see all the photos. Would loved to see the grounds what it looked like back in the day. Thanks for sharing
9:32 That is where the bodies have been stored.
19:42 I imagine that room would have been his studio before it became a store room. Plenty of outside light.
There are so many beautiful Persian rugs in the house, all look handmade and original.
Thank you for the tour of this amazing and beautiful house.
Hi Lesley, I loved the rhyme it was so cool and well thought out. Such a lovely home, the drawings were very good, he obviously had great talent. Thank you for showing us around this amazing place, much love. xx💖
Beautiful house
Watching from Myrtle Beach South Carolina USA
Really lovely place! So many really nice interesting beautiful things here. He's has really nice taste. Yes he had some great art work. The one with his signature/name was beautiful. That Asian carpet in the blue room was in great condition and everything in the room looks so clean. Remember to hydrate! Sunscreen too is a good thing! Thanks for the lovely explore as usual. A lot of interesting things and stories here.
That was an amazing castle I loved the old beds
I love that you made the intro a pretty rhyming poem. You guys give urban exploring an extra bit of class and culture. I love it so much!
The pack of “cigarettes” are actually double reeds for a bassoon. Iwould love to know who is maintaining the place, and why they are leaving it unused.
Ecacto. Quien le da la data y puedem entrar
The large storage room would have been a studio. Large north facing windows is the artist ideal. It has the most consistent natural light.
Great explore!
Hermoso 🥰 hermoso lugar ❤️‼️, acogedor, sencilla elegancia detenida en el tiempo.....parece que alguien lo mantiene ordenado.... gracias chicos y saludos desde Mexico 👋🏼‼️
Such a peaceful place. I love the lovely red tints, shades and pastels of the interior furnishings with woody brown furniture that bring the atmosphere calmly down to earth. I love places that are cut off from civilization. That VCR video recorder in the box looks like from 1970's -1980's period.
It is called a day bed where they could rest on for a short nap my favorite chanels are your and explomo you quys have the best channel love you quys Alberta Canada
I just wanted to Thank You So Much For Your Videos Of the Beautiful But So Sad Abandoned Homes. I went in a Victorian Older home when I was 15 The elderly lady had died and her family was having a huge Sale of her Furniture and items and the Home was So Beautiful I fell in Love with the older homes and their history. So I Thank You With All My Heart For What You Do. God Bless You Always And Keep You All Safe. We Love You and Appreciate All Your Hard Work And Your Love For The Beautiful Old Abandoned Homes Too. 💖💖💖
Guys..how could you find..explore where those mysterious places existed...thanks to your effort, feel like I walk through in to the past century, love it
A box of memories and keepsake bullets... this house screams 1000 memories, both beautiful and tragic. Thank you, what a wonderful explore - again x
This is the best one yet! I can see myself living there. It’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a longer video I always think they’re to short.👍👍
Nice job .... thank you . 🙏
So nice to see a place that has not been vandalized. What a gorgeous home. Thanks for your work.
Truly a beautiful home how sad that it's just going to decay with it's own secrets!!😏💕
Oh! Gorgeous! One of the best I've seen so far.
Looks like in the Blue room that, that is Oboe reeds. Or a Bagpipe chanter reeds.
Well I'm hello Leslie..I am also Leslie, however, I'm 70, a retired expat in NYC after working around the world as a single lady and have decided to continue on with my personal journey down to Oaxaca MX.soon. Intriguing channel, and I've enjoyed your insight.There is a human story behind every decaying building.Architecture is a human ongoing art-life that is complex,surprising and always very different.Bravo,great vlog idea .
It's a candle wick trimmer, not a garlic crusher.
It is not a candle wick trimmer. It does not trim the wick, it blows off the candle altogether (« moucher la chandelle »).
Oo wow thank you, I would have never guessed
I agree,
my Grandfather used one
@@gailschaeffer323 people still use them today, bcuz if you blow candles out, in a nicer home, you splatter wax all over the place. You have to snuff them out. You'll just blow blow blow like a minimalist and splatter wax all over the floor and walls. Down with minimalism!
Up with maximalism!
I absolutely love this house. Thankyou for doing such a good job of filming it. One of the reasons it looks so great is that many of the things were arranged by an artist. I would feel quite at home in this place. Please go back & film the outbuildings & the bits that were missed such as the conservatory & the bedroom with the dark blue carpet with oriental motifs on, plus more of what is around the house.
My question is how do you just walk away from beautiful homes like this??? So much history some of these homes have. I would love to just move in to one of these homes and never leave.
Inheritance taxes, usually
This has to be one of my favorite places you have explored!
So beautiful !! What a shame to leave it .
I would take it a heartbeat ! 💕
Again, if banks, families or whomever is in charge of this place would just fix the roof. It would solve a lot of problems. Water damage is the worst damage of all.
I agree Donna, in most abandoned places this is the main reason that it deteriorates...
So beautiful, like going back in time...would love to live there.
Indeed Correct, on every one of these fabulous Homes, the Roof, and windows.
Start a GoFundMe or Charity...
One project at a time.
Call it: Roof's for Ruins
😉😂
Amazing! One of my favorite videos. Great job! Thanks for keeping me entertained during covid-19. I love seeing your amazing abandoned mansions. I will never understand why families would leave such treasures behind.
I agree with a previous comment regarding "no dust; someone is maintaining this place." It does look staged.
In the room with the pink bed, there was a box with the brand name "Pioneer" which is a brand or type of 20th century stereo radio and/or music playing appliance.
Agreed
Thank you for showing this lovely place , beautiful furniture, really enjoyed it Thanks Lesley x
