Finally, this long-awaited video will premiere today! First of all, I want to let you know I feel awful for letting you wait for this long. I did all my efforts to finish this video in time, which obviously worked out well, but because of multiple export errors every time I could not manage to upload the video. It is getting very hard to keep everyone pleased with two videos a week and the current laptop I use to make these videos. Currently, I'm saving money so I can buy a new and better laptop which will make things less complicated. For instance, it took 16 hours to export this video on my laptop. It's a very time-investing part and that's why this video is so delayed and you all had to miss Saturday's upload. But... there is also good news. This will be the longest video ever on the channel. So make sure to grab enough popcorn as I will be live-chatting with everyone tomorrow at 3 PM CET / 9 AM ET. On top of that, our Abandoned Spain Series will be launching soon as well. Take care, much love to you all and thank you for waiting
Hi dear friends, don't worry, you are always doing so well, and we as viewers can just simply sit, relax and enjoy your videos! Just stay safe and take care, dear friends from the always winning team Explomo!! - Much love and kind regards.
I'm a 60yr old woman, on my son's computer to watch your videos. I LOVE WATCHING YOU GUYS!! I've spent many years working and caring for my family, including a severely developmentally delayed son. We aren't able to travel much, certainly not far away, so I'm traveling and adventuring through you. I enjoy your friendship together , your personalities and the joy you have for life and respect for others. Traveling to Portugal was beautiful (I had no idea the beauty!) and Danny was wonderful answering questions about the culture and customs. I do enjoy learning about other cultures, as the USA is very young and anything 100yrs old here we call an "antique"! We do not have buildings and craftsmanship anything like what you show us. Keep up the good work boys!
We most certainly do! I am so sorry you were not able to enjoy you're own country in that way. That is terribly sad. My grandfathers brought some of those beautiful lessons in architecture and such with them and put it to work in building churches in America, among other things. I have lots of the little things kept for my family.. and yes, over 100 years old. You are right tho 'antiques' are 75 years or older here. I have books and furniture and blankets and other things older than that that we still use. And you'll find many cities in America have that if you take the time to look for it. I sure wish you would have. I travel a lot here and we have some cool stuff. But yes, this guy makes a good video. No doubt about it. Love the detail. And the ppls enthusiasm. I was just sorry your clan didn't carry it's history with them and left such a bad taste in your mouth for the beauty and age of things that your country does have.
@@True_Joker This is Christine, Derek's mom. I'm sorry if you took my statement as a lack of travel in the USA, I was in the military myself for 12yrs and, although I was born and raise in SF Bay Area, I've lived on the East Coast, as well as in the South (went to HS in San Antonio TX), and have traveled much in between, as my father was also military and civil service. I'm very well traveled inside my own country, much less so abroad. We do, certainly, have "bits and pieces" of craftsmanship here, mostly brought over from Europe, but do to the fact we live in a country that tends to demolish and rebuild, as apposed to the expense of maintaining old buildings and structures (most of which here are but a couple hundred yrs old, at best), as we simply lack the skills and the desire to hold onto history, in general, especially if it costs $$. Much of the older structures we have here on the west coast are from the days when Mexico owned this land, or buildings designed to mimic that period. Churches are always the exception, due to the lavish budgets that they tend to have. Modern design is typically, imo, budget driven, not looking to the future and withstanding centuries of existence. Of course, we're babies in the scope of world history, the USA, so it's all we have to go on. Even here, in San Francisco, we have some of our older buildings that survived the Big One in 1906, but not much. When I say "old", I'm talking about buildings and structures that are many hundreds of yrs old. I do believe after spending 12yrs of my life serving my country, I'm just a tad bit offended that you could even suggest that anything I said in the paragraph above even remotely implied a single thing about my "clan", or that my country leaves a "bad taste in my mouth", those are your words, and they have NOTHING to do with the travels and explorations of another country that has been around for many centuries longer than the USA, and my desire to experience those things, and the joy it brings to others on the journey with them. So please keep your judgements about my "feelings" regarding US history, aside from the slavery thing and the massacring of the American Native population, oh and let's not forget the endless killing of black Americans on city streets in states from West to the East Coast, and the Northern boarder down to our Southern boarder, it's far more our PRESENT that concerns me, HOWEVER that is an entirely separate conversation. If you'd like to send me a message on Derek's page, you may do so and we can continue with our discussion about America's greatness, or lack there of.
@@derekwalters4980 interesting.. and a jump off in a direction I didn't go. But sure. I guess having come from a military family myself your statements surprise me doubly so. I didn't really mean to offend, however it goes.. as far as Dareks page.. i assume you mean facebook? I don't wish to fight with u over anything. I don't even wholly disagree with u. On most points your correct. If anything I'd hope to show some of America's beauty. You can hate on her but as u pointed out she's young. And as if those other country's haven't had all those same bloody histories. She's still worth shining up. And if you served than I'd like to think you think so too. I'm not trying to assume anything and if you want a discussion than I'll take it where ever u wish, but not if it's just about having a pc finger pointing whatever that most ppl end up in online. I'm not much interested in that.
@@derekwalters4980 it's interesting what u said about churches, too. And you're right. My family owned construction companies and churches was where the money was at and how my grandfather made his fortune and learned the most beautiful arts.
If you needed 30 hours to make this video the way that you wanted it to be, I would watch every minute of it. You have such a grace about you, such a presence in how you narrate and yet you are so respectful and gentle as you explore. Be well and live well.
You did an excellent job filming this house! Don’t make them short! Keep making them long because it really helps show every detail! Glad I found your channel!
yes..never rush through..you can always set the iphone down when you want to use both hands..we won't mind\;:} would have loved to have seen the view from the upstairs windows.. and also...you didn't check all the cabinets...but we sure loved every minute, and could easilyy have watched more. Thank-you...you are definitely an old soul for caring. and love the suggestion of making it into a homeless shelter. You are an intelligent young man. Will definitely keep watching:}
No one in their right mind would ever want you to skip through the many items you present, anyone that got bored would never appreciate the many items there is to look at. I love old things and have collected many items in my 70 plus years. I enjoy the places you take me to, they remind me of my childhood. It brightens up my heart to see young people taking an interest in History and the study of how other people lived. I only wished I had enough money to save each of the places you and others have shown. I did not expect to see so much survive the wars, and it is a struggle to save what we can so that in another 200 years or more others can see and appreciate the fine things that made so many people happy.
I'm in my late 40's and have had a love and reverence for old things and the histories that they hold. I collect old things and cherish each one. My adult children share my love for them as well, along with my 9 year old granddaughter. These old, beautiful, and special things simply cannot be replicated or replaced nowadays. The time, care, and craftsmanship involved in creating or building them is found very few and far between. Guests always comment that my home could be confused with a museum , but they tell me how much they love it none-the-less. I don't care for pricey, "fussy-pretentious" antiques, but oh how I do love antique furniture, ornate mirrors, random, quirky, beautiful things that are hand carved, and are full of attention to detail. 😊
Just came across your video today. My wife and I watched it in its entirety and it was amazing. Being American, we do not see things anywhere near this old in our country. To watch you go slowly step by step through this literal museum of treasures of the past is better than anything on tv nowadays. Keep up the awesome videos!!
I too am from America. Whenever I view abandoned places I always choose to watch abandoned places mostly in Europe. I love the history, nostalgia and century old mansions, chateaus and castles as they are amazing. Thank you for sharing your epic adventures with us. I do not mind the long videos as long as they are interesting.
Same here, but I'm from Australia, another young country that doesn't really envelope history. I'm in Perth, we have the prison, roundhouse and a few others, built by the convicts, but not much. Again, preferring to pull down, rather than preserve. Or if not pulled down entirely, the facade is left with new modern buildings, behind😒😒😒 Such a shame...even though our countries are young, Perth has lost a lot of 'period' architecture.... You have to start somewhere...leave the history😒👍🧡🇦🇺
The detail that you provide is astonishingly beautiful. Please, do not cut the videos shorter. If anything, go into more detail if you can. There is a very surreal feeling I have after watching and it is almost as if I have been dreaming. That feeling that leaves one with a desire to get back to the dream that has just ended. It is difficult to explain but it is as if I were there and which leaves me with a sense of wanting to return to a better time that is so long ago and lost.
I get that feeling when I look at all black-and-white films for some reason, I feel like I’ve been there before, or that was the era I was supposed to be in, like back in the 1920s it’s really weird, I like it but then it’s kind of creepy at the same time you know what I mean?
Try to live in the now, it is your duty. Your time is now. Not in the past. You didn’t have other lives but fake memories. I’m an historian and I know exactly your feeling and why you have these impressions, but they are no good.
@@dragonmartijn Are you afraid these people have realized how much more beautiful the world use to be before much of the evidence like this of an advanced and majestic world was destroyed. You will not be able to keep people from awakening from their sleep that has been plagued by lies about this realm, who we are, and what happened to those people. It is already known that a thousand years of history has been hidden from us and in this documentary of an old world mansion there was plenty of evidence for that. At the 47:48 mark a portrait of a man is displayed with the year i693. The i means in the year of our Lord, proving that they have written in a thousand years to history by changing the i to a 1 instead to cover up the time in our history when for one thousand years the Lord reigned here and we are now living in the time after that when Satan the deceiver was loosed and the Lord returned to heaven with the raptured saints. Hint: They are currently announcing another reset.
A chateau this beautiful with all the antiques, I personally would like a view of everything. I do not mind the length of time. I'm utterly fascinated. Thank you very much for sharing with all of us.
I am totally gobsmacked by the beauty of the portraits, the letters dating back to 16th century etc. My husband and I were blown away by the fact that its just left for time to swollen up. These fine paintings, artifacts all need to be loving restored and put on display in a museum somewhere, everyone can then enjoy their beauty and history. Thank you for showing us, and the detail you go into to make it more exciting 👍 take care and stay safe.
I absolutely enjoy how you are young but you exhibit an old soul. Your interest in the history of these homes and your thoroughness in your tours of them is truly appreciated. I enjoyed this no matter the length. I can see I am not the only one who doesn’t mind the length of the video. Many like you explore these homes a little too quickly, sometimes it’s understandable but thank you for taking time to show us this home. A lot of us will probably never get the chance to actually go to a home like this.
Be lovely if the local community apply to get funding to get a board of directors to manage this property. The land record could contact the current owner & make an offer to keep it for posterity.
he Decay Bros had already done a video on this Chateau about a week before. I find your videoing much better. You look into a lot of things and have a good look not just skim over it. There was rooms I hadn't seen before. Your video's are more detailed. Keep up the good work.
The fact that letters and documents which are that old survived and are in semi decent condition is MIND blowing to me. Who knows how many older document there were!? Great video!
Oh my goodness this is totally amazing. Hundreds of years of lives all mishmashed together. Those glass photographs!! Those LETTERS!! I want to hold each paper and read them all!! Thank you so much for creating this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 kudos to you for the great respect you show to these old homes and their contents 💗🌟
Maureno you are an old soul wise beyond your years. I, like you, feel that these places should be saved or repurposed so that others may have a place to live. Life is just to short and its not about how much you have. Its about living, its about helping others, its about love and family. This grand home made me happy and yet sad. I could just see a huge family in here. The special times they had. You see the past you see present and wish in the future it is preserved to its former glory. So much history, so much beauty!!! Thank you so much for this!!
Those boxes and boxes of letters and documents should be turned over to a historical library so they can be read and documented for history. I would love to know about what they contain. I would love to watch a documentary about it.
@@jenniverse5086 Have to agree there, my thoughts exactly. I noticed a lot off outhouses would have loved to see what was there uses, I could watch so much more of this and wish he did a part 2, as so much was missed.
I would love to see it bought and displayed like a museum, but I don't think a documentary would take place as a lot of private collectors would have taken most of the valuable items and it would be ruined. That's only one of the cons of making a video of an expensive abandoned place that you can just wander into.
No you keep them untill you find someone worthy. I don't trust those museums etc. to put anything out in the world, that's for the peoples benefit. JMHO Your video was great I got sent over by a diadact video. Really cool stuff you found in that very own mansion Thanks for sharing it. Oh, I subbed and hit the bell! Blessing, vicki Missouri, USA
@@arvink2163 the scientific places, historical too; find all things from antiquity that people find and go to the trouble of notifying them,, to be lied to by them. And they disappear under the Vatican or the the big museum. Never to be heard of again. So don't tell where you got them, get the articles out, seal all you can and find someone trustworthy to help you sort it out. Vicki
The piece of art, as you described it, over the 1st fireplace is an elaborate door lock to something. The keyhole is in the middle, and the key is hanging in the upper left of the elaborate locking mechanism. From all of the early period mechanical objects you pointed out throughout the castle showed that a previous owner had a keen interest in such objects. Great video! Well done!
My goodness! What an amazing piece of work you have done my friend! Please do not shorten these videos! I could watch this forever! Absolutely love it! Thank you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♂️💖
Oh my goodness! This explore was absolutely fantastic! All of those OLD letters and portraits. I believe a lot of the very old looking furniture was the time of beginning of the castle! Oh and that wig! This one guys, was so jaw dropping! I was like....😳 all the way through the video, and yes, most definitely show in detail. For me that's the true meaning of exploring and especially a find such as this one. And the bathroom! The throne of all thrones!..lol that was just amazing! And those stove pipes were really cool and very creative. This should be made into a hystorial museum, hands down...I so enjoyed it. Thanks ~~
Marie Antoinette was born in 1755. That would be in the 18th century. Just as the 1900s is the 20th century. Thanks for the great exploration/adventure.
Love your showing all the details so please don't stop. This is a beautiful place and all the furniture, tapestries and all the old letters from so far back in time. They should be preserved. Thank you for showing this wonderful place.
OMG so very huge and very beautiful from the outside.So many antiques etc so much of crokery the white wig may have belonged to a judge.Looks like a man lived last in the castle as lot of man's clothing around.Wish u could get more details about the last family who lived there.Thanks for all the details of the castle.Enjoyed watching the long video
Hi from Missouri. I love the details you put into your videos. Length isn’t a problem. You show us so much and at a speed I can follow. I get frustrated when the camera just whips around. I see nothing but yours are such a pleasure. I am 74 and am not able to get out a lot. You have made my days go by quickly and not quite so lonely thank you
Wow and again Wow!!! That is definitely the word for this film! yes it was like watching a brilliantly made film!! the music, commentary it was amazing. Well done, you worked very hard on this and it shows! Just want to say a big thank you, bet I'm not the only one that thinks this!!! xxx
@ABANDONADOS E ESQUECIDOS Thankyou I have just subscribed to your video channel also! Yippee! I love these type of videos & will view yours when I finish this one!
No you are not alone. I'm retired Radio in USA- that s is how Urban Explorers should work. I loved it all and The space see use of music effect was perfect.
The more details the better! You did perfectly! Those who want can fast forward while the rest of us can emerse ourselves in your experience. Well done!!!!
When you reach the attic level you can see a structural detail that used to be common in the 18th century and even the early 19th. Thomas Jefferson used the technique at Monticello. It's called brick nogging - shallow arches between timber joists. the top of the bricks can be filled with either mortar or sand and the floor surface is, apparently, tile in this case. But wood could be used as well. . . It must make for a more fireproof and sound proof floor. The rest of the floors throughout the house are probably built the same way. When you walked around, my guess is the floors didn't squeak or vibrate. In the 19th century when Iron was much easier to produce in large amounts, the brick nogging would span between iron beans.. .
I wanted to let you know that I have watched other videos of this castle done by others. Your video and the way you present things is by far better than any of the others. Keep up the fantastic work!!
The length of this video was rocking awesome! It was like going to a movie, loved this one with all the description… May you be blessed with all good things!❤️❤️❤️
Details are great! It doesn't matter how long the video is. There is SO much to see in this castle!! You do a great job of presenting everything and your commentary is respectful, yet calm and showing an appropriate level of wonder. Some RUclips explorers are kind of crass in their comments, gushing with their reactions and making childish and stupid jokes as they walk through abandoned homes. You, in contrast, are able to hold the camera in a steady way, your voice is calm and pleasant and your videos are very dignified, which luxurious homes like these seem to call for. Thank you!
Too long? Not for me! I used to visit abandoned houses when I was younger like you kids but I'm 62 years of age now can't walk very well so I feel like I'm with you LOL. Please stay safe! I really love all of your videos!
The machine you described, the one with the large round rollers is not used to dry clothing, or to wring water from clothing. It is called a "mangle". It is used to iron sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, and the occasional shirt. I am 80 years old and I remember the maids using them. The bed linen and the table linen were always pressed. You will not find them in the common house, but in the larger mansion, castle, or chateau. I don't like to act like a know it all, but I do remember the mangle being used. I love the videos, and the exploration you bring. I don't get out much, and you are great company for me.
I’m in absolute awe! It’s as if nothing has been thrown away since the place was built. Everything just been kept. Truly amazing. Haven’t enjoyed an explore so much as this one. Thankyou!
What’s going to happen to this! This must be saved, the items, the old letters and documents are so important! Please, go to the gouvernment to have it safed! Is it not known who’s property this is?
Im 13 min. Into the video...the "art" above the fireplace is actually a lid to a gold chest. What you are looking at is the underside of the lid. They had one, sometimes 2 key access. The key holes where always hidden. Usually 4 deadbolts...sometimes 6. I think i saw this one had 4....but i have to rewatch video. Extremely, extremely rare find!
The attraction to your videos is indeed the detail you go into, it doesn't matter how long it runs, this magnificent castle deserved every minute. You are taking people on a journey of discovery and we want to experience everything. All I can say is thank you so much for all your hard work and keep them coming.
I appreciate the time you take to thoroughly explore and share what you find. I'd much rather the video be long and show me all there is to see. I'm never bored.
The length of your videos and you guys showing all the details are the exact reasons, why you are my absolute favourite explorers. I've seen this château before by other explorers, but without you, I would've not known about the 500 year old documents or the sensational wig!!!
Fantastic explore. I didn't mind the length because you were doing such a thorough exploration and what wonderful things you showed. I would think that the 400 year old letters would be of some historical value. It was 400 years ago that the Mayflower set sail for America. Really enjoyed this. Thanks!!!
Found your channel from AutoDidactic. Your presentation is a step into the past that made me feel nostalgic for the beauty of past architecture. The documents you found were stunning. The French government should intervene into saving the documents that the Baron kept. The antiquetech electrical components and "fireplace" were of great interest. Your voice and command of your language is mature and professional. Thank you for the trip through this beautiful house.
Be still my heart..... I stumbled across this video and am SO glad that I clicked on it! I truly loved that you took your time, explored every nook and cranny, and gave great care to leave everything just as you found it. I could get lost in this beautiful Chateau for days and days just exploring, and finding all of the treasures and imagining the history that it holds within it's beautiful walls. I have since I was even a child, had such a great admiration for historical architecture, homes, furnishings, and antiques. My heart aches at the thought of this great beauty and it's treasures deteriorating and being lost forever. You did a beautiful job taking us with you on your journey through this home. Thanks, from the southern United States!
These french homes with historical documents are even more important than my home of England because of the French Revolution and the loss of those important family's lost to time..any documents from that period are gold.
I think this is my favorite place you've been. What I loved the most is the old documents. They belong in a museum. Or even sold for a lot of money. Historians would have a field day! Bellows can still be bought in America for fireplaces. It is a common purchase. Not just atiques. I loved all the curves on the stove pipes. Even though the stoves were similar there were no pipes two alike! I am just shocked how EVERYTHING is left behind. Clothing, hygiene products, food, medicine, photographs, etc. It just breaks my heart to think the people just got up one day and left. All those bedrooms and I saw only 3 bathrooms. I love seeing the servants quarters. I think I have a servant in a past life! It seems like it wouldn't take too much to renovate as there is not a lot of decay. One last comment. It looks like you are alone Maureno. As a mother and grandmother it bothers me to see you explore alone. You could be hurt and no one know it. Please be careful and take care of yourselves.
Amazing video!!! I'm a french canadian, the old letters you found in the boxes are written in old french. From what I can read they're about land titles/propriety and woods. :) Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to translate for you! It'd be my pleasure!
Accidentally clicked on ur profile and I saw u had a video from 8 years ago and u joined in 2007 and this is gonna make u realize how much time flies but You’ve been on RUclips longer than of my siblings have been Alive I was like 5 when u made RUclips 😭😂
I love how much detail and time you took to look around. I also love how much Knowledge you have and the respect you show for the items when you explore. I greatly enjoyed this video. I hope someone sees this and tries to buy and restore that wonderful treasure of history. That castle doesn't deserve to rot away.....
Those were not photographs in the wooden box but glass 'Magic Lantern' slides. Which were put into an old fashioned projector called a 'Magic Lantern'. They were used in Victorian times & the early 1900s.. Often a candle was used inside to provide the light & there were lenses to project the slides onto a screen. Ingenius methods could be used to make pictures move & change & provide a beautiful show, with magical effects. My grandmother, born at the beginning of the twentieth century told me she really loved them as a child. This was used to provide a treat for children at christmas, or other special times but sometimes also for teaching & religious purposes. There is probably a Magic Lantern there too as there appears to be several sets of slides. Quite likely, in the past, the rich & important people living in the castle, may have provided a show to local village children at christmas. They may even have provided a party with food & presents for the children of the many people their estate would have employed
I watch a lot of videos on abandoned houses, I’m obsessed. But this one has kept my attention the entire time. It feels sincere and not staged . You’ve done a phenomenal job. And I love listening to you speak English, just like your exploration skills your English is methodical and precise ❤️
Those devices are not clocks, they are called Wimshurst machines from the 1800’s, which are electrostatic generators. Very cool you found those there. 😎 👍
Do the winshurst machines make electricity? Fascinating information, thankyou for letting us know - I will look them up to read about what they are etc 👍👏
I was wondering what if someone just appear in front of them. That’s magical and tragic too that owner left the place to decay it. Letter found from 1495, its mesmerisingly beautiful and filled with melancholy as well. I hoped you could’ve asked from the neighbours about the history of the castle. 💖
@@patrickkatie @Lori, IMO there’s a reason why these people didn’t need or want this amazing castle to get robbed by the local government thieves. These former residents were royal & its not abandoned forever. These people have so much money & power. Which is the only reason the palace is still in working condition & the roof has not caved in. If the electricity & water are still on, then someone is paying the Bill. Don’t believe me, Just stop paying your electric Bill and see how long the power stays on? Ya know ✌🏽
If this was twice as long I would watch every second and still be disappointed when it ended! The way you treat everything with great respect is wonderful. Please keep doing them exactly the same!
You cannot imagine how costly this is... and often they are situated in small places with little budget. It’s tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundeds...
If someone lived in it and worked on it it wouldn’t be as expensive. This place looks mostly cosmetic damage. Clean it out, rewire electricity, fix roof, those are the biggest expenditure. Then you can do it your self. Best thing is the halls have doors and could be closed.
The writing was so well done, even if it would need an calligraphy expert to understand it. The paperwork really should be in a sterile museum or University, where academics could study it & safeguard it all from fires, dust & insects. Thankyou for wearing gloves in your tour of this amazing piece of preserved history.
Theres usually a lot of historical references and information about the area and what was happening there. I think theyd be fascinating and informative!
People ! Ok I’m a avid self taught collector guru. Here is my ‘’ take / eye’’- first off the ‘’ iron art’’ over fireplace is a very very old 1700 ? 1800 ? SAFE DOOR ! that’s the intricate inside lock mechanism . There’s a key there and you can see two heavy hinges . Very very old and valuable 100,000 $ . The chandeliers / sconces all super super historical French European stuff. Highly potentially that the colored glass fruit ones are Lalique, Tiffany , etc. depending on age and rarity a single chandelier could fetch 500,000 $. The other lights 100,000 $ for all maybe tons more . The electrical devices most likely scientific teaching tools . 1400s ? 1600s ? Manuscripts and technical scientific documents and books . Incredibly valuable , sky’s the limit . The way so many oil paintings 🖼, probably of the family . But if 1400s 1600s etc very valuable ! Plus all the oils and due to extreme age of other items in the home. The possibility of uncovering a century’s old masterpiece oil painting ( millions to tens of millions ) , could not be higher ! Each fireplace mantle 10-25-50,000$ each or more. The silk drape super valuable 5-10,000 each pair. Each fire stove 3-5,000$ each , stove andirons 2,000$ each, tub and old pipe controls 15,000. Btw the thing on wall by shower is a hot water heater wild wild contraption ! Works off coal stove ? Probably worth 5,000$ cause it’s so rare and cool. Some of the China figures could be special make /valuable. The simple wood “religious ‘’ figures , to me looked like maybe really really really old Russian icon religious figures . Mucho valuable. Incredibly valuable when some of these date back to 1500s , 1600s , it’s actually simply incredible to find an object that old. The fire place accessory’s and fireback plates worth probably 25,000$ for all . Tons of more examples . Some of the oldest oldest stuff and valuable , would tend to look like complete trash in there. You have to know what your looking at . And where to look can be key 🔑. And finally the little little tiny ‘’bronze bust’’ , you said was a kids ‘’ toy ‘’. Well , my first thought was- is that bust a tiny RODAN ? If it is , it’s a 98,000$ toy or possibly a 675,000 $ toy. And yes I cried when you did not pick it up and look for a makers name ! Literally cried ! These are my honest off the cuff guesses. Who knows,the actual true value of it all. I didn’t consider carpets ....nor what looked like a holy grail alligator hermes bag ? 50,000 $ for that ! Ha great video length was needed.
gah! -- I was looking for a comment like this! -- you know so much more than I do! I'm SO CURIOUS -- what would be the "Some of the oldest oldest stuff and valuable , would tend to look like complete trash in there" -- ??? -- like what?!? -- please, do tell! - he hasn't explored THE OUTSIDE BUILDINGS I had the same feelings, when he didn't pick up that tiny bronze bust -- I didn't immdiately think "Rodin", but --just felt like it was "SOMETHING"-- omg -- I just looked again, and - you have A GREAT EYE-- it DOES carry the characteristic "adding-to" technique of Rodin. ....wow -- I'm impressed by your eye and expertise! Damn!
All the worth that’s inside this castle within the antiques, chinaware, silverware, Crystal glasses, paintings and everything else.. A small amount of this could pay for the restoration of the body of the castle. Then leave it as it is ‘The castle where time stopped’, open to the public for viewing to generate regular income to keep it alive! It’s so so sad that all of this beauty is locked away behind boarded up windows and doors 😥
That is what I was thinking. That was some sort of safe door as it looked like an intricate locking mechanism inside, then you see the key. Wow $100,000. It is a same these relics are just left, they should be in a museum for all to see.
This is not favourite chateu by its decoration. But, those Antique letters, paintings, Antique books, sciences tools are really blow my mind. I've never seen a castle with this valuable things before. Okay, We've seen castle with lots of Antique and valuable paintings or even statues, but how many we see castle with original letters and books in well preserved dated back to 16 or even 15th century in such an abandoned place?! Man, this really blow my mind. This things belongs to museums nowadays. Love this video. Oh, Moreno.. I don't even mind if you make more than an hour video for this kind of place. It's worth to watch.
First of all I love your channel! I love the way you spend time and look through a lot of different things.... Seeing those letters/documents dated all the way back to the 1400s? Priceless! I know it's not the same being there, but the way you explore the rooms and what they contain I can easily enjoy it very much, vicariously through your channel! So to answer your question: " Please continue exploring the way you explored this Mansion/ Manor.
I love the time you take to show historical castles.i feel like I'm walking in an imaginal place. thank you for respecting the things that once belonged to past lives
12:40 coming from a german viewer - the letter wasn't by a friend, it was from a german porcelain shop owner directed to the owner of the castle who seemed to have bought something. she said that she's sorry because something that he bought was broken so she sent him the refund. by the way the shop still exists to this day like wow! it's near nuremberg.
The last resident(s) might have been removed for health and safety reasons. So they closed the castle, no reason for removing the items, they assume it would be safe from vandalism. I believed once their home was video taped by Explorers, they decided to take action. This castle is huge, beautifully preserved. I would probably be sitting down, enjoying visuals of this historical beauty. The electricity still on, tells me, it isn't abandoned any longer. Those ladders indicate renovations or repairs. Look at that staircase, made of metal? Definitely unique. 400 hundred years of history, who wouldn't want to walk through this Time Capsule.
Searching for urbex before few months I have found a photo of that yellow salon and everything was covered with white sheets and neatly assembled. It seams that who ever owned or still owns this chateau didn't just left the place to rot but has plans or had plans to return back. It seems that looters have stolen certain amount of valuables but it's still in decent condition.
I love the details, I just wondering what happened to the people who lived there, so many personal things left behind, I just wonder why? Very sad to see so precious belongings left like this......
@@corinatrian.2073 Some people believe that they have time. Others don’t want to think about getting older or sick. They don’t make plans for the future. Unfortunately, they don’t trust others to responsibly manage their estate, especially if they don’t have close friends or children.
@@GMAMEC yes, but there are times that they have children and grandchildren and they don't care about their photos, the closets are full of garments, the cabinets are full of everything, why they don't go there to empty the house and share the things, when my mother died I give her clothes to the church and I give away things that I don't need. Some people seems don't care about anything, I don't criticise I just wonder why?
I love when you take your time in these beautiful castles, who could get bored learning all of OUR history, I thank you for your videos, not only to have the knowledge of things bit where they are located and a beautiful conversation with family, so please don't cut any footage or look for exquisite materials. Again thank you so much.
The respect you show is outstanding! My favorite is the pipes from the stoves. They are almost like an art piece. Those letters & the portraits really need to be turned over to an historian. As for the length it’s great! I don’t like when people rush through these places. I understand why, but, I appreciate the time you took. So, thank you very much for this video!
Most treasured place I ve Ever seen .i been watching u all 4 a long while..Sweet.Love detail.LOVE HISTORY thats locked n there.Amazing Job..Thx 4 another great journey..😃
I love all the lil details - please always take as much time as you need !! I love exploring with you ! It amazes me and gives great sadness to see so many nice things and homes just left to waste - but I do still thoroughly enjoy going through them with you ! Wishing I could be you
Also you've remind me continuously about items and events that my mother or grandmother participated in or had, some I've enjoyed when I was young and forgotten about. This makes me happy, it brings back special memories and then I share them with my children and call my mom and discuss it. She's 90 and has lived through some crazy things and you don't think to talk about it, until someone like you triggers those times. So please continue with all the details! 🥰
I certainly did nt mind the length of the film I was glued to the screen in amazement. I still can't get over the letters going back centuries,ypu boys are really the best in Urbex.i can't wait to order my merchant hoodie tommorow so I can show off your name with pride.Thankyou so much I really loved everything xxx much love from us here in wales xxx
This was an amazing place! The attic could have been used as the play room so the children would be safe inside, but far enough not to be heard if they had visitors. An amazing violin to be left to decay. It's never easy seeing things left behind to decay, but when it's a musical instrument it breaks my heart to know we'll never again hear it's beautiful sound. Great job Maureno, always a pleasure to watch your explores. 🙋♀️💜🇺🇸
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I absolutely loved it! I really enjoy the commentary as you are exploring it. I hope that someone from the original family will reach out and get all of those old documents from the 15th to 18/19th century. Love your video. Definitely be watching more! Thank you for hard work!
The painting you said was 1673... Was actually 673. Here's why: The abbreviation "i" (i673) is of the name “Iesous/Iesus” and stands for "Year of our Lord, Iesous". It was typical for Roman Latin inscriptions as back then, there was no "J" for "Jesus" until the late 1800's. The painting was 673 in the year of Iesous. Also, the inscription Etatis SVU is now spelled aetatis suae It's an inscription to denote the (specified) year of his/her year of portrait.
@@davidjames666 Believe the narrator who just read it off a painting instead of somebody who knows more on the subject? You could've easily deduced that from the i's in the words looking the same as what comes before the numbers 693, it's not a 1. The stupidity...
@@Neffins yes, the stupidity. I mean I even had a smily face at the end of my statement. Maybe you did not see that? in addition to the extremely ridiculously overly sarcastic statement. I mean what more did you need to see to realize I was joking? I just don’t get it. Maybe your underwear are also too tight? BTW “Let’s go Brandon”
@@davidjames666 Nothing about your initial comment implies sarcasm, people use smiley faces all the time on the internet regardless of their intended emotion, not to mention that people wildly differ in which context they use any of them. But sure, guess it was sarcasm then.
Yes, apparently they have added non-existing 1000 years to our history, hence "dark ages". Of course there won't be any history to imaginary 1000 years. #Tartaria #Mudflood
Thank you for being you. The respect you show is wonderful. Your voice is soothing , I enjoy your adventures, this one most of all. From South Dakota good wishes from an old woman.
I love the more detailed explores, I could watch your explores for hours. We wouldn’t of seen those old letters and bits and pieces like Lego and drawings. What a gorgeous place, love this! Xx
There must be some legalities involved I am sure. Maybe there is a time limit on finding relatives that could inherit it all or maybe it now belongs to the city and there are time limits there also before they can do anything.
Is there any update on the items from this house? Even those old papers need to be read and put in a museum! The French government should be ashamed for penalizing families and let this happened to the history in their country!
My first time finding this adventure, I'm with you Dinah Jackson, I see the question is awhile back, how do they keep people out of coming and taking everything? Program is amazing! If there is an answer, please share
Wow wow wow this was certainly worth waiting for it was absolutely Awsome I loved it, what a pity it's going to waste it would make a fantastic museum, love you guys keep it up x
Wow. What a long video. Almost 2 hours. 3:19 Security? LOL. I thought this was to be a guided tour, but he is a friend. I see. 4:14 That is a beautiful blliard table. Funny how the main door enters this room. 4:53 That circular object is a Van DeGraph generator. Creates high voltage static electricity. 5:05 Leyden jars. An old way to store electric charge. 5:32 Several electrical scientific instruments from the late 1890s to early 1900s. 7:47 That is where the billiard cue sticks were placed when not in use 10:00 That is a very interesting work of industrial art. I quite like it. 11:08 With double door wardrobes, there is a small catch on the inside to open the 2nd door. 13:56 That is a calculating scale used in shops to quickly show different prices per kilogram 15:38 Japanese. The two top symbols is Ni-Hon meaning "Sun Origin" the symbol for Japan. But the symbols seem to be mirror image. Is your camera reversing the image? The graphic also shows a rising sun. 18:26 The curved exhaust pipes allow more heat to escape into the room rather than up the chimney. 19:58 It is funny how they have 3 forms of heating in this room. The old fireplace, the white furnace with curved pipes and the water radiating heaters. 22:07 Wax seals for envelopes. How strange to see that these days. 27:52 LOL. I thought I had too many plates and glasses. Even the few I have I hardly ever use. 38:10 I think they had too many kitchen things. Perhaps they did not know how to throw away old things. :) 39:03 Those jars probably contain home made jams. The other jars had preserved plums probably. 39:30 A lot of meat grinders to make minced meat. My mother had one many years ago. 40:25 Wealthy people do not care about the poor. They don't even think about them. 42:16 NO WAY! Those glass photo plates should be in a museum or state library. 42:38 Why are these important historic documents not in a state library? This is insane. 50:52 That is such a beautiful chandelier with so many different coloured glass elements. 50:58 Did you see the old style piano in the far corner? 51:38 What a lovely old board game. 52:52 Before you go upstairs... there is NO CELLAR? There must be a wine cellar in this building. 53:30 LOL. I bet the "Brothers of Decay" set that clock in motion when they were there. It is so sad to see a clock telling the time with nobody to see. 58:27 The date on that fireplace is 1677. Is this house that old? 1:03:20 In that child's room I was crying and laughing at the same time. 1:09:28 More books that should be in a state library. They seem in very good condition. 1:10:03 "Grand Dictionnaire Universel du XIXe Siècle" originally published in 1864 is a French encyclopedic dictionary. 1:13:11 Water is not drinkable. 1:14:04 That is called a Top Hat 1:15:39 A long video is great and I love the detail. We can always pause and resume when tired. 1:16:25 to 1:18:15 was beautiful photography especially with the music. 1:24:08 A bidet but no toilet. I wonder why? No sewage plumbing to the upstairs perhaps? 1:29:23 I was wondering when you would find the "Royal Throne Room". LOL 1:29:50 All those blue tiles are unique. I cannot see any two that are the same. 1:37:00 So this is where the servants lived. All these rooms right at the top in the attic. 1:42:10 That is a hand cranked electricity generator. The handle is missing at the front. 1:42:51 Funny how some of the rooms that seem to belong to children have adult clothes in the wardrobes. 1:43:17 That is a very old telephone. A collectors item for sure. 1:44:24 LOL. Freeze frame here and you can see the plastic breast. Blur fail! 1:46:13 More books that should be in a state library or in the rare books section of a university. 1:46:43 That book looks like it was from 1785 !!!!! 1:46:46 Not 16th century. That is "Tim XVII" meaning "Volume 17 VENE - Z" (I don't understand why you don't report these places to an academic institution anonymously) 1:50:42 I wonder if some of the children were initially home schooled up in that attic. Thank you heaps for such a grand exploration. I loved the feature length presentation of this house. I watched it from midnight till almost 4am, pausing, rewatching parts, and making notes. Your video was much better than the other one I saw from this house by the VBrothers of Decay, although theirs was also very, very good.
@@twofeathers5145 ... I am too old to explore these days, and living in Australia makes it less likely since there are virtually no abandoned homes here. They are far to valuable to be left to rot.
Wanted to write the same as you ! But I have a different eye . The “ metal art ‘’ is Not ! It’s a 17th18th century SAFE DOOR ! A grand complication of iron work . You can see key and two hinges. That’s the locking mechanism on inside of door ! Very valuable. Not to mention the potential Louis icart lights tiffany ? Laluique more likely . The chandeliers with candles ? And colored glass ? Potentially extremely valuable. There were two ! 250,000 each . Or the scientific books ? Potentially very valuable . The scientific things were demonstration teaching tools . The tons of very old oil paintings, very very valuable . Every fireplace mantle 25-50,000$ each ! Some valuable ladro ceramic . Alligator vintage Hermès bag ? Museum piece mucho valuable . The other French chandeliers 5-1- 25,000$ a piece ! Same with gold armalou sconces. Even the tiny little bronze “bust ‘ you call a child’s toy 🧸- could be a mini RODAN 50,000 $ bronze . Shocking that you never looked once ? Not once for a signature or makers mark ? You are standing there talking about trinkets , while next to you are treasures, you don’t see or mention. Omg. The ski curtains 10,000 a pair , the old old andirons in s Each fireplace- 2,000$ each . 1400s paperwork omg 😳 loosely there’s 2 million if not five million in rare very very old stuff there .
Omg, I can’t understand how anyone could just leave all that valuable, beautiful and perishable stuff unprotected. I’m also amazed that it hasn’t been looted. I completely understand how people could be in a position where they are unable to afford to continue living in this beautiful place, but surely, if that was the case the first thing you would do is either sell or donate all those incredible things, so they didn’t just rot away. Alternatively, people could come in and steal all that valuable stuff. I mean it’s worth a mint, it breaks my heart.
How awkward would it be if the owners came back as he is found filming..."excuse us, we were on holiday, what are you doing in our house?" 😂 lov the content too!
Well, most of those things were not valueable back then. They only are now because they are old and rare. You also need buyers of course. In an age without ebay and the internet you'll have trouble selling anything, especially when the entire region has been struck by recession.
@@Puschit1 ... In an age without ebay and the internet you'll have trouble selling anything ... How do You mean that ? Things are selling on Ebay for good money - not always, when cheap I am buying of course. Those Chests of Drawers in the big room are around 5000.- eur each, all made around 1780 - 1820. And in high quality - with marquetry, all originals with Bronze handles, in really good shape. Those were very expensive as they were new too ... Interesting how those were not presented at all, someone was extremly fast overflying those, and those are the most worthy in the whole mansion. Most of those paintings - portraits of not known persons are really not much as noone is collecting portraits ... Those huge wall rugs may be even much expensiver.
@@sreckosx What I mean is: The family left centuries ago, at that time ebay didn't exist! Read my comment again and try to put yourself back in time 40+ years. You are broke, maybe the entire region has become poor, nobody in the vicinity is interested in or can afford buying antiques. And many other items you have seen aren't worth anything back then.
@@Puschit1 No, 40 years ago I startet business as antiques dealer. And THEN those chests of drawers were 10.000 - 20.000 DM a piece ... And you could not find any, noone wanted to sell. For 60 years, here in Slovenia Austrian dealers were coming here to Slovenia buying stuff - all, from Candle holders, porcelain, glass, Earthware all kinds of, irons, old postcards, albums with stamps, old Clocks all kinds of, watches - pocket watches too, forks, spoons, knives, furniture ... All that was worthy, mostly much ,more 40 years ago as it is now - last 10 - 15 years prices have dropped, but not on all ... These mansion might be the last living inside died, might be 5 - 10 years ago, and now it is sold or someone inherited it. At the begining of this video stands " THIS IS OLD FOOTAGE - THE CASTLE IS BEING EMPTIED OUT BY THE OWNERS NOW" ... However there are quite some castles in France for sale currently - I don't know if You heard this, but there are whole 60 000 Castles on sale now in france - beeing to expensive to keep them in shape, of course. Friendly Greetings from Slovenia !!
Finally, this long-awaited video will premiere today!
First of all, I want to let you know I feel awful for letting you wait for this long. I did all my efforts to finish this video in time, which obviously worked out well, but because of multiple export errors every time I could not manage to upload the video. It is getting very hard to keep everyone pleased with two videos a week and the current laptop I use to make these videos. Currently, I'm saving money so I can buy a new and better laptop which will make things less complicated. For instance, it took 16 hours to export this video on my laptop. It's a very time-investing part and that's why this video is so delayed and you all had to miss Saturday's upload.
But... there is also good news. This will be the longest video ever on the channel. So make sure to grab enough popcorn as I will be live-chatting with everyone tomorrow at 3 PM CET / 9 AM ET.
On top of that, our Abandoned Spain Series will be launching soon as well.
Take care, much love to you all and thank you for waiting
Its okay. It is very much appreciated. You guys have done so much and no matter when it gets posted it is always a great adventure! Stay safe guys!
❤❤❤❤❤
Always worth the wait
Always excited to watch your channel stay safe always guys God bless us this worthy to watch 👍👍👍✌️✌️👋
Hi dear friends, don't worry, you are always doing so well, and we as viewers can just simply sit, relax and enjoy your videos!
Just stay safe and take care, dear friends from the always winning team Explomo!! - Much love and kind regards.
Don't ever cut them short, your detail is what makes your videos special.
Thanks for your feedback Deb!! Will do so ☺️
This place is too incredible of a find. A short video would never give any of us the opportunity to share in something this wonderful! Thank you!!!
I Think the same !
WOW!! true,,no words cant describe your work,,,u r a gem absolutely,,bro,
Yes! I agree! I love them so much! The more detail and crisp they are the better! 😍🙏
I'm a 60yr old woman, on my son's computer to watch your videos. I LOVE WATCHING YOU GUYS!! I've spent many years working and caring for my family, including a severely developmentally delayed son. We aren't able to travel much, certainly not far away, so I'm traveling and adventuring through you. I enjoy your friendship together , your personalities and the joy you have for life and respect for others. Traveling to Portugal was beautiful (I had no idea the beauty!) and Danny was wonderful answering questions about the culture and customs. I do enjoy learning about other cultures, as the USA is very young and anything 100yrs old here we call an "antique"! We do not have buildings and craftsmanship anything like what you show us. Keep up the good work boys!
We most certainly do! I am so sorry you were not able to enjoy you're own country in that way. That is terribly sad. My grandfathers brought some of those beautiful lessons in architecture and such with them and put it to work in building churches in America, among other things. I have lots of the little things kept for my family.. and yes, over 100 years old. You are right tho 'antiques' are 75 years or older here. I have books and furniture and blankets and other things older than that that we still use. And you'll find many cities in America have that if you take the time to look for it. I sure wish you would have. I travel a lot here and we have some cool stuff. But yes, this guy makes a good video. No doubt about it. Love the detail. And the ppls enthusiasm. I was just sorry your clan didn't carry it's history with them and left such a bad taste in your mouth for the beauty and age of things that your country does have.
@@True_Joker This is Christine, Derek's mom. I'm sorry if you took my statement as a lack of travel in the USA, I was in the military myself for 12yrs and, although I was born and raise in SF Bay Area, I've lived on the East Coast, as well as in the South (went to HS in San Antonio TX), and have traveled much in between, as my father was also military and civil service. I'm very well traveled inside my own country, much less so abroad. We do, certainly, have "bits and pieces" of craftsmanship here, mostly brought over from Europe, but do to the fact we live in a country that tends to demolish and rebuild, as apposed to the expense of maintaining old buildings and structures (most of which here are but a couple hundred yrs old, at best), as we simply lack the skills and the desire to hold onto history, in general, especially if it costs $$. Much of the older structures we have here on the west coast are from the days when Mexico owned this land, or buildings designed to mimic that period. Churches are always the exception, due to the lavish budgets that they tend to have. Modern design is typically, imo, budget driven, not looking to the future and withstanding centuries of existence. Of course, we're babies in the scope of world history, the USA, so it's all we have to go on. Even here, in San Francisco, we have some of our older buildings that survived the Big One in 1906, but not much. When I say "old", I'm talking about buildings and structures that are many hundreds of yrs old. I do believe after spending 12yrs of my life serving my country, I'm just a tad bit offended that you could even suggest that anything I said in the paragraph above even remotely implied a single thing about my "clan", or that my country leaves a "bad taste in my mouth", those are your words, and they have NOTHING to do with the travels and explorations of another country that has been around for many centuries longer than the USA, and my desire to experience those things, and the joy it brings to others on the journey with them. So please keep your judgements about my "feelings" regarding US history, aside from the slavery thing and the massacring of the American Native population, oh and let's not forget the endless killing of black Americans on city streets in states from West to the East Coast, and the Northern boarder down to our Southern boarder, it's far more our PRESENT that concerns me, HOWEVER that is an entirely separate conversation. If you'd like to send me a message on Derek's page, you may do so and we can continue with our discussion about America's greatness, or lack there of.
@@derekwalters4980 interesting.. and a jump off in a direction I didn't go. But sure. I guess having come from a military family myself your statements surprise me doubly so. I didn't really mean to offend, however it goes.. as far as Dareks page.. i assume you mean facebook? I don't wish to fight with u over anything. I don't even wholly disagree with u. On most points your correct. If anything I'd hope to show some of America's beauty. You can hate on her but as u pointed out she's young. And as if those other country's haven't had all those same bloody histories. She's still worth shining up. And if you served than I'd like to think you think so too. I'm not trying to assume anything and if you want a discussion than I'll take it where ever u wish, but not if it's just about having a pc finger pointing whatever that most ppl end up in online. I'm not much interested in that.
@@derekwalters4980 it's interesting what u said about churches, too. And you're right. My family owned construction companies and churches was where the money was at and how my grandfather made his fortune and learned the most beautiful arts.
Like wings on your armchair!
If you needed 30 hours to make this video the way that you wanted it to be, I would watch every minute of it. You have such a grace about you, such a presence in how you narrate and yet you are so respectful and gentle as you explore. Be well and live well.
You did an excellent job filming this house! Don’t make them short! Keep making them long because it really helps show every detail! Glad I found your channel!
Never too long, never boring.
Hey there
That thing on the wall holds the pool cues. Great video. You guys always do a
Good job.
Oh Maureno, please don´t ever rush through the places and continue to show us all the details and little things. I enjoy your explores very much.
yes..never rush through..you can always set the iphone down when you want to use both hands..we won't mind\;:}
would have loved to have seen the view from the upstairs windows.. and also...you didn't check all the cabinets...but we sure loved every minute, and could easilyy have watched more. Thank-you...you are definitely an old soul for caring. and love the suggestion of making it into a homeless shelter. You are an intelligent young man.
Will definitely keep watching:}
No no
@ABANDONADOS E ESQUECIDOS I just checked out that channel unfortunately it's not in English.
No one in their right mind would ever want you to skip through the many items you present, anyone that got bored would never appreciate the many items there is to look at. I love old things and have collected many items in my 70 plus years. I enjoy the places you take me to, they remind me of my childhood. It brightens up my heart to see young people taking an interest in History and the study of how other people lived. I only wished I had enough money to save each of the places you and others have shown. I did not expect to see so much survive the wars, and it is a struggle to save what we can so that in another 200 years or more others can see and appreciate the fine things that made so many people happy.
I'm in my late 40's and have had a love and reverence for old things and the histories that they hold. I collect old things and cherish each one. My adult children share my love for them as well, along with my 9 year old granddaughter. These old, beautiful, and special things simply cannot be replicated or replaced nowadays. The time, care, and craftsmanship involved in creating or building them is found very few and far between. Guests always comment that my home could be confused with a museum , but they tell me how much they love it none-the-less. I don't care for pricey, "fussy-pretentious" antiques, but oh how I do love antique furniture, ornate mirrors, random, quirky, beautiful things that are hand carved, and are full of attention to detail. 😊
I love the respect and reverence you give to the memories and people who once lived there! Your pace, your words, your music are perfect!
Just came across your video today. My wife and I watched it in its entirety and it was amazing. Being American, we do not see things anywhere near this old in our country. To watch you go slowly step by step through this literal museum of treasures of the past is better than anything on tv nowadays. Keep up the awesome videos!!
I'm also in the US and completely agree. We have nothing like that here and what we did have has either been destroyed, stolen or already in a museum.
Me too 😊
I too am from America. Whenever I view abandoned places I always choose to watch abandoned places mostly in Europe. I love the history, nostalgia and century old mansions, chateaus and castles as they are amazing. Thank you for sharing your epic adventures with us. I do not mind the long videos as long as they are interesting.
Same here, but I'm from Australia, another young country that doesn't really envelope history.
I'm in Perth, we have the prison, roundhouse and a few others, built by the convicts, but not much.
Again, preferring to pull down, rather than preserve. Or if not pulled down entirely, the facade is left with new modern buildings, behind😒😒😒
Such a shame...even though our countries are young, Perth has lost a lot of 'period' architecture....
You have to start somewhere...leave the history😒👍🧡🇦🇺
Look up your grandma’s dress and you will.
The detail that you provide is astonishingly beautiful. Please, do not cut the videos shorter. If anything, go into more detail if you can. There is a very surreal feeling I have after watching and it is almost as if I have been dreaming. That feeling that leaves one with a desire to get back to the dream that has just ended. It is difficult to explain but it is as if I were there and which leaves me with a sense of wanting to return to a better time that is so long ago and lost.
I get that feeling when I look at all black-and-white films for some reason, I feel like I’ve been there before, or that was the era I was supposed to be in, like back in the 1920s it’s really weird, I like it but then it’s kind of creepy at the same time you know what I mean?
Try to live in the now, it is your duty. Your time is now. Not in the past. You didn’t have other lives but fake memories. I’m an historian and I know exactly your feeling and why you have these impressions, but they are no good.
@@dragonmartijn Are you afraid these people have realized how much more beautiful the world use to be before much of the evidence like this of an advanced and majestic world was destroyed. You will not be able to keep people from awakening from their sleep that has been plagued by lies about this realm, who we are, and what happened to those people. It is already known that a thousand years of history has been hidden from us and in this documentary of an old world mansion there was plenty of evidence for that. At the 47:48 mark a portrait of a man is displayed with the year i693. The i means in the year of our Lord, proving that they have written in a thousand years to history by changing the i to a 1 instead to cover up the time in our history when for one thousand years the Lord reigned here and we are now living in the time after that when Satan the deceiver was loosed and the Lord returned to heaven with the raptured saints. Hint: They are currently announcing another reset.
I totally agree with you!!!

A chateau this beautiful with all the antiques, I personally would like a view of everything. I do not mind the length of time. I'm utterly fascinated. Thank you very much for sharing with all of us.
I am totally gobsmacked by the beauty of the portraits, the letters dating back to 16th century etc. My husband and I were blown away by the fact that its just left for time to swollen up. These fine paintings, artifacts all need to be loving restored and put on display in a museum somewhere, everyone can then enjoy their beauty and history. Thank you for showing us, and the detail you go into to make it more exciting 👍 take care and stay safe.
I absolutely enjoy how you are young but you exhibit an old soul. Your interest in the history of these homes and your thoroughness in your tours of them is truly appreciated. I enjoyed this no matter the length. I can see I am not the only one who doesn’t mind the length of the video. Many like you explore these homes a little too quickly, sometimes it’s understandable but thank you for taking time to show us this home. A lot of us will probably never get the chance to actually go to a home like this.
I wish they would turn it into a museum. such a waste to let it all just crumble away
Exactly my thoughts also❤️
Could be the family has died away and haven't found extended family members yet,that happened to my family,some heir hunters found us
That would be the best thing for this castle, let it live on by turning it into a museum....☮️♥️💡
Be lovely if the local community apply to get funding to get a board of directors to manage this property. The land record could contact the current owner & make an offer to keep it for posterity.
@@Wysteria-Whisper Not a castle, it is a small country palace!
he Decay Bros had already done a video on this Chateau about a week before. I find your videoing much better. You look into a lot of things and have a good look not just skim over it. There was rooms I hadn't seen before. Your video's are more detailed. Keep up the good work.
The fact that letters and documents which are that old survived and are in semi decent condition is MIND blowing to me. Who knows how many older document there were!? Great video!
Oh my goodness this is totally amazing. Hundreds of years of lives all mishmashed together. Those glass photographs!! Those LETTERS!! I want to hold each paper and read them all!! Thank you so much for creating this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 kudos to you for the great respect you show to these old homes and their contents 💗🌟
I have a daguerreotype of my fourth great grandparents. It’s in pretty close to perfect condition with no scratches or flaws in a union case.
@@kellyhenderson9972 wow that eras TV..imagine the joy someone had using that.
@@Sol-Cutta is a photograph
Maureno you are an old soul wise beyond your years. I, like you, feel that these places should be saved or repurposed so that others may have a place to live. Life is just to short and its not about how much you have. Its about living, its about helping others, its about love and family. This grand home made me happy and yet sad. I could just see a huge family in here. The special times they had. You see the past you see present and wish in the future it is preserved to its former glory. So much history, so much beauty!!! Thank you so much for this!!
Those boxes and boxes of letters and documents should be turned over to a historical library so they can be read and documented for history. I would love to know about what they contain. I would love to watch a documentary about it.
so they can hide them like they do everything else. research Tartaria
@@jenniverse5086 Have to agree there, my thoughts exactly. I noticed a lot off outhouses would have loved to see what was there uses, I could watch so much more of this and wish he did a part 2, as so much was missed.
I would love to see it bought and displayed like a museum, but I don't think a documentary would take place as a lot of private collectors would have taken most of the valuable items and it would be ruined. That's only one of the cons of making a video of an expensive abandoned place that you can just wander into.
No you keep them untill you find someone worthy. I don't trust those museums etc. to put anything out in the world, that's for the peoples benefit. JMHO
Your video was great
I got sent over by a diadact video. Really cool stuff you found in that very own mansion
Thanks for sharing it. Oh, I subbed and hit the bell! Blessing, vicki Missouri, USA
@@arvink2163 the scientific places, historical too; find all things from antiquity that people find and go to the trouble of notifying them,, to be lied to by them. And they disappear under the Vatican or the the big museum. Never to be heard of again. So don't tell where you got them, get the articles out, seal all you can and find someone trustworthy to help you sort it out. Vicki
The piece of art, as you described it, over the 1st fireplace is an elaborate door lock to something. The keyhole is in the middle, and the key is hanging in the upper left of the elaborate locking mechanism. From all of the early period mechanical objects you pointed out throughout the castle showed that a previous owner had a keen interest in such objects. Great video! Well done!
Keep showing all the details. We don't want an overview. Take as long as the house needs. Never bored.
I really hope and pray that a museum gets ALL of those historical documents and books. We cannot lose that history! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely I agree those documents are so very rare, precious it should b saved.
We love the great detail in your longer videos.They are NEVER boring.Wonderful way to preserve these beautiful buildings.Thank you.
My goodness! What an amazing piece of work you have done my friend!
Please do not shorten these videos!
I could watch this forever!
Absolutely love it!
Thank you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♂️💖
Oh my goodness! This explore was absolutely fantastic! All of those OLD letters and portraits. I believe a lot of the very old looking furniture was the time of beginning of the castle! Oh and that wig! This one guys, was so jaw dropping! I was like....😳 all the way through the video, and yes, most definitely show in detail. For me that's the true meaning of exploring and especially a find such as this one. And the bathroom! The throne of all thrones!..lol that was just amazing! And those stove pipes were really cool and very creative. This should be made into a hystorial museum, hands down...I so enjoyed it. Thanks ~~
Marie Antoinette was born in 1755. That would be in the 18th century. Just as the 1900s is the 20th century. Thanks for the great exploration/adventure.
Love your showing all the details so please don't stop. This is a beautiful place and all the furniture, tapestries and all the old letters from so far back in time. They should be preserved. Thank you for showing this wonderful place.
Your guidance and narration are superb. Don't change a thing!
OMG so very huge and very beautiful from the outside.So many antiques etc so much of crokery the white wig may have belonged to a judge.Looks like a man lived last in the castle as lot of man's clothing around.Wish u could get more details about the last family who lived there.Thanks for all the details of the castle.Enjoyed watching the long video
Hi from Missouri. I love the details you put into your videos. Length isn’t a problem. You show us so much and at a speed I can follow. I get frustrated when the camera just whips around. I see nothing but yours are such a pleasure. I am 74 and am not able to get out a lot. You have made my days go by quickly and not quite so lonely thank you
I don’t mind the length of the video more details the better. I love history
Yes! Im from philippines me too o love history.. i love to wach more hiatory than news.
Wow and again Wow!!! That is definitely the word for this film! yes it was like watching a brilliantly made film!! the music, commentary it was amazing. Well done, you worked very hard on this and it shows! Just want to say a big thank you, bet I'm not the only one that thinks this!!! xxx
@ABANDONADOS E ESQUECIDOS Thankyou I have just subscribed to your video channel also! Yippee!
I love these type of videos & will view yours when I finish this one!
No you are not alone. I'm retired Radio in USA- that s is how Urban Explorers should work. I loved it all and The space see use of music
effect was perfect.
The more details the better! You did perfectly! Those who want can fast forward while the rest of us can emerse ourselves in your experience. Well done!!!!
When you reach the attic level you can see a structural detail that used to be common in the 18th century and even the early 19th. Thomas Jefferson used the technique at Monticello. It's called brick nogging - shallow arches between timber joists. the top of the bricks can be filled with either mortar or sand and the floor surface is, apparently, tile in this case. But wood could be used as well. . . It must make for a more fireproof and sound proof floor. The rest of the floors throughout the house are probably built the same way. When you walked around, my guess is the floors didn't squeak or vibrate. In the 19th century when Iron was much easier to produce in large amounts, the brick nogging would span between iron beans.. .
I wanted to let you know that I have watched other videos of this castle done by others. Your video and the way you present things is by far better than any of the others. Keep up the fantastic work!!
For something like this with so much history I would be more than happy to watch an 8 hour video
The length of this video was rocking awesome! It was like going to a movie, loved this one with all the description… May you be blessed with all good things!❤️❤️❤️
Better than any museum tour I have ever seen. Incredible place. You did a great job!
Details are great! It doesn't matter how long the video is. There is SO much to see in this castle!! You do a great job of presenting everything and your commentary is respectful, yet calm and showing an appropriate level of wonder. Some RUclips explorers are kind of crass in their comments, gushing with their reactions and making childish and stupid jokes as they walk through abandoned homes. You, in contrast, are able to hold the camera in a steady way, your voice is calm and pleasant and your videos are very dignified, which luxurious homes like these seem to call for. Thank you!
Who cares how long it is? This is WOW!! The history here is so amazing!! Thank you!
Too long? Not for me! I used to visit abandoned houses when I was younger like you kids but I'm 62 years of age now can't walk very well so I feel like I'm with you LOL. Please stay safe! I really love all of your videos!
The machine you described, the one with the large round rollers is not used to dry clothing, or to wring water from clothing. It is called a "mangle". It is used to iron sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, and the occasional shirt. I am 80 years old and I remember the maids using them. The bed linen and the table linen were always pressed. You will not find them in the common house, but in the larger mansion, castle, or chateau. I don't like to act like a know it all, but I do remember the mangle being used.
I love the videos, and the exploration you bring. I don't get out much, and you are great company for me.
What happened with the one bedroom that had a white staircase on the right.what was in the room upstairs
Maybe I missed it.
I’m in absolute awe! It’s as if nothing has been thrown away since the place was built. Everything just been kept. Truly amazing. Haven’t enjoyed an explore so much as this one. Thankyou!
You guys are turning visual historians. I hope your work is recognized as a profession. Thank you!
Thank you for the Room by Room Tour!
I'm overwhelmed and elated that no one graffiti this place of beauty!
Спасибо ребята за вашу работу,
за интересное видео!
Спасибо за бережное отношение к истории и к чужой
жизни.
Probably the most incredible place we ever filmed together 💪🏻
100% 😁
Amazing
What’s going to happen to this! This must be saved, the items, the old letters and documents are so important! Please, go to the gouvernment to have it safed! Is it not known who’s property this is?
A steady hand, a slow pan, informative narration and respect for the property. Fantastic job all around. Good to see.
Im 13 min. Into the video...the "art" above the fireplace is actually a lid to a gold chest. What you are looking at is the underside of the lid. They had one, sometimes 2 key access. The key holes where always hidden. Usually 4 deadbolts...sometimes 6. I think i saw this one had 4....but i have to rewatch video. Extremely, extremely rare find!
Maybe the contents of the chest was what built the place… it caught my eye! Had no clue what it was so thank you!!!!!!!!
That's what I assumed, with that or a safe of sorts.. it looks like it has hinges.
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THIS PLACE. LIKE I CAME BACK TO THE BEGINNING!!👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The attraction to your videos is indeed the detail you go into, it doesn't matter how long it runs, this magnificent castle deserved every minute. You are taking people on a journey of discovery and we want to experience everything. All I can say is thank you so much for all your hard work and keep them coming.
Keep showing all the details. We were not bored watching this video. You did a great job.
I appreciate the time you take to thoroughly explore and share what you find. I'd much rather the video be long and show me all there is to see. I'm never bored.
Man I love the attention to detail. If this video had been six hours long, I would've watched every second of it. Totally amazing. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
@@Explomo Did anyone figure out what that metal stand with little spear - like things was ?.
Good job, Thankyou Sir.
The length of your videos and you guys showing all the details are the exact reasons, why you are my absolute favourite explorers. I've seen this château before by other explorers, but without you, I would've not known about the 500 year old documents or the sensational wig!!!
Fantastic explore. I didn't mind the length because you were doing such a thorough exploration and what wonderful things you showed. I would think that the 400 year old letters would be of some historical value. It was 400 years ago that the Mayflower set sail for America. Really enjoyed this. Thanks!!!
I wanted to read all the letters too! What a collection- they should be in a museum
@@lacykassin3480 right?! - I wouldn't mind seeing more of them... what a find!!!
Found your channel from AutoDidactic. Your presentation is a step into the past that made me feel nostalgic for the beauty of past architecture. The documents you found were stunning. The French government should intervene into saving the documents that the Baron kept. The antiquetech electrical components and "fireplace" were of great interest. Your voice and command of your language is mature and professional. Thank you for the trip through this beautiful house.
Be still my heart..... I stumbled across this video and am SO glad that I clicked on it! I truly loved that you took your time, explored every nook and cranny, and gave great care to leave everything just as you found it. I could get lost in this beautiful Chateau for days and days just exploring, and finding all of the treasures and imagining the history that it holds within it's beautiful walls. I have since I was even a child, had such a great admiration for historical architecture, homes, furnishings, and antiques. My heart aches at the thought of this great beauty and it's treasures deteriorating and being lost forever. You did a beautiful job taking us with you on your journey through this home. Thanks, from the southern United States!
These french homes with historical documents are even more important than my home of England because of the French Revolution and the loss of those important family's lost to time..any documents from that period are gold.
Bros of decay just did this place...but I LOVE that you take much longer to see everything 🤘💚 thank you Explomo 💗💗💗💗
Tater Tott
I love the fact that he took more time to show everything in the rooms, which the longer video reflects that
@@darlenesykes2009I completely agree! Maureno did a top notch job! It was a very enjoyable video 😃
My favorite video yet.... An absolute fortune in antiques...
And yet, the people who vandalized it destroyed so many antiques in search of gold or jewelry.
@@jrd3523 do you have a link to this please. A news article or something?
@@selzasteve837 A link to?
I think this is my favorite place you've been. What I loved the most is the old documents. They belong in a museum. Or even sold for a lot of money. Historians would have a field day!
Bellows can still be bought in America for fireplaces. It is a common purchase. Not just atiques.
I loved all the curves on the stove pipes. Even though the stoves were similar there were no pipes two alike!
I am just shocked how EVERYTHING is left behind. Clothing, hygiene products, food, medicine, photographs, etc. It just breaks my heart to think the people just got up one day and left.
All those bedrooms and I saw only 3 bathrooms.
I love seeing the servants quarters. I think I have a servant in a past life!
It seems like it wouldn't take too much to renovate as there is not a lot of decay.
One last comment. It looks like you are alone Maureno. As a mother and grandmother it bothers me to see you explore alone. You could be hurt and no one know it. Please be careful and take care of yourselves.
I love them just the way they are. If someone wants them short, they can just stop when they like! Please keep them long 🙏
Amazing video!!! I'm a french canadian, the old letters you found in the boxes are written in old french. From what I can read they're about land titles/propriety and woods. :) Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to translate for you! It'd be my pleasure!
Accidentally clicked on ur profile and I saw u had a video from 8 years ago and u joined in 2007 and this is gonna make u realize how much time flies but You’ve been on RUclips longer than of my siblings have been Alive I was like 5 when u made RUclips 😭😂
I love how much detail and time you took to look around. I also love how much Knowledge you have and the respect you show for the items when you explore. I greatly enjoyed this video.
I hope someone sees this and tries to buy and restore that wonderful treasure of history. That castle doesn't deserve to rot away.....
Those were not photographs in the wooden box but glass 'Magic Lantern' slides. Which were put into an old fashioned projector called a 'Magic Lantern'. They were used in Victorian times & the early 1900s.. Often a candle was used inside to provide the light & there were lenses to project the slides onto a screen. Ingenius methods could be used to make pictures move & change & provide a beautiful show, with magical effects. My grandmother, born at the beginning of the twentieth century told me she really loved them as a child.
This was used to provide a treat for children at christmas, or other special times but sometimes also for teaching & religious purposes. There is probably a Magic Lantern there too as there appears to be several sets of slides.
Quite likely, in the past, the rich & important people living in the castle, may have provided a show to local village children at christmas. They may even have provided a party with food & presents for the children of the many people their estate would have employed

@@ummim.4072 Hola. Lo siento. Yo sabe muy poco Espanol. Pero yo aprender con Duolingo ahora. Feliz hoy.
I watch a lot of videos on abandoned houses, I’m obsessed. But this one has kept my attention the entire time. It feels sincere and not staged . You’ve done a phenomenal job. And I love listening to you speak English, just like your exploration skills your English is methodical and precise ❤️
Those devices are not clocks, they are called Wimshurst machines from the 1800’s, which are electrostatic generators. Very cool you found those there. 😎 👍
I concur!
And the glass jars are capacitors
Do the winshurst machines make electricity? Fascinating information, thankyou for letting us know - I will look them up to read about what they are etc
👍👏
Thank you for knowing that. I tried to google them but I couldn't come up with anything. Lol I thought they looked like electric experiments.
@@twodogzdogue8710 Lots of videos on Y tube
I was wondering what if someone just appear in front of them. That’s magical and tragic too that owner left the place to decay it. Letter found from 1495, its mesmerisingly beautiful and filled with melancholy as well. I hoped you could’ve asked from the neighbours about the history of the castle. 💖
Let someone with the power to put the letters into safe hands for history sake.
@@patrickkatie @Lori, IMO there’s a reason why these people didn’t need or want this amazing castle to get robbed by the local government thieves. These former residents were royal & its not abandoned forever. These people have so much money & power. Which is the only reason the palace is still in working condition & the roof has not caved in.
If the electricity & water are still on, then someone is paying the Bill. Don’t believe me, Just stop paying your electric Bill and see how long the power stays on? Ya know ✌🏽
The curtains and the wallpaper is still so bright and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️! THIS is THE BEST VIDEO LIKE THIS THAT I'VE EVER WATCHED!
If this was twice as long I would watch every second and still be disappointed when it ended! The way you treat everything with great respect is wonderful. Please keep doing them exactly the same!
With out question , the absolute best explore ever!!! Thank you so much for the respect you show in all your explores ❤️❤️
Hard to believe that the town hasn't done anything to preserve the history of this chateau. Thank you for bring this to us to see.
You cannot imagine how costly this is... and often they are situated in small places with little budget.
It’s tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundeds...
@@SylvesterStaline. Easily that much and more. It's just that a little heat and someone looking after a place goes a long way.
If someone lived in it and worked on it it wouldn’t be as expensive. This place looks mostly cosmetic damage. Clean it out, rewire electricity, fix roof, those are the biggest expenditure. Then you can do it your self. Best thing is the halls have doors and could be closed.
Those letters need to go into a museum! There historical!
I doubt anyone would be interested.
Indeed!
Absolutely! Can give insight to the times and lives then. Very interesting
The writing was so well done, even if it would need an calligraphy expert to understand it. The paperwork really should be in a sterile museum or University, where academics could study it & safeguard it all from fires, dust & insects.
Thankyou for wearing gloves in your tour of this amazing piece of preserved history.
Theres usually a lot of historical references and information about the area and what was happening there. I think theyd be fascinating and informative!
I could have watched the entire 8 hours of this one. I would love to read what is inside those old books. How amazing.
This has got to be the best explore you have ever done, and the best one I have seen on you tube 👏.
People ! Ok I’m a avid self taught collector guru. Here is my ‘’ take / eye’’- first off the ‘’ iron art’’ over fireplace is a very very old 1700 ? 1800 ? SAFE DOOR ! that’s the intricate inside lock mechanism . There’s a key there and you can see two heavy hinges . Very very old and valuable 100,000 $ . The chandeliers / sconces all super super historical French European stuff. Highly potentially that the colored glass fruit ones are Lalique, Tiffany , etc. depending on age and rarity a single chandelier could fetch 500,000 $. The other lights 100,000 $ for all maybe tons more . The electrical devices most likely scientific teaching tools . 1400s ? 1600s ? Manuscripts and technical scientific documents and books . Incredibly valuable , sky’s the limit . The way so many oil paintings 🖼, probably of the family . But if 1400s 1600s etc very valuable ! Plus all the oils and due to extreme age of other items in the home. The possibility of uncovering a century’s old masterpiece oil painting ( millions to tens of millions ) , could not be higher ! Each fireplace mantle 10-25-50,000$ each or more. The silk drape super valuable 5-10,000 each pair. Each fire stove 3-5,000$ each , stove andirons 2,000$ each, tub and old pipe controls 15,000. Btw the thing on wall by shower is a hot water heater wild wild contraption ! Works off coal stove ? Probably worth 5,000$ cause it’s so rare and cool. Some of the China figures could be special make /valuable. The simple wood “religious ‘’ figures , to me looked like maybe really really really old Russian icon religious figures . Mucho valuable. Incredibly valuable when some of these date back to 1500s , 1600s , it’s actually simply incredible to find an object that old. The fire place accessory’s and fireback plates worth probably 25,000$ for all . Tons of more examples . Some of the oldest oldest stuff and valuable , would tend to look like complete trash in there. You have to know what your looking at . And where to look can be key 🔑. And finally the little little tiny ‘’bronze bust’’ , you said was a kids ‘’ toy ‘’. Well , my first thought was- is that bust a tiny RODAN ? If it is , it’s a 98,000$ toy or possibly a 675,000 $ toy. And yes I cried when you did not pick it up and look for a makers name ! Literally cried ! These are my honest off the cuff guesses. Who knows,the actual true value of it all. I didn’t consider carpets ....nor what looked like a holy grail alligator hermes bag ? 50,000 $ for that ! Ha great video length was needed.
gah! -- I was looking for a comment like this! -- you know so much more than I do! I'm SO CURIOUS -- what would be the "Some of the oldest oldest stuff and valuable , would tend to look like complete trash in there" -- ??? -- like what?!? -- please, do tell! - he hasn't explored THE OUTSIDE BUILDINGS
I had the same feelings, when he didn't pick up that tiny bronze bust -- I didn't immdiately think "Rodin", but --just felt like it was "SOMETHING"-- omg -- I just looked again, and - you have A GREAT EYE-- it DOES carry the characteristic "adding-to" technique of Rodin. ....wow -- I'm impressed by your eye and expertise! Damn!
Self taught and self evaluated...
I just looked up those plates at 11 minutes, Blue Onion plates are $300.00 apiece minimum, they are discontinued.
All the worth that’s inside this castle within the antiques, chinaware, silverware, Crystal glasses, paintings and everything else.. A small amount of this could pay for the restoration of the body of the castle. Then leave it as it is ‘The castle where time stopped’, open to the public for viewing to generate regular income to keep it alive! It’s so so sad that all of this beauty is locked away behind boarded up windows and doors 😥
That is what I was thinking. That was some sort of safe door as it looked like an intricate locking mechanism inside, then you see the key. Wow $100,000. It is a same these relics are just left, they should be in a museum for all to see.
the place is so extraordinary that you had my attention through the whole thing. Well done.
I’m happy to hear that Linda! Thank you! 😊🙌🏼
This is not favourite chateu by its decoration. But, those Antique letters, paintings, Antique books, sciences tools are really blow my mind. I've never seen a castle with this valuable things before. Okay, We've seen castle with lots of Antique and valuable paintings or even statues, but how many we see castle with original letters and books in well preserved dated back to 16 or even 15th century in such an abandoned place?! Man, this really blow my mind. This things belongs to museums nowadays. Love this video. Oh, Moreno.. I don't even mind if you make more than an hour video for this kind of place. It's worth to watch.
The longer the better for these videos as they are amazing.. Takes you to another place way back in time...! Awesome!!
Gorgeous love this place 💞
First of all I love your channel! I love the way you spend time and look through a lot of different things.... Seeing those letters/documents dated all the way back to the 1400s? Priceless! I know it's not the same being there, but the way you explore the rooms and what they contain I can easily enjoy it very much, vicariously through your channel! So to answer your question: " Please continue exploring the way you explored this Mansion/ Manor.
I love the time you take to show historical castles.i feel like I'm walking in an imaginal place. thank you for respecting the things that once belonged to past lives
12:40 coming from a german viewer - the letter wasn't by a friend, it was from a german porcelain shop owner directed to the owner of the castle who seemed to have bought something. she said that she's sorry because something that he bought was broken so she sent him the refund. by the way the shop still exists to this day like wow! it's near nuremberg.
WOW- I MUST SAY YOU DESERVE AN AWARD FOR DOING SUCH A OUTSTANDING JOB -& 1 OF YOUR BEST ONE'S EVER 😎😎
The last resident(s) might have been removed for health and safety reasons. So they closed the castle, no reason for removing the items, they assume it would be safe from vandalism. I believed once their home was video taped by Explorers, they decided to take action. This castle is huge, beautifully preserved. I would probably be sitting down, enjoying visuals of this historical beauty. The electricity still on, tells me, it isn't abandoned any longer. Those ladders indicate renovations or repairs.
Look at that staircase, made of metal? Definitely unique.
400 hundred years of history, who wouldn't want to walk through this Time Capsule.
Elizabeth, please mull over my explanation for removal of residents. It's not as crazy as it sounds. I've seen it before.
Searching for urbex before few months I have found a photo of that yellow salon and everything was covered with white sheets and neatly assembled. It seams that who ever owned or still owns this chateau didn't just left the place to rot but has plans or had plans to return back. It seems that looters have stolen certain amount of valuables but it's still in decent condition.
I love the details, I just wondering what happened to the people who lived there, so many personal things left behind, I just wonder why? Very sad to see so precious belongings left like this......
@@corinatrian.2073 Some people believe that they have time. Others don’t want to think about getting older or sick. They don’t make plans for the future. Unfortunately, they don’t trust others to responsibly manage their estate, especially if they don’t have close friends or children.
@@GMAMEC yes, but there are times that they have children and grandchildren and they don't care about their photos, the closets are full of garments, the cabinets are full of everything, why they don't go there to empty the house and share the things, when my mother died I give her clothes to the church and I give away things that I don't need.
Some people seems don't care about anything, I don't criticise I just wonder why?
I love when you take your time in these beautiful castles, who could get bored learning all of OUR history, I thank you for your videos, not only to have the knowledge of things bit where they are located and a beautiful conversation with family, so please don't cut any footage or look for exquisite materials. Again thank you so much.
The respect you show is outstanding! My favorite is the pipes from the stoves. They are almost like an art piece. Those letters & the portraits really need to be turned over to an historian. As for the length it’s great! I don’t like when people rush through these places. I understand why, but, I appreciate the time you took. So, thank you very much for this video!
Most treasured place I ve Ever seen .i been watching u all 4 a long while..Sweet.Love detail.LOVE HISTORY thats locked n there.Amazing Job..Thx 4 another great journey..😃
These were some very important people. This is amazing.
I love all the lil details - please always take as much time as you need !! I love exploring with you ! It amazes me and gives great sadness to see so many nice things and homes just left to waste - but I do still thoroughly enjoy going through them with you ! Wishing I could be you
Also you've remind me continuously about items and events that my mother or grandmother participated in or had, some I've enjoyed when I was young and forgotten about. This makes me happy, it brings back special memories and then I share them with my children and call my mom and discuss it. She's 90 and has lived through some crazy things and you don't think to talk about it, until someone like you triggers those times. So please continue with all the details! 🥰
I certainly did nt mind the length of the film I was glued to the screen in amazement. I still can't get over the letters going back centuries,ypu boys are really the best in Urbex.i can't wait to order my merchant hoodie tommorow so I can show off your name with pride.Thankyou so much I really loved everything xxx much love from us here in wales xxx
Wow!! Thank you so much for your words Dorothy. Enjoy rocking the hoodie and your support is absolutely appreciated!!😊❤️
Best castle and historical trip ever.
We just love it!
Not a castle!
This was an amazing place! The attic could have been used as the play room so the children would be safe inside, but far enough not to be heard if they had visitors. An amazing violin to be left to decay. It's never easy seeing things left behind to decay, but when it's a musical instrument it breaks my heart to know we'll never again hear it's beautiful sound. Great job Maureno, always a pleasure to watch your explores. 🙋♀️💜🇺🇸
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I absolutely loved it! I really enjoy the commentary as you are exploring it. I hope that someone from the original family will reach out and get all of those old documents from the 15th to 18/19th century. Love your video. Definitely be watching more! Thank you for hard work!
The painting you said was 1673... Was actually 673. Here's why:
The abbreviation "i" (i673) is of the name “Iesous/Iesus” and stands for "Year of our Lord, Iesous". It was typical for Roman Latin inscriptions as back then, there was no "J" for "Jesus" until the late 1800's.
The painting was 673 in the year of Iesous.
Also, the inscription Etatis SVU is now spelled aetatis suae
It's an inscription to denote the (specified) year of his/her year of portrait.
youe explanation sounds made up. I believe the narrator with 1673. 😀
@@davidjames666 Believe the narrator who just read it off a painting instead of somebody who knows more on the subject?
You could've easily deduced that from the i's in the words looking the same as what comes before the numbers 693, it's not a 1.
The stupidity...
@@Neffins yes, the stupidity. I mean I even had a smily face at the end of my statement. Maybe you did not see that? in addition to the extremely ridiculously overly sarcastic statement. I mean what more did you need to see to realize I was joking? I just don’t get it. Maybe your underwear are also too tight? BTW “Let’s go Brandon”
@@davidjames666 Nothing about your initial comment implies sarcasm, people use smiley faces all the time on the internet regardless of their intended emotion, not to mention that people wildly differ in which context they use any of them.
But sure, guess it was sarcasm then.
Yes, apparently they have added non-existing 1000 years to our history, hence "dark ages". Of course there won't be any history to imaginary 1000 years. #Tartaria #Mudflood
Thank you for being you. The respect you show is wonderful. Your voice is soothing , I enjoy your adventures, this one most of all. From South Dakota good wishes from an old woman.
Ditto from an old man in Texas...
I love the more detailed explores, I could watch your explores for hours. We wouldn’t of seen those old letters and bits and pieces like Lego and drawings. What a gorgeous place, love this! Xx
太棒了！感谢！
WHYYYYYY, is someone not saving these BEAUTIFUL collectables ??? 😢😢😢
N )
That violin is worth $ 1,000,000 ( one million dollars )..my family just sold one
There must be some legalities involved I am sure. Maybe there is a time limit on finding relatives that could inherit it all or maybe it now belongs to the city and there are time limits there also before they can do anything.
Is there any update on the items from this house? Even those old papers need to be read and put in a museum! The French government should be ashamed for penalizing families and let this happened to the history in their country!
My first time finding this adventure, I'm with you Dinah Jackson, I see the question is awhile back, how do they keep people out of coming and taking everything? Program is amazing! If there is an answer, please share
Wow wow wow this was certainly worth waiting for it was absolutely Awsome I loved it, what a pity it's going to waste it would make a fantastic museum, love you guys keep it up x
Wow. What a long video. Almost 2 hours.
3:19 Security? LOL. I thought this was to be a guided tour, but he is a friend. I see.
4:14 That is a beautiful blliard table. Funny how the main door enters this room.
4:53 That circular object is a Van DeGraph generator. Creates high voltage static electricity.
5:05 Leyden jars. An old way to store electric charge.
5:32 Several electrical scientific instruments from the late 1890s to early 1900s.
7:47 That is where the billiard cue sticks were placed when not in use
10:00 That is a very interesting work of industrial art. I quite like it.
11:08 With double door wardrobes, there is a small catch on the inside to open the 2nd door.
13:56 That is a calculating scale used in shops to quickly show different prices per kilogram
15:38 Japanese. The two top symbols is Ni-Hon meaning "Sun Origin" the symbol for Japan. But the symbols seem to be mirror image. Is your camera reversing the image? The graphic also shows a rising sun.
18:26 The curved exhaust pipes allow more heat to escape into the room rather than up the chimney.
19:58 It is funny how they have 3 forms of heating in this room. The old fireplace, the white furnace with curved pipes and the water radiating heaters.
22:07 Wax seals for envelopes. How strange to see that these days.
27:52 LOL. I thought I had too many plates and glasses. Even the few I have I hardly ever use.
38:10 I think they had too many kitchen things. Perhaps they did not know how to throw away old things. :)
39:03 Those jars probably contain home made jams. The other jars had preserved plums probably.
39:30 A lot of meat grinders to make minced meat. My mother had one many years ago.
40:25 Wealthy people do not care about the poor. They don't even think about them.
42:16 NO WAY! Those glass photo plates should be in a museum or state library.
42:38 Why are these important historic documents not in a state library? This is insane.
50:52 That is such a beautiful chandelier with so many different coloured glass elements.
50:58 Did you see the old style piano in the far corner?
51:38 What a lovely old board game.
52:52 Before you go upstairs... there is NO CELLAR? There must be a wine cellar in this building.
53:30 LOL. I bet the "Brothers of Decay" set that clock in motion when they were there. It is so sad to see a clock telling the time with nobody to see.
58:27 The date on that fireplace is 1677. Is this house that old?
1:03:20 In that child's room I was crying and laughing at the same time.
1:09:28 More books that should be in a state library. They seem in very good condition.
1:10:03 "Grand Dictionnaire Universel du XIXe Siècle" originally published in 1864 is a French encyclopedic dictionary.
1:13:11 Water is not drinkable.
1:14:04 That is called a Top Hat
1:15:39 A long video is great and I love the detail. We can always pause and resume when tired.
1:16:25 to 1:18:15 was beautiful photography especially with the music.
1:24:08 A bidet but no toilet. I wonder why? No sewage plumbing to the upstairs perhaps?
1:29:23 I was wondering when you would find the "Royal Throne Room". LOL
1:29:50 All those blue tiles are unique. I cannot see any two that are the same.
1:37:00 So this is where the servants lived. All these rooms right at the top in the attic.
1:42:10 That is a hand cranked electricity generator. The handle is missing at the front.
1:42:51 Funny how some of the rooms that seem to belong to children have adult clothes in the wardrobes.
1:43:17 That is a very old telephone. A collectors item for sure.
1:44:24 LOL. Freeze frame here and you can see the plastic breast. Blur fail!
1:46:13 More books that should be in a state library or in the rare books section of a university.
1:46:43 That book looks like it was from 1785 !!!!!
1:46:46 Not 16th century. That is "Tim XVII" meaning "Volume 17 VENE - Z"
(I don't understand why you don't report these places to an academic institution anonymously)
1:50:42 I wonder if some of the children were initially home schooled up in that attic.
Thank you heaps for such a grand exploration. I loved the feature length presentation of this house. I watched it from midnight till almost 4am, pausing, rewatching parts, and making notes. Your video was much better than the other one I saw from this house by the VBrothers of Decay, although theirs was also very, very good.
Dexxter, wtf.
@@HDB316 ... Explomo did ask me for a detailed commentary. :)
@@twofeathers5145 ... Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and comments.
@@twofeathers5145 ... I am too old to explore these days, and living in Australia makes it less likely since there are virtually no abandoned homes here. They are far to valuable to be left to rot.
Wanted to write the same as you ! But I have a different eye . The “ metal art ‘’ is Not ! It’s a 17th18th century SAFE DOOR ! A grand complication of iron work . You can see key and two hinges. That’s the locking mechanism on inside of door ! Very valuable. Not to mention the potential Louis icart lights tiffany ? Laluique more likely . The chandeliers with candles ? And colored glass ? Potentially extremely valuable. There were two ! 250,000 each . Or the scientific books ? Potentially very valuable . The scientific things were demonstration teaching tools . The tons of very old oil paintings, very very valuable . Every fireplace mantle 25-50,000$ each ! Some valuable ladro ceramic . Alligator vintage Hermès bag ? Museum piece mucho valuable . The other French chandeliers 5-1- 25,000$ a piece ! Same with gold armalou sconces. Even the tiny little bronze “bust ‘ you call a child’s toy 🧸- could be a mini RODAN 50,000 $ bronze . Shocking that you never looked once ? Not once for a signature or makers mark ? You are standing there talking about trinkets , while next to you are treasures, you don’t see or mention. Omg. The ski curtains 10,000 a pair , the old old andirons in s
Each fireplace- 2,000$ each . 1400s paperwork omg 😳 loosely there’s 2 million if not five million in rare very very old stuff there .
Omg, I can’t understand how anyone could just leave all that valuable, beautiful and perishable stuff unprotected. I’m also amazed that it hasn’t been looted. I completely understand how people could be in a position where they are unable to afford to continue living in this beautiful place, but surely, if that was the case the first thing you would do is either sell or donate all those incredible things, so they didn’t just rot away. Alternatively, people could come in and steal all that valuable stuff. I mean it’s worth a mint, it breaks my heart.
How awkward would it be if the owners came back as he is found filming..."excuse us, we were on holiday, what are you doing in our house?" 😂 lov the content too!
Well, most of those things were not valueable back then. They only are now because they are old and rare. You also need buyers of course. In an age without ebay and the internet you'll have trouble selling anything, especially when the entire region has been struck by recession.
@@Puschit1 ... In an age without ebay and the internet you'll have trouble selling anything ... How do You mean that ? Things are selling on Ebay for good money - not always, when cheap I am buying of course. Those Chests of Drawers in the big room are around 5000.- eur each, all made around 1780 - 1820. And in high quality - with marquetry, all originals with Bronze handles, in really good shape. Those were very expensive as they were new too ... Interesting how those were not presented at all, someone was extremly fast overflying those, and those are the most worthy in the whole mansion. Most of those paintings - portraits of not known persons are really not much as noone is collecting portraits ... Those huge wall rugs may be even much expensiver.
@@sreckosx What I mean is: The family left centuries ago, at that time ebay didn't exist! Read my comment again and try to put yourself back in time 40+ years. You are broke, maybe the entire region has become poor, nobody in the vicinity is interested in or can afford buying antiques. And many other items you have seen aren't worth anything back then.
@@Puschit1 No, 40 years ago I startet business as antiques dealer. And THEN those chests of drawers were 10.000 - 20.000 DM a piece ... And you could not find any, noone wanted to sell. For 60 years, here in Slovenia Austrian dealers were coming here to Slovenia buying stuff - all, from Candle holders, porcelain, glass, Earthware all kinds of, irons, old postcards, albums with stamps, old Clocks all kinds of, watches - pocket watches too, forks, spoons, knives, furniture ... All that was worthy, mostly much ,more 40 years ago as it is now - last 10 - 15 years prices have dropped, but not on all ... These mansion might be the last living inside died, might be 5 - 10 years ago, and now it is sold or someone inherited it. At the begining of this video stands " THIS IS OLD FOOTAGE - THE CASTLE IS BEING EMPTIED OUT BY THE OWNERS NOW" ... However there are quite some castles in France for sale currently - I don't know if You heard this, but there are whole 60 000 Castles on sale now in france - beeing to expensive to keep them in shape, of course. Friendly Greetings from Slovenia !!
