Hi, so to just give some more information. The castle is called „Schloss Rothestein“ and is located in Bad Sooden-Allendorf, Hesse, Germany, a really nice little town. Back in the day the castle was used as a hunting and holiday castle and as said in the description often changed its owner until today. During this summer a couple from a city nearby bought the castle and now they are renovating and restoring it. They plan to reopen the castle next summer to the public. They also want to reopen the cafe which is located inside the castle and are currently looking for someone to operate it. Btw. great video. In reality the castle is even more beautiful than in the video.
I'm from the USA but I'd love to come and help run the place just give me a room for my pup and I and we'd be there as soon as we could I'd love to live in a beautiful place like this 💖💖💖💖
So glad to hear that there's an owner. Too many beautiful and timeless places like this are abandoned forever. Maureno is the most respectful and responsible explorer out there and I think he helps expose the places that can still be saved to potential buyers or investors.
Native German speaker here watching this interesting video about this amazing location in my home country. 22:28: The slogan means translated: "Acquire and Disclose (on the left); Gradually it Has Grown (on the right)". Looking at the symbol, the right slogan likely refers to it. Like a tree, wealth has grown for the family over the course of decades like a tree which grows constantly - at least that is what the phrase wants to wish for. The left slogan "Acquire and Disclose" might be related to the symbol next to it with three bells. It could be meant as a financial directive with bells symbolizing stock exchange - especially since former owners came from rich industrial settings. 30:53: "A Dom" is Latin and stands for anno domini = In The Year of The Lord. 34:13: "Des Hauses Ziel ist Reinlichkeit" means "Aim of the house is cleanliness". The old German "s" in words looks like a "f". 35:49: The "Ein Pfennig" or one Cent coins are likely from tourists in the past when the castle was accessible. Leaving one Cent behind is supposed to bring luck in German tradition. Often people throw it into fountains - likely the ones in this tray were collected out of the castle fountain seen earlier in the video. 37:57: The bench is half the part of a longer one which normally sits directly next to a window. In medieval times people had to use as much daylight as possible for reading or other activities, so they often sat close to windows - this castle was built as look-alike. The bench was moved since likely water came in through the window which also indicates the curled up carpet behind. 41:25: The painting is likely when the original castle was built judging from the deterioration - it is likely a religious catholic motive representing one holy knight on the horse. You can tell by the halo around his head.
@@kadoj Perhaps "acquire and disclose" is like the phrase "if you own it- flaunt it!" You know? Kind of like saying "I worked hard and this castle is my just reward ". ???? Sorry. Mono lingual American here! 🙃
@@blindspotspotter.2352 I think the second part of your comment really nails it. I don’t get a heavy flaunting vibe here. For me it’s all about the “working hard and this castle is my just reward” vibe, of a substantial age or era of squired wealth. The distinct lack of shiny glittery surfaces are instead so organic, carved intricately to perfection. It is to my eyes a vision.

@@blondelebanese9922 Yeah, I think you're correct. The castle is like a tribute to a millennia of German architecture, engineering and sensibilities. I've been fortunate enough to visit your country several times over the past three decade's. Germany and Hawaii are my favorite spots on the globe. I've labored to learn German but alas, linguistics is not a skill that comes easy to me. However, my youngest daughter is in her third year of German class in high school here in Northern Virginia and seeking a student exchange program in Germany. Such an incredibly rich heritage the German people have. Oh, I also wanted to Thank Annie for adding to the incredible tour you and your friends provided. What a great hour of viewing that was!

We just added on to our house and I was so overwhelmed with all the details. I can not imagine who could think of so many details in this place. There are details in places no one would see! How do you come up with the paint colors, wood and plaster and lamps and the gorgeous windows ? Amazing really.The amount of labor that went into it is mind blowing! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Generations past were certainly more in tune with beauty than we are now. I often wonder, where are the Beethovens and Rembrandts, the Sculptures of our day? Modern art is a joke for the most part, a toddler could paint some of the simple things I see for sale as art. The stained glass now vs then? It’s mind boggling and kind of sad we settle for ugly grey square buildings and little NAS, lol. The American pennies are still in circulation here, worth 1 cent each. Although, older ones that are made of real copper and certain rare years fetch a higher collectors price.
It is Tartarian. He did not build it. It was left after the last reset. They built masterpieces then, harvested energy and knew how sound/ energy affected consciousness. This knowledge was taken away and fake history given to us. Go research, it’s fascinating.
The history one feels in these beautiful places. Parties, beautiful ladies in their ball dance dresses, carriages being pulled up to the exterior to drop off the influential people. Servants scurrying around doing their duties.
Nice,but disappointed that we couldn’t see any bedrooms or anything past the first floor. I hope the new owners will repair and maintain the place. It looks beautiful!

This CASTLE took my breath away!!! So MAGNIFICENT nd just BREATHTAKINGLY, BEAUTIFUL...!!!! THANX, soo....much for sharing this with us...!!!! I'm in Fl.the good old USA, sooummyea, I'd NEVER get this type of an opportunity to visit this place!!!! So AMAZING GUYZ, again THANX..!!!!!! 🌴 😉 ❤ 🌴 🔅😊 🌴
Every word you used to describe this place was coming out of my mouth too! I really do not know how you will ever top this place, but I am here for it! This is truly beyond ahhhhmazzing. Thank you so much
BY THE WAY - the German phrase on the fireplace in the main entrance - erwerben und mitteilen mit der zeit touchs er - COULD BE translated as "Acquire and Communicate with (literally) the time he touches" which COULD MEAN if you don't translate literally - Acquire and share with the time you have (the time he touches - can be assumed to mean with the time you have or while there is time). I think some of the phrase is obliterated and not MUCHS as it is TOUCHS. At least that's my best guess. So inverting things a bit, "acquire and share what you have while you have the time (or with the life you have)"!! German is a difficult language to translate as it's often more "conceptual" than literal word for word. It's all about "the meaning" more than the words used to define it. Also in the small side room on the recessed seat - the "Ao DOM" is the same thing Anno Domini OR In the year of our Lord - or A.D. or as many think (wrongly) After Death - meaning after the death of the Lord. Just used to signify "in the year of" 1896.
I love homes like that. The architecture is amazing. They have character, personality, history. I hope the new owners restore it to its original glory.
It's beautiful! Just beautiful 😍 👁❤🇩🇪🏰. Such a tribute to the over engineering and steadfast nature of German spirit and architecture. What a beautiful country and rich history you all enjoy.
WHAT an AMAZING palace. But unfortunately, I think this is one of the absolute SADDEST video explorations - to see this grand building go to ruin as it is at this point. Such a sad, sad thing to see. If I only had the youth, the money, the time and the location - THAT would be mine to restore and preserve. Such a sad story indeed. But a great video and explanation of its history and its demise to this point. Surely somebody will pick up on this and fix it- hopefully. But if not, it will return to nature as so many of the places you all explore seem to do. And THAT would be both a tragedy and a travesty.
I loved all the details you showed of the architecture. Absolutely magnificent. When I see tall heavy doors, I'm impressed by the workmanship it took to hang the doors. It's hard enough to hang a regular door so it stands open. I loved, too, the beautiful and individually unique cupboards and side boards. Wow. They really tied them together for a one of a kind look. Thank you, Maureno, for all the work that went into this video to record, edit, put beautiful music to it. Wow, a lot of work!!
@@yanifitriyani9287 literally hundreds of laborers, most likely dozens of specialized artisans, and one primary architect. Probably took between 2 and 10 years to build the original structure, but based on the look of the place it seems like it has most likely been renovated, and added on to multiple times throughout its life, and that makes a final number on how long it took overall very difficult to calculate.
It's about the tunnels to cities underneath castles, museums, white house, courthouses, post offices, giant engineering firms, and what they do is human trafficking. It's not all they do, they are busy running surface earth but it's critical because of their diet to live a very long time and have tremdous energy as predators. So these castles and everything else is for show for the real games.
And just think of the sheer amount of time, horsepower and effort it took to move the tons of supplies up the mountain to even build it! This was a grandiose hunting lodge with its gorgeous organic Art Nouveau artistic aesthetic seen throughout in all decorative, carved and painted elements. Those amazing carved glass light globes, like pine cone are beautiful. The heraldic motif glass windows in that huge dining room and the windows over the Grand staircase depicting game, foul & furry creatures were refined and beautifully executed. Seeing the evidence of the electronic safety requirements of: various signs for Exits, the fire extinguisher, modern hinges on top of DR doors and other indications of the Castles conversion from Private Residential to Public Commercial space subtracted a little bit from the splendor. Yet, even still it was spectacularly finished with not a hint of anything being improperly done. First class at every juncture. You are too funny, in the beginning saying 'we're gonna be quick'; then going in and giving such a great detailed explore of everything slow and close-up and tripod set-ups for entry narration. Haha!! How long were you in there, two? three hours? ; ) I must say; that ladder climb up and down was scary. Another amazing explore!!!
Just a regular penny from the US ... how lucky you are to get to go in such a beautiful place and explore it thank you for being respectful of it this is the first of your videos that I've ever watched I do believe I will be subscribing and binge watching what I've missed thank you from the USA 🇺🇸
Yep a regular penny. Not super old. Older ones have what on the reverse. And yes The US still uses them. Our sales tax is computed on top of the purchase price.
This place is so beautiful. Have to admit, I was a bit nervous for you all at the beginning. Glad all turned out well, and you allowed us to see inside this amazing castle. I can only imagine why the way to the tower was not accessible, but at least you were able to video the beautiful entryway and some areas on the ground floor. God bless!
Absolutely beautiful! Loved all that wood all the details carved into the wood! Stained glass! Marble! That was not the main kitchen. But a build in. And I would have loved to have seen the original dining table that used to be in the dining room. Everything was incredible! Can’t even imagine the time and people that designed and built this place all those years ago. I truly hope they restore this place! 💜
A castle that big would have to have an emergency tunnel exit/entrance. They all did back then, Should always check the woods around the 1800s properties like this beauty. Thank you! Great risk, great rewards, indeed!
Hello Maureno and Remon! Wow 😃 The Castle very impressive architecture outside and inside. All paintings ceilings, carved wood, marmol and the multicolor widows amazing 👏. I am thinking back to the red curtains one time to bring to the rooms. Thank you for your exploration and please stay safe! Big hug 🤗 ❤ 💖 ♥ 😊😉😷
What a beauty and a fabulous explore. Pity you couldn’t get to the tower but what you did see was spectacular!! Congratulations on your new office too 😀🌹
I've always found it interesting when beautiful structures make it through so many wars where you know people had an opportunity to be bitter and destroy them but something stops them from doing so. Not always sometimes we do see the ugly in people come out but when things like this survive when the odds were not good it's kind of heart warming to know that some people even in a time of war don't stoop that low.
Man.this brought tears to my eyes.. Well done gentlemen. The beauty of RUclips..takes me places I will never see for myself. Thank you for taking me there
kamangha mangha ang kastilyo nayan aah! subrang ganda.stunning .ngayunpalang ako nkakita ng kastilyu.ganyan.bigatin na talaga ang Explomo.kailangang bigyan ng time na panuorin.dami ads at no skip ads .thank Explomo.GOD BLESS!
oh my! i love staircases and stained glass......yes i'm over the top happy this morning! omg THE most awesome i think i have ever seen! and once on the landing, took my breath away
This was so amazing. It seems the last couple of owners who used it as a venue/ rental hall, did close up those top floor rooms. These would have been amazing to see and I would imagine more decay would be found in them and in the castle. Perhaps budget constraints only allowed upkeep of the actual rooms that were used for the venue purposes- too bad we could get a glimpse of the basement floors either. But what a lovely explore! Thanks so much!
Nobody tells a story like you do, you ,boys are the best at explaining ,with much feeling,like you both do . I don,t watch anyone else. We just don,t get the experience you both give your audience … love you both and Thankyou so much😘😘😘😘😘😘
OMG!!!! The view and the location of this amazing castle is stunning 🤩 what a beautiful place, like a fairytale. So magical! ✨ So gorgeous from the outside and inside. What a great find! 🖤
Looks to be in the Gothic revival, Pre Raphaelite style. What's the bet those false doorways were blocked off to stop people using the place for weddings from accessing the upstairs bedrooms and tower... otherwise the stairway makes no sense. There must be another access to those areas other than the main entrance.
This place is so amazing, what detail and beauty throughout!! Thank you for showing us all of it with such care, I especially loved the glass ceilings! And I have good news: did some research and found that it is indeed ready for visitors, weddings etc from mid 2022 again! It is currently being renovated but at the moment they are offering photo tours for the super curious already (until end of the year). So it looks like this place has a bright future again!! Would love to go and visit it in person one day...
Your respectful manner and true emotion for the detailed architecture are compelling enough to relieve you from the security breach and probable envy of the judge for undertaking the risk.
Hola maureno!! Impresionante que arquitectura ,detalles en todos lados preciosos ,los muebles tan trabajados y ni que decir de esa ubicación! Magnífico video!!saludos cordiales 👍
Best explore, ever!!! I wish they would invite you back to film all of the castle, including the tower! Love your appreciation of all the work and details!!
Me gustó ese castillo es una belleza y los felicitos por el coraje de entrar en ese lugar soy Susana De Uruguay todos tus videos son muy buenos un gran abrazo a la distancia
Ohhh Maureno… Without a doubt… THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CASTLE that I have ever seen!!!❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍 The architecture, craftsmanship, woodwork, chandeliers, leaded & stained glass…majestic!!! All of this magnificent castle was breathtaking, gorgeous & phenomenal!!! There are not enough words in the English language, to describe the grandeur of this castle!!! I am sure that the upkeep of this property is astronomical, but this one of a kind gem is sooo very worthy of it!!! If not for you, I would have never gotten the opportunity to experience this wonderful property, sooo I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏 I would have loved to have been able to see the tower, but am thankful that you & your friends, risk life & limb to share this much of this magnificent property with us!!! I absolutely loved it & will have something to dream about for years to come!!! Thank you again 🙏❤️👍❤️
Great video of Rothestein Castle! I am thankful none of you were injured using the ladder to scale the wall. Maybe the current owners will give you access to the second floor? I heard some parts of the grounds are still in the family 😉.
Woow Maureno this is really an absolutely breathtaking location, full of the typical grandeur of the late 19th century imitation style in the neo gothic way. - I already loved the stunning entrance hall with the magnificient huge chandelier - after my opinion - an absolute masterpiece of metal work craftmanship!! - I really wonder, how the life of this rich man must have been back in the days, when he was the builder and owner of that location. Imagine the original furniture, ..the servants, the parties, etc. etc. they were most certainly celebrating from 1896 on. - This castle has really an incredible atmosphere as well. - Also in the other rooms and halls, you were showing, there were so incredibly wonderful chandeliers and very decorative woodcarvings and beautifully designed ceilings, as well as beautiful stained glass windows visible. - And - I am all the time nearly speechless, when listening to your beautifully expressed introductions in very good English. - Also the exterior like the interior is in the same way breathtaking, reminding me of a fairytale castle. It's somehow quite comparable, regarding the general architectural concept, to the famous castle "Neu Schwanenstein" in Bavaria built by the king Ludwig II. - What an incredible explore, dear bro! - I got actually sweaty hands, and my heart was beating faster when watching you all climbing up and down this ladder..... I am so glad, that nothing serious has happened to you. - However all these risks, the difficult access to the castle, the scares of being spotted by security or even being caught by police, really were consequently highly rewarded by unique and breathtaking sights. Bravo Maureno, once more an absolutely incredible and wonderful explore video in the unparallelled high and very classy Explomo quality - only in the same way comparable of course with Lesleys Urbex videos!!! - Wishing you all the best, much love, peace and kindest regards. - Thank you so very much for sharing this memorable explore with us viewers! N.B. I couldn't watch your vid already on Sunday, when you were uploading, because Lesley and his buddies were on their way to my home for a memorable and very pleasant visit, where I was completely absorbed in taking care of them!
WOW! Holy Moses! The craftsmanship! I am of German decent and hope to get to Germany someday. American coins! This one cent piece is still used in America in 2021. I love history you have done this beautiful palace honor in your amazing video. Thank you for a great experience.

The way the light came through the stained glass in the main hall, so beautiful I could stand there for hours just watching the light cast across the room all day.
Can’t get over the architecture and chandeliers in there. So wish you could’ve seen the rest of the castle I have a feeling it would’ve been incredible. Thank you for risking your necks to get that amazing footage.
Una bella exploracion 'magnifico castillo y abandonado 'y esta tan bien conservado ' realmente precioso y todo lo que esta dentro 'uno queda extasiado 'saludos de chile 🇨🇱
Just gorgeous. Such a magnificent castle. Pray some good hearted soul purchases it and restores it to its original beauty. It shouldn’t be left to ruin. That would truly be a terrible shame. If it could be a hotel again with places to eat would love to visit and enjoy. Thank you for such a beautiful video.
Stunning beauty... thank you for showing the details up close, and lingering on them so we can have a good look. The light quality from the windows is excellent and gives everything a lovely warm glow, calm, majestic atmosphere.
He disfrutado mucho con ésta exploración. Todos los detalles son increíbles, en cada rincón hay algo Maravilloso 😍 Felicidades por su Nueva oficina, enhorabuena ! Gracias por compartir con nosotros 🙏 Besos Mexicanos virtuales para Todos 💋
What you were able to see was just amazing, thanks for the adventure. Hope someone can buy it and restore it for a business. The kitchen was very disappointing, but it was common not to let the cooks have a good kitchen.
It's a penny 1 cent the date should be on the other side. If they are older they are worth money usually. We still use one cent. Beautiful castle. Watching. From Pennsylvania USA.
When you went up the stairs, it appeared that behind those red curtains was where the access to the rest of the castle. My thought is that to stop people who were there for wedding venues the entrances to the rooms were closed off by block walls and plastered to hide the true purpose of those stairs. Stairs to no where makes no sense as there had to be a way to the rooms upstairs and tower from the main part of the castle that you were able to film. This is an amazing place and I do hope it has been sold to someone who has a love for such beauty and they will restore the whole complex. Thank you for taking us with you.
Wow!! You really took it to the next level with this Maureno!! It’s a fairytale castle/Schloss for sure. The grand entrance hall and intricate ceilings and chandeliers have really stood the test of time. The backstory of the Barons who owned and lived there, plus the incorporation of some vintage photos of the place were really nice touches here. Always wishing you a lot of success, plus the office is fabulous! 😉💪👍❤️
😍💕 Have been doing my housework while "watching" but mostly listening to this CRAZY BEAUTIFUL explore! Thank you so much for sharing with us! 💚 from New Zealand
The workmanship and craftsmanship cannot be replicated today. The details and scale are magnificent. Beautiful building indeed. Unfortunately these sorts of buildings are expensive to maintain. Hopefully someone with lots of dollars is able to buy this castle and maintain its beauty.
i miss the voice of Remon saying "indeed, indeed and true, true... i think the video is not complete without hearing those lines.. 😂 i really love all your videos, you have the same style with Bros of Decay... thank you for taking your viewers to these amazing castles and mansions..
You guys are so brave ! Love your adventure's ! This by far has been my favorite! What a treat. The smoke alarm was letting you know the battery needed changing. :-) Keep safe through your happy travels.
Did anyone else physically choke up at the beauty? Grilled cheesus, what a breathtaking place, it is one of those places where you could grab a couple of pillows, and a blanket, and pick a place and just look, at everything, in one spot for hours.....
Great explore! Suspenseful there at the beginning when we worried with you about a possible alarm! 😬 Pity you couldn't get into the tower, but the Great Hall was worth the risk and trouble! (Btw! Love the super nifty ladder in your Explomo tool box!)
The beeping isn't an security alarm they are usually silent. The beeping is the batteries needing replaced in the smoke or carbon monoxide alarm
Yes!
yup. Annoying at 2am. LOL!
My smoke alarm sounds the same when it needs new batteries xD
@@Good-DaySunshine they never go off during the day! 😂. And you run around the house at 2am trying to figure out which one it is.

Every word you used to describe this place was coming out of my mouth too! I really do not know how you will ever top this place, but I am here for it! This is truly beyond ahhhhmazzing. Thank you so much
Yes, the one cent currency you found from the United States is still in use, we call it a penny. It is 1/100th of a US dollar.
When I saw them my reaction was " What are those pennies doing there? tips? cheap customers! "
George Salas, probably just collecting them. I do from other countries. Plus in US sales tax is computed on the sales tax. Everything is plus tax
Was so happy to see Ramon in the beginning of video, hope to see him on the explores soon with you❤❤
BY THE WAY - the German phrase on the fireplace in the main entrance - erwerben und mitteilen mit der zeit touchs er - COULD BE translated as "Acquire and Communicate with (literally) the time he touches" which COULD MEAN if you don't translate literally - Acquire and share with the time you have (the time he touches - can be assumed to mean with the time you have or while there is time). I think some of the phrase is obliterated and not MUCHS as it is TOUCHS. At least that's my best guess. So inverting things a bit, "acquire and share what you have while you have the time (or with the life you have)"!! German is a difficult language to translate as it's often more "conceptual" than literal word for word. It's all about "the meaning" more than the words used to define it. Also in the small side room on the recessed seat - the "Ao DOM" is the same thing Anno Domini OR In the year of our Lord - or A.D. or as many think (wrongly) After Death - meaning after the death of the Lord. Just used to signify "in the year of" 1896.
I love homes like that. The architecture is amazing. They have character, personality, history. I hope the new owners restore it to its original glory.
It's beautiful! Just beautiful 😍
👁❤🇩🇪🏰. Such a tribute to the over engineering and steadfast nature of German spirit and architecture. What a beautiful country and rich history you all enjoy.
WHAT an AMAZING palace. But unfortunately, I think this is one of the absolute SADDEST video explorations - to see this grand building go to ruin as it is at this point. Such a sad, sad thing to see. If I only had the youth, the money, the time and the location - THAT would be mine to restore and preserve. Such a sad story indeed. But a great video and explanation of its history and its demise to this point. Surely somebody will pick up on this and fix it- hopefully. But if not, it will return to nature as so many of the places you all explore seem to do. And THAT would be both a tragedy and a travesty.
Wiki has had a new owner since 2021. In the future, it should be made accessible to the public again.
Ladder would be a lot easier and safer if it wasn't so close to vertical.
I loved all the details you showed of the architecture. Absolutely magnificent. When I see tall heavy doors, I'm impressed by the workmanship it took to hang the doors. It's hard enough to hang a regular door so it stands open. I loved, too, the beautiful and individually unique cupboards and side boards. Wow. They really tied them together for a one of a kind look. Thank you, Maureno, for all the work that went into this video to record, edit, put beautiful music to it. Wow, a lot of work!!
I often wonder how long and how many artisans it took to build a place such as this ?
Me too....i wonder how to built palace like that in the past.....without using modern tools
@@yanifitriyani9287 literally hundreds of laborers, most likely dozens of specialized artisans, and one primary architect. Probably took between 2 and 10 years to build the original structure, but based on the look of the place it seems like it has most likely been renovated, and added on to multiple times throughout its life, and that makes a final number on how long it took overall very difficult to calculate.
It's about the tunnels to cities underneath castles, museums, white house, courthouses, post offices, giant engineering firms, and what they do is human trafficking. It's not all they do, they are busy running surface earth but it's critical because of their diet to live a very long time and have tremdous energy as predators. So these castles and everything else is for show for the real games.
@@ouivalerie any source of information backing this claim, plz?
And just think of the sheer amount of time, horsepower and effort it took to move the tons of supplies up the mountain to even build it!
This was a grandiose hunting lodge with its gorgeous organic Art Nouveau artistic aesthetic seen throughout in all decorative, carved and painted elements.
Those amazing carved glass light globes, like pine cone are beautiful.
The heraldic motif glass windows in that huge dining room and the windows over the Grand staircase depicting game, foul & furry creatures were refined and beautifully executed.
Seeing the evidence of the electronic safety requirements of: various signs for Exits, the fire extinguisher, modern hinges on top of DR doors and other indications of the Castles conversion from Private Residential to Public Commercial space subtracted a little bit from the splendor. Yet, even still it was spectacularly finished with not a hint of anything being improperly done. First class at every juncture.
You are too funny, in the beginning saying 'we're gonna be quick'; then going in and giving such a great detailed explore of everything slow and close-up and tripod set-ups for entry narration. Haha!!
How long were you in there, two? three hours? ; )
I must say; that ladder climb up and down was scary.
Another amazing explore!!!
Just a regular penny from the US ... how lucky you are to get to go in such a beautiful place and explore it thank you for being respectful of it this is the first of your videos that I've ever watched I do believe I will be subscribing and binge watching what I've missed thank you from the USA 🇺🇸
I was hoping he would turn the penny around to see what year it had on it!
It often makes me sad that our country is not old enough to have buildings like this 😔
Yep a regular penny. Not super old. Older ones have what on the reverse. And yes The US still uses them. Our sales tax is computed on top of the purchase price.
This place is so beautiful. Have to admit, I was a bit nervous for you all at the beginning. Glad all turned out well, and you allowed us to see inside this amazing castle. I can only imagine why the way to the tower was not accessible, but at least you were able to video the beautiful entryway and some areas on the ground floor. God bless!
Absolutely beautiful! Loved all that wood all the details carved into the wood! Stained glass! Marble! That was not the main kitchen. But a build in. And I would have loved to have seen the original dining table that used to be in the dining room. Everything was incredible! Can’t even imagine the time and people that designed and built this place all those years ago. I truly hope they restore this place! 💜
Excellent video Maureno, You set the bar high! I do miss Remon saying "indeed indeed!
yes i miss Remon saying that too..:)
me too, why hasn't he been on?
Yo también extraño ,me encantan juntos explorando
Such talented artists with unbelievable imagination. I too would have liked to see the tower and bedrooms.
A castle that big would have to have an emergency tunnel exit/entrance. They all did back then, Should always check the woods around the 1800s properties like this beauty. Thank you! Great risk, great rewards, indeed!
Hello Maureno and Remon! Wow 😃 The Castle very impressive architecture outside and inside. All paintings ceilings, carved wood, marmol and the multicolor widows amazing 👏. I am thinking back to the red curtains one time to bring to the rooms. Thank you for your exploration and please stay safe! Big hug 🤗 ❤ 💖 ♥ 😊😉😷
What a beauty and a fabulous explore. Pity you couldn’t get to the tower but what you did see was spectacular!! Congratulations on your new office too 😀🌹
I've always found it interesting when beautiful structures make it through so many wars where you know people had an opportunity to be bitter and destroy them but something stops them from doing so. Not always sometimes we do see the ugly in people come out but when things like this survive when the odds were not good it's kind of heart warming to know that some people even in a time of war don't stoop that low.
be careful always god bless you both🙏❤️ watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Man.this brought tears to my eyes.. Well done gentlemen.
The beauty of RUclips..takes me places I will never see for myself.
Thank you for taking me there
So what a beautiful, magnificent, stunning castle I would love to live there and waking up to the beauty of it all.
Me too
kamangha mangha ang kastilyo nayan aah! subrang ganda.stunning .ngayunpalang ako nkakita ng kastilyu.ganyan.bigatin na talaga ang Explomo.kailangang bigyan ng time na panuorin.dami ads at no skip ads .thank Explomo.GOD BLESS!
Omg! Another fantastic video! I felt like a king watching it! Bravo Maureno Bravo! BTW, love your new office and nice to see Remo too!
I sincerely hope this castle will be preserved, used and hopefully open to the public for tours.
oh my! i love staircases and stained glass......yes i'm over the top happy this morning! omg THE most awesome i think i have ever seen! and once on the landing, took my breath away
Went down an urben explore RUclips rabbit hole, and found your channel. Of all channels like this, yours is by far THE BEST. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bros of decay is really good too.
This was so amazing. It seems the last couple of owners who used it as a venue/ rental hall, did close up those top floor rooms. These would have been amazing to see and I would imagine more decay would be found in them and in the castle. Perhaps budget constraints only allowed upkeep of the actual rooms that were used for the venue purposes- too bad we could get a glimpse of the basement floors either. But what a lovely explore! Thanks so much!
I agree with your thoughts. The commercial exit sign at the beginning showed it was getting used for some sort of venue
Nobody tells a story like you do, you ,boys are the best at explaining ,with much feeling,like you both do . I don,t watch anyone else. We just don,t get the experience you both give your audience … love you both and Thankyou so much😘😘😘😘😘😘
OMG!!!! The view and the location of this amazing castle is stunning 🤩 what a beautiful place, like a fairytale. So magical! ✨ So gorgeous from the outside and inside. What a great find! 🖤
The risk was worth the reward, absolutely stunning!
Looks to be in the Gothic revival, Pre Raphaelite style. What's the bet those false doorways were blocked off to stop people using the place for weddings from accessing the upstairs bedrooms and tower... otherwise the stairway makes no sense. There must be another access to those areas other than the main entrance.
The grand stair was blocked to the public. the servants stair would let you go up stairs
This is truly a gem. Love your new offices.
💖💖☮️☮️ Stay safe and well.
Yes we still use the 1 cent coin today in the USA.
We usually drop them and then don't pick them up or just throw them in a jar.
This place is so amazing, what detail and beauty throughout!! Thank you for showing us all of it with such care, I especially loved the glass ceilings! And I have good news: did some research and found that it is indeed ready for visitors, weddings etc from mid 2022 again! It is currently being renovated but at the moment they are offering photo tours for the super curious already (until end of the year). So it looks like this place has a bright future again!! Would love to go and visit it in person one day...
That is excellent news!
What wonderful news!! Thank you!
What an adventure! Love that ladder; so cool and compact!
It,s called a “Telescoping Ladder” check Amazon- we use on RV,s to click on roofs then folds up to carry onboard
Your respectful manner and true emotion for the detailed architecture are compelling enough to relieve you from the security breach and probable envy of the judge for undertaking the risk.
Hola maureno!! Impresionante que arquitectura ,detalles en todos lados preciosos ,los muebles tan trabajados y ni que decir de esa ubicación! Magnífico video!!saludos cordiales 👍
Absolutely Incredible!! The Architecture, the woodworking, the marble....what a Gem!!! Thankyou!
Beautiful place. I think the beep it from a smoke alarm, with a low battery. Mine makes the same noise when the battery is low.
Best explore, ever!!! I wish they would invite you back to film all of the castle, including the tower! Love your appreciation of all the work and details!!
Me gustó ese castillo es una belleza y los felicitos por el coraje de entrar en ese lugar soy Susana De Uruguay todos tus videos son muy buenos un gran abrazo a la distancia
Ohhh Maureno… Without a doubt… THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CASTLE that I have ever seen!!!❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍 The architecture, craftsmanship, woodwork, chandeliers, leaded & stained glass…majestic!!! All of this magnificent castle was breathtaking, gorgeous & phenomenal!!! There are not enough words in the English language, to describe the grandeur of this castle!!! I am sure that the upkeep of this property is astronomical, but this one of a kind gem is sooo very worthy of it!!! If not for you, I would have never gotten the opportunity to experience this wonderful property, sooo I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏 I would have loved to have been able to see the tower, but am thankful that you & your friends, risk life & limb to share this much of this magnificent property with us!!! I absolutely loved it & will have something to dream about for years to come!!! Thank you again 🙏❤️👍❤️
What a VERY awesome exploration!! Such a stunning castle, sad to see it go to waste. Thanks for taking the risk to document and share this location!!
Great video of Rothestein Castle! I am thankful none of you were injured using the ladder to scale the wall. Maybe the current owners will give you access to the second floor? I heard some parts of the grounds are still in the family 😉.
Especially when they sent the female down first. :)
Woow Maureno this is really an absolutely breathtaking location, full of the typical grandeur of the late 19th century imitation
style in the neo gothic way. - I already loved the stunning entrance hall with the magnificient huge chandelier - after my opinion -
an absolute masterpiece of metal work craftmanship!! - I really wonder, how the life of this rich man must have been back in the days,
when he was the builder and owner of that location. Imagine the original furniture, ..the servants, the parties, etc. etc. they were
most certainly celebrating from 1896 on. - This castle has really an incredible atmosphere as well. - Also in the other rooms and halls,
you were showing, there were so incredibly wonderful chandeliers and very decorative woodcarvings and beautifully designed ceilings,
as well as beautiful stained glass windows visible. - And - I am all the time nearly speechless, when listening to your beautifully
expressed introductions in very good English. - Also the exterior like the interior is in the same way breathtaking, reminding
me of a fairytale castle. It's somehow quite comparable, regarding the general architectural concept, to the famous
castle "Neu Schwanenstein" in Bavaria built by the king Ludwig II. - What an incredible explore, dear bro! - I got actually sweaty
hands, and my heart was beating faster when watching you all climbing up and down this ladder..... I am so glad, that nothing
serious has happened to you. - However all these risks, the difficult access to the castle, the scares of being spotted by security or
even being caught by police, really were consequently highly rewarded by unique and breathtaking sights.
Bravo Maureno, once more an absolutely incredible and wonderful explore video in the unparallelled high and very classy
Explomo quality - only in the same way comparable of course with Lesleys Urbex videos!!! - Wishing you all the best, much love,
peace and kindest regards. - Thank you so very much for sharing this memorable explore with us viewers!
N.B. I couldn't watch your vid already on Sunday, when you were uploading, because Lesley and his buddies
were on their way to my home for a memorable and very pleasant visit, where I was completely absorbed in taking care of them!
WOW! Holy Moses! The craftsmanship! I am of German decent and hope to get to Germany someday. American coins! This one cent piece is still used in America in 2021. I love history you have done this beautiful palace honor in your amazing video. Thank you for a great experience.
Such a stunning place. If only I could time slip back and see it in its full glory. G’Day from Australia 🥰🐨
What a beauty the stainded glass windows and the light falling through it shining in the colours on the floor and walls.
🏰 un castillo precioso bravo chicos por la exploración 👏💯👍❤🇨🇱
Oh, I especially loved the beautiful artwork of the colored glass windows...
Que penica 😔😔😔😔😔que hermoso castillo,impresionante 😲😲😲😲😲😲espero que algún dia, puedan reabrirlo,es una pena muy grande, espero subtítulos ansiosa 🥰🥰😉😉saludos desde España 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🙋♀️
A beautiful castle in a beautiful location. Thanks for the video and hope the new custodians respect it and do the work required.
Qué Mansión tan hermosa y en abandono, qué lástima... Ojalá y lo recuperen,junto con sus pertenencias,debe haber alguien que se encargue,o se encargue😀Mil gracias al grupo de Explomo,Felicitaciones por su trabajo y sean recompensados.👏👏👏💟💟😀😀😀👍👍👍
Climbing up and down the ladder made me so nervous. 🪜😬😳
Great video! 👏
The painting in the entryway foyer of the man sure looked like Bach the composer. Watching and captivated from Houston Texas.
Siento la misma emoción al entrar al castillo con ustedes chicos!, gracias por estas increíbles tomas!
Buenos días o buenas tardes a Explomo y a todos los exploradores de este maravilloso canal!! A los que disfrutan el verano y a los que estamos en invierno esperando que salga el sol, que tengan un increíble domingo de aventura en este castillo alemán. Saludos para todos desde Chile 🙋♀️🇨🇱✌️🙏😷♥️🌷🌄
Saludos de Portugal!
@@lsabelcochofel6318 muchas gracias Isabel. 🙋♀️😊🌻
Saludos Desde México !
Aquí es pleno Verano 😃
@@giselferrer hola Giss, yo en pleno invierno, pero por suerte en la zona norte donde vivo no es tan frío como en el centro y sur del país, tampoco tenemos lluvias frecuentes, pero si muchos días nublados. Un abrazo y cuídate. 😘🙋♀️
Hola marietta !!fue maravilloso este castillo
Never say never!!! Anything is possible Maureno...I believe that you will...You always find the most amazing places 💖💖
That’s called a smoke alarm guys 🙄 batteries low
This castle is soooooo Amazing! I hope they restore it and use it.
Es el castillo que mas me a gustado asta ahora los vitrales imprecionantes los grandes salones, escaleras y estructura, pero el tiempo no perdona y a comenzado el deterioro, un abrazo desde Chile
The way the light came through the stained glass in the main hall, so beautiful I could stand there for hours just watching the light cast across the room all day.
I can completely identify with living in a place like this.
Well ok, just the beeping smoke alarm part.
I love how you love & cherrish the era, time taken to build..with true craftsmanship
GRACIAS POR ENSEÑARNOS TANTOS LUGARES MARAVILLOSOS..
CONGRATULATION BOYS...
FROM CHILE....👍👍👍👍👍
Can’t get over the architecture and chandeliers in there. So wish you could’ve seen the rest of the castle I have a feeling it would’ve been incredible. Thank you for risking your necks to get that amazing footage.
Una bella exploracion 'magnifico castillo y abandonado 'y esta tan bien conservado ' realmente precioso y todo lo que esta dentro 'uno queda extasiado 'saludos de chile 🇨🇱
Just gorgeous. Such a magnificent castle. Pray some good hearted soul purchases it and restores it to its original beauty. It shouldn’t be left to ruin. That would truly be a terrible shame. If it could be a hotel again with places to eat would love to visit and enjoy. Thank you for such a beautiful video.
Beautiful place but it would have been nice to see upstairs or bedrooms.....
Stunning beauty... thank you for showing the details up close, and lingering on them so we can have a good look. The light quality from the windows is excellent and gives everything a lovely warm glow, calm, majestic atmosphere.
He disfrutado mucho con ésta exploración.
Todos los detalles son increíbles, en cada rincón hay algo Maravilloso 😍
Felicidades por su Nueva oficina, enhorabuena !
Gracias por compartir con nosotros 🙏
Besos Mexicanos virtuales para Todos 💋
What you were able to see was just amazing, thanks for the adventure. Hope someone can buy it and restore it for a business. The kitchen was very disappointing, but it was common not to let the cooks have a good kitchen.
It's a penny 1 cent the date should be on the other side. If they are older they are worth money usually. We still use one cent. Beautiful castle. Watching. From Pennsylvania USA.
Yes definitely from Kentucky usa
Hi Diana what part of Pennsylvania do you live? I am in Pittsburgh I love this Explomo.
When you went up the stairs, it appeared that behind those red curtains was where the access to the rest of the castle. My thought is that to stop people who were there for wedding venues the entrances to the rooms were closed off by block walls and plastered to hide the true purpose of those stairs. Stairs to no where makes no sense as there had to be a way to the rooms upstairs and tower from the main part of the castle that you were able to film.
This is an amazing place and I do hope it has been sold to someone who has a love for such beauty and they will restore the whole complex.
Thank you for taking us with you.
You would think they would let someone live there for free just to guard it.
Lol
.yah..me✌✌
I would GLADLY take on that role! 😊
Yeah, about 8 Rottweilers. Imagine that...
Wow!! You really took it to the next level with this Maureno!!
It’s a fairytale castle/Schloss for sure. The grand entrance hall and intricate ceilings and chandeliers have really stood the test of time. The backstory of the Barons who owned and lived there, plus the incorporation of some vintage photos of the place were really nice touches here.
Always wishing you a lot of success, plus the office is fabulous! 😉💪👍❤️
Pałac piękny ,a te witraże poprostu cudne 👍👍👍
Excellent job of filming this majestic castle. Thanks bunches for sharing it on RUclips
Too much of the "Antler Room." SO very interesting though! And wow...WHAT a place! ;)
😍💕 Have been doing my housework while "watching" but mostly listening to this CRAZY BEAUTIFUL explore!
Thank you so much for sharing with us! 💚 from New Zealand
" indeed , indeed " " true , true " Remon is funny
It is not the same! Without Remon saying "Indeed, indeed"!
The workmanship and craftsmanship cannot be replicated today. The details and scale are magnificent. Beautiful building indeed. Unfortunately these sorts of buildings are expensive to maintain. Hopefully someone with lots of dollars is able to buy this castle and maintain its beauty.
i miss the voice of Remon saying "indeed, indeed and true, true... i think the video is not complete without hearing those lines.. 😂
i really love all your videos, you have the same style with Bros of Decay...
thank you for taking your viewers to these amazing castles and mansions..
I loved how you show the cascading reflections of the stained glass on the floor and going down the stairs.
You guys are so brave ! Love your adventure's ! This by far has been my favorite! What a treat. The smoke alarm was letting you know the battery needed changing. :-) Keep safe through your happy travels.
Did anyone else physically choke up at the beauty? Grilled cheesus, what a breathtaking place, it is one of those places where you could grab a couple of pillows, and a blanket, and pick a place and just look, at everything, in one spot for hours.....
Great explore! Suspenseful there at the beginning when we worried with you about a possible alarm! 😬 Pity you couldn't get into the tower, but the Great Hall was worth the risk and trouble! (Btw! Love the super nifty ladder in your Explomo tool box!)
Incredible designs of wood in the whole Castle & the Architecture is Awesome
