Watching these URBEX channels makes me sick about the utter waste of it all. All the time, skill, and money put into buildings just to be abandoned and allowed to decay. It seems like giving them away to someone, or some organization that could make use of them would be better than just letting them rot away. Hell, we have people who've no place to live and yet we still have homes and buildings just abandoned. At the very least allow salvage crews in to get some of the parts of the building. That greenhouse was awesome, it'd cost a fortune to get that kind of ironwork done today. Some of the doors, moldings, and fireplaces, not to mention some of the windows in the older part of the building should have some value.

Oh my! I would love to buy that place!
SO MANY ABANDONED HOMES!!!!!! AND SO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE.😖🏚🏚 SAD 😢.🏘️
ما سبب هجرة هدا المكان انه غريب ممكن أين رحلوا وبقيت آثارهم ممكن جواب
I wish more explorers would take the time to find out the history of the property’s that they are sharing with there followers as you have done here , Thanks for your effort .
Bruce Beamon I love history and love when people know their stuff
I've stated the same. They literally could do documentaries that would have historical significance. I think I've just discovered a new career!
exploring with josh always does the history on the places he explores
@@taylorciofalo1390 he does now. Used to not.
@@taylorciofalo1390 Josh is a weener
It makes me so angry places like this are left to deteriorate, so much craftsmanship should never just be left like that
I so much agree with you!
G M I agree with you ...... I’ve seen so many of these beautiful buildings rotting away ... I know a few reclamation dealers and they have yards full of beautiful items that no one wants ..... at the end of the day it’s down to (as always) money. To refurb this place will cost a fortune .... to demolish & clear a site & rebuild for the future (sadly) makes a lot more sense. Few people like us love the history & architecture...... incase you are wondering I’m an architectural surveyor
Totally agree!!
We have property like that in our family, grandad loved the place and spent a fortune on up-keeping so much just to keep the grass cut it should have been illegal. When he passed the rest family was like the heck with the job of keeping up with all that so we just let it rot. If you are angry enough maybe you can start a foundation to buy these places and acuwally make some good come of them not just money sink holes .
@@Nathan-gj8ch curious- why did your family not try to sell it? Or just even donate it to someone/etc ?
This grand old lady would have been stunning in its day. I hope it stays vandal free. Thank you great explore
No problem glad you enjoyed!
@puppy droolsalot I have never seen something that screams "I'm an American" quite so loudly.
It would be a crime to raze such an elegant structure with so much history. It should absolutely be saved and restored. I hope the local people are successful in their quest to keep this mansion from being destroyed.
The fiance to up keep would cost a small fortune but it would be worth it the history the beautiful views that surround this mansion I would do it.
True. A really unique and picturesque hotel could be built in it.
I went to school as a boarder in the building you got into! The ballroom had a fantastic wooden floor, we would volunteer to polish it. It was fun, wearing dusters on our feet, the nearest I got to ice-skating as a child!
I was there before the extension were added on, the dormitory’s were a walk away through the trees. Once I was running back to the school for something in the dark and collide with another girl heading in the opposite direction. We had matching black eyes the following day. We wore slippers in school and our shoes were stored in the cloakrooms in the basement. We attended early Mass each day and the food was nearly all from the farm. It isn’t that isolated for Ireland there is a village 3 miles away. Sad to see it’s deteriorating so quickly, I remember the house and grounds being pristine.
needs a preservation order put on it, 300 years old can't belive they'ed be allowed to knock it down, what county is it in.
I went to school here my last year was 2000 then it closed down it was a beautiful place in its day.
Where in Ireland is it ? What was the name of the school ?
Yes was wondering the same!
Do you have pics of what it looked like when you were there? Would love to see them. This is heartbreaking 😞
@@patandrews4760 hi pat
Search Cahercon House, Kildysart, Ennis, Clare
Should find some photos there.
It was up for sale for 400k in 2017
I will just cry if someone doesn't save this structure. It is beautiful and the history that would be lost would be heinous.
This video is so different to all the ones I have seen, you are well articulated and highly educated, not heavy breathing and anxiety and shaky camera, felt more like a watching documentary, thanks
Yes. I found your narrative very well written. Keep up the good work!
You are absolutely right on. That was very well done.
Agree. There's only a few of these explorers I can bear listening to! Most repeat themselves. Come out with silly narratives, swear and make me feel dizzy panning the camera around. Now subscribing.
Based on the curtains at 13:08, I'd say 1974 is about right. Wow. Stunning place. I hope it's still standing and continues to do so. I can't imagine there'd still be running power and caretaker if there wasn't some kind of plan for it.
Your narration makes this so much more interesting.
I know. I like his voice.
@@spookygirl7761 I actually know him lol
@@narstietokez3713 lucky 😄

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING SUCH RESPECT
Incredible! I'm saddened everytime I see something so incredibly crafted allowed to waste away. Great narrative and storyline mate.
This would be such a lovely bed and breakfast place. The beautiful architecture and scenery would surely draw people in. Thank you for the exploration!
Those stained glass windows infront are so slick
Yeah, but far, far too modern a design to have been a part of the original build circa 1790. Also the glass is too cheap.
Daniel Fronc, it was probably installed when it was used as a convent. The design looks to be mid-century, perhaps?
There just aren’t places like this left. It would be an atrocity to tear this place down!!!🤔🤔🤔
back in texas many years ago we use to do what we called "old housing" we went in a old farmhouse and it was empty and long ago abandoned.. no furniture and buckets catching water from the roof. I went into a bedroom and it was fully furnished, and then I saw a small red light.... perhaps on a phone system... we left.
I grew up in a house like that. They are very spooky at night, even during the day. My mom was not happy there. She was always scared of something. My father agreed and we moved to a modern apartment.
zurdo z did you ever experience anything odd?
I'd just be scared of such an enormous house - especially if it didn't have several security cameras and guards on the grounds. Otherwise, I'd love to have all that SPACE to live in!!!
@@thedubexoticduring certain hours of the day, a complete silence fell over the house and lot. The birds stopped chirping. The silence was so "loud" you could not help notice something was not normal. Other than that I was too young to know.
Yes the Devil is n all these places
Sometimes, old big houses can be as haunted as small new houses that are built on haunted lands.
I live in a haunted home and work in a haunted shop (family-owned) here in Ireland. The cellar in the latter is as haunted as a catacomb, where you can feel ghostly fingers teasing your scalps and combing your hair, their airs blown into backs of visitors' necks. Above a cellar, we have over 50 souls haunting quietly in a room which was once a pub. Our shop is over 400 years old and it has been through a series of renovations over the centuries.
We keep all hauntings as secret as possible for fear of ridicule from locals or curiosity from ghost hunters. Few people from outside had detected hauntings in both our places. I knew their signs, when I saw them getting jitters, their lips quivering, fingers trembling. I got asked by few: "Is your home haunted?"
Luckily, there are always some spirits who have years looked after us and protected us from multiple dangers. If your home is haunted with a good defensive spirit or few, you are a thousand times safer there than in any place with dangerous burglars with knives. At home and workplace, I was multiple times saved from dangers like fires, burglars, stalkers, etc.
I have one regular spirit in my life and he is my guardian. For a fatherly ghost, he is very elusive, noiseless and undetectable. He remains invisible and mysterious. He never speaks unless necessarily. He swings into action, only whenever there are dangers in my proximity and he thwarts them quietly. In the presence of unwanted intruders and immediate dangers, I sometimes feel his winds of flitting movements inside rooms, even with windows and doors locked. His presence is always a blessing. Once a unsavoury customer came into our shop. Immediately, a ghost made a wind blast as strong as a gust. I felt his wind behind a counter where I was serving a customer whose behaviour was threatening and intimidating. Behind me, this spirit kept vigil over me and ensured no harm to me.
At the beginning, I was petrified of him, just because he was an unseen ghost whom I could not see and I therefore misunderstood him. It took me few years to acclimatise to his presence and realise him as my protector. In all the years, I have never seen any evil in him. He has over 20 times saved my life from stalkers, rapists, murderers and also from evil spirits. He has also responded to my emergencies like few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. He responds to crises too. Also, he goes everywhere with me, always thwarting dangers on my path and throwing criminals off their balance. He treats me like a child, most times never alerting me to immediate dangers and always keeping me in ignorance of them. I once overheard him calling me and my family "children" in his conversation with other spirits. He loves children, especially child visitors from outside. He keeps watch over them, especially when they go exploring our cellar. If they go ghost hunting, he gives them friendly scares like rubbing their scalps with his playful fingers. He does not leave them disappointed.
Thanks for the grand tour of this magnificent old Mansion! One good sign is that the roof must be in fairly good shape, only minor water damage overall. Maybe the caretaker's family and the local people can help restore this gem a bit at a time.💐
It's good to see how respectful you and your team are of the property.
What a beautiful building! I'm very impressed about your interest in old houses! I too love old historic houses! It's a shame so many are empty! But I'm happy this place hasn't been vandalised!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the history of the place- much appreciated
No problem happy that you liked the video
I respect the way you all explore these properties, always taking care to leave everything undisturbed, even turning off lights which you may have turned on during your walkthrough.
It's a lovely building alright, the stain glass is gorgeous. I can't believe this is not a listed building for preservation. I think a good use for it if it was done up would be to hire it out to groups of people for weekends and dos etc. There are some like this in England and they are always booked. The lake alone is total eye candy.
Thanks for sharing this Urbandoned. It is a beautiful mansion with 60 bedrooms. I had one but, 15 bedrooms only. Those were the days.
Luxury!
The item on the bed was not an axe, it was a hurling stick used in Ireland's national game, I still have two of mine.
Decaying but still beautiful thank you guys for showing!
Excellent narration, very professional with good information, it shows you did your homework researching this property, this is my first video from your page, will definitely subscribe. Thank you guys for providing us with such rare footage and being so respectful of the sites. Blessings to you all.
Fair play for giving the history of the building too, makes your channel stand out above the other urbex channels, keep it up lads ✌️
An abomination to stick all those modern wings on to such a beautiful home.
Yeah, I've always liked if you're going to build onto a property, then build it to match .
Sad, how people can have so much money, and so little taste. 😞
It's probably because it became a boarding school in 2002. In my old school ours was an old convent we weren't allowed into the convent because it hadnt been updated to fit safety laws. It can be cheaper to get an extension rather then update it apparently 😊
@@DarkShadowRealm
You have a cool name.
@@imhere653 awh thank you ♥️ it's very Irish. Which can be a pain sometimes 🤣
I just found you guys. Loved the video n this incredible mansion. Praying it will be saved n renovated. Much love from Nevada, USA. I subscribed too!
What a beautiful building! Would be awesome as some kind of grand hotel retreat
It would be so creepy being a caretaker of this big place!!! What an absolutely beautiful place though! The details were amazing you can only you imagine what it was like in its full usage! To bad it gone to waste to see crown moulding like that is just stunning! Can imagine if this was turned into a B & B place! Thanks for this video!!!❤️🇨🇦
It wouldn't be creepy, it would be absolutely lovely.
@@whoareyoutoaccuseme yes it would to have to maintain it not knowing someone is wandering round. Could be anybody
All those beds and work gear probably a foreign gang of construction workers as Irish or English lads would stay in a guest house or hotel we wouldn’t rough it . Fantastic Georgian building the architecture and decor where outstanding real pity the decay was getting a hold , can only hope the workies do a good job . Thx again for an amazing explore guys.
That’s a good shout, but more than likely they were remnants from the time the building had as a boarding school. Thanks for the kind works.
Would be awfully silly to stay in a hotel, rather than in the house you're renovating. And too expensive as well. But, I'm American.
It’s called human trafficking and modern day slavery. This place is being used by gangs for illegals, they’re probs just out at work for the day
Very impressive location..nice find! Great to see natural decay as opposed to vandalism and destruction. Some very nice details within the structure. When you think it was still in use after 2000 it's amazing just how quick nature has been claiming the building back.
Thanks man, it’s a nice one for sure. The transformation by decay is incredibly fast if the conditions are perfect
She is so beautiful, there is so much potential to rebuild. I would love to own and live in it. Great video my friend.
Someone needs to step up and restore that place! It has historical significance!! Such a waste. I would love to clean up that conservatory!!
Incredible place! Places like this could be used to help homeless people, in return for a place to sleep, they could help to tidy the place up and do some much needed repair, restoration and maintenance work etc 😎👍
Or itt would make a perfect retirement or care home. 😎👍
Amazing find . I can just imagine the Horse and buggy pulling up out front to pick up the homeowner.
The beautiful thing about this video to me is the fact that kids your age are into video games. You all on the other hand find beauty in history. Amazing video. I see a big future for ya.😉
You guys appear to be very young in the video. Yet, your presentation and explanation of this abandoned place was the best. Your camera work was very professional and your description of the property was impressive. Better than other explorers who have been exploring for several years. Not to say that you haven't. Great job!!! 😊

Beautiful house can imagine what it would it was like in its prime 👍🏽
You popped up in my recommendations, I thought I’ll have a look but it’ll be rubbish. Wow! I was totally wrong. What an amazing video, full of the history of the property, stunning filming, and loved your descriptions. You blew me away. You are the BEST explorers I’ve found, so I’ve subscribed, hit the like button, and going to go back and watch some more of you explorations.
Interesting place. Thank you for the way you filmed, narrated, edited, made it enjoyable to watch. and thank you for turning the lights back off and being respectful to the place.
I've just started watching some of these kind of programs and was so happy to hear the background of the building.
If only I had enough money... Seeing this beautiful structure left to rot makes me cry.
Seems to me that the room described as a 'ballroom' was used as the school,s chapel. The premier window in the bay is filled in and the stained glass either side looks to be from the 70s (?). This bay space would create the perfect place for a pulpit or lectern. Also, in one scene venturing into the school addition, you can see the outside of the bay, flanked by stained glass, and there is a cross on the filled-in part of the bay window.
Lovely tribute to a beautiful building and grounds in a breathtaking location. It’s certainly miserably cold and damp in winter but spring and summer must be lovely. I too appreciate your doing some digging into the history of places you see.
The foundation is restoreable for people to give the the rightful love it deserves 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I can imagine a costume series in this house. The details and the huge greenhouse is perfect.
Glad to know that there's at least a caretaker. So it looks like he's got a big job. Thanks for letting us know!
The view of the lakeside is phenomenal. Doesn’t look too hard to renovate. Surprised it has been neglected.
Old mansions like this shouldn’t be sitting abandoned. Such architecture and workmanship should be preserved. Mystery how the power is still connected.Surely someone must be paying the bills. A great video though.
Thanks a million for your likes to my comments. God bless 😇 and, keep safe. Until your next adventure. Good luck.
At least someone is trying to stave off destruction, A piece of the past that modern people can hardly believe existed. A time machine of wealth and privileged. Thanks for the Chances you took to record it.
No worries, the chances make it very exciting sometimes. Glad it was worth it
I would like to see more of the house itself rather that the modern building.
Thanks guys, what a beautiful building so tragic so many are left to simply decay and fall down. 👍
It's clearly too big and expensive (with all the repairs included) a project for a regular architecture enthusiast to take on, so this would be a great place to restore and make into a hotel. I hope someone fixes it up some time soon.
😢😢😢😢 I wonder why they closed the boarding school, it's so perfect , can be revamped back ,there arent many boarding schools and some parents just doesn't have enough time to look after their kids, wow I just enjoyed this video...My heart so sore for this place ,it can be the perfect orphanage as well...Great job guys
Breaks my heart so see history and beauty decay away❤️
Melba Bowen sounds like Ireland 🇮🇪 alright
I went to school here my last year was 2000 then it closed down it was a beautiful place in its day.
Thank you for showing the architectural details and taking so much care. What a grand lady, she would make a gorgeous hotel! Such a shame.
That is awesome young men,so happy We got to see it so sad it couldn't be kept. If those wall would only speak .thank you very much for taking us along
It breaks my heart to see such dereliction... timeless, historical, architectural treasures that tell a story. If those poor walls could talk. . .
This would make a stunning hotel. For people who only want to relax, unplug and enjoy the beautiful views. What a crime to lose a gorgeous gem like this. With some cash flow and maybe combine a couple of rooms to make suites this would be amazing! Oh to be wealthy. If only to save this beauty!
The old part of the building very interesting. Go watch old movies like Vercilla, Emma, King Author, King Henry, Queen Elizabet and Queen of Scott and see how the mansion would be decorated, the big ballroom filled with ladies dressed in their big dresses wearing cosets underneath. The men in wigs or bun style hair. They pull up in their fancy carriages and how fancy they was different from income. Love seeing homes like this and seeing the look of them in movies.
Would love to explore these old places I’m amazed at the architecture and the antiques !!! I live in America wonder if there are abandoned places here close by me I think it would be so exciting to explore!
In regards to the beds, if this was used as a college at one point it would explain why, obviously students would have resided here. Such a beautiful place.
It was a boarding school that's why they are beds in every room mattresses don't just fall apart especially if they are in internal room
Jo Feeney This is no boarding school this looks more like a sex trafficking center for children
That wasn't an axe, that was a hurley. It's used to play the sports of hurling and camogie.
Love this, nice to hear the interesting commentary without swearing, well done lads.
So sad to think the happier times that it would have seen. Love your respect for places like that and for the architecture. Would have loved to do what you guys do.
The light and space in this mansion would be perfect for artists and craftsmen and women to use.🎨
Lovely green house and stained glass windows
Looked like a chapel, not a ballroom. There were crosses etched into the glass doors where you entered. Stained glass was there the pulpit was, and there was a cross on the outside wall between the two stained glass windows. Probably a multi-functional room though.
Who builds a chapel inside their house?
@@SergeantExtreme Rich people? I don't know why you'd etch crosses into a ballroom door or have one on the outside of the building. Maybe they just liked crosses.
If it was a school then there was most likely a chapel made in it later on. That's not a strange thing in Ireland. They did say it functioned as a convent too. The school I went to had a convent and chapel.
Am greatful you shared it. God bless 😇 you both and keep safe. Until your next adventure. Good luck.
Thank you :)
As an Arch Designer, just by this explore, so much needs to be torn down, BUT, it could be saved.LOTS OF $ and LOTS OF DEDICATION! Esp the main salon. Such artistry cannot be found ANYWHERE! It is hand plaster designs. No one does that any longer. I could never stay there alone. Check for lead and asbestos.
Such a beautiful building! I would much rather live in a piece of history than any modern building!

Wow... I would love to see that beautiful home... If walls could talk, oh the story's it would tell... The Ball room was amazing. Loved the stained glass ..
Amazing architectural detail inside the beautifully old mansion.
I usually don't subscribe to these, as most do the same things. Plus know very little about it. You guys do different structures, you try to find history, info on the place. The biggie for me, is you are VERY respectful of the building. Going to subscribe to your channel. Keep the great tours up...
It had to have some docking area for boats. Then access is not so remote.
Stunning.
You are much better at this than any I have seen in Europe. You do your home-work, and you say when it was built, and you slow down on the lovely details. Thanks!
Your commentary and research is outstanding. Thanks for yet another great xplore and look forward to a time when you can get out again.
Stay safe.
60 bedroom! Wow! Beautiful stain glass.. so sad to see the decay..quite a history for one building…. Hopefully it will be used again..
Absolutely fantastic mansion to get inside the details on the ball room ceiling was outstanding beautiful the details and especially when light were on it showed up everything fantastically on the painted walls etc and also the coloured stained glass window was so amazing to see it was a jem with hardly any damage 👍🏻😊
Such Art Deco stained glass with eyes.
Like they’re watching you in there.
That mansion sure would shine up pretty with major TLC💫yard work.
Wow, wow , wow and wow again. there is no point in me trying to add what you guys have already said and shown. This is just urban exploration at its best. the adrenaline must have been pulsating throughout your visit, every second
Well done, guys! Thoughtfully done and brilliantly presented. The background research that you do is the cherry on top and makes this a thoroughly entertaining and informative clip. Top drawer stuff, the best I have seen so far on RUclips.
Love watching these videos before i go to bed. So calm
You all carried out a great Vid guys. Well presented, produced and running commentary stunning guys. Many thanks and well done.
Just ran across this vid, this mansion is beautiful the architecture is stunning. Such a shame it's rotting away. Thank you for being respectful. On to the next. TC&GB.......
Not so forgotten since someone is paying the power bill.
Looks lovely ke may have been used as old folks home or youth hostel at one time.
- 🤷🏼♀️
good point..
The power company has to send someone out to shut off the power. If useage is minimal, they may not even bother. That or the meter readers may not be willing to go out to somewhere that is abandoned or shady, so there may not be useage recorded.
The power is working ... I wonder if the heating is! I bet it's full of rats and mice though.
Keep in mind where there is power you will find squatters who enjoy the same amenities we do such as running water and electricity. Updates in the mansion 5:59 - 6:03 stain glass window replacement done in 1930 during the Deco era in the ball room.
The mansion was so very beautiful. I loved the stain glassed Windows in the ballroom they were absolutely overwhelming. Keep up the great work. God Bless you from Betty Jones in Clinton , Oklahoma
Fascinating find, guys. Another good explore. Suspense. Risk. Discovery. And I like that you include some history. And you always show respect to the property.
WELL DONE LADS, AN INTELLIGENT WAY TO COVER WHATS GOING ON ...
This house is stunning! The detail and stained glass windows are beautiful!
Very well thought and informative narration. Well done guys, you have a new subscriber ! Loved this video.
