    The item hanging on the wall is an old bed warmer. You would put hot coal's in it and run it between the sheets.

    I just can’t get over how in Europe people abandon their homes. Even more strange is how they leave family heirlooms, photos and paper work, etc. behind. Then people don’t steal things or vandalize the homes. Why do you think that is?
    Thank you for sharing your explorations. I love it.

      its deep in the countryside. aside from that, the real valuables have been stolen already, the rest is pretty much crap, if you manage to haul that shit to an antique dealer you might fetch about 2000 euros in total.

Also, you need lots of money for the upkeep and politicians in Europe are working hard round the clock to ruin our continent so understandably the market is dead

    I'm watching this video and your buddy said he didn't even know there were cameras back then (1916). That comment tickled me. My grandmother had her photo taken between 1910 and 1914. Most photos during that time had a brownish look to them, but good photos. I enjoyed this video; thanks for doing it.

    • @ondreacounts2556

      I loved the part about the "Japanese", then African, wall art...lol. The subject was wearing a turban with the reins of CAMELS. BUT, he caught on. It was ironic, as I thought I heard him literally say in intro, then out go..."I'm gonna pet my camel", which I still am wondering what that even means? Maybe it was something about his camera, lol...idk!!😄

    Been finding your videos recently and decided to subscribe. Cannot thank you enough for NOT DISCLOSING locations! Numerous other top channels do that and it's maddening, especially since they don't respond when you call them out for it. As you said, places get trashed fast once they're well known, but they're especially endangered when channels with a million viewers tell them all exactly where/what they are and even how to get into them. It's grossly disrespectful...Anyway, really liking your videos and locations, and this one was great! Nice work! 👍

    Great video..thanks! People used newspaper for lots of things in the past. Any wrapping from fragile to fish. It was used to protect the tables and floors from heavy traffic. In the garage and barn it was used as well for everything including putting it on the floor like floor dry. In many old houses when you tear out the walls you will see newspapers used as insulation. Can you imagine if a fire started? Lol. Yep newspaper could even replace toilet paper in the out houses!!!

    Hi Big Bankz at 19:34 that is a bed warmer. They put coals in it and then put it in the bed but Doctors found out later that the fumes from the coals were noxious and suggested that they be replaced with hot sand. My sister would heat large filet rocks on the fire and once she was ready to go to bed she would place the in the bed at the feet area under a blanket so not to burn her feet but she loved the hot rocks. Very nice place. Thanks for sharing the beautiful video!😊❤

    Hey Big Bankz, I can't figure out the layout of this house or what they used the rooms for. I think the Chateau had already started to decay way before they abandoned it, it is too far advanced for 2014, the maintenance is in the thousands per month, I think they stay for as long as they can before they finally have to leave. The round pan on the wall is a bed warmer. Great video as always. Love from NY.

    Newspapers used to be saved to light up fireplaces during winter. We could never have enough, even when you run out of wood inside in the middle of the night , we would roll up tight a bunch and that holds a fire for a while... Also, people would save newspapers containing information about their business or life...
    I am sure you could have learned a lot by reading material kept in that armoire with files
    The oval shell is Abalone, a delicacy 😋

    The pan w/a lid & the long handle that's hanging on the wall that you commented on that you didn't know what it was, well, I'm going to tell you what it is. It's called a Bed Warmer. Back in the day, hot coals from the fireplace were placed inside & the lid was closed by a little lever that's at the end of the handle & they would slide it under the blankets to warm up the bed before climbing in to sleep. Most ppl kept it under there throughout the night so it helped in keeping them while they slept.

    It's obvious that someone in the house was sick. It's likely the owner passed, family or whoever came took what furniture they wanted and left the rest to rot or for someone else to deal with it. While possible the owner was murdered I would doubt the story, looks more like he was very sick. Most likely elderly by pictures etc.
