- I travel north of Durham to visit Sculptor Robert Mihaly's Abandoned Castle Mont Rouge in Rougemont, North Carolina. 957 Mountain Brook Rd, Rougemont, North Carolina, 27572, United States goo.gl/maps/As...
What an amazing place!! All those finials, wavy roofs and windows of various shapes!! O hope something can be done about preserving this unique piece of architecture! Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting!!
Not only is the introduction much better than most abandoned exploration videos Ive seen, the rest of the video is top notch as well
Cool..would love to see it restored,would be beautiful..Back before we had kids,we use to go exploring in the woods in North Cove,NC when we lived in that area..found quite a few old foundations of homesteads in the deep woods,some with partially standing chimneys.Amazing what you find just walking in the woods..
I'm Just now seeing this video.Thank you for sharing.Extremely interesting and yet sad.Someone poured their heart and money into the planning and building.The details of the windows and upper ceiling are amazing.I appreciate your compassion
+Candy Santillo You are welcome and thank you for your comment.
Hope that someone can restore this gem of a property someday.
This is a great share♥️ would love to see this castle 🏰 restored. Happy New Years🍾✅
Happy New Year StorytimewithmissTy I Greatly Appreciate You! Thank You!
hello James Hey great video. showing you support from James Cox's channel. Liked, Subbed and added your video to my supporters playlist. Much Love
there is now a big fence up around the property. I visited this summer (live nearby) and talked with the guys putting up the fence. they were fed up with vandals and trash.
Samantha Giles can you get over it?
Danggg I want to go check it out
That is so sad! Bad people ruin good things and now we can't go "discover' it. We were hoping to make it an episode on our channel. I'm so happy I read your comment first. Thank you, Samantha!
I live super close to it also. Do you know if it was ever finished? No one talks about it much around here
Have no idea why I have not crossed paths with this video befor now. This was a Terrific and interesting Explore!
+PrairieDodgers Thank you.
Seeing how respectful people were at this property you can just tell how awesomely neat & tidy their own crap is.
Ok, so i read that he was building the house and his wife died and he was to depressed to finish the house. Some say she is still alive but they are now divorced, so the house is in limbo. The article i read was dated July 22, 2016, the pics of the castle don't look as bad as in the video tho, and this is dated 2yrs prior 2014. Anyhow the woman who had taken the pics, had drawn his attention and he showed interest in finishing the place he even started a go-fund-me page and she donated $200 and he had other donors also but, he never raised enough so the money was returned. He was glad to see people were interested in the place and if he had raised the money he promised to have a big party there, also in the pics there was one of his sculptures in the house an angel holding a cross lol i'm sure it's gone now or even broken by the freakin vandals. That's all i could find out, i hope you all found the story interesting, i did. Thanx
Wow it is s lovely I.know a people in sca would love to help t
Re build it may be.it could br turn in aliving learn castle village. Anf yoi could have ren fairs
Great story sad not enough money to build 🦋
I thought it looked like it had never been finished.
Such an interesting video. Enjoyed this adventure with you...
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow nice castle nice place thanks for sharing
awesome find. Great location. Interesting windows. Loved it.
How very sad that this unique home has been destroyed by vandals and time. So sad!!
thanks for sharing looks fantastic there
its being worked on again now.. trees been cleared off and chain link fence around property.
It would be so much fun to fix it up! It's been a dream of mine to build a tiny castle in the woods.
Thank you for your support I really appreciate it.

HEY I am here in the list from I am a creator again. Good to see you again. WOW what a mess. Such a shame :( The outside is cool though.
I wonder if those little things were play houses?
THe vandalization is awful
I would be scared up there in that place.

Very unique! Wish it would be restored! And make money for tours!! Thanks
Also the castle was built in 2005 and in January of 2016 a fence was being put around the place to either keep vandals out or rehab the place. That would be nice!
Wow so much destruction to that wonderful place! Too bad! Not sure why people have to do that sort of thing.... thanks for the awesome tour of this historical treasure, James! It was very interesting!
That is amazing. I'm originally from Knoxville, TN and have only recently seen the Biltmore house there in Asheville, but this place is neat. Even though it is rundown, it's still a grand place. You're brave doing all the climbing. My hubby and I used to go out and explore old mining sites in the middle of nowhere in Kofa Wildlife Range outside of Yuma, AZ. Lots of washes look like canyons when you're down in the washes and so my hubby liked to climb the faces of those. Not me. Too chicken. That and I was too busy looking for wildcats and gold nuggets in the busted up quartz. lol.
I can be pretty adventurous. Thank you for watching and supporting.
I'm in Raleigh so not far away at all. He stopped building due to his wives death. The outside was complete, and the inside was not all the way complete. (obviously) but when his wife died he stopped. He wanted half to be his house and the other half his studio. He also had stated that he started to seriously think about going back in late 2014 but its 2016 most doubt he will. Pretty sad situation. You lose your soulmate and oh how life can change in a snap. The stone probably can be saved but it would have to be gutted, such a waste of money. I pray he finds peace. Thank you for the video.
+Kim Cook Thank you for your comment.
Hope you are well James! you are awesome!
Amazing!!!!! Thankyou for sharing
Thank you!
Hey, there I ran across this video this morning I didn't know you did abandon exploring. Not to bad nice house will have to investigate further.

Have watched first 10 minutes :) Thumbed up :)
Wehey! Your beard matches now! 😍😍😍😂🏆🥳🙏😈😏😘 xxx p.s. Love exploring places! 🤪
He sounds like Christopher walken!! Great video!!
This is an old video.The man that owns the castle is slowly fixing it up again.That video is from a year ago.
I dreamed of this before I knew it existed. I am from North Carolina too which is weird.
Youre the one the prophecy foretold of.
LOL! Maybe! = : )
Lol
j greaser I was watching another abandoned mansion video and was like omg I've drempt this place before. Very weird feeling even the steps were missing 😳
Nice video bro. Thank you for sharing your video
I just went here earlier today, completely accessible, it's not too hard to get to
Must have been really beautiful once upon a time (:
After destroying it still looking interesting.
Looks impressive
Looks like a Disney castle. A fantasy place.
*Kathryn, thank you for watching and thank you for your comment. It does look like a Disney castle.*
Awesome architecture. If it were to be restored I'd add more windows though to make it more livable.
Nice video my friend :D
Already joined your channel, so here to support you with watch time...Cool looking place, to bad so much damage, would be great if it could be restored at some time...
He is now working on it.
Love this place, it has a peculiar mystique to it, something a little spooky & Paranormal (that's the feeling I get ne-how.!) I think it was in a little better condition when Dan Bell was there...
Thanks for exploring, p.s. R U a Brit - #Playschool
It is indeed a shame that there are people out there who think they need to trash everything.
What an amazing trip to explore the ruins of Castle Mont Rouge in Rougemont N.C. I had never heard of it. It is a shame tha valdals have destroyed it.
Who did you talk to in order to get on the land? A friend and I were out that way but everything was fenced off and padlocked with cameras since it's private property. There were no trespassing signs and there wasn't a number to call :/
It's called breaking and entering.
It is an amazing place! I'm traveling around the USA in my 25 foot class A Winnebago Warrior motorhome with my little dog Tinkerbell making videos

He is my art teacher!!! He is so fun!!
Is he working on it again?
Trishcraft I texted him recently and he said he was working on the roof... this was in October 2019 I believe
i Love these videos... don't understand why SOMEONE doesn't take over these beautiful buildings BEFORE they're falling into too bad of a conditon to fix and make them beautiful and usefull again..
Amazing place, so sad it in that condition
+KerryG would love to complete construction on this place ... bet it would have been gorgeous
I live right up the road from this place. Last I heard, he didn't make his fundraising goal to start rebuilding. I have been there a few times. It is absolutely gorgeous, but a very sad sight at the same time. Don't know what the latest info is on the place. If someone does know, I would like to hear about it.
+Sherri Edge I have spoken to Robert and I know that if the money could be raised that he would finish the castle and put it to good use.
I really wish he could! So sad for such a wonderful dream to go to ruin. Don't really have any money to donate, but would be glad to donate mine and my family's time to help out. Neighbor helping neighbor.
+Sherri Edge Yes I'd love to donate all my money and time to this random man to help him build his dream mansion in America. So that way he can live in his mansion happily ever after, wtf?
It is not for him! It is for his daughter. He was building this castle for her when tragedy struck his family and he gave up on his dream. Maybe if someone treated you the same as you are suggesting he be treated, you wouldn't be so close minded and have ill will towards others. Unless you know the story, don't stick your foot in your mouth and make yourself look like the biggest jerk ever! Besides, I said donate time, not money. If you don't have time to donate to help others, get off your phone, computer, ipod, or whatever and grow some social skills!
+Sherri Edge It was for his daughter? Even less of a reason to give anything.
A very awesome find. I'll have to do some research. I would love to know why he abandoned it. It is a shame the folks came in and destroyed what was finished.
Happy New Year Velvet Celieste We are celebrating the 1 year birthday of #IAmACreator on Feb 1 12PM EST! make videos and tell people on social media. I Greatly Appreciate You! Thank You!
I heard the owner is actually fixing up the place. I hunt literally behind the building on the backside of the mountain I see it every fall
Could someone give me directions to this place...I live in High Point, NC.
+Lee Goins If you share the video on facebook, twitter, google plus I will tell you exactly where it is. Okay?
+James Cox ok, just shared it...
guess you didn't plan on hold up your end of the deal...
and people wonder why I don't trust people...SMH
+Lee Goins 957 mountain brook rd, rougemont, nc 27572 thats the address ive been there couple of times and its beautiful i wish people didnt vandalize it. if you go be careful last time i went a few months ago cops showed up there right after i let.
+Lee Goins Sorry I was busy here you go: 957 Mountain Brook Rd, Rougemont, North Carolina, 27572, United States goo.gl/maps/AsA1Uum4ixw
I bet in it's day this home was amazing.
Hi James, Nice video, you should see what they did since then.
So unique....too bad punks broke the windows. So sad they couldn't finish building it, would have been great.....thanks for this wonderful video.
By the way James.... I grew up in Dunedin Florida and I think we are about the same age... my name back then was Terry Huff and I think I remember a James Cox in our yearbooks....did we go to school together? I graduated from Dunedin High School in 1983 I was a Dunedin Falcon... were you?
how much if buying the castle
it will look great restored with a team of ten people could take 12 month great work of art
Looks like a film set to me I've worked on a few of these, all sub standard.
Like 708 great video big like from us thanks for sharing cheers #IAmACreator
Thank you!
"Let's have a look at the square window" - The Moles
Looks to me like this was never completed...so interesting to know this is in NC
You can plainly see it was never finished. It was still under construction when it was abandoned
Why was it abandoned?
Just enjoyed seeing it...too bad all the windows were broken out...Vandals are such a waste to ALL of the empty properties out there. I don't understand why they must destroy....If you have to leave your presence known....write on the wall...that can be covered up....Thank you for your video......
I went up there today. If it was finished it would be beautiful. The only bad thing is that long ass driveway. Its fenced in and someone has built a house beside it.
Did you get any pictures or video?
nah I didn't because it was fenced in and I didn't wanna trespass
it doesn't look like the video no more. they have a bulldozer down there now
looks like they're clearing it off
frankie jones Clearing what off?
I saw a video of this house a while back before the vandals got there and it was a nice place, shame it wasn't taken care of.
I will never understand why vandals and taggers enjoy destroying property like this. What a shame! This place could be spectacular if it were finished!
wow really interesting. Crazy steal doors on that work shop.they dont make them like they use to. lol
What an amazing place. I really hope it gets restored / finished. Gutting that vandals have trashed it. They should have their hands 👐 cut off, the bastards. 😡
Hebe Goncalves Oh it is being restored right now, by my father Robert. Thank you for the sympathy.
Hebe Goncalves Oh it is being restored right now, by my father Robert. Thank you for the sympathy.
This is only a few miles from where I grew up. It's in Person County, NC.
Gary Hardin is it safe to visit?
deeaplw last I visited, this summer, there was a fence being built around the property and I was told not to go in.
What's the address would love to purchase it
11:17 WOW look at that ceiling
it was on the market I wonder why they took it off?
I couldn't watch very much as I got seasick from all the motion. Too bad too because it looked interesting.
Yeah the quality doesn't justify having 13 total add rolls on this video.
Thanks for posting. Such a unique place, too bad it was never finished. And so sad, as always when people trash places like this. Wonder just what kind of rotten people do something like this!!! I'm 72 and would never get to see places like this for myself, especially since I'm in Utah and am without the means to go to place4s such as this. Thanks!!!!
You are welcome and thank you for watching and commenting.
Where is the owner now?
The owner is fixing the place up.
Concrete Canvas Rolls???
did anyone actually live there for a while,back when it was first built
Yes the guy that built it / was building it lived there.
Thank you,I wish there were some earlier pictures, this place is beautiful
out this world neoclassical house in the right area
so beautiful and sad. is the property for sale?
+Lois milare I do not think so.
It's too bad someone can't preserve it. Thank you for filming it
Lois milare I know that if someone came up with some money or money was raised on a campaign or something, that Robert would probably restore it. Thanks for watching.
THAT MAKES MY SAD.WHATS HAPPENED IN THE LIFE OF THE PERSON WHO WAS BULIDING THEIR FAIRYTALE CASTLE.
Is it ok to go in the property? I have a friend who would love to take pictures of this place.
it's a shame he didn't get to finish it
I would pay so much money to restore it and live there
+Princess Of Slytherin Would be no obstacle for the princess, and her royal entourage.
+Princess Of Slytherin Do you have $65,000?
James Cox think it would cost more than sixty grand to fix that place up. Would need a minimum of three million I’d imagine.
It wood make a great bed and breakfast....
looks like someone bought it for $16k about 8 years ago and some of the surrounding land. Doesn't look like they're going to fix it any time soon :(
Started building when.?
Abandoned when.?
+Austinniya Wells It was abandoned around 2008 I think he started building it a few years prior to that.
Do you think it's safe to film a video here? We're looking for awesome places to film.
+UnderWaterFilms I know the owner and what is it that you want to film?
We want to film spray painting and graffiti. JUST KIDDING (it was a joke). We do action, comedy, documentary type videos. Is this a cool place to film?
I can be
+UnderWaterFilms need any actors?
Went there today-very sad-the road to get there is virtually washed out in places-a whole community to drive through to get to the end of the road. Vandals have indeed done their best to destroy every window...it's been abandoned long enough that the "view" is gone. Having said that, it sits on 9 beautiful hilly acres with hardwoods and big boulders. Must have been bargain property back in the day as it is a very eclectic neighborhood you pass through to get there. 4 wheel drive or a truck recommended unless you drive real-l-l slow ! :-) Roofs are like something out of Dr. Seuss. But I think if someone had the kind of money they would need to bring it back (it was actually never finished) they would simply start from fresh on a new piece of property.
+M Theresa Brown $65,000 is all it would take to get it finished.
Does it have a basement?
+Garland Langley No!
+James Cox can you send me a email i got a few questions
GLANGLEY85@gmail.com
Can you private message me the questions via RUclips, please?
Not sure how to do that on RUclips
20 mins from my home & I've never even heard of this ...
Is there asbestos in this place?
+Jonny Necrosis No.
+James Cox Okay thank you.
Hold still the camera please...!
Ok will do!
Surprised you went alone.
Wonder why owner left
He never finished it
Idk but he my art teacher now 😂😂😂
aHas it been sold yet?????
Nice one
