When you were looking at the "stuffing" in the chair, I don't think it was straw, but horsehair. Back in the day, that's what they used, hair from a horse's tail. Beautiful antiques in the home! Now a days, young people here in the USA, don't like them much. I personally, love them, but I'm not young! LOL!
My mom told me once about their parlor that no one was allowed to go in unless they had company. Then it was usually only adults. When she got older and was given the privilege to go in she got to sit on the sofa. It was pretty but horsehair. She said very prickly and itchy and was pleased when she was dismissed from the gathering 😏.
Hi Lesley and Jordy, Bros of Decay, Just shortly before I was on my way to sleep, your latest video popped up. - Of course I could not resist watching, and I must say once more: amazing! - You always surprise me in a most agreeable and pleasant way. - At first it is just a pure pleasure walking in mind together with you through these once back in the days very grand looking rooms with their fading beauty nevertheless still visible. - Then by listening to your lovely voice narrating in a most interesting and inspiring way, what you are seeing and experiencing, the items in these abandoned slowly decaying rooms seem to gain a new life. - Just wonderful! Also Jordy was doing as always an excellent job with his camera. - I hope you are well and wishing you all the best. Peace, blessings and kindest regards from Switzerland. - Take care and stay safe in these insecure times.
Hey Willy, My dear fan and friend by now! Thank you for this pleasant and amazing comment. Currently speaking I am on my last trip before europa goes on lockdown. Please be safe and we will meet later :)
@@BrosOfDecay , You are very welcome, and it's my pleasure! What a lovely feedback from the Bros of Decay. - You really made my day, - and yes, I am every day very careful and trying to stay as safe as possible. Switzerland is practically locked down by now.- Blessings and kind regards.
I loved the double doors on the bedrooms and all the transom windows in this place. Like some of the other people commented, I was amazed at the condition of this place, considering the age. Great camera work, Jordy. I felt like I was walking in each room with you.
The bed you said reminded you of a boat is called a sleigh bed. Think: a sleight (sled) ride in the snow. The reason you see lots of them in Europe, as we do in America, is because their origins is French and American. Beautiful old home.
biedermeier epoch we call it in germany around 1850. actually its from germany who brought it it to the US as they immigrated and made up a high percentage of citizens in the US. This design is spread all over the house especially the sofas www.dorotheum.com/en/l/5518515/
Hello Lesley, I enjoy your videos immensely. You have a wonderful voice for narrating and your respect for these marvelous places makes for a very professional production. Through your narrating, one feels the soul of these special homes and the people that once dwelt in them. Your videos are by far the best in this genre. Peace to you and yours.
You always make the houses seem more real and livable. I’ve said before, I didn’t know the Portuguese were such elaborate furniture makers. Sleigh beds, triple chairs in hall, innovative ideas.
Love the old furnishings that are left in these abandonded homes.It helps foretell the past and how these families lived. Nice explore, Lesley and Jordy!
Q1 1st this was a really beautiful home in its time, and is still not in nearly as bad shape as many others of similar age. I noticed some glasses in the cabinet that look to be made by a very skilled glass blower, they are very fine and thin, and probably as old as the building. The carving on the master bed is incredibly fine and intricate, such as shame such craftsmanship is left to quietly decay after being a part of so much history. Imagine the stories these walls and furnishings could tell. Thank you for showing this to us, stay safe out there, and keep on having fun.🖤🇨🇦
Hey Tamarra, This house just told me stories of their former owners... All the artwork and craftsmanship was just stunning. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed this episode!
Love this mansion, especially that huge masterpiece of a bed in your introduction. The headboard carefully crafted for a Royal. I have never seen a canopy bed so spectacularly designed. This bed was a special order, and they had the money to do it. They loved their home, furnishings and were quite proud of their family name. 23:33 I believe this design is called a Sleigh Bed. Soooooooo much beauty left behind and naturally decaying. Surprisingly haunting, after 40 years of abandonment, the furnishings all look strong and sturdy, just needs a little cleaning. Definitely a Time Capsule.💕💕
The reason I wanted to go to this place was because of this bed... Such a masterpiece! Yes multiple people told me that the bed was called a sleigh bed. Just amazing to know all this diferent thing :) Thanks Elizabeth X lesley
These gorgeous rugs, beautiful pieces of furniture, the china, frames, mirrors, the books, art, history, gorgeous doors, ironwork, the chapels, windows, stairs, woodwork, stone, the gardens, the homes. . . I hate to see it rot. Thank you for showing the beauty in all of these places, maybe someone else will appreciate it and save some before another day goes by!
Love love watching all the antique furniture, in Europe the bathrooms used to be very large which is a good thing. but now I dont know..thank you guys....protect yourself from this outbreak..♥️
That front room use to be called a 'Parlor' or 'sitting room' used to receive guests. Back in the day if a boy and girl were to meet, that is where they would spend time.
That was a fantastic old home with a lot left behind. Under the bed was a chamber pot and the curved bed you liked is called a sleigh bed because it was shaped like the old horse drawn sleigh's. Stay safe and have fun boys.
Hey Marybeth, The chamber pots always take me back to former times. If I find one of those in an abandoned building I know this place is ancient. THank you for watching! x
I love, that despite the house being in disrepair or vandals strewing items about, you are both very respectful in what and how you touch items. You remember that people lived there, loved there, and created memories. Bravo to you both and thank-you 😊
Beautiful furniture and home. Yes in America that furniture would be worth a small fortune. Loved that Master bedroom bed wow... Thank you for taking the time to show us all the history.
I have become addicted to your videos. I most appreciate that you respect these homes, I am as excited as you are as you go from room to room. I also collect vintage and love to see your finds. I am sad that no one can rescue all the furniture or books.
Hi both it’s Ann,what an amazing beautiful home in it’s day .i under stand now you said if you put the furniture outside,it wouldn’t be taken ,an they would be fined .You learn something new each day ,in England ,it would cost a lot if you were to buy them ,thank you Lesley for that .i love all the kitchen things ,coffee grinder ,meat grinder ,the iron must be really heavy ,can’t imagine using it .Love some of the fireplaces an doorways beds .thank you for taking us around with you my favourite explorers much love Ann uk xxx
Bros of decay I take my hat off to you guys 🎩 I stumbled on ur RUclips channel maybe few months ago now and I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE seeing all these abandoned houses I too loved it since I was a child I am fascinated with the stories behind these once upon a time occupied house’s they are ordinary people just like u and me i’m move me to tears 😭 I can’t explain the feeling i get I feel so many different emotions when I’m watching ur channel theres an overwhelming sense of sadness I can’t put into words especially when I’m hearing some of the sad stories attached to these abandoned houses and when I see all there precious belongings just left there it’s so precious!! I see priceless photos , clothes , property , furniture, and the dinner table where they once sat together one day they just up and left leaving all there things behind ... cups , plates all these things left in the exact same spot not touched or moved 🤭 it’s eerie like a ghost town everything is still there after so many years its frozen in time it’s like going back into a time capsule u can’t help but imagine how it would have been like when they all lived there together 😭 I can imagine hearing them hearing the laughter , all the family occasions , all the activities the gatherings it truly makes me appreciate life all the more because life is like a puff of smoke 💨it’s like a vapour here today gone tomorrow u realise when u see this how the years go by so fast everything is already in the process of decay! house’s are like people they have a body (outer shell) and the inner is like the soul of a person who once lived but then dies , once that soul dies it vacates the body just like these houses there’s nothing but emptiness left behind leaving us to wonder about there live stories, truly people make the house a home!! I’m sad there all gone it gives us all a glimpse into our own future makes you want to be more appreciative! truly life is a gift 🎁 from God! I will love to give donations from time to time because it’s well worth what you guys are doing .I see your love and passion ur appreciation for these abandoned house’s is evident. God bless you u guys stay safe with love Victoria🥰♥️
Hi Lesley & Jordy, another great adventure & wow 14 beds! Such lovely rooms & great to see them all! Lots of beautiful carved furniture, & nice pictures & dressers, plus chandeliers! Yes, I love the French double doors, so many antiques too! I am actually going backwards in your video`s...I started in 2021 & watch for new ones every Saturday in 2022, but then go backwards to see many more! Your video`s are the Best & you as a sweet caring person is so great to listen too! Jordy you are doing a great job & a sturdy hand not to shake while holding the camera-video! Stay safe & take care love you both from Illinois USA
@@BrosOfDecay hello, great video! I like to look so don't mind the length:) The wood darkens with age, but also the stain or varnish that was used was the style then, this also darkens. Stay safe and thank you!!
I can't believe those antiques aren't worth anything over there! That just blows my mind. I would GLADLY have that furniture in my home and be proud of it!!
I know I would too. I am sure you could take them who is really going to fine someone for visiting a abandoned empty house with old furniture where this owner is not going to make it to good use! a waste for sure!
@@ArianaBerkeley oh I definitely would take the furniture if I knew where the place was but I'm in the USA so theres no chance of that happening. I don't look at it is as stealing, I mean "*technically*" it is but I wouldn't be stealing it to make a profit. I would gladly clean it up and display it in my house for myself and others to enjoy. Leaving this furniture and other antiques behind should be a crime. Let someone who appreciates it enjoy it and be able to keep passing it down so hopefully it could be around for another hundred years or so.
That's a lie! In Portugal we value a lot the antiques, actually it's quite expensive and hard to find... What probably happened was that they lost everything and they had to leave in a rush.... Actually in Portugal there are quite a lot of farm houses and really big houses abandoned due to the fact that in 25th of April 1974 there was a revolution and there was a period where everything was nationalized, which means that wealthy people needed to "share" everything with their workers... What happened next was total mayhem, the owners most of the times had to leave before getting beaten or worst, so they left in a hurry leaving everything that they owned behind.... Not saying that this was that case but before judging the people we should know the history behind of it all.... Just saying!
LOL I started watching abandoned places videos a year and a half ago. I have been addicted ever since!!! I am positive the first video I watched was one of yours! I enjoy collaborations. When you explore with other people who have channels. Outside Europe also. Don’t get me wrong... Europe has been fascinating!!! Portugal and Belgium!!!!! Wauw!!!!!! I am amazed!!! You Brothers are invaluable ❤️ Thank You So Much!! I am going to do my best to save some money and send it for your travels. The very Best of Health and Happiness to you both🦋
Hey guys I love your videos, I'm kinda new too your channel. This one was my favorite because showed us a lot more content and no it wasn't too long. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU BROS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG the intricately handcarved headboard, handturned posts on that 4-poster canopy bed in the master BR is unbelievable!! Finest quality craftsmanship!! IMO, the handcrafted wooden decor is worth more than the entire home!! FABULOUS PORTUGAL EXPLORE 😍👌❣️
You’re absolutely the greatest! Thank You so much! Love what you do. I can’t see anything from these except for you. To quote a fav. Pastor of mine, “May God richly bless you, my beloved.”
I love your voice and your amazing accent as I stroll through all your outstanding videos. Keep up the good explores, my bros. Best regards from a most ardent fan from Canada.
Wow that was one huge house/mansion, Thank you for explaining the European laws in regards to the properties and contents, Answered my questions. So very very sad all that beautiful Genuine Antique furniture will just rot. Thank you guys. Be safe hugs from Australia xx
A sad neglected mansion that could be preserved and restored to it's former glory. I guess the last descendents weren't as lucky or rich as the first generation. An Amazing grand house full of faded memories and dust. Great explore. Thank you for exploring these historic old homes left behind.
Hey Susan, Some people also told me that it was a pasta maker. Now I am not 100% sure who is right haha. Do you have more insight on this? Kind regards Lesley x
@@BrosOfDecay It could be used for both after watching your video I called Grandma lol she said there was one made that was used for grinding coffee beans and pasta and meat it was all in one so really it depends on what one they got. So yes I also learned something. there were gadgets that would switch it to what you needed it for. And since people always drank Coffee that was all Grandma used her's for.
@@BrosOfDecay Was my pleasure my family is history people everything growing up was learning about history. It is nice to see the old things in your videos :) xoxoxo Susan
Thank you for your great appreciation of these fabulous places that have fallen to neglect and decay. It breaks my heart to see so many pieces just sitting and falling apart. Just a note here; you mention quite often about the chandeliers but the one light hanging from a ceiling is not a chandelier, it is simply a hanging light. Chandeliers have more than one arm with lights, many have crystals and other ornamentation added, as well. I have become someone addicted to your videos. So much history with these fabulous homes and furnishings. So sad that no one came in to save them from the state they have fallen to. Thank you for all the time you have devoted to filming these videos. The longer, the better!
I think this was one of my absolute favorites. The homes infrastructure, furnishings and pictures were amazing, the coat of arms speaks to me from history and the grounds and garden were spectacular - I can envision it beautiful and bustling with 19th century subjects. Stunning.
This is the most amazing place and of course you showcased it beautifully. Would love to have seen it in its earlier years. Another great explore. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful home, the female of the house really knew how to decorate the different bedrooms with matching curtains etc. I loved all of the old and antique furniture it had character, nowadays furniture isn't made as good or as ornate. Thank you both for a lovely tour of this amazing location. xx ❤
Hi Maureno and Remon, Yes, indeed, I fully agree to you, a banger, exactly like also your amazing video I was watching in the late afternoon. - Take care and stay safe. Kindest regards.
I especially love your videos and the longer the better! I prefer to watch at night before I go to sleep. Leslie's voice is so soothing!! You brothers are adorable 💕 and I really appreciate the videos and adventures
Absolutely beautiful love the old furniture so sad that they had to leave their home Thank you for sharing this beautiful amazing house and all the beautiful memories great video
😳🤯 What in the world is a place like this abandoned with 200 year old antiques left behind and not in a museum?. So sad and distressing. The land owner should preserve such beauty. They don't make furniture like that anymore. I'm pulling my hair in stress watching this video because it's all rotting away. 😩 Thank you for a great video.
a way u send air kiss to end every video and u always present the old stuff in video with respectful manner that makes me nail to your channel and always support every video u make
It’s amazing that the house is in such good condition for being abandoned for 40 years. The furniture was magnificent. A feature I really liked was the double doors. So elegant. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
NEVER too long Bros! l always feel as if l get transported away in time and enter another reality....Thank you both so much for all your efforts. BTW - the "shields" are more than likely this noble family's "Coat of Arms" and the long lounge type chair is a Chaise Lounge where ladies would recline if a bit unwell or wanted to take a load off so to speak :) God bless you both and stay safe 💙🐨Sydney Australia.
Hey Deborah, First thank you for being such a long supporter of the channel! and I must say this place surprised me immensely. I loved the double doors as well!
Absolutely stunning, what a house! I could not imagine all the people that lived there with only 2 bathrooms. Talk about wait time 🙄. But extremely beautiful find. Great job guys, thank you.
Really interesting. I really loved those fabulous beds, absolutely gorgeous! A shame they are left to decay. Your videos are never too long, I like the longer ones (1 hr +) where you get to see more details. Thanks guys!
Hi guys, the shield on the wall is called a coat of arms. It is so interesting to follow you around on these trips and have a chance to see all these abandoned homes and buildings. It's like having my own narrated tour. Thank you.
Hi Lesly! just watched the video now and i can say that its one of the most amazing videos you made! i love your story while filming, giving us the imagination of how those people lives back on the days.. anyways thank you for touring us and God bless you BROs OF DECAY!
No surprise one more amazing video from you guys. Thank you so much for a wonderful job. It was very enjoyable to watch. Beautiful place. On to the next video.
Hi Lesley & Johnny you called him Jody at the beginning of the video it's great to see you guys this place should be a historic building & shouldn't be left to Rot it saddens me, it's disgusting how other people have thrown there paperwork all over the floor & have damaged a chair & 2 seater that's an antique it angers me that some people have no respect for an historic home, I watch your videos Lesley cos you always respect every abandoned home or building thanks for that please be careful incase there are any unsafe floors etc in the home, I hope the Portuguese will see this as a historical building & restore it to it's former beautiful home I'm just asking are there any living relatives whox could turn this home into a museum? I'm glad you didn't break that bottle lol bless you, it's sad that antiques are just left to Rot 😢, I'm from the UK Lesley we respect antiques here I have my pledge furniture Polish & duster at the ready to tackle that dust on the table lol I'd wear gloves cos polish always makes my hands feel odd I will find out what year the sewing machine was made & let you know I'd say 1800's by the look of it an antique definitely I think that machine is a meat grinder I don't know for definite it looks like one you made me laugh when you said did they shower outside lol yeah you found a shower upstairs in the bathroom I think it would be 2 cold to shower outside & the neighbours would see you so definitely not lol I like your detailed videos guys it's interesting seeing how this royal family lived thanks guys.
Just discovered your channel, I love it. Thank you for sharing these wonderful, abandoned, and historically magical castles and mansions. Keep up the great work. Your voice adds the perfect touch. Stay safe and God bless!
Hi guys!! Love this video, one of your best ever! You show details, ornaments, dates, paperwork, everything, plus it is a large video in a beautiful house. You put everything inside of it. Congrats Bros!!!
😮 Wow that headboard in the Master bedroom was outstanding! You probably know this, but furniture way back was stuffed with horsehair and cotton. Great job on the video guys!
Hay again bro's hope all is well, another great episode I had to go back and watch laying down with my headphones on an fell asleep listening. Ya'll are the greatest an most respectful young men an that makes your channel stand out among everyone else's. God bless an take care from Florida U.S.A
@@BrosOfDecay Here in Portugal that furniture would cost a fortune, too! It's simply amazing! Those flowers are a wedding flower bouquet, traditional of the North of Portugal
@@snickers2877 - I disagree with your assessment that Americans prefer something else. - The problem is the housing builders. Most have small bedrooms with barely any space to put a bed. Their emphasis is in the kitchen, the bathroom and family rooms.
Amazingvideo! They keep getting better and better every time. Love to watch you guys, love the accent (i'm dutch) love the background stories you always seem to find. Keep it up! Lots of love from Holland xx
When you were looking at the "stuffing" in the chair, I don't think it was straw, but horsehair. Back in the day, that's what they used, hair from a horse's tail. Beautiful antiques in the home! Now a days, young people here in the USA, don't like them much. I personally, love them, but I'm not young! LOL!
I would love to own these antiques. I've always said I was born in the wrong era. I love the Victorian era.
My mom told me once about their parlor that no one was allowed to go in unless they had company. Then it was usually only adults. When she got older and was given the privilege to go in she got to sit on the sofa. It was pretty but horsehair. She said very prickly and itchy and was pleased when she was dismissed from the gathering 😏.
Hey Mary many people pointed this out to me. Is it very common that there is horse hair in these matreses? Kind regards, Lesley
Yes, Lesley, very common for them to be stuffed with horse hair. (from the tail of the horse)
thanks for telling me the stuffing of the chair is horsehairs. It blows my mind! I am an Asian. By and by, I look familiar with western countries!

I just adored the double doors and I see many people on the channel as well :) Thank you Sahia!
That must have been a beautiful home at one time. Really enjoyed seeing all the hand carved furniture.
Love your respect of the properties and the people that may have lived there. Thank you.

These bathrooms where incredible small for the size of the mansion :O It choked me! Thank you for watching Catalina X Lesley
In some older houses here in the US you’ll see huge bathrooms that are converted bedrooms or possibly a back porch area was closed in.
Yes, bedrooms and dinning rooms used to be larger, but kitchens and bathrooms smaller. - Nowadays, the emphasis is on big kitchens and "family" rooms.

Do you think that they got darker with age or is it just some sort of coating? Kind regards, Lesley
@@BrosOfDecay hello, great video! I like to look so don't mind the length:) The wood darkens with age, but also the stain or varnish that was used was the style then, this also darkens. Stay safe and thank you!!
I can't believe those antiques aren't worth anything over there! That just blows my mind. I would GLADLY have that furniture in my home and be proud of it!!
Don't listen to him, he's got no clue :D
I know I would too. I am sure you could take them who is really going to fine someone for visiting a abandoned empty house with old furniture where this owner is not going to make it to good use! a waste for sure!
@@ArianaBerkeley oh I definitely would take the furniture if I knew where the place was but I'm in the USA so theres no chance of that happening. I don't look at it is as stealing, I mean "*technically*" it is but I wouldn't be stealing it to make a profit. I would gladly clean it up and display it in my house for myself and others to enjoy. Leaving this furniture and other antiques behind should be a crime. Let someone who appreciates it enjoy it and be able to keep passing it down so hopefully it could be around for another hundred years or so.
That's a lie! In Portugal we value a lot the antiques, actually it's quite expensive and hard to find... What probably happened was that they lost everything and they had to leave in a rush.... Actually in Portugal there are quite a lot of farm houses and really big houses abandoned due to the fact that in 25th of April 1974 there was a revolution and there was a period where everything was nationalized, which means that wealthy people needed to "share" everything with their workers... What happened next was total mayhem, the owners most of the times had to leave before getting beaten or worst, so they left in a hurry leaving everything that they owned behind....
Not saying that this was that case but before judging the people we should know the history behind of it all.... Just saying!
Amazing furniture!! Thank you from Alaska. Your videos are the best!!!!
My pleasure Robin ☺️
Some other videos put out by different Channels are annoying to listen to. I have to mute the sound. Your commentaries are pleasant. 💯▶️💟
Lovely to hear, I am still learning a lot 😁
LOL I started watching abandoned places videos a year and a half ago. I have been addicted ever since!!! I am positive the first video I watched was one of yours! I enjoy collaborations. When you explore with other people who have channels. Outside Europe also. Don’t get me wrong... Europe has been fascinating!!! Portugal and Belgium!!!!! Wauw!!!!!! I am amazed!!! You Brothers are invaluable ❤️ Thank You So Much!! I am going to do my best to save some money and send it for your travels. The very Best of Health and Happiness to you both🦋
Thank you Robin that is a wonderful comment 😍😍
A friend is looking for that very Pfaff 31 treadle sewing machine! Very rare in America! So excited to see that machine!!!
Thank you so very much for showing us this lovely old home! You both do an amazing job! Bless you!
Thank you so much!
Fab place, fabulous bed- I’d love that. Also that fridge. Your camera work is so good as it doesn’t make me dizzy at all. Great explore 🌹
Hey guys I love your videos, I'm kinda new too your channel. This one was my favorite because showed us a lot more content and no it wasn't too long. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU BROS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG the intricately handcarved headboard, handturned posts on that 4-poster canopy bed in the master BR is unbelievable!! Finest quality craftsmanship!! IMO, the handcrafted wooden decor is worth more than the entire home!! FABULOUS PORTUGAL EXPLORE 😍👌❣️
I am surprised and glad that the house has not been stripped bare!! Such stories they could tell!! Thank you
You’re absolutely the greatest! Thank You so much! Love what you do. I can’t see anything from these except for you. To quote a fav. Pastor of mine, “May God richly bless you, my beloved.”
Hi Lesley an Georgie it’s beautiful amazing,I love the chairs an beds .so sad they stand empty,to decay ,thank you for sharing take care ,Ann uk
I love your voice and your amazing accent as I stroll through all your outstanding videos. Keep up the good explores, my bros. Best regards from a most ardent fan from Canada.
Hey Linda lots of people comment on my accent to me it sounds no different than other english speakers haha Thank you for watching!
@@BrosOfDecay - Are you English? I thought you were Hispanic trying to speak English. From where in England?
Wow that was one huge house/mansion, Thank you for explaining the European laws in regards to the properties and contents, Answered my questions. So very very sad all that beautiful Genuine Antique furniture will just rot. Thank you guys. Be safe hugs from Australia xx
Fantastic bedroom furniture!!! Thank you Leslie Jordy!!!!!
A sad neglected mansion that could be preserved and restored to it's former glory. I guess the last descendents weren't as lucky or rich as the first generation. An Amazing grand house full of faded memories and dust. Great explore. Thank you for exploring these historic old homes left behind.
Hey Janet, It is always sad to see and experience buildings that are neglected and left behind :( Hope you enjoyed this episode x Lesley
12:12 Lesley it is an old coffee grinder from the 1920s or '30s that one I do know my grandma had one at the lake the exact one.
Hey Susan, Some people also told me that it was a pasta maker. Now I am not 100% sure who is right haha. Do you have more insight on this? Kind regards Lesley x
@@BrosOfDecay It could be used for both after watching your video I called Grandma lol she said there was one made that was used for grinding coffee beans and pasta and meat it was all in one so really it depends on what one they got. So yes I also learned something. there were gadgets that would switch it to what you needed it for. And since people always drank Coffee that was all Grandma used her's for.
That is really useful but not anymore in these days haha Thanks Susan for taking the effort :) Kisses Lesley
@@BrosOfDecay Was my pleasure my family is history people everything growing up was learning about history. It is nice to see the old things in your videos :) xoxoxo Susan
Was it a Melita coffee grinder?💫
I appreciate you finding the history of the place, as much as you can. The story behind the family.
Thank you for your great appreciation of these fabulous places that have fallen to neglect and decay. It breaks my heart to see so many pieces just sitting and falling apart. Just a note here; you mention quite often about the chandeliers but the one light hanging from a ceiling is not a chandelier, it is simply a hanging light. Chandeliers have more than one arm with lights, many have crystals and other ornamentation added, as well. I have become someone addicted to your videos. So much history with these fabulous homes and furnishings. So sad that no one came in to save them from the state they have fallen to. Thank you for all the time you have devoted to filming these videos. The longer, the better!
I think this was one of my absolute favorites. The homes infrastructure, furnishings and pictures were amazing, the coat of arms speaks to me from history and the grounds and garden were spectacular - I can envision it beautiful and bustling with 19th century subjects. Stunning.
Awesome video guys! Thanks for sharing these places.
the outside and the architectures of the house and grounds are my favorites to see
This is the most amazing place and of course you showcased it beautifully. Would love to have seen it in its earlier years. Another great explore. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
It definetly was a very wonderfull place Yvonne ☺️❤️
Thank you for filming this place. The furniture is stunningly beautiful. Looks like a large family lived here. Stay safe guys.
I love the windows on each side of the front door
Such a beautiful home, the female of the house really knew how to decorate the different bedrooms with matching curtains etc. I loved all of the old and antique furniture it had character, nowadays furniture isn't made as good or as ornate. Thank you both for a lovely tour of this amazing location. xx ❤
Banger!!!! 🔥
Hi Maureno and Remon, Yes, indeed, I fully agree to you, a banger, exactly like also your amazing video I was watching in the
late afternoon. - Take care and stay safe. Kindest regards.
What does banger mean?
EXPLOMO & BROS. OF DECAY ROCK!!! MY TWO FAVORITES! All you sweet guys be careful out there! Please stay safe! 🤩🤩
First!!!
Thank you Lisa X
I especially love your videos and the longer the better! I prefer to watch at night before I go to sleep. Leslie's voice is so soothing!! You brothers are adorable 💕 and I really appreciate the videos and adventures
Absolutely beautiful love the old furniture so sad that they had to leave their home Thank you for sharing this beautiful amazing house and all the beautiful memories great video
😳🤯 What in the world is a place like this abandoned with 200 year old antiques left behind and not in a museum?. So sad and distressing. The land owner should preserve such beauty. They don't make furniture like that anymore. I'm pulling my hair in stress watching this video because it's all rotting away. 😩
Thank you for a great video.
It's good to have a long video that shows the entire place.
a way u send air kiss to end every video and u always present the old stuff in video with respectful manner that makes me nail to your channel and always support every video u make
The stairs are absolutely gorgeous!
It’s amazing that the house is in such good condition for being abandoned for 40 years. The furniture was magnificent. A feature I really liked was the double doors. So elegant.
Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
NEVER too long Bros! l always feel as if l get transported away in time and enter another reality....Thank you both so much for all your efforts.
BTW - the "shields" are more than likely this noble family's "Coat of Arms" and the long lounge type chair is a Chaise Lounge where ladies would recline if a bit unwell or wanted to take a load off so to speak :) God bless you both and stay safe 💙🐨Sydney Australia.
Hey Deborah, First thank you for being such a long supporter of the channel! and I must say this place surprised me immensely. I loved the double doors as well!
Really looks like this place can be saved it still has a lot of charm
That bed!!!! Oh my goodness ♡♡
Wow!! That bed is incredible and so is this place 😍 Thank you for another wonderful video!!
Absolutely stunning, what a house! I could not imagine all the people that lived there with only 2 bathrooms. Talk about wait time 🙄. But extremely beautiful find. Great job guys, thank you.
Amazing house!! i love all the antiques, bottles and chairs.I love painting old funiture and refurbating the old to look new.
Really interesting. I really loved those fabulous beds, absolutely gorgeous! A shame they are left to decay. Your videos are never too long, I like the longer ones (1 hr +) where you get to see more details. Thanks guys!
The furniture is stunning!!! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure Cheryl x Lesley
Amazing place and such incredible furniture left behind. Lots of vintage things to see. Thank you for the video.
i saw this house in other media, but under your description, the stuff there looks refreshed! good job!
Thank you so much guys for this beautiful video I so appreciate it so much ‼️💯⭐️ I can’t thank you enough ❤️🙏🏽🫶🏼
Superb! Loved all the beautiful beds. Don't think I've seen such a variety before. Thank you for a lovely episode.
Whenever I watch exploration vids as good as this I feel like exploring too..even my family farmhouse will do
Amazing furniture. Keep up the good work. Thank you 💜
Our pleasure!
Lesley i love the bed in the master bedroom too. Thank you and Jordy for the journey. Made my day.
Fantastic !! Thanks for taking the TIME to Film it! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi guys, the shield on the wall is called a coat of arms. It is so interesting to follow you around on these trips and have a chance to see all these abandoned homes and buildings. It's like having my own narrated tour. Thank you.
Hi Lesly! just watched the video now and i can say that its one of the most amazing videos you made! i love your story while filming, giving us the imagination of how those people lives back on the days.. anyways thank you for touring us and God bless you BROs OF DECAY!
That place is just amazing!!
Thank you Melinda!
Wish I could see this in person. I would clean and decorate that room with the furniture from the other rooms. So stunning! Stay safe brothers.
No surprise one more amazing video from you guys. Thank you so much for a wonderful job. It was very enjoyable to watch. Beautiful place. On to the next video.
you are such a great narrator with respect for history
This was a beautiful big place! I'm surprised there wasn't a piano. Awesome video as always. 😘🤗👍
Hi Lesley & Johnny you called him Jody at the beginning of the video it's great to see you guys this place should be a historic building & shouldn't be left to Rot it saddens me, it's disgusting how other people have thrown there paperwork all over the floor & have damaged a chair & 2 seater that's an antique it angers me that some people have no respect for an historic home, I watch your videos Lesley cos you always respect every abandoned home or building thanks for that please be careful incase there are any unsafe floors etc in the home, I hope the Portuguese will see this as a historical building & restore it to it's former beautiful home I'm just asking are there any living relatives whox could turn this home into a museum? I'm glad you didn't break that bottle lol bless you, it's sad that antiques are just left to Rot 😢, I'm from the UK Lesley we respect antiques here I have my pledge furniture Polish & duster at the ready to tackle that dust on the table lol I'd wear gloves cos polish always makes my hands feel odd I will find out what year the sewing machine was made & let you know I'd say 1800's by the look of it an antique definitely I think that machine is a meat grinder I don't know for definite it looks like one you made me laugh when you said did they shower outside lol yeah you found a shower upstairs in the bathroom I think it would be 2 cold to shower outside & the neighbours would see you so definitely not lol I like your detailed videos guys it's interesting seeing how this royal family lived thanks guys.
Thank You we love your programe! From South Africa
Just discovered your channel, I love it. Thank you for sharing these wonderful, abandoned, and historically magical castles and mansions. Keep up the great work. Your voice adds the perfect touch. Stay safe and God bless!
Fantastic video. Awesome furniture, beds, fireplace etc. Not to long though. Thanks guys. Loved it.
Lovely to hear that you enjoyed the lenght of video. Thank you for watching!
Hi guys!! Love this video, one of your best ever! You show details, ornaments, dates, paperwork, everything, plus it is a large video in a beautiful house. You put everything inside of it. Congrats Bros!!!
Hey Sylvia that is amazing to hear :) We did our very best on this one! Kind regards, Lesley x
I just love the way how you are kind towards the video and your voice makes your video more beautiful 👌 ❤️
I love this video. The house is big. All of the furniture is antique. Shame this place was not kept up. Be careful. You guys have a great evening.
Hey Patricia thank you for the great comment, we adored this place immensely. Thank you for watching!
😮 Wow that headboard in the Master bedroom was outstanding! You probably know this, but furniture way back was stuffed with horsehair and cotton.
Great job on the video guys!
I often wonder if the descendants of the owners of the properties ever see your videos and what they think. Amazing video thank you. 🌻
You have both picked a lovely place to explore, I can almost 'see" the people living there, thank you
Hay again bro's hope all is well, another great episode I had to go back and watch laying down with my headphones on an fell asleep listening. Ya'll are the greatest an most respectful young men an that makes your channel stand out among everyone else's. God bless an take care from Florida U.S.A
Such neet antiques in this house. You are right; they would be a fortune in America.
Donna, I was thinking the same thing. People would pay thousands of dollars to own such beautiful antiques!
I am curious I would want somebody to taxate all these pieces and make a grand total. I think it would be in the 6 figures. Thanks for watching Donna!
@@BrosOfDecay Here in Portugal that furniture would cost a fortune, too! It's simply amazing! Those flowers are a wedding flower bouquet, traditional of the North of Portugal
@@snickers2877 - I disagree with your assessment that Americans prefer something else. - The problem is the housing builders. Most have small bedrooms with barely any space to put a bed. Their emphasis is in the kitchen, the bathroom and family rooms.
Amazingvideo! They keep getting better and better every time. Love to watch you guys, love the accent (i'm dutch) love the background stories you always seem to find. Keep it up! Lots of love from Holland xx
That was fun. Love Handles music. Take as much time to show us everything. Thank you
