It is more than obvious that he has more respect for this place than the owners and the police don't care because the owners don't care. The police has more important things to do than arrest someone showing respect to a old house that has been abandoned by the owners. IMO, it is ridiculous to be upset about him inside this place more than seeing that this place is wasting away and the owners don't care.
Just go to your local property deeds and or property foreclosures they can tell you who put the first board up give you the history of who when why to abandonment..
I have seen this place on another one of these videos and expressed the exact same sentiments. Cathy at the Grange languishing over Heithcliff in Wuthering Heights or the Bennet girls dancing at a ball at Netherfield Park ball in Pride and Prejudice.
I know what you mean. I was waiting anxiously for him to read the first page of that big book he brought out and tell us when it was published who it was published by and what the book was about but nothing It was just a great big heavy buck. If you're going to do a tour do it right.
The sitting area in the foyer wasn't just there to fill up space. It had an important purpose. People would come to talk to the master of the house about something, but not to visit. A quick conversation could be had in this area and then the visitor was out the door. It was a place to conduct quick business, not entertain company
I must admit I was rolling my eyes a bit listening to him try to describe what things were. Oh well, maybe next time no commentary just visual ha ha! In the end it's nice to see the place.
@@smurphy8582 you're so right! the guy has no idea from the house. it was a huge family house i guess, where the whole family was working - including the unmarried elder sisters or staff on that singer maschines... far way from a castle, this i would guess was a whelty business man which a big family
Also a large foyer was important for a young gentleman to wait for the young daughter of the manor to be inspected, and then sent off with her for their evening courtship!
Things that belong to a living person just turned back into an object after the person dies cause they are no longer loved. When the living leave a house the life of the house is just as dead and all it's contents. How often we have hear people say how much they love their homes. It's as if human life gives life to object thru the persons love and energy. Maybe that is why some places have a terrible feeling because the person that owned it was a terrible person. Houses where a murder took place are sometimes uninhabitable. I'm not saying because it's haunted but because of horrible human activity as saturated the house.
I like that they tried to be respectful - refolding the linen he shows, closing the cabinets back, gently replacing the china & other antiques he picks up - very refreshing & commendable.
@@backintimealwyn5736 lol it's literally abandoned, and also they probably payed to get in there, they would've been arrested after when they were "trespassing" but they werent right? Exactly.
I’m an avid collector of all things old. My favorite time period is the 1800’s. Especially the Victorian era. I would buy this house no questions asked in a HEART beat. So beautiful. I just hope people realize how AMAZING this house truly is. The stuff in there is like museum quality and worth a fortune...I hope and pray no one breaks in and vandalizes the mansion...they need to find this house a new owner. Someone who will appreciate it for all its worth! Love it so much. So amazing.
Maybe it was a convent/orphanage. The beds look like 1800s Eastlake. The pots are worth alot of money. Looks like it hasn't been lived in since the 1950s or before. There was a rose in a vase in the one bedroom, which means maybe someone was squatting there..living there. No dust on the one baby grand piano...odd.
@@EagleArrow No, convents and orphanages have bedrooms that are sparse and simple, with an impoverished lifestyle. I visited a convent once in Oregon in the U.S.A.; although the parlor for receiving guests was lovely, and the building had beautiful architecture and stained glass windows, the bedrooms on the second floor were tiny and simple; nuns' quarters are called "cells" because of their similarity to jail cells. Some of the nuns are highly educated in classical languages, literature, history, and the fine arts, so the convents have well-stocked libraries; nevertheless, the individual bedrooms are purposely simple to force the nuns to be self-effacing and extremely humble; it's a brainwashing technique; I knew a college girl in Portland, Oregon, who went to some kind of short-term Catholic program where they forced her to beg door-to-door for money to buy food and other basic necessities while she was at their program as a way of humiliating her even though she was not poor and had a home and a car and financially stable relatives in Oregon in the U.S.A.; she said that it was to teach her to be humble; this was a very sweet, well-behaved, church-going Catholic girl, who was not a criminal or addict or slut or snob, yet they still were trying to humiliate her for no reason.
@@EagleArrow yes maybe someone does I mean who would place and use a fridge in a 1800s castle it's really unusual and the yellow sofa near the first piano also seems to be clean. And the bed with the orange blanket seems to be different from all of the other beds.
10:19 thank you so much for keeping the location a secret. I’d hate for this place to be ransacked and vandalized. Really sir, such nice respect for such a historical place, I really appreciate 👍 !!!
This place was clearly open for public viewing at one time shortly before it was closed up. So much of it, you can tell is laid out for display. The flowers in vases, the books on night stands, the chapel, even the girls room in the tower was set up for optimum visual appeal. You can tell the rooms that were excluded. They are more haphazard and lived in. When it was last used they probably didn't realize it was the last time even. Sad that it's left to fall into ruin. It is absolutely beautiful. They had so many rooms because when people like that entertained they commonly put their visitors up for several days, even weeks.
That’s a very nice dream. I would love to do the same! 😍 But in reality, fixing that place up would coast millions of dollars. 😪 Even if you were handy enough to do a lot of the work yourself, the materials would coast a fortune. I would LOVE to see this place restored though!!! 🥰🥰 Surly there are people spending millions of dollars on lavish vacations, cars, clothes, and other things they don’t need or even enjoy that can donate some of their funds to the resturation of this beautiful house! 💖🏰💖
I'm sure that many homeless people and fugitives and travelers take turns squatting in many empty castles in France because there are tens of thousands of empty castles for sale in France. As soon as I get rich from my career, I am going to start buying castles as a collection.
In the bedroom with the crib was the baby's room the other bed was called the day bed for the nanny. The first floor sitting room was called a parlor there is usually 2 one for the men to sit and smoke the other for the women , top floor was always for the servants to sleep, im an architect if you was wondering
Shawn, do you ever come to the US? I have five acres in Virginia and want to build a Victorian farm house. It has an old house on it, I am making it livable so I can stay there until my new house is built.
Paul Humphries yes and no. Think about the peasants working on their domain, the huge taxes they had to pay, the hige amount of physical work they had to do and the poverty they lived in. No schools, no hospitals. Why do you think they started uprisings and revolutions?
iseeyou I know, I’m not saying that they built chapels because they had a lot of sins, it would be a simplistic explanation. I’m only saying that, even if it sounded funny when the guy said it, there is at least some truth to it...
The pianos alone are worth several thousands... crazy all that was left behind. Really wish we could find out more about the people who built the castle originally, as well as the people who lived there. Great video, thank you ♥️
Yes, me too. I always wonder "why" are these mansions abandoned and "where" did everyone go? Why was everything left behind? With all those rooms surely it must have been a large family. There certainly was enough room for the extended family too.
This house is amazing. The man seems sweet but I would love to see the same house tour with historians/experts who actually knew about the history of the home and the architectural details.
100% agree, or if a historian tagged along to actually talk about the items and places. Nice guys, but they don't seem knowledgeable enough which is a shame.
I was thinking the same thing because servants did not sleep in attics. And they had that many bedrooms because they had a lot of children and a lot of servants. Obviously not in the same sleeping quarters. If they're going to upload videos like this they need to do some research first.
@@hollypea6759 Servants did sleep in the attics - certainly in the stately homes of the UK, have witnessed many servant quarters in UK tours of such houses.
WE NEED to start a petition to have this glorious home and historical site of grandeur preserved and protected. Someone should go in an accurately restore everything and then even put it into business as a bed and breakfast. My heart breaks thinking this place may one day not exist.
They were older, they probably got sick and passed away or hospitalized. Whichever was the last one to pass may have been put in a home for the elderly (I don't know if they do that in Europe) so they weren't living alone. Maybe they had to file bankruptcy and were forced to move and they only took what they brought, leaving all of the original stuff there. 🤔
@@playbrrr475 well it definitely depends on the state of the house but also whether a family member somewhere owns it or the bank owns it or what. If the bank, they may resell if it is livable. But some houses that are paid off simply get forgotten about. No one wants to deal with them or spend the money it takes to either fix or demolish.
I am from the USA and all those antiques just amaze me. It breaks my heart to see all those beautiful pieces just rotting. I myself collect antiques and I would love to go there and purchase some. Love your videos!
selling all those 20th century reproductions would be more a pain than . gold mine... nothing is original, so it has no real value, (perhaps except the piano...)
@@milels6917 If you know your thing, you don't need to be looking for stamps under the upstholery and frames to know they're all 20th century reproductions, and while the fireplaces look nice enough, they're not original, but mid-late 19th century inspired after 18th models, still valuable but nothing out of extraordinary. still my comment was in general, regarding ot the mobile furniture.
@@psychoXdown on the fact that I live in a house like that where my family has lived for hundreds of years and I know exactly for what each room and each item in the house was used for and what were the traditions of decorating the houses at those times and the styles of furniture or wallpaper. There was a huge painting , probably of a famous artist and of course if the members of the family didn´t take it out of the frame themselves then there was someone who stole it :)
@@forjustice7209 Perfectly right. It should be obvious to anyone that a painting is missing from that frame and that also why the wallpaper in that area has a different shade. But it is strange how many new and very cheap things can be seen all over the place. Also it doesn"t make sense that some furniture looks like it was last used a month ago.
@@alexandralica4673 That was the Austrian family that owned this place 11 years ago they might´ve bought that stuff . Usually the old furniture once bought is used by the family that inherits it from generation to generation until it breaks apart . Because it goes with the historical look of the manor house like that.
Thank you for sharing! The Castle is MAGNIFICENT! It breaks my heart that there is no one living there and caring for the place! I love how respectful y'all are when you explore. Keep up the good work! God Bless and keep you safe! 👍❤
That crest is called a fleur-de-lis. It’s meaning and history are very interesting. It has represented peace,war,religion, politics, royalty and more. It would have been interesting to see more of this home. Maybe have a part two when you are in these bigger places. Anyways, thanks for a very interesting video!
marilyn denler When my little brother was five. He asked my mom for pajamas with a “Rich emblem” she had no idea what he was requesting until he pointed to a fleur-de-Lis. 😆
Even though extremely interesting to see this, my heart cries blood seeing this place like it is! All those very fine antiques are going to rotten or be destroyed by rodents etc. Many of the things shown are actually valuable - not only in money but in cultural history point of view. My historical costumer heart aches because there probably is a trunk somewhere in the attic full of old clothes from the former centuries all being destroyed 😭 Probably not even people specialized in antiques would understand the value of the textiles in this building. The objects need to be saved for museums etc.
Those porcelain dolls are quite new. I had similar ones between 1993 and 1999. When I was a child. People equate porcelain with old. It isn't so. The really old porcelain dolls were very ugly and very scary looking.
This is such an amazing place. I love how there are wings for the children, guests, owners and the servants. The castle is well laid out and my imagination ran wild. Thanks so much for another wonderful tour.
Guys, absolutely it was one of the most incredible abandoned places you've ever been in my opinion. What a fascinating castle!!! Keep up doing a great work. Love, from Brazil 🇧🇷
Its like this guy was a time traveler. I say so because this house looks so new... so untouched... like he went back in time. If it was cleaned it would be sooooo crazy
Habla demasiado y se entretiene mucho en sótanos y cocinas donde normalmente no hay nada interesante en estas mansio es solo esta bien en la parte que los señores utilizan en lo demás no pisan y no les importa como este porque no lo ven y tampoco les interesan como vive el servicio suele estar viejo y abandonado no debería perder tanto tiempo y a veces se entretiene con cosas que se ve que no valen y tampoco entiende mucho de la calidad de las cosas lo que sí me gusta es que en cuentra muchas castillos y mansiones abandonadas no creí que la gente dejara las fotos o cosas muy personales abandonadas yo las quemaría antes
Then that would be subject to the law of "Shoot first, then ask questions" History as a whole is being destroyed by a lot of idiots so anything happening to this beautiful time capsule would be a tragedy!!
I love how he took in every detail and appreciated that he was actually there and catching a small glimpse of what it must’ve been like to live in the castle
I love this guy’s calming voice, and how he is so respectful of everything in the castle. This was relaxing to watch (except for the ads that kept getting in the way of my enjoyment of this video!). It was also interesting, informative, intriguing. I think I will watch it again when I need to feel calm and relax. :). Also, I was surprised at two things: it was relatively un-dusty, especially the bed linens, and that these people didn’t seem to pack up their belongings before they left!
They were either killed by intruders. Hence why their toothpaste is still there. Their beds look just slept in, and the knife is in the ceiling, or they left with their clothes and valuables and left the rest because they couldn't take everything to where they were going. We will never know.
This is by far the best video I’ve seen of abandoned mansions! The videos on other channels that I’ve seen are filmed very poorly and the camera moves too fast that it makes the viewer dizzy. I’m so glad I came across this great video. Not only is it filmed very nicely & at a slow pace, the narration allows us to imagine what life was like living in the castle. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to watch all the videos!
I love his expressions and how he shows so much excitement for the castles. I can definitely relate to his passion. It's also nice to have such a good cameraman that shows great views. awesome watch.
Steve Chamblin I'll cook lol - love the kitchen- and of course grow roses outside- you know what would be neat is if I stead of one family buying these places several families would form a co-operative. Not a commune - Wak!- like condos only a main kitchen- too bad I'm old errr 15 baths! Oh well, dreams over... time to wake up-
I'm crying like crazy here...It hurts my heart so much to see such a magnificent place abandoned. It's devastating. I have many antiques at my home from my ancestors, so it is hard for me. Thank you for your respect to the place.
I just have a hunch that someone is kind of keeping an eye on this place. Someone stated before that some areas seem to be clean and others are very dirty. I just bet someone checks in on that place. Great video guy! Thank you!
6:19 I can just imagine the parents sitting below the stairs, enjoying coffee or reading a book/newspaper and then two little girls come racing down the stairs with braided hair. Wow.
So sad to see this amazing time capsule just rotting away. Can’t believe there is no family to care for this and keep it fresh. How do people just walk away and leave all this behind? I’m so blown away.
Pretty simple. They are massive homes and very costly to maintain. I purchused a Victorian mansion in the US. 13 br 11 bathrooms,chapel, large library and 2 kitchens. I began restoring it after it had sat vacant for a decade. I was over $250,000 in repairs by the time I was fnished. I kept it for 2 years. The heating bill was insane around $1,200 in January. The maintnace and upkeep on it cost about $5,000 per year. Taxes were not cheap either. That's why these grand homes genetally go abandond.
Sometimes the bed has a death stain from where the owner died in their sleep and were not found for sometime. The shape is unmistakable and very chilling. Death stains can be found on floors as well. In the old days the remains might still be there. There were accounts of houses during and after the plague years where the whole family was still there. A pile of debris might be found with old bones showing through. If the person had been fat very rarely if the weather was right, they turned into soap. It's called saponification.
I think you guys are thinking too much. You think other people have just snuck in and messed with stuff? It's possible some punks were having fun throwing knives.
@@goldcherries That's exactly what I thought! Some intruders who were sleazy gangsters enjoyed practicing their knife-throwing skills because they are in the habit of getting in knife fights. There are many creepy guys like that here in my neighborhood in California.
Back then before refrigerators, they had an 'ice box'. A wooden cabinet looking piece that had an insulated inside- one side to put the giant block of ice that you would get from the ice man and the other side to keep your milk, butter and meat. I would love to own one!
@Iliyana Kanchovska you will find that they had running water back then (mostly in wealthy houses/manor houses) and and running water in normal households become more available from 1840's I've also noticed that people are making stupid comments about their being a modern fridge freezer and a modern toaster IT'S a Victorian Houses people still live in such places with modcon's people have obviously lived their since the Victorian age 🧐
@Iliyana Kanchovska the title said abbandend Victorian house it didn't say abbandend Victorian house that's been abbandend since Victorian times abbandend can be abbandend from a long period of time or a short period of time at No point did it say Victorian house abbandend since Victorian times people still live in such houses and even older houses watch the video and you will see that it very clearly wasn't abbandend in the Victorian era
Fantastic immaculate amazing locations you have fortunately shown us.... living in the US- We would NEVER get a chance to see these terrifically authentic places, materials & moreover , a glimpse into European living...I LOVE your channel- fan for a long time....Thanks!
I dream so often of stumbling onto just such a place. I would spend hours in just one room exploring. And never leave. Oh to be crazy rich and fill it with people down on their luck and children and young people and the elderly and work together to restore it and make it a forever home for both people and animals. I can dream....
It's not an axe it's a clever would have been used for hacking meats up for example lamb, pig and so on but for it to be in a bedroom a previous explorer of the house would have more than likely placed it there for a photo shoot and as for guns in a mannor house is pretty much normal for going out on shoots / hunts etc and the sword is a fencing sword it's a good sports . Any way stay safe and well Godbless
26:33 René Rapin (1621-1687) was a French Jesuit and writer. He was born at Tours and entered the Society of Jesus in 1639. He taught rhetoric, and wrote extensively both in verse and prose.
Thank you for finding that..I did google but wasn't sure if the answer I found was correct. I LOVE knowing that and if it were me holding those books...it would be very hard to put them down.
Leslie, this is THE most beautiful, intact place you have ever done. It's mind blowing to see the comfort that some were able to afford. The immense furniture that wouldn't even fit inside most homes. The wall coverings that give a sense of warmth. And those fireplaces! I am stunned.
Whats so weird is that it's as though there are two layers to the house. As though the original owner died when they were old and all their antique stuff was there. Then their grand kids and their kids inherited the house and moved in ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. They literally left all the antique stuff where it was, then just threw their modern toys and toiletries on top. Even at the beginning when you opened a cabinet, it was filled with antique china, all placed carefully in rows, but someone had thrown some modern paper plates on top.
This was an amazing time capsule. Thank you for the respect you show... (19:40) that doll you picked up is a Madame Alexander. They were pricey to buy new. The designs from the 1950's and 60's are red hot collectors items, and they sell for far more than original purchase price. In fact a 1916 Madame Alexander designed by French Sculpture Albert Margaine, sold at the 2014 Theriault's for $300,000. Next to that brass clock on the coffee table, that doll may be the most valuable item in that place. Thank you for not revealing this beautiful treasure trove of antiquity. Thank you so much for sharing.
So many treasures! They need to be preserved for prosperity in a museum. A crying shame these things are decaying with no one to care for them. Such beautiful old things. I would love to wander around in this place.
Things I found weird: 15:32 - fresh roses 18:26 - unusual recent-looking kiss marks on the mirror 23:01 - knife sticking to the ceiling 23:15 - fresh peonies 24:26 - is that blood stain on the lamp stand?
The roses and flowers would be fake or silk. The kiss marks would be very old kiss marks. Lipstick lasts a very long time. Once kissed on a surface. It has a use by date yes. But on a mirror it would stay there for decades unless wiped off. The knife in the ceiling is very strange indeed. Either a husband and wife had a very violent argument and he threw a butter knife and it got stuck in the ceiling, or there were intruders one evening, he threw a knife to protect them, and they were all killed. All of their clothes and valuables are gone. So I hope they were not killed.
And the gigantic cleaver on the bed?? And a pistol in the drawer. Very macabre vibes. He did say the place was looted, so maybe they left some things behind.
Your not the only one who noticed odd things. It was a beautiful castle and appreciate the tour, but found it odd that somethings were very dusty as one would expect....but why weren't the dishes and a lot of glass ware clean? Some of the bedding...no dust, looks almost new. I just find it odd is all. Maybe they cleaned things prior to recording so they could show us. Like the "ball" picture, it should have been kind of dirty and not so clean it reflected like a mirror. Either way, they Should turn it into a museum.
This mansion is spectacular,such beautiful furniture an furnishings,if I was homeless I would move in an keep a few rooms for myself ,an keep it tidy ,an to have a chapel is something else ,I love how you show us everything Lesley ,an tell us the story ,your my favourite explorers,thank you for taking us around with you love you guys,much love Ann uk xxx
The fact that he’s so gentle with the objects or is folding stuff and putting them back in the drawer or like fixing the pillow on the couch is literally so sweet haha he’s so adorable
Hello Bros of Decay! I found you as I was viewing the castle at Lindenwold in Ambler, Pennsylvania! I work right near this castle and the township was actually able to save it from demolition. They are building a development of homes around it but the castle will remain! I’m so happy because it is absolutely beautiful and it was also featured in the movie, “The Trouble With Angels”. I live castles and restoration, it will be my hobby when I retire in 2020. Thank you ever so much for the video on this castle. Elegance has been lost, I look forward to being part of the restoration of many places as is! Peace!
Please tell me that not only will it be saved from demolition, but that it will also be preserved and kept as this time capsule of history. It would forever haunt me to see people destroy it.
I know that castle in gambler Pa my Aunt was a nun sister of the holy family of Nazareth in n e Philly she took retreat there yrs ago... Just beautiful! Happy it's being kept! Peace
Love the castle beautiful when you went from the kitchen to a side room you called it a storage room it called a butlers pantry great job jordie with the camera work and lighting
I love anything vintage, especially old libraries and abandon mansions and castles... this is so stunning... what a glorious time capsule!!!! Thanks for showing us all... really made my day to see this!🥰
Thank you so much for the respect that y’all show these abandoned homes. And as much as I would love to see the outside of it, thank you for not showing it. The historic value to this place is amazing. The books that probably have many 1st editions to the copper pots/pans are incredible. Out of the whole castle there was one thing that was oddly out of place and not in that era and that was the little toy Fisher Price cash register. I thought that was very odd.
Great video! Just discovered you guys tonight. I have always been fascinated with old abandoned homes, castles, grand estates etc..... such history in them. Also, I find it wonderful that you are so respectful of these places.
I love your videos. It will be sad if some people find that Castle ... You're very careful and sweet with old goodies and stories of people who lived there. I like your respect. Thank you, from Portugal.
OMG! This is fantastic and just incredible! I couldn't imagine that this is possible to see and feel, even through monitor. Thank you guys so much for sharing this video, for respectful treatment of others stuff and history. Loved to watch the tour so much. It's first video from you I've seen, but definitely not the last one! Best wishes in what you do !
¡WOOOOW! Best abandoned castle EVER!!! If I were the president of France I would make a proclamation for the castle as a World heritage land mark to protect it, this is a Real Treasure. Thank you for great video.
I love it it’s all so fascinating ❤️. I wish the video was hours and hours long😄 so I can see every little detail . Thanks for showing us such wonderful beauties!
I feel like because the construction And architecture is so grand and strong that a lot of the outside world and weather doesn’t affect the inside as much as it would for a normal house. That’s why everything is left in such a good condition
The sitting area by the stairs where the chapel was had dust, the giant cob web on that door! The perfume smell though made me wonder if someone else was there....
Brickwork in kitchen looks new and that fridge is in no way "victorian" its amazing but looks like a place purpose made to look old during the late 80s or 90s. The dolls all look contemporary. I'd love to get a good look at some of the pieces there though.
This proves that no matter how much wealth and material possession you accumulate in life, you will leave all of it when it's time to "go".
So true!
Yup ,we won't take anything with us when we die
Doesn't mean you are not allowed to live in the best beautiful way .

Carol Reynolds most of the time the owners don’t watch the property at all because most of the time it is a corporation that owns it
Carol Reynolds worry about the people who are actually living in a house when it’s broken into and risk losing their lives to stupid people
Imagine if that castle could actually speak and tell the stories of the people who lived in it.
Just go to your local property deeds and or property foreclosures they can tell you who put the first board up give you the history of who when why to abandonment..
And if you're actually speaking of being just a fly on the wall, well honey that's a whole different ball game.

When I read historical novels, this is exactly the type of house I always envision.
I have seen this place on another one of these videos and expressed the exact same sentiments. Cathy at the Grange languishing over Heithcliff in Wuthering Heights or the Bennet girls dancing at a ball at Netherfield Park ball in Pride and Prejudice.
Not exactly historical I guess but nonetheless...
I was thinking the same thing ..what I picture when I read agatha christie and other books!!
Wasn't me! I!
I know what you mean. I was waiting anxiously for him to read the first page of that big book he brought out and tell us when it was published who it was published by and what the book was about but nothing
It was just a great big heavy buck.
If you're going to do a tour do it right.
I pray this place is protected from vandals. It would be a shame to have such a time capsule ruined.

I agree! Hope it stays like this for a long time
France is notorious for vandalism and graffiti. I have many questions as to this place's situation as it stands
Yes, luckily the vandalism that has occurred is minimal. Painting on the fridge and some broken items. Some things have been stolen.
It needs to have electronic surveillance as well as dogs and a caretaker or two !

Things that belong to a living person just turned back into an object after the person dies cause they are no longer loved. When the living leave a house the life of the house is just as dead and all it's contents. How often we have hear people say how much they love their homes. It's as if human life gives life to object thru the persons love and energy. Maybe that is why some places have a terrible feeling because the person that owned it was a terrible person. Houses where a murder took place are sometimes uninhabitable. I'm not saying because it's haunted but because of horrible human activity as saturated the house.

I like that they tried to be respectful - refolding the linen he shows, closing the cabinets back, gently replacing the china & other antiques he picks up - very refreshing & commendable.
But he shouldn't show the picture of the previous owner, that's not right.
he's trespassing, he's not respectful. And pushing the pleyel's notes was the most idiotic thing ever , those are worth 60000 euros.
@@backintimealwyn5736 lol it's literally abandoned, and also they probably payed to get in there, they would've been arrested after when they were "trespassing" but they werent right? Exactly.
@@BirgitBettina tell me how that isn't right.
I’m an avid collector of all things old. My favorite time period is the 1800’s. Especially the Victorian era. I would buy this house no questions asked in a HEART beat. So beautiful. I just hope people realize how AMAZING this house truly is. The stuff in there is like museum quality and worth a fortune...I hope and pray no one breaks in and vandalizes the mansion...they need to find this house a new owner. Someone who will appreciate it for all its worth! Love it so much. So amazing.
It'd be interesting to know why the last owners left without taking any of their belongings with them.
That's what I'm wondering, bc they at least could've sold the contents rather than let it all rot.
Maybe it was a convent/orphanage. The beds look like 1800s Eastlake. The pots are worth alot of money. Looks like it hasn't been lived in since the 1950s or before. There was a rose in a vase in the one bedroom, which means maybe someone was squatting there..living there. No dust on the one baby grand piano...odd.
Maybe the owner suddenly died and he/she had no child
@@EagleArrow No, convents and orphanages have bedrooms that are sparse and simple, with an impoverished lifestyle. I visited a convent once in Oregon in the U.S.A.; although the parlor for receiving guests was lovely, and the building had beautiful architecture and stained glass windows, the bedrooms on the second floor were tiny and simple; nuns' quarters are called "cells" because of their similarity to jail cells. Some of the nuns are highly educated in classical languages, literature, history, and the fine arts, so the convents have well-stocked libraries; nevertheless, the individual bedrooms are purposely simple to force the nuns to be self-effacing and extremely humble; it's a brainwashing technique; I knew a college girl in Portland, Oregon, who went to some kind of short-term Catholic program where they forced her to beg door-to-door for money to buy food and other basic necessities while she was at their program as a way of humiliating her even though she was not poor and had a home and a car and financially stable relatives in Oregon in the U.S.A.; she said that it was to teach her to be humble; this was a very sweet, well-behaved, church-going Catholic girl, who was not a criminal or addict or slut or snob, yet they still were trying to humiliate her for no reason.
@@EagleArrow yes maybe someone does I mean who would place and use a fridge in a 1800s castle it's really unusual and the yellow sofa near the first piano also seems to be clean. And the bed with the orange blanket seems to be different from all of the other beds.
i would've explore every single thing there and not miss any door. it really amazes me.
and drawer!

"One of the most beautiful untouched castles"
after a few secs: *touches everything*
I want to clean that place so bad 😂
hahaha me too! always in this videos jajaja... oh my...........
True 🤣😂
Fr. How good it would look clean !
ME TOO.
that was my thoughts thru the video! stand that candle back up! this is so good to go haha
10:19 thank you so much for keeping the location a secret. I’d hate for this place to be ransacked and vandalized. Really sir, such nice respect for such a historical place, I really appreciate 👍 !!!
Why is there no dust? I would swear I saw recently cut roses in the bedroom.
Aryll thank you for bringing this up
@@jankitch3913 there is dust literally everywhere.... The flowers are obviously plastic.......
Besides that, the place is neglected but not abandoned.
This place was clearly open for public viewing at one time shortly before it was closed up. So much of it, you can tell is laid out for display. The flowers in vases, the books on night stands, the chapel, even the girls room in the tower
was set up for optimum visual appeal. You can tell the rooms that were excluded. They are more haphazard and lived in. When it was last used they probably didn't realize it was the last time even. Sad that it's left to fall into ruin. It is absolutely beautiful.
They had so many rooms because when people like that entertained they commonly put their visitors up for several days, even weeks.
I thought so too, and many of these places that they go to are the same. Your explanation makes a lot of sense.
If I lived in Europe and was homeless, I would move in and take care of it
And pawn a few odds and ends...
That’s a very nice dream. I would love to do the same! 😍 But in reality, fixing that place up would coast millions of dollars. 😪 Even if you were handy enough to do a lot of the work yourself, the materials would coast a fortune. I would LOVE to see this place restored though!!! 🥰🥰 Surly there are people spending millions of dollars on lavish vacations, cars, clothes, and other things they don’t need or even enjoy that can donate some of their funds to the resturation of this beautiful house! 💖🏰💖
Yes noting wrong with careing for a place as a squater , as long as you care for it Love the Ideal specially , in Europe
I'm sure that many homeless people and fugitives and travelers take turns squatting in many empty castles in France because there are tens of thousands of empty castles for sale in France. As soon as I get rich from my career, I am going to start buying castles as a collection.
I know thats right no one cares..bring a generator
i love how gentle and respectful he is with everything he touched, and always put everything back
In the bedroom with the crib was the baby's room the other bed was called the day bed for the nanny. The first floor sitting room was called a parlor there is usually 2 one for the men to sit and smoke the other for the women , top floor was always for the servants to sleep, im an architect if you was wondering
Shawn Pahl Thank you for sharing!
Shawn, do you ever come to the US? I have five acres in Virginia and want to build a Victorian farm house. It has an old house on it, I am making it livable so I can stay there until my new house is built.
You had an insight about it and being an architect is the most elegant things ever studying architecture is just timeless art big respect

Spooky. Like they woke up and said “take only what you can carry, we’re leaving now!”

There were even crumbles on the table

it's haunted.
Mom im scared
"These rich people had a lot of sins so they needed there own confessional" hilarious!!!
Paul Humphries yes and no. Think about the peasants working on their domain, the huge taxes they had to pay, the hige amount of physical work they had to do and the poverty they lived in. No schools, no hospitals. Why do you think they started uprisings and revolutions?
A lot of French chateaux come with chapels. These chateaux are in the middle of no where its convenient to build a chapel in its garden at least.
iseeyou I know, I’m not saying that they built chapels because they had a lot of sins, it would be a simplistic explanation. I’m only saying that, even if it sounded funny when the guy said it, there is at least some truth to it...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ruclips.net/video/i9SE-4OWj5o/видео.html
The pianos alone are worth several thousands... crazy all that was left behind. Really wish we could find out more about the people who built the castle originally, as well as the people who lived there. Great video, thank you ♥️
I would love to go there, clean everything carefully and see life returning to this place
Yesss
Yes, me too. I always wonder "why" are these mansions abandoned and "where" did everyone go? Why was everything left behind? With all those rooms surely it must have been a large family. There certainly was enough room for the extended family too.
You're a very loving person
Kinda got reminded of that scene in Beauty and the Beast when I read your comment. I'm equally curious tbh 😁
So very sad. Breaks my heart, this place needs life and love inside.
Thank you for being so sensitive and respectful.
I honestly wish I could make this my home, I’m so in love
This house is amazing. The man seems sweet but I would love to see the same house tour with historians/experts who actually knew about the history of the home and the architectural details.
100% agree, or if a historian tagged along to actually talk about the items and places. Nice guys, but they don't seem knowledgeable enough which is a shame.
I was thinking the same thing because servants did not sleep in attics. And they had that many bedrooms because they had a lot of children and a lot of servants. Obviously not in the same sleeping quarters. If they're going to upload videos like this they need to do some research first.
@@hollypea6759 Servants did sleep in the attics - certainly in the stately homes of the UK, have witnessed many servant quarters in UK tours of such houses.
WE NEED to start a petition to have this glorious home and historical site of grandeur preserved and protected. Someone should go in an accurately restore everything and then even put it into business as a bed and breakfast. My heart breaks thinking this place may one day not exist.
Then start one
no. someone still having this house ofcourse. but they just didn't using this again yet.
That is a private property, I can't believe some people are unable to respect this, disgraceful. Do you do that in your own country?
I love this guy's voice and his enthusiasm. He claims every single thing is "incredible" even the most boring thing. He would be an amazing salesman.
I agee. And he is handsome as well
Too funny, i agree...you had to watch another video he did. He got emotional and now i'm hooked. lol
one more thing....i don't picture him like a salesman but more of a yoga instructor or someone who gives meditations.
De que le sirve si esta bien pendejo para agarrar las cosas.
Except nothing is boring :)
I dont' understand, why would you leave your house with the piano open, even books are just lying there. So strange...
But what happened, (why its strange)?!......
It's kinda creepy when you think about it......and sad......
They were older, they probably got sick and passed away or hospitalized. Whichever was the last one to pass may have been put in a home for the elderly (I don't know if they do that in Europe) so they weren't living alone. Maybe they had to file bankruptcy and were forced to move and they only took what they brought, leaving all of the original stuff there. 🤔
@@l.a.picasa isnt there a time period where if ur house is left unattended the government will use it for something?
@@playbrrr475 well it definitely depends on the state of the house but also whether a family member somewhere owns it or the bank owns it or what. If the bank, they may resell if it is livable. But some houses that are paid off simply get forgotten about. No one wants to deal with them or spend the money it takes to either fix or demolish.
@@l.a.picasa wow that is actually very tragic. Places like these need to be restored as they may one day fade away :/ thanks for explaining!
I am from the USA and all those antiques just amaze me. It breaks my heart to see all those beautiful pieces just rotting. I myself collect antiques and I would love to go there and purchase some. Love your videos!
I wish he would look at the dates in the books see when they were printed...
ha me too, i guess we are the true librarians lol
Me too
They need two polish ,dust,and clean everything up . open for the public to see for a fee. That should never set and rot to valuable.
I absolutely HATE how they skip over the books. That's the history and value right there 🤦🏾♂️
He did do on one 1644 to 1669
It's so weird how the last owners would just abandon it all; furniture, etc. it would really be a gold mine of antiques to sell.
CopperMoon we have lots of antiques fairs in Britain and I wonder if they have been stolen from places like this Hope this places are protected
selling all those 20th century reproductions would be more a pain than . gold mine... nothing is original, so it has no real value, (perhaps except the piano...)
@@milels6917 Obviously not very protected...
Daniel D'a unless looking closely and you were a expert how can you say .? The old fireplaces look original
@@milels6917 If you know your thing, you don't need to be looking for stamps under the upstholery and frames to know they're all 20th century reproductions, and while the fireplaces look nice enough, they're not original, but mid-late 19th century inspired after 18th models, still valuable but nothing out of extraordinary. still my comment was in general, regarding ot the mobile furniture.
There was a huge painting on the stair it was definitely stolen :(
Your statement is based on what exactly?
@@psychoXdown on the fact that I live in a house like that where my family has lived for hundreds of years and I know exactly for what each room and each item in the house was used for and what were the traditions of decorating the houses at those times and the styles of furniture or wallpaper. There was a huge painting , probably of a famous artist and of course if the members of the family didn´t take it out of the frame themselves then there was someone who stole it :)
@@forjustice7209 When he first showed it, it appeared to be a framed tapestry.
@@forjustice7209 Perfectly right. It should be obvious to anyone that a painting is missing from that frame and that also why the wallpaper in that area has a different shade. But it is strange how many new and very cheap things can be seen all over the place. Also it doesn"t make sense that some furniture looks like it was last used a month ago.
@@alexandralica4673 That was the Austrian family that owned this place 11 years ago they might´ve bought that stuff . Usually the old furniture once bought is used by the family that inherits it from generation to generation until it breaks apart . Because it goes with the historical look of the manor house like that.
Things were made beautifully back in the day. Art was everywhere. Now we are in the practicality. Soul less things ...

Thank you for sharing! The Castle is MAGNIFICENT! It breaks my heart that there is no one living there and caring for the place! I love how respectful y'all are when you explore. Keep up the good work! God Bless and keep you safe! 👍❤
That crest is called a fleur-de-lis. It’s meaning and history are very interesting. It has represented peace,war,religion, politics, royalty and more. It would have been interesting to see more of this home. Maybe have a part two when you are in these bigger places. Anyways, thanks for a very interesting video!
marilyn denler When my little brother was five. He asked my mom for pajamas with a “Rich emblem” she had no idea what he was requesting until he pointed to a fleur-de-Lis. 😆
Surprising a Frenchman didn't know that. Also, the bureau he referred to was a desk.
I've always heard the bureau (desk) like that one being referred to as a secretary (for writing letters and paying bills).
The chapel was gorgeous...imagine how much more beautiful it was at the time of its use 🤩
Gawd...this blows my hair back. How is it just abandoned and left like that and no intruders to carry antiques off. Incredible!
I really appreciate how you keep the location secret and the respect you have as you journey into the past history. Thank you. Be blessed
Even though extremely interesting to see this, my heart cries blood seeing this place like it is! All those very fine antiques are going to rotten or be destroyed by rodents etc. Many of the things shown are actually valuable - not only in money but in cultural history point of view. My historical costumer heart aches because there probably is a trunk somewhere in the attic full of old clothes from the former centuries all being destroyed 😭 Probably not even people specialized in antiques would understand the value of the textiles in this building. The objects need to be saved for museums etc.
kirosakeet I think there are care takers of this castle
Zamieca Paña very much doubt it. As they wouldn’t leave all those antique dolls to rot in the window....
I was just saying this u am a historical artifact madwoman I love seeing old stuff
Those porcelain dolls are quite new. I had similar ones between 1993 and 1999. When I was a child. People equate porcelain with old. It isn't so. The really old porcelain dolls were very ugly and very scary looking.

Guys, absolutely it was one of the most incredible abandoned places you've ever been in my opinion. What a fascinating castle!!! Keep up doing a great work. Love, from Brazil 🇧🇷
Its like this guy was a time traveler. I say so because this house looks so new... so untouched... like he went back in time. If it was cleaned it would be sooooo crazy
Habla demasiado y se entretiene mucho en sótanos y cocinas donde normalmente no hay nada interesante en estas mansio es solo esta bien en la parte que los señores utilizan en lo demás no pisan y no les importa como este porque no lo ven y tampoco les interesan como vive el servicio suele estar viejo y abandonado no debería perder tanto tiempo y a veces se entretiene con cosas que se ve que no valen y tampoco entiende mucho de la calidad de las cosas lo que sí me gusta es que en cuentra muchas castillos y mansiones abandonadas no creí que la gente dejara las fotos o cosas muy personales abandonadas yo las quemaría antes
18:25 THERE ARE KISSES ON THE MIRROR OOOOPPP
Omg lolll
I saw that too but thought i was wrong
I love your videos! I hope no one breaks into this beautiful home and destroys it
Then that would be subject to the law of "Shoot first, then ask questions" History as a whole is being destroyed by a lot of idiots so anything happening to this beautiful time capsule would be a tragedy!!
This place is so beautiful sad that everything has been left behind. Pray no vandalism at this place.
I love how he took in every detail and appreciated that he was actually there and catching a small glimpse of what it must’ve been like to live in the castle
I love this guy’s calming voice, and how he is so respectful of everything in the castle. This was relaxing to watch (except for the ads that kept getting in the way of my enjoyment of this video!). It was also interesting, informative, intriguing. I think I will watch it again when I need to feel calm and relax. :). Also, I was surprised at two things: it was relatively un-dusty, especially the bed linens, and that these people didn’t seem to pack up their belongings before they left!
Yes I love the way he appreciates it so much and is so careful to not damage anything
I mean he doesn't have to touch anything to begin with lol
They were either killed by intruders. Hence why their toothpaste is still there. Their beds look just slept in, and the knife is in the ceiling, or they left with their clothes and valuables and left the rest because they couldn't take everything to where they were going. We will never know.
I thought it was weird that there is hardly any dust too.
This is by far the best video I’ve seen of abandoned mansions! The videos on other channels that I’ve seen are filmed very poorly and the camera moves too fast that it makes the viewer dizzy. I’m so glad I came across this great video. Not only is it filmed very nicely & at a slow pace, the narration allows us to imagine what life was like living in the castle. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to watch all the videos!
I just imagined how this abandoned castle was once full of life. it’s so beautiful it needs to be cared for and protected!
I love his expressions and how he shows so much excitement for the castles. I can definitely relate to his passion. It's also nice to have such a good cameraman that shows great views. awesome watch.
Absolutely stunning! I think this is one of the best ones yet. The antiques there are amazing. When can I move in?? Great video as always!
Steve Chamblin I'll cook lol - love the kitchen- and of course grow roses outside- you know what would be neat is if I stead of one family buying these places several families would form a co-operative.

I legit read your comment while the video says so just in time 🤣
6:19 I can just imagine the parents sitting below the stairs, enjoying coffee or reading a book/newspaper and then two little girls come racing down the stairs with braided hair. Wow.
So sad to see this amazing time capsule just rotting away. Can’t believe there is no family to care for this and keep it fresh. How do people just walk away and leave all this behind? I’m so blown away.
Pretty simple. They are massive homes and very costly to maintain. I purchused a Victorian mansion in the US. 13 br 11 bathrooms,chapel, large library and 2 kitchens. I began restoring it after it had sat vacant for a decade. I was over $250,000 in repairs by the time I was fnished. I kept it for 2 years. The heating bill was insane around $1,200 in January. The maintnace and upkeep on it cost about $5,000 per year. Taxes were not cheap either.
That's why these grand homes genetally go abandond.
I would totally freak out if I went in an abondaned castle and someone was actually in one of those beds!
Haha hope that never happens to me
Sometimes the bed has a death stain from where the owner died in their sleep and were not found for sometime. The shape is unmistakable and very chilling. Death stains can be found on floors as well. In the old days the remains might still be there. There were accounts of houses during and after the plague years where the whole family was still there. A pile of debris might be found with old bones showing through. If the person had been fat very rarely if the weather was right, they turned into soap. It's called saponification.

"You can see here a victorian fridge"
a very modern victorian fridge yes, just like the toaster looking thing-
Back then before refrigerators, they had an 'ice box'. A wooden cabinet looking piece that had an insulated inside- one side to put the giant block of ice that you would get from the ice man and the other side to keep your milk, butter and meat.
I would love to own one!
Obviously people have lived in it since So there will obviously be more modern things in the house along with the Victorian thing's Use your head
@Iliyana Kanchovska you will find that they had running water back then (mostly in wealthy houses/manor houses) and and running water in normal households become more available from 1840's I've also noticed that people are making stupid comments about their being a modern fridge freezer and a modern toaster IT'S a Victorian Houses people still live in such places with modcon's people have obviously lived their since the Victorian age 🧐
@Iliyana Kanchovska the title said abbandend Victorian house it didn't say abbandend Victorian house that's been abbandend since Victorian times abbandend can be abbandend from a long period of time or a short period of time at No point did it say Victorian house abbandend since Victorian times people still live in such houses and even older houses watch the video and you will see that it very clearly wasn't abbandend in the Victorian era
I noticed all of the beds were unmade, like everyone had jump out of bed in a hurry
that orange blanket looks pretty new tbh

Why the frick is an axe inside a person's bedroom. I'd fricking like to know the story of this house
Yes... its very spooky..
Barrels of weapon lying on floor
Probably was used for firewood for the fireplace keeping the room warm. It's definitely a weird place to leave it though, I agree
@@RoseKB22 yeah most likely
It's not an axe it's a clever would have been used for hacking meats up for example lamb, pig and so on but for it to be in a bedroom a previous explorer of the house would have more than likely placed it there for a photo shoot and as for guns in a mannor house is pretty much normal for going out on shoots / hunts etc and the sword is a fencing sword it's a good sports . Any way stay safe and well Godbless
I'll tell you the Story!! It's BULLSHIT!!
I always love the wallpaper in these old castles and manors.
26:33 René Rapin (1621-1687) was a French Jesuit and writer.
He was born at Tours and entered the Society of Jesus in 1639. He taught rhetoric, and wrote extensively both in verse and prose.
Peter N Thank you...I was very interested in the books...hoping he would tell us some titles! Greatly appreciated! Good eye, as well!
Thank you for finding that..I did google but wasn't sure if the answer I found was correct. I LOVE knowing that and if it were me holding those books...it would be very hard to put them down.
So happy to see you two in such a Wonderful place
Leslie, this is THE most beautiful, intact place you have ever done. It's mind blowing to see the comfort that some were able to afford. The immense furniture that wouldn't even fit inside most homes. The wall coverings that give a sense of warmth. And those fireplaces! I am stunned.
I love how the mirror in the small bedroom's wardrobe has lip marks on it like testing out lipstick
i saw that too
One does need to blot. Lol. 💄💋👄
Whats so weird is that it's as though there are two layers to the house. As though the original owner died when they were old and all their antique stuff was there. Then their grand kids and their kids inherited the house and moved in ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. They literally left all the antique stuff where it was, then just threw their modern toys and toiletries on top. Even at the beginning when you opened a cabinet, it was filled with antique china, all placed carefully in rows, but someone had thrown some modern paper plates on top.
Gives me the sense its a films stoudio!Souch a good condition!!!!
This was an amazing time capsule. Thank you for the respect you show...
(19:40) that doll you picked up is a Madame Alexander.
They were pricey to buy new.
The designs from the 1950's and 60's are red hot collectors items, and they sell for far more than original purchase price.
In fact a 1916 Madame Alexander designed by French Sculpture Albert Margaine, sold at the 2014 Theriault's for $300,000.
Next to that brass clock on the coffee table, that doll may be the most valuable item in that place.
Thank you for not revealing this beautiful treasure trove of antiquity.
Thank you so much for sharing.
they’re really beautiful!!
So many treasures! They need to be preserved for prosperity in a museum. A crying shame these things are decaying with no one to care for them.
Such beautiful old things. I would love to wander around in this place.
Things I found weird:
15:32 - fresh roses
18:26 - unusual recent-looking kiss marks on the mirror
23:01 - knife sticking to the ceiling
23:15 - fresh peonies
24:26 - is that blood stain on the lamp stand?
Silk flowers are a thing that exist and the property has only been abandoned for 10 years
The roses and flowers would be fake or silk. The kiss marks would be very old kiss marks. Lipstick lasts a very long time. Once kissed on a surface. It has a use by date yes. But on a mirror it would stay there for decades unless wiped off. The knife in the ceiling is very strange indeed. Either a husband and wife had a very violent argument and he threw a butter knife and it got stuck in the ceiling, or there were intruders one evening, he threw a knife to protect them, and they were all killed. All of their clothes and valuables are gone. So I hope they were not killed.
And the gigantic cleaver on the bed?? And a pistol in the drawer. Very macabre vibes. He did say the place was looted, so maybe they left some things behind.
Your not the only one who noticed odd things. It was a beautiful castle and appreciate the tour, but found it odd that somethings were very dusty as one would expect....but why weren't the dishes and a lot of glass ware clean? Some of the bedding...no dust, looks almost new. I just find it odd is all. Maybe they cleaned things prior to recording so they could show us. Like the "ball" picture, it should have been kind of dirty and not so clean it reflected like a mirror. Either way, they Should turn it into a museum.

Thank you very much Ann ☺️❤️
The empty frame in the stairway probably had the painting cut out by the thief you mentioned.
Or the owners took it with them when they left.
The fact that he’s so gentle with the objects or is folding stuff and putting them back in the drawer or like fixing the pillow on the couch is literally so sweet haha he’s so adorable
Hello Bros of Decay! I found you as I was viewing the castle at Lindenwold in Ambler, Pennsylvania! I work right near this castle and the township was actually able to save it from demolition. They are building a development of homes around it but the castle will remain! I’m so happy because it is absolutely beautiful and it was also featured in the movie, “The Trouble With Angels”. I live castles and restoration, it will be my hobby when I retire in 2020. Thank you ever so much for the video on this castle. Elegance has been lost, I look forward to being part of the restoration of many places as is! Peace!
Please tell me that not only will it be saved from demolition, but that it will also be preserved and kept as this time capsule of history. It would forever haunt me to see people destroy it.
Thank you for the update. I wish you a happy retirement.
Yes, they are most definitely keeping the castle for the sales offices. If you Google it now there is a drone video of where it stands now
I know that castle in gambler Pa my Aunt was a nun sister of the holy family of Nazareth in n e Philly she took retreat there yrs ago... Just beautiful! Happy it's being kept! Peace
He said this castle is in southern France???
Love the castle beautiful when you went from the kitchen to a side room you called it a storage room it called a butlers pantry great job jordie with the camera work and lighting
I love anything vintage, especially old libraries and abandon mansions and castles... this is so stunning... what a glorious time capsule!!!! Thanks for showing us all... really made my day to see this!🥰
Thank you so much for the respect that y’all show these abandoned homes. And as much as I would love to see the outside of it, thank you for not showing it. The historic value to this place is amazing. The books that probably have many 1st editions to the copper pots/pans are incredible. Out of the whole castle there was one thing that was oddly out of place and not in that era and that was the little toy Fisher Price cash register. I thought that was very odd.
Great video! Just discovered you guys tonight. I have always been fascinated with old abandoned homes, castles, grand estates etc..... such history in them. Also, I find it wonderful that you are so respectful of these places.
Thank you so much. Today i fly back from Spain we just shot a 22 episode series over there. You are gonna love it ☺️
I love your videos.
It will be sad if some people find that Castle ...
You're very careful and sweet with old goodies and stories of people who lived there.
I like your respect.
Thank you, from Portugal.
Thank you.
That was so relaxing.
You are a sweet, kind, considerate soul who would be a lovely dad!
A credit to your parent/s!
OMG! This is fantastic and just incredible! I couldn't imagine that this is possible to see and feel, even through monitor. Thank you guys so much for sharing this video, for respectful treatment of others stuff and history. Loved to watch the tour so much. It's first video from you I've seen, but definitely not the last one! Best wishes in what you do !
¡WOOOOW! Best abandoned castle EVER!!! If I were the president of France I would make a proclamation for the castle as a World heritage land mark to protect it, this is a Real Treasure. Thank you for great video.
Thats a bit to much. there are many of those places abandoned in france
I just love you guys. Thank you for another awesome video : )
Our pleasure Olga
I love it it’s all so fascinating ❤️. I wish the video was hours and hours long😄 so I can see every little detail . Thanks for showing us such wonderful beauties!
The need to clean and restore that place back to the way it was 100 years ago. It's absolutely beautiful.
Amazing and such a real great find. Thank you for sharing.
The place is suspiciously clean for being abandoned.
A A why do you think it is?
I feel like because the construction And architecture is so grand and strong that a lot of the outside world and weather doesn’t affect the inside as much as it would for a normal house. That’s why everything is left in such a good condition
A A no dust for abandoned house
The sitting area by the stairs where the chapel was had dust, the giant cob web on that door! The perfume smell though made me wonder if someone else was there....
Brickwork in kitchen looks new and that fridge is in no way "victorian" its amazing but looks like a place purpose made to look old during the late 80s or 90s. The dolls all look contemporary. I'd love to get a good look at some of the pieces there though.
Oh how I wish I could read those books on the history of the castle. Beautiful job guys. You rock!
