I love you guys so much for helping me to see what I am not able to see personally. ive been disabled for 30 years and this is a passion of mine. thank you for showing me things ive longed to see. god bless you on you on your journeys! please respond.
I agree. It’s really unbelievable that people don’t respect history and non-replaceable things of the past, not to mention leaving them in place! It really is heartbreaking when you see that idiots have destroyed things.
@@Jaspurr28 its doomed anyway. the mold took mostly over all walls, its literally falling apart. also the roof gona collapse probably in the next years. i have been to this place maybe like 5 yrs ago for my first time
My physical impairment prevents me from traveling and exploring, you guys have opened up the world! You're all so nice and respectful to the locations,wish everyone was as good as you are! Bless you xxx
Dave, I'm so sorry that you hurt your knee so badly. The explore was still so lovely as you struggled through. Thank you for your dedication but I hope that you didn't make your injury worse by continuing the explore. Stay safe and feel better my friend. Love to you and your family.
That was the main thing that got my attention! Hundreds of beautiful giant persian carpets. Those are worth 5k, or even 20k usd depending on their sizes!
I recognize this explore. Brothers of Decay have been here. They didn't show the outside. I'm glad you did. I love how you're just as excited as I am! Love all the old stuff. I love looking back in time. Love you guys. ✌️♥️🇺🇸
I remember seeing this place too and thinking it was one of the most beautiful places ever explored! I can hear it in Your voice as you go through each room! I am sorry you have to be in pain to bring your viewers pleasure! Please take care of yourself this old lady from the states is giving you a thumbs up for another great explore! Don’s wife Shirley
Wow, This was a very beautiful and special place..So sad to see it go to waste. There is a lot of priceless antiques..this needs to be saved. Or at least the contents before the mode does to much damage...Great Job, God bless you for doing this with your knee. After this your going to need to prop it up and ice it down. A little pain meds wouldn't hurt. I pray for a speedy recovery..Thank you for sharing. Love from the US.💜🙏🐦
so this one actually affected me emotionally... especially when you walked into the library... what a mind boggling experience that must be to see a place like that. Thank you Dave, for sharing these places with us before they are gone forever... Your channel is growing quickly and I hope that you continue to bring us these magical places. Your genuine love of these places really shows in your videos. That is why everyone loves you :)
It makes me want to spend days tidying up where possible just to make it look better - it’s stunning! I can imagine it without the mess and mouldy walls just fabulous. What a find. I do not understand why these places get left it makes no sense. Let’s all pool our resources and buy it 😍 🌹
@@Jennifer.Ridgeway Me too. I keep fantasying about getting an old house on land to fix up doing homesteading moving outside the city, but one needs a serious chunk of money and adequate income to make it actually happen before one gets too old. I wouldn't touch anything until I had the deed or knew for sure I could pay the mortgage loan off. A regular job isn't enough in this day and age to successfully acquire home ownership.
The mold removal alone would be so expensive it wouldn't be feasible. That's not something you want to mess with. My cousin lived in an apartment that had black mold in it and she spent over two years trying to correct the effects from the black mold on her body. Some things she will deal with for the rest of her life. At one point if her numbers didn't improve she was going to have to start a chemo type therapy. Luckily she did not have to.
@@Jennifer.Ridgeway I live in Niagara falls, Ontario Canada and my home was built in 1907. I had to redo the whole house but luckily the basement was dry and there was no mol. My home is only 1600 sq.ft and without decor or anything fancy it cost me Aprox. 60,000. That's new wiring new plumbing new drywall in certain areas (about 2 1/2 rooms and attic insulation. With just those important thing done it didn't include new roof new kitchen cabinets new sump pump new windows. Anyway you get the picture. $$$$
When you opened the door with all the sewing machines, I fell in love! All the old machines reminded me of my grandma when she use to sew on one like those. It is such a shame to let such treasures just sit there and decay. Then on the other hand we would miss all of the joy of discovering all of these treasures from long ago and maybe a little of the history of those times. Thank you so much for sharing these places with us. You are making it possible for those of us who can't travel or do a lot of walking an opportunity to see the wonderful and interesting places from around the world. Safe travels!
All those sewing machines were made literally 5 mins drive from me here in Clydebank, Scotland. Such a shame the amount of jobs went when the factory closed.
Yes.. did you notice how clean everything is? I have a treadle machine in my family room and it has more dust on it that all five of those combined did. Just from sitting. The fact that all this stuff has sat undisturbed there isn't much dust. I wonder if it was a school or business? Please close the doors. Turn off the lights (just kidding).
Saw this mansion a few weeks ago, filmed by some one else but its so sad to see the vandalism as there was nothing out of place then and now items just thrown about. It is a beautiful place and should be respected.
Yes I just saw it also by Bros of Decay you tuber and his video looked like nothing was touched! Everything so nice n beat and now it looks like it’s been ransacked so sad
I live in the United States in Springfield Illinois. I don't see things like this very often It seems like a fairy tale!! Wow, I'm almost speechless sooo Beautiful!!!!
Hey neighbor! I'm from Missouri 2hrs west of StLouis!. I wonder how many couches are in that place? Gorgeous! The French know gorgeous!! Would love a longer, slower video of that wonderful place!
I have learned to look around and remember all those around me, at 62 yrs today have learned to look at remember that we all started as a blessing in someones eye❤
This is a beautiful chateau, but it is a shame that it has been trashed. Some just don't show respect to others property. I appreciate the way you handle your exploration.
If the owner is still alive, then the government has no reason to get involved. But it's true that in France, we have a lot of historical buildings that are falling apart due to a lack of money.
I can vividly imagine a girl walking the woods behind that mansion. Sitting by that overgrown statue, 2:40 running her hand through the water, looking up at the trees in summer. It's like a movie set.
This place needs to be kept as-is and turned into a museum for people to see.. This is rare to see a place this unique and complete. Clear the mold out and let people tour it...
As a little girl, I would dream of living in a castle Just like that. Thank you. I would have never been able to see the castle from my dreams if you had not explored there. I am from America and will not have the opportunity to go abroad. So thank you again for what you do.
Das Böse We know it’s a continent, but many USA citizens refer to our country as America. Just as Canadians call theirs Canada and Mexicans - Mexico. But you know that.
Pamela Terrill maybe is it’s not a dream , maybe it was a life past memory... especially if you say this dream happened when you were a child ... there is so much about us that we don’t know ... so you never know... maybe you used to live in a beautiful castle
@@dasbose4962 The United States of America. Which I'm sure you probably figured but want to be one of those people who are so unhappy with life that no one can say anything without a 15 minute debate on any mistakes people may have made. So to you have a nice day. Maybe get some chocolate a good book and box of tissues, to make your obvious perfect life even better. If you didn't understand all my sarcasm. Get a life.
AWE... Breath taking..My favourite so far. Can't believe this building and all those beautiful things are just left, it's heart breaking. IThese are the explores I love the most, Chateau's, European mansions and castles. I could happily live in this Chateau.. Great video.
@@joytobias-christo9490 It would be so special to have your own beautiful chapel. This was a really wealthy Christian which is extremely rare today for Luciferiansim hailing Lucifer as the light bearer of the world is far more popular today among the financial elite in the global exclusive club thing where they're a cabal of world citizens. Lucifer, the Eastern Star is though to have been Venus which is the eastern star, but could be thought of as their big money, high power global finance, and high technologies with them seeking immortality instead of accepting Jesus as lord and savior king of kings. Most of the really wealthy today are, 'living gods,' hailing Lucifer as their higher power. This is why we have evil or the anti-Christ rising today all around this world making horrible things like ISIS, Notre Dame burning down, and risk of WW3 actually happening on our watch.
Ahh, the SEWING machines in the (one) of library rooms, the design of the individual bed rooms & multiple sitting rooms, the intact stained glass pieces, utility of design in the furniture ...! The decay appears reversible if the restoration started soon. The builder(s) were inspired, so much light still makes it way into the usable areas. Nothing I saw carried a gloomy aura; you were quite delighted even through your obvious pain. Thank you.
It's so expensive to take care of and run a business there, we already have so mansion turned into Bed and Breakfast... But so much mansions and chateaux in France.. Hard to keep everything running sadly
You are so right! It IS the most beautiful home so far! Love the feeling of every room-it's perfect! You can tell there was a lot of life in that home once and lots of love. Many interests. Did you show the smaller bldgs around the courtyard? Elevate that knee! Ice it. Cortisone shots and maybe an elastic wrap. My knees started that last year and popping out of place. Xrays showed no cartilage left so surgery recommended. I use velcro knee pads for garden work lol. A walker temporarily takes the weight off, pain med, cortisone shot. Quick tips, temporary relief until surgery maybe. I know the pain you're in it's awful! Wear a wrap when you do lots of walking and steps until a more permanent solution is decided. Hugs!
Me too! I wanted to collect all those loose playing cards. It didn't fit the place. It is so odd that some bedrooms looked just like they could be slept in. The last one with the fluffy white pillows and white spread? It looks really well taken care of. No dust?
can I help? I love renovating and this actually would not take that many work since the walls and floors looks fine, it just need some tydying and desinfection :-)
Agree with you Victoria.People are not willing to pay the price of real craftmanship, i like the quality & the art of making furniture over the ugly stuff from Ikea.Would love to restore an old building to its former glory.
Completely love the blue couches sporadically in the castle and the floral printed head and footboard in the bedroom with the writers desk and floral curtains. Soooo gorgeous!
I am simply blown away! How I wished for the capability to jump through my screen to join you in person! It would have taken me days, as I would be oohing and aahing over every single thing. What character and beauty still remains of this sadly abandoned home. What a tragedy. I figure the top floor must have been the servant's quarters, with the head housekeeper laying claim to the nice suite at the end of the hall. I wish I could go back in time to see the chateau in it's busy, glory days. So much history. Your video deserves to go viral, but I am half afraid that it will, and that the wrong people will discover the location! I hope your knee is better. Thanks for taking this one for the Team. I must watch this again, once I've subbed and shared! Cheers from Nova Scotia!
This was amazing the best yet. I would like to say a big thank you, you have made such a difference to my life. Being disabled and in lockdown just sucks. Watching your videos, I am able to explore and enjoy the great outdoors again. X
That thing that looks like a small elevator shaft, that’s called a dumbwaiter. It’s used for bringing food up from the kitchen to the upper floors during the cold months
Yes, that shaft with a pulley is a dumb waiter.Smaller ones were used for food/dishes, the larger ones were used for both laundry & wood for the fireplaces. The 3rd floor rooms look like maid & butler’s quarters, up the back stairs. Seeing this gorgeous place wasting away is a complete sin. The cost of fuel alone to heat that place must’ve been astronomical! The family should sell that property & let someone save it. Haunted locations are even higher in demand.
DRUGSTOREMAKEUPDIVA absolutely! My son would be riding that thing up & down soon as he could walk too. I keep making my hub & 15 yo carry all the laundry down the steps, bc I want a laundry shoot so bad! I can’t lift over 10 lbs, so I’m hoping they get so sick of being pack mules, they’ll put one in for me. I’m not holding my breath😉
What an exquisite castle! It's so tasteful compared to many others that are overdone and too ornate. Even their sense of color is perfection. There is so much I could say about that place. It deserves to be repaired and loved again. Imagine how many beautiful apartments could be made in there? Or as you folks say, Flats. Thank you for showing us this gem despite the pain you were in. Take care of that knee so you don't damage it permanently. You and my son are the same age, still young, but at the age when healing slows down some. So take care, cuz I want to see a lot more of Europe and these unique places!
Oh wow! If I had the money I would gladly move in just for the library alone. Such a cozy little spot to sit and drink tea with a fire going. Imagine it during the Christmas holidays. Nice!
@Bink Right. One is fortunately just to have a studio apartment these days while tons of people camping out in the freezing cold. I live in a fairly large American city, but I suspect European cities are much like my own today with increasingly poverty, housing insecurity, and widening wealth gap. We think we need to do up tiny house communities, but our laws and government don't actually best serve and represent the common majority. It would be most lovely to have a nice home of my own on 1 acre for a vegetable garden and outdoor area for things like egg laying hens and deer hunting and more self sustainable living not fully dependent on supermarkets.
I agree 100% and was thinking the same thing. They may not be taking anything, but are certainly contributing to a quicker decay and destroy time by leaving things open like that
Yes, it's an amazing find! And you can say "amazing" as many times as you like. It's a shame so many places like this have been neglected. Such beauty wasting away. Thank you for showing us around. Maybe, when you mention the detail of an item, you could focus in and pause a moment so we can enjoy it, too. 💜
Woow this chateaue/castle is out of this world. Every time i see those huge mansions and castles i got that nostalgia feeling of past glory. The owners must have been stinking rich at one point. Fantastic chateaue /castle and beautiful furniture❤. Thanks for taking us with us on your explore.😊
No question one of the best places ever. The tower rooms, wow. The chapel is awesome stained glass windows. Everything in this castle is over the top. But as full of things as it is , it feels completely empty. The love is gone.
Just gobsmacked at the fact that everything still just sits inside this chateau like a time capsule!! like you say, someone needs to rescue it and return it to its former glory. The furniture is amazing and all those beautiful old crucifix. Thankyou for the tour of this place. Would love to see it for myself one day.
It breaks my heart to see such beautiful abandoned mansions deteriorate like that, I would love to see it in person. Thank you so very much for sharing this on TH-cam 😉
It is my dream to travel to see places like this . Thank you for taking us with you on your trips to visit with you. I am from Texas we don't have any like this . I love your voice and hope your knee is better . Thank you .
I had seen this before; the last crew things were still in place. From then there are lots of missing things. It’s so sad to see that it’s slowly being looted
The third floor looks to me as the old servants quarters. The nice big room that had a hat on the desk, bathroom and sitting room with the curved sofa, would probably have been the butler's, as butler's usually had the largest and most ekstravagant rooms of all the servants quarters. The second largest would've probably have been the housekeeper's room, as both the butler and the housekeeper had the top rank of the servant staff in the household, and ran the rest of the staff for the family they worked for. And thus was in high regards with that family. - Good seeing you wearing a mask. Old houses like that can be quite dangerous with the mold, but worst if they have had victorian wallpapers with led or arsenic in them. Some just had new led or arsenic free paints or wallpapers put on top of the highly toxic wallpapers, and when those wallpapers are exposed to moisture and mold, they become a *very* serious health hazard. On another note, shame that the house has been left to decay. Hope it can be saved. And honestly, I like that you haven't said exactly where the house is, so that it at least won't be raided and destroyed by people who might've watched this.
I’m new to your channel and Thank You so much for this Grand tour! It left me speechless and full of wonder. I can’t imagine the magic of actually being inside this place. I can totally feel your intrigue with this place and I felt the same. It’s nice to know there are others who love to feel the Mystique of the past places that tell stories .... So grateful I saw this 😊
Me also! So many very rare or unusual things in the home. But, I understand why they moved.. death of the daughter..they probably didn't care for the material things..they just wanted not to have to see the place their girl once was alive.😭
What an amazing place. I can understand how the parents couldnt bring themselves to go back...but it is an awful, awful shame to have such a majestic property just fade away. Beautiful work!
Please take care of yourself....this was amazing, beautiful. When you think of all these places have gone through....wars, 1 and 2 and everything else sad to see them left like this.
I can only imagine how the family who had once lived here loved this home . The country side is magical you are very lucky to have visited this home so beautiful ❤️
So enjoy watching your videos! Have always loved architecture & design! I love the respect you show for these properties & the people who lived in them! Thank you! Stay Safe!!
Oh wow how could the French heritage let this fall into decay... All I see is the napolionic eara and French soldiers bivouacs outside.. See past the mess and let your imagination run wild... Absolutely gorgeous... Gonna share this
A lot less incessant prattle, would have been Fantastic. It was a beautiful place, but WAY too much of the same talk, let the building speak sometimes. Silence is ok.
Danielle Danner - yes you definitely sound like an ass. You sat and watched a video that this guy went out of his way to make and then you complain about it. Why??? If it bothers you so much then don’t watch and better still, keep your negative, miserable comments to yourself.
Danielle Danner - that’s exactly the reply I’d expect from a moronic, cretinous idiot like you. If that’s the best you can do, keep your idiotic comments to yourself next time. Smh.
Hi Dave, this was Absolutely Gorgeous Mansion, but sad to hear your knee is swollen & you hurt so bad...so thank you so much for showing us this Beautiful place! Sad also to hear owners lost their beloved daughter from choking, & left all the pictures & gorgeous expensive furniture! I wish the town would either save this mansion & make it a hotel or museum, before the decay takes everything! Take care & stay safe, Love from Illinois USA😊🤩
ian pennack you are so absolutely right. It is very sad. We stay out of debit but without it our credit is crap (USA) we just simply can’t win. Our government has their hands in every single thing we do.
Breathtaking! These places are virtually museums of beauty and history! So sad to think these gorgeous places are going to be left to vandals and decay. Thank you for documenting and preserving some of these historical mansions for the rest of us.
I’m disabled also and I find these videos fascinating. I love history and exploring. I can’t get over how valuables are left. What waste, so sad. Thanks for the videos and explaining the history.
This is a very beautiful mansion and I really like the way you respect any abandoned house by just going in it to see the beauty of it! Hats off to you my friend
Your are an amazing narrator! You have a soothing, charming, warming voice, that brings the stories to life. And your music background. You are amazing! Don't stop!❤
They will never build mansions like this one nowadays, so why must it be that these irreplaceable gems' beauty be left to rot away. A system should exist that would allow people to reside in such places in exchange for continual restoration and maintenance . . . or just anything that would ensure that these marvels are not left to be devoured by history, abandoned to isolation, rotting away alone and unappreciated. I guess that the modern world has conditioned and manipulated the majority to such an extent that their perception has been perverted and their vision has been robbed of the capacity to recognize true beauty.
ThinkerOnTheBus They have that in France. You cannot destroy the façade of any old building. The family has to sell it for someone to save it. I hope they do, it literally hurts my heart when I see spaces such as this get destroyed.
ThinkerOnTheBus, they do have schemes in France for places like this. My own familly live in a place and actually get grants from the government to keep the place together. Not as big as this, but older. You have to kinda sign the place over to the state, but the family get to live there. For a place like this, you would need a plan to do it up, then utilise it in some way to make money. B&B, Self Catering, Weddings, etc.
Many thanks for a fantastic tour of this wonderful 'old' chateau and doing it while you were obviously in a LOT pain- so hope your knee is better now !! I am puzzled like everyone as to why and how this all was abandoned - and one can only wonder at the combination of grief and money that enabled this. It has the 'eerie' quality that defines these videos with 'ghosts' apparent even in the stuffed toys on the bed and the lonely children's toys. I also appreciate your attention to details which others might 'miss' and that you recommend 'respect' where others might not ' thanks again !!
I was "amazed" at all the beautiful, colorful and different wall paper in every single room! Not one the same!!! I appreciate the Respect you give your Exploration. It's just a shame that France doesn't have a National Trust like England has and the US has Historic Societies that take these old jewels and care for them. This would make a wonderful hotel or bed and breakfast place. How far from Paris is it? Thank you. Hope your knee is much better now...
People who were exploring there put them there for their photos . You can see in one room how they have taken china out of the china cabinet and put them on the table as props.
I would love to find someone who was willing to give a home like this away. I would love to acquire such a beautiful piece of history. It is a shame for it to slowly go decay! So many lovely things could be done to this home.
I always wondered what a castle looked like on the inside! Thank you so much for sacricing your knee and your pain to show us this. My heart is so heavy to know that they lost their daughter. I lost my son, my only child in 2016. You never get over the loss of a child, no matter how old they are or the circumstances surrounding their death. In some ways, as a grieving mother, I can understand their feelings of not being able to live there anymore. On the other hand, like me, I have held onto everything of my son's like it's a lifeline to him! Everyone grieves differently. As you were taking us on this beautiful tour, I could imagine children playing hide and seek in that castle. It would take forever to find someone if you were the seeker! So many places to hide in there!! My heart is broken for the family! I know their pain so well and I grieve with them! I totally agree with you... I wish people would have courtesy and respect when they go into abandoned places! Thank you so much for this beautiful tour of a castle right out of a fairytale! Please stay safe! Be well, and take care of that knee! Sending love from the USA!! ❤
This place is truly a treasure. Sad to see all the belongings just going to waste. Hopefully someone will be able to take it over and restore it to it's former beauty. Wow, just wow.
This is the best I have ever seen. Wish they would have more respect for the the antiquities that are irreplaceable. Loved it. Hope your leg gets better.
I enjoy the architecture, furniture, photos and learning about the rightful heirs. I feel uncomfortable watching them opening purses, wallets, boxes of the papers that the heirs should be privet to. It would be super if some tv show would look for the family and learn the real story.
I love your channel! But more than that, I love your enthusiasm and your love of the history of the places you visit. You have complete and utter respect for the lives and belongings of the families that once lived at these locations. You clearly have a heart of gold. I discovered your channel by accident but will now be an intentional, devoted fan! I can’t wait to watch all your videos! I hope your knee heals up quickly. Stay safe and be well! Explore on! ❤️
The repairs & cost of upkeep would put people off. The roof alone on a place that big would be anything up to £50K if it's never been touched. There's often no central heating either.
@@ladytron9188 One could see the introduction of modern pieces and work making me wonder how many generations lived there. I was quite taken aback by the card table right outside the chapel! - a rather odd occurrence, vis-a-vis the reverential placement of religious work throughout the house. The place is such a mess inside, deplorable, really, making me believe not much upkeep was made by the last residents. All I could think as he was going through was, "Repairs...repairs...repairs to be made."
When was the chateau built? Is there any way you can learn more about the history of this place. I like your videos, but would love to have more background about the places you explore.
Lisa Kaple I agree as I care about eras of design and would love more building specific commentary and back story. It is so sad for me to see so many beautiful objects allowed to ruin. Thank you to the creator of this series for bringing this to us.
Wish there was bio on this one. Title mentioned something about a daughter, what do you mean by that? Please don't leave us to determine on our own please! Finish your title at least. Thank you
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for the privilege of being able to see such a magnificent place. This home should be preserved for the history it represents. Just amazing. Thank you.
Stained glass window area kinda looked like where you would pray like a monastery amazing!!!!! So someone lived there as late as the 90’s. I love stuff like this! ♥️From biloxi Mississippi USA.
Gorgeous find. Stunning. I'm so sorry that your knee is killing you. Please rest it with ice. I appreciate all of your hard work in travel, filming, editing and making this wonderful content for all of us to enjoy. Much love and be safe.
@@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem This is a house. It doesnt matter how big or small your house is (it is called a house irrespective of the size, or if another family lives in a house above you or on either side of you or below you).
since some one corrected you with chateau i can let you know that most beautiful is correct, not most beautifulest , I do love that these things matter to you! Keep exploring please!!!! Love watching you and hearing you nattate! You make is such a pleasure to watch
I love your passion and enthusiasm. You have great respect for places like this. Thank you for showing us these amazing places and telling their stories along with the residents and families stories

Well I'm so happy I can make u happy and you like out content. I'm so sorry to hear about your disability, but stay true and be happy everyday.
I’m disabled too. Miss my legs to take me wherever I wanted. Now I have to roll. So stairs are a no go.
@@juliad368 thank you :)
I love how people in your country can see an abandoned mansion and not break out all the windows or spray paint the walls....RESPECT!
D Winslow: There is graffiti in this chateau. You can see some of it at 09:51. 😒
It’s odd how some rooms appear virtually untouched while others are completely ransacked. 😐
I agree. It’s really unbelievable that people don’t respect history and non-replaceable things of the past, not to mention leaving them in place! It really is heartbreaking when you see that idiots have destroyed things.
@@Jaspurr28 its doomed anyway. the mold took mostly over all walls, its literally falling apart. also the roof gona collapse probably in the next years. i have been to this place maybe like 5 yrs ago for my first time
Old days they'd lynch em when caught,nowadays lucky to get a good boot to ass.
My physical impairment prevents me from traveling and exploring, you guys have opened up the world! You're all so nice and respectful to the locations,wish everyone was as good as you are! Bless you xxx
Dave, I'm so sorry that you hurt your knee so badly. The explore was still so lovely as you struggled through. Thank you for your dedication but I hope that you didn't make your injury worse by continuing the explore. Stay safe and feel better my friend. Love to you and your family.
Nobody ever concentrates on the rugs. I would really like to see them close up. That green one is rare.
Me too!!! I was going through the comments to see if anyone mentions it. Sadly there were 2 very large Persians rotting away....shame.
I'm a fan of the curtains in some of these buildings! would be tempted to run away with some of them lol
That was the main thing that got my attention! Hundreds of beautiful giant persian carpets. Those are worth 5k, or even 20k usd depending on their sizes!
yes, the carpets are amazing
I always look at the floors they are so magnificent!
Dont put yourself down lad, you are doing us all a huge favour by sharing your adventures.
10 out of 10 filming . Really nice shots and music so fitting . Epic explore well done.
Loved this video, definitely one of the most beautiful and well preserved abandoned mansions I have seen. Keep up the great work.
I recognize this explore. Brothers of Decay have been here. They didn't show the outside. I'm glad you did. I love how you're just as excited as I am! Love all the old stuff. I love looking back in time.
Love you guys. ✌️♥️🇺🇸
I remember seeing this place too and thinking it was one of the most beautiful places ever explored! I can hear it in Your voice as you go through each room!

Terri Thomas some don’t show outside due to it being recognized...then the vandals start...but I love the drone shots.
Terri Thomas it's Bros of Decay but I know who you meant & yes I saw their video too.
I didn't see Bros of Decay do this one. Can anyone tell me the title or a word in the title of that video so we can search their channel for it?
Also recognized it from Brothers of Decay. It sure is nice to see moore, here!
Wow, This was a very beautiful and special place..So sad to see it go to waste. There is a lot of priceless antiques..this needs to be saved.

so this one actually affected me emotionally... especially when you walked into the library... what a mind boggling experience that must be to see a place like that. Thank you Dave, for sharing these places with us before they are gone forever... Your channel is growing quickly and I hope that you continue to bring us these magical places. Your genuine love of these places really shows in your videos. That is why everyone loves you :)
Yes, I got slightly teary in that library scene too......and all goosebumpy. So special....so magical.
This is honestly my favorite of all of the abandoned house tours I've ever seen. 💗
Thank you for pushing through your pain to share this amazing home. It was breathtaking. I hope your knee is healed now.
It makes me want to spend days tidying up where possible just to make it look better - it’s stunning! I can imagine it without the mess and mouldy walls just fabulous. What a find. I do not understand why these places get left it makes no sense. Let’s all pool our resources and buy it 😍 🌹
Yeass. Every time I watch videos like this I'm cleaning & fixing them up in my head lol Like just give me a few hrs alone with it lol
@@Jennifer.Ridgeway Me too. I keep fantasying about getting an old house on land to fix up doing homesteading moving outside the city, but one needs a serious chunk of money and adequate income to make it actually happen before one gets too old. I wouldn't touch anything until I had the deed or knew for sure I could pay the mortgage loan off. A regular job isn't enough in this day and age to successfully acquire home ownership.
The mold removal alone would be so expensive it wouldn't be feasible. That's not something you want to mess with. My cousin lived in an apartment that had black mold in it and she spent over two years trying to correct the effects from the black mold on her body. Some things she will deal with for the rest of her life. At one point if her numbers didn't improve she was going to have to start a chemo type therapy. Luckily she did not have to.
I'm in for sure!
@@Jennifer.Ridgeway I live in Niagara falls, Ontario Canada and my home was built in 1907. I had to redo the whole house but luckily the basement was dry and there was no mol. My home is only 1600 sq.ft and without decor or anything fancy it cost me Aprox. 60,000. That's new wiring new plumbing new drywall in certain areas (about 2 1/2 rooms and attic insulation. With just those important thing done it didn't include new roof new kitchen cabinets new sump pump new windows. Anyway you get the picture. $$$$
When you opened the door with all the sewing machines, I fell in love! All the old machines reminded me of my grandma when she use to sew on one like those. It is such a shame to let such treasures just sit there and decay. Then on the other hand we would miss all of the joy of discovering all of these treasures from long ago and maybe a little of the history of those times. Thank you so much for sharing these places with us. You are making it possible for those of us who can't travel or do a lot of walking an opportunity to see the wonderful and interesting places from around the world. Safe travels!
All those sewing machines were made literally 5 mins drive from me here in Clydebank, Scotland. Such a shame the amount of jobs went when the factory closed.
Yes.. did you notice how clean everything is? I have a treadle machine in my family room and it has more dust on it that all five of those combined did. Just from sitting. The fact that all this stuff has sat undisturbed there isn't much dust. I wonder if it was a school or business? Please close the doors. Turn off the lights (just kidding).
Saw this mansion a few weeks ago, filmed by some one else but its so sad to see the vandalism as there was nothing out of place then and now items just thrown about. It is a beautiful place and should be respected.
Yes I just saw it also by Bros of Decay you tuber and his video looked like nothing was touched! Everything so nice n beat and now it looks like it’s been ransacked so sad
@@KimberlyCachanilla because people video them and then others want to go. And not all the others are respectful
I live in the United States in Springfield Illinois. I don't see things like this very often It seems like a fairy tale!! Wow, I'm almost speechless sooo Beautiful!!!!
Cindy Nelson that’s cool I live next to Carbondale Illinois so we’re about 3 hours apart 😊 I love watching these videos amazing wood work ect
Hey neighbor! I'm from Missouri 2hrs west of StLouis!. I wonder how many couches are in that place? Gorgeous! The French know gorgeous!! Would love a longer, slower video of that wonderful place!
This mansion is absolutely Beautiful. Thankyou for taking us thru this majestic place!!!
I have learned to look around and remember all those around me, at 62 yrs today have learned to look at remember that we all started as a blessing in someones eye❤
This is a beautiful chateau, but it is a shame that it has been trashed. Some just don't show respect to others property. I appreciate the way you handle your exploration.
Oh my gosh I've seen some that are so much worse.
This place is breaking my heart!!!! SOMEONE HAS TO SAVE IT!!!
What story?
I agree the government an town should be ashamed of themselves for letting their treasures go to ruin.
why blame a government for a private persons choices? grow up
If the owner is still alive, then the government has no reason to get involved. But it's true that in France, we have a lot of historical buildings that are falling apart due to a lack of money.
I can vividly imagine a girl walking the woods behind that mansion. Sitting by that overgrown statue, 2:40 running her hand through the water, looking up at the trees in summer. It's like a movie set.
This place needs to be kept as-is and turned into a museum for people to see.. This is rare to see a place this unique and complete. Clear the mold out and let people tour it...
As a little girl, I would dream of living in a castle Just like that. Thank you. I would have never been able to see the castle from my dreams if you had not explored there. I am from America and will not have the opportunity to go abroad. So thank you again for what you do.
@Isis Montgomery no it's not. Not when you don't have money and there's no ability for people to move about.
America is a continent, in which country are you?
Das Böse
We know it’s a continent, but many USA citizens refer to our country as America. Just as Canadians call theirs Canada and Mexicans - Mexico. But you know that.
Pamela Terrill maybe is it’s not a dream , maybe it was a life past memory... especially if you say this dream happened when you were a child ... there is so much about us that we don’t know ... so you never know... maybe you used to live in a beautiful castle
@@dasbose4962 The United States of America. Which I'm sure you probably figured but want to be one of those people who are so unhappy with life that no one can say anything without a 15 minute debate on any mistakes people may have made. So to you have a nice day. Maybe get some chocolate a good book and box of tissues, to make your obvious perfect life even better. If you didn't understand all my sarcasm. Get a life.
AWE... Breath taking..My favourite so far. Can't believe this building and all those beautiful things are just left, it's heart breaking. IThese are the explores I love the most, Chateau's, European mansions and castles.
I could happily live in this Chateau.. Great video.
Tina Nova me too...
I love those dishes...china and other nice stuff furnitures ...you are right absolutely gorgeous
they even have their own chapel...
@@joytobias-christo9490 It would be so special to have your own beautiful chapel. This was a really wealthy Christian which is extremely rare today for Luciferiansim hailing Lucifer as the light bearer of the world is far more popular today among the financial elite in the global exclusive club thing where they're a cabal of world citizens. Lucifer, the Eastern Star is though to have been Venus which is the eastern star, but could be thought of as their big money, high power global finance, and high technologies with them seeking immortality instead of accepting Jesus as lord and savior king of kings. Most of the really wealthy today are, 'living gods,' hailing Lucifer as their higher power. This is why we have evil or the anti-Christ rising today all around this world making horrible things like ISIS, Notre Dame burning down, and risk of WW3 actually happening on our watch.
Ahh, the SEWING machines in the (one) of library rooms, the design of the individual bed rooms & multiple sitting rooms, the intact stained glass pieces, utility of design in the furniture ...! The decay appears reversible if the restoration started soon. The builder(s) were inspired, so much light still makes it way into the usable areas. Nothing I saw carried a gloomy aura; you were quite delighted even through your obvious pain. Thank you.
Love love love this. I wish France would claim it and make it into a hotel or museum. They don’t know the jewel they have.
It's so expensive to take care of and run a business there, we already have so mansion turned into Bed and Breakfast... But so much mansions and chateaux in France.. Hard to keep everything running sadly
We are amazed at how many homes are just left with belongings in them
You are so right! It IS the most beautiful home so far! Love the feeling of every room-it's perfect! You can tell there was a lot of life in that home once and lots of love. Many interests. Did you show the smaller bldgs around the courtyard? Elevate that knee! Ice it. Cortisone shots and maybe an elastic wrap. My knees started that last year and popping out of place. Xrays showed no cartilage left so surgery recommended. I use velcro knee pads for garden work lol. A walker temporarily takes the weight off, pain med, cortisone shot. Quick tips, temporary relief until surgery maybe. I know the pain you're in it's awful! Wear a wrap when you do lots of walking and steps until a more permanent solution is decided. Hugs!
All I need is several hundred bottles of old English polish, an a good vacuum cleaner. Let me at it!
If it wasn't so far away, I would be there tomorrow with a duster. I would't change a thing just clean and tidy up
Me too! I wanted to collect all those loose playing cards. It didn't fit the place. It is so odd that some bedrooms looked just like they could be slept in. The last one with the fluffy white pillows and white spread? It looks really well taken care of. No dust?
And ten years later ----
Pat Shelton I’ll give you a hand 👌😊
can I help? I love renovating and this actually would not take that many work since the walls and floors looks fine, it just need some tydying and desinfection :-)
Built in a bygone era of true craftsmanship. Something that doesn’t exist in our factory made world of today.
Agree with you Victoria.People are not willing to pay the price of real craftmanship, i like the quality & the art of making furniture over the ugly stuff from Ikea.Would love to restore an old building to its former glory.
Completely love the blue couches sporadically in the castle and the floral printed head and footboard in the bedroom with the writers desk and floral curtains. Soooo gorgeous!
I am simply blown away!
How I wished for the capability to jump through my screen to join you in person! It would have taken me days, as I would be oohing and aahing over every single thing. What character and beauty still remains of this sadly abandoned home. What a tragedy.
I figure the top floor must have been the servant's quarters, with the head housekeeper laying claim to the nice suite at the end of the hall. I wish I could go back in time to see the chateau in it's busy, glory days. So much history. Your video deserves to go viral, but I am half afraid that it will, and that the wrong people will discover the location!
I hope your knee is better. Thanks for taking this one for the Team.
I must watch this again, once I've subbed and shared! Cheers from Nova Scotia!
This was amazing the best yet.
I would like to say a big thank you, you have made such a difference to my life. Being disabled and in lockdown just sucks. Watching your videos, I am able to explore and enjoy the great outdoors again. X
This is my favorite so far! You are right to keep saying this place is gorgeous! It is! Hands down...my favorite!
That thing that looks like a small elevator shaft, that’s called a dumbwaiter. It’s used for bringing food up from the kitchen to the upper floors during the cold months
I think it's a laundry waiter.
Yes, that shaft with a pulley is a dumb waiter.Smaller ones were used for food/dishes, the larger ones were used for both laundry & wood for the fireplaces. The 3rd floor rooms look like maid & butler’s quarters, up the back stairs. Seeing this gorgeous place wasting away is a complete sin. The cost of fuel alone to heat that place must’ve been astronomical! The family should sell that property & let someone save it. Haunted locations are even higher in demand.
The dumbwaiter was also used for times of illness, for the infirmed and for just plain lazy times. Mine would be broken.
😂😂😂
@@faithhopelove4314 it goes to the kitchen as well. It was used for various duties.
DRUGSTOREMAKEUPDIVA absolutely! My son would be riding that thing up & down soon as he could walk too. I keep making my hub & 15 yo carry all the laundry down the steps, bc I want a laundry shoot so bad! I can’t lift over 10 lbs, so I’m hoping they get so sick of being pack mules, they’ll put one in for me. I’m not holding my breath😉
Thank you for taking the time to walk through and share.
What an exquisite castle! It's so tasteful compared to many others that are overdone and too ornate. Even their sense of color is perfection. There is so much I could say about that place. It deserves to be repaired and loved again. Imagine how many beautiful apartments could be made in there? Or as you folks say, Flats. Thank you for showing us this gem despite the pain you were in. Take care of that knee so you don't damage it permanently. You and my son are the same age, still young, but at the age when healing slows down some. So take care, cuz I want to see a lot more of Europe and these unique places!
Oh wow! If I had the money I would gladly move in just for the library alone. Such a cozy little spot to sit and drink tea with a fire going. Imagine it during the Christmas holidays. Nice!
@Bink Right. One is fortunately just to have a studio apartment these days while tons of people camping out in the freezing cold. I live in a fairly large American city, but I suspect European cities are much like my own today with increasingly poverty, housing insecurity, and widening wealth gap. We think we need to do up tiny house communities, but our laws and government don't actually best serve and represent the common majority. It would be most lovely to have a nice home of my own on 1 acre for a vegetable garden and outdoor area for things like egg laying hens and deer hunting and more self sustainable living not fully dependent on supermarkets.
@Bink Hello home grown tomatoes...
I wish explorers would shut cabinet doors and drawers after they go through them...
I agree 100% and was thinking the same thing. They may not be taking anything, but are certainly contributing to a quicker decay and destroy time by leaving things open like that
Some of them might not be xplorers. Beautiful mansion always wanna know why they left everything behind.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I just don't understand how folks can leave their home. I hope this gets saved. It would be a shame to lose it.
This is definitively the most amazing abandon place I've ever seen on any of these TH-cam videos
The furniture the beautiful rugs the wall paper and yes could go on. Soo gorgeous ❤️. I hate the fact that these houses ( homes ) are just left to rot
Yes, it's an amazing find! And you can say "amazing" as many times as you like. It's a shame so many places like this have been neglected. Such beauty wasting away. Thank you for showing us around. Maybe, when you mention the detail of an item, you could focus in and pause a moment so we can enjoy it, too. 💜
Can't believe the furniture is still all set up how it originally was. This is amazing.
Woow this chateaue/castle is out of this world. Every time i see those huge mansions and castles i got that nostalgia feeling of past glory. The owners must have been stinking rich at one point. Fantastic chateaue /castle and beautiful furniture❤. Thanks for taking us with us on your explore.😊
No question one of the best places ever. The tower rooms, wow. The chapel is awesome stained glass windows. Everything in this castle is over the top.
But as full of things as it is , it feels completely empty. The love is gone.
If walls could talk what a story they’d tell ✨ Thanks for posting. This is incredible !
If the walls could talk they would tell them to leave.
I love his enthusiasm and the love and respect he has for the villa and all the items. Very good video
Just gobsmacked at the fact that everything still just sits inside this chateau like a time capsule!! like you say, someone needs to rescue it and return it to its former glory. The furniture is amazing and all those beautiful old crucifix. Thankyou for the tour of this place. Would love to see it for myself one day.
I love how you get excited while exploring . Feels my heart with joy.
It breaks my heart to see such beautiful abandoned mansions deteriorate like that, I would love to see it in person. Thank you so very much for sharing this on TH-cam 😉
It is my dream to travel to see places like this . Thank you for taking us with you on your trips to visit with you. I am from Texas we don't have any like this . I love your voice and hope your knee is better . Thank you .
This mansion is the best so far ! The kitchen and the prep room were fantastic !
When you opened that door and I saw the sewing machines and the library... 😲😲😲😲😲😍😭😍😭😍 SO BEAUTIFUL!
I had seen this before; the last crew things were still in place. From then there are lots of missing things. It’s so sad to see that it’s slowly being looted
That is so sad to hear upsets me
I would love to see the first video, can you post a link?
Would you be so kind as to share where the other previous videos are? I am so curious! Thanks!
I hope someone sees this and just has to restore this mansion. Loved, loved , loved this house. So sad of the story. thank you for sharing .…….. Suzi
Clearing out a house like that is a huge, heavy task that can stir up some baaaad juju. Believe me!
The third floor looks to me as the old servants quarters. The nice big room that had a hat on the desk, bathroom and sitting room with the curved sofa, would probably have been the butler's, as butler's usually had the largest and most ekstravagant rooms of all the servants quarters. The second largest would've probably have been the housekeeper's room, as both the butler and the housekeeper had the top rank of the servant staff in the household, and ran the rest of the staff for the family they worked for. And thus was in high regards with that family.
- Good seeing you wearing a mask. Old houses like that can be quite dangerous with the mold, but worst if they have had victorian wallpapers with led or arsenic in them. Some just had new led or arsenic free paints or wallpapers put on top of the highly toxic wallpapers, and when those wallpapers are exposed to moisture and mold, they become a *very* serious health hazard.
On another note, shame that the house has been left to decay. Hope it can be saved. And honestly, I like that you haven't said exactly where the house is, so that it at least won't be raided and destroyed by people who might've watched this.
All that original carved wooden furniture alone is worth a fortune.
I’m new to your channel and Thank You so much for this Grand tour! It left me speechless and full of wonder. I can’t imagine the magic of actually being inside this place. I can totally feel your intrigue with this place and I felt the same. It’s nice to know there are others who love to feel the Mystique of the past places that tell stories .... So grateful I saw this 😊
You would never find this in the usa an when its abandon they spray paint everything. Thank you so much for showing this
The sewing machines and the linen, Lordy me. I almost cry knowing it is just rotting away.
I am a textile artist, upholster, and costume designer. I felt very saddened by this sight.
Same. All of it, I was teary eyed at the decay and vandalism.
Me also! So many very rare or unusual things in the home. But, I understand why they moved.. death of the daughter..they probably didn't care for the material things..they just wanted not to have to see the place their girl once was alive.😭
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF YOUR BEST 'FINDS'!!!!
part of the time i was just like “YOU GO BACK AND SHOW US THE BATHROOMS”
That's exactly what I was thinking - I want to see the bathrooms.
I kind of just wanted him to sit down for a bit. I'm concerned that he might have really fucked up his knee doing all those stairs.
LOL me toooo
@@sarahcoleman5269 I almost felt his pain
What an amazing place. I can understand how the parents couldnt bring themselves to go back...but it is an awful, awful shame to have such a majestic property just fade away. Beautiful work!
This place is amazing, the furniture, all the detail on woodwork, WOW, take care of that knee
Please take care of yourself....this was amazing, beautiful. When you think of all these places have gone through....wars, 1 and 2 and everything else sad to see them left like this.
I can only imagine how the family who had once lived here loved this home . The country side is magical you are very lucky to have visited this home so beautiful ❤️
So enjoy watching your videos! Have always loved architecture & design! I love the respect you show for these properties & the people who lived in them! Thank you! Stay Safe!!
Oh wow how could the French heritage let this fall into decay... All I see is the napolionic eara and French soldiers bivouacs outside.. See past the mess and let your imagination run wild... Absolutely gorgeous... Gonna share this
Would love to see this again but with commentary that reflects some knowledge of history and antiques
A lager lout who doesn't recognize anything in there but a Furby doesn't satisfy you? LOL.
Jo Hanrahan - what a miserable attitude. You wouldn’t have seen any of it at all if it weren’t for him.
No pleasing some people is there? Smh.
A lot less incessant prattle, would have been Fantastic. It was a beautiful place, but WAY too much of the same talk, let the building speak sometimes. Silence is ok.
Danielle Danner - yes you definitely sound like an ass. You sat and watched a video that this guy went out of his way to make and then you complain about it. Why??? If it bothers you so much then don’t watch and better still, keep your negative, miserable comments to yourself.
Danielle Danner - that’s exactly the reply I’d expect from a moronic, cretinous idiot like you. If that’s the best you can do, keep your idiotic comments to yourself next time. Smh.
Hi Dave, this was Absolutely Gorgeous Mansion, but sad to hear your knee is swollen & you hurt so bad...so thank you so much for showing us this Beautiful place! Sad also to hear owners lost their beloved daughter from choking, & left all the pictures & gorgeous expensive furniture! I wish the town would either save this mansion & make it a hotel or museum, before the decay takes everything! Take care & stay safe, Love from Illinois USA😊🤩
got me so interested in the back story, this house is stunning and even more so now that its left in time untouched
I would love to see this restored. It is simply amazing!
Wouldn't we all, but today no country controls its own financial situation. There is no money for anything other than the creation of debt.
ian pennack you are so absolutely right. It is very sad. We stay out of debit but without it our credit is crap (USA) we just simply can’t win. Our government has their hands in every single thing we do.
Breathtaking! These places are virtually museums of beauty and history! So sad to think these gorgeous places are going to be left to vandals and decay. Thank you for documenting and preserving some of these historical mansions for the rest of us.
This was the most beautiful home that you have been through!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Hope your leg gets better soon!!!
You talk as much as you want, get excited as much as you want and say, "Amazing!" as many times as you want. I love your vids. Keep it up!
Oh amazing thank u xx
@@AWE83 why did the family leave? Who was the family that lived here?
I’m disabled also and I find these videos fascinating. I love history and exploring. I can’t get over how valuables are left. What waste, so sad. Thanks for the videos and explaining the history.
This is a very beautiful mansion and I really like the way you respect any abandoned house by just going in it to see the beauty of it! Hats off to you my friend
Your are an amazing narrator! You have a soothing, charming, warming voice, that brings the stories to life. And your music background. You are amazing!
Don't stop!❤
They will never build mansions like this one nowadays, so why must it be that these irreplaceable gems' beauty be left to rot away. A system should exist that would allow people to reside in such places in exchange for continual restoration and maintenance . . . or just anything that would ensure that these marvels are not left to be devoured by history, abandoned to isolation, rotting away alone and unappreciated. I guess that the modern world has conditioned and manipulated the majority to such an extent that their perception has been perverted and their vision has been robbed of the capacity to recognize true beauty.
ThinkerOnTheBus They have that in France. You cannot destroy the façade of any old building. The family has to sell it for someone to save it. I hope they do, it literally hurts my heart when I see spaces such as this get destroyed.
Intelligent idea..
You're right, ThinkerOnTheBus.. I enjoyed your comment. Are you a writer? It is very nice. Take care and God bless.
You're all right. They say it's too expensive to heat these huge Chateaux's.. I would love to have one.
ThinkerOnTheBus, they do have schemes in France for places like this. My own familly live in a place and actually get grants from the government to keep the place together. Not as big as this, but older. You have to kinda sign the place over to the state, but the family get to live there. For a place like this, you would need a plan to do it up, then utilise it in some way to make money. B&B, Self Catering, Weddings, etc.
Many thanks for a fantastic tour of this wonderful 'old' chateau and doing it while you were obviously in a LOT pain- so hope your knee is better now !! I am puzzled like everyone as to why and how this all was abandoned - and one can only wonder at the combination of grief and money that enabled this. It has the 'eerie' quality that defines these videos with 'ghosts' apparent even in the stuffed toys on the bed and the lonely children's toys. I also appreciate your attention to details which others might 'miss' and that you recommend 'respect' where others might not ' thanks again !!
I was "amazed" at all the beautiful, colorful and different wall paper in every single room! Not one the same!!! I appreciate the Respect you give your Exploration. It's just a shame that France doesn't have a National Trust like England has and the US has Historic Societies that take these old jewels and care for them. This would make a wonderful hotel or bed and breakfast place. How far from Paris is it? Thank you. Hope your knee is much better now...
Loved it! Well done with the stairs, I could feel your pain through the screen. Thanks for another awesome video!
Thank you for how you respect places like these. We have nothing to compare. Am so sorry for the family that felt the pain so much they had to leave.
Anyone else find it odd that there were meat cleavers and saws just laying around in several of the rooms?
People who were exploring there put them there for their photos . You can see in one room how they have taken china out of the china cabinet and put them on the table as props.
I thought the same!
Ya think??
I noticed flowers in vases that weren't dead. Artificial or props?
marion campbell I think artificial.
I would love to find someone who was willing to give a home like this away. I would love to acquire such a beautiful piece of history. It is a shame for it to slowly go decay! So many lovely things could be done to this home.
I always wondered what a castle looked like on the inside! Thank you so much for sacricing your knee and your pain to show us this. My heart is so heavy to know that they lost their daughter. I lost my son, my only child in 2016. You never get over the loss of a child, no matter how old they are or the circumstances surrounding their death. In some ways, as a grieving mother, I can understand their feelings of not being able to live there anymore. On the other hand, like me, I have held onto everything of my son's like it's a lifeline to him! Everyone grieves differently. As you were taking us on this beautiful tour, I could imagine children playing hide and seek in that castle. It would take forever to find someone if you were the seeker! So many places to hide in there!! My heart is broken for the family! I know their pain so well and I grieve with them! I totally agree with you... I wish people would have courtesy and respect when they go into abandoned places! Thank you so much for this beautiful tour of a castle right out of a fairytale! Please stay safe! Be well, and take care of that knee! Sending love from the USA!! ❤
This place is truly a treasure. Sad to see all the belongings just going to waste. Hopefully someone will be able to take it over and restore it to it's former beauty. Wow, just wow.
This is the best I have ever seen. Wish they would have more respect for the the antiquities that are irreplaceable. Loved it. Hope your leg gets better.
I enjoy the architecture, furniture, photos and learning about the rightful heirs. I feel uncomfortable watching them opening purses, wallets, boxes of the papers that the heirs should be privet to. It would be super if some tv show would look for the family and learn the real story.
I love your channel! But more than that, I love your enthusiasm and your love of the history of the places you visit. You have complete and utter respect for the lives and belongings of the families that once lived at these locations. You clearly have a heart of gold. I discovered your channel by accident but will now be an intentional, devoted fan! I can’t wait to watch all your videos! I hope your knee heals up quickly. Stay safe and be well! Explore on! ❤️
How a place like this could be left to rot is beyond me.
I would happily give my left arm to live here 😒
Dave same! It really is “amazing”! And there’s a sadness, as well...
The repairs & cost of upkeep would put people off. The roof alone on a place that big would be anything up to £50K if it's never been touched. There's often no central heating either.
Not mad money if France.
The upkeep on a place like this would be astronomical.It would cost millions of£s to renovate it.
@@ladytron9188 One could see the introduction of modern pieces and work making me wonder how many generations lived there. I was quite taken aback by the card table right outside the chapel! - a rather odd occurrence, vis-a-vis the reverential placement of religious work throughout the house. The place is such a mess inside, deplorable, really, making me believe not much upkeep was made by the last residents. All I could think as he was going through was, "Repairs...repairs...repairs to be made."
When was the chateau built? Is there any way you can learn more about the history of this place. I like your videos, but would love to have more background about the places you explore.
Lisa Kaple I agree as I care about eras of design and would love more building specific commentary and back story. It is so sad for me to see so many beautiful objects allowed to ruin. Thank you to the creator of this series for bringing this to us.
@@arribaficationwineho32 Nothing lasts forever.
Wish there was bio on this one. Title mentioned something about a daughter, what do you mean by that? Please don't leave us to determine on our own please! Finish your title at least. Thank you
Yes more history on these properties would be so interesting
Where is this place located in France?
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for the privilege of being able to see such a magnificent place. This home should be preserved for the history it represents. Just amazing. Thank you.
Stained glass window area kinda looked like where you would pray like a monastery amazing!!!!! So someone lived there as late as the 90’s. I love stuff like this! ♥️From biloxi Mississippi USA.
Hi, I wonder how did you know the story behind this decaying beautiful Castle?
Gorgeous find. Stunning. I'm so sorry that your knee is killing you. Please rest it with ice. I appreciate all of your hard work in travel, filming, editing and making this wonderful content for all of us to enjoy. Much love and be safe.
This is a castle. Can you imagine having a chapel in your house 😶
"Time for church!"
*walks 5 steps to the left into own personal chapel*
a castle is a mansion that royalty live in/own. this would be a manse, country house, estate, etc.
@@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem
This is a house.
It doesnt matter how big or small your house is (it is called a house irrespective of the size, or if another family lives in a house above you or on either side of you or below you).
I love your adventures. I really like how you talk about the history of the place!!! Keep traveling and filming.!
since some one corrected you with chateau i can let you know that most beautiful is correct, not most beautifulest , I do love that these things matter to you! Keep exploring please!!!! Love watching you and hearing you nattate! You make is such a pleasure to watch
I love your passion and enthusiasm. You have great respect for places like this. Thank you for showing us these amazing places and telling their stories along with the residents and families stories
