Hidden in a Belgian forest, we accidentally discovered a wonderful home which has been forgotten ever since it was left abandoned since 70 years already. This was a rather uncommon and rare find, nature being the only force which has been touching this house in the past decades. Decaying in time, all the belongings of the past occupants where still vacated on their original place. Family Devaux must have spend memorable times inside their home, while the man Joseph was a professor with a big passion for biology and science.

You're such a beautiful boy; I love how you respect these people's belongings even if they... died a long time ago. I enjoy your videos very much because you are so respectful. I'm glad to see you wearing a mask and gloves and being careful where you walk too 😊 Keep making your beautiful videos.
Breaks my heart that the pictures are just left to rot. Never to be seen again. Gone forever 😢
@@ichibonfriend2923 The pictures are the things that are the most sad, wasn't there family members, cousins, who would want those photos. So sad to see them disappear.
It’s amazing how you can go to Belgium and just come across something like this. In the US, the house would be ransacked, stripped for copper and completely trashed as soon as it was discovered abandoned.
Hi Kathrine, It is such a shame that some people are being so disrespectful to a property, only to gain or make profit of it for themselves. Belgium is, like you say, an amazing country to find places like this. Still, it is most definitely not easy to find them. So we were very surprised to find this house in such an untouched state. At least, only nature had touched it at some places ;-)
Anyway, thank you very much for watching and till next time! :D best, Maureno & Remon
How do you guys find most of your places?
I agree. The vandalism is almost non. USA would have trashed. The house is huge! Yep it looks like 70's stuff. Beautiful furniture. I saw purses, and wonder what is in them. It does make you wonder. What happened to the people who lived there? Glad you are wearing protective mask and gloves due to all the mold! Thanks for the video..
@@Explomo Yea but at least some of those treasures would have ended up in a collection or museum instead of turning to dust. A 300 year old chair inst exactly easy to find. sadly the place is to bad of shape to safely remove the antiques for safekeeping. there is a local guy of my area who sometimes buys old buildings that sat empty for ages. And if it were not for those actions the legacy and history would have vanished. Esp considering just in this video I saw enough treasures to cover whatever exorbitant price the landowner would ask. It is a thing to find and buy these old places, and make so much off the antiques that 80% of them are simply donated to local museums. However given the condition of that house Im not sure if it is even possible. That Mini is surrounded by collapsing walls, no way it's getting out intact
It is ransacked, that is why everything is on the floor. Most of these guys, before the video they already visited these homes, mansions. Also, they are scavengers. If you notice purses, boxes, drawers open, and checked.I don't blame them if they don't take it other scavengers have taken, I wish they are such the story of the house. Especially this one was a professor should't' be hard fine out..O like to know if they had a child.
This can not be 70 years too many things in house that are too modern too new to be that long ago but cool video thank you for putting it out...
I think the same thing.The tv and the childrens books so people have been in that house at least 30 years ago if not less
@@debbieharkins9402 looks like late 70s or early 80s last contact...
The coin he picked up had a date of 1989
I agree with you . Too modern
I think the house was abandon in the 1970's there are to many things in it that are modern. I'm 72 and I have had these items in the late 1970's through even 1980's. Its very possible the house itself is super old. Lots of bubble wrap used to insulate the windows. It must have been a very cold place. But great job guys and sure happy to see you wearing masks and gloves
Jo Harmon yeah the washmachine and pocahontas thing.. it is not from the 50's. The last people who lived there were in the beginning of 90's
The Disney Pocahontas book came out in 1995. However, the state of decay of the house would signal that no one was actually keeping the house up. Perhaps the family or someone else stayed there for a short while after the original couple died among all the remnants of Mr. Joseph's life.
The plastic bottle of soap had a barcode on it.
The TV was Color TV from the late 70s to the early 80s.
@@petertaylor5901 I seen that too.
Part of that house must have been used in years more recent than 70 years ago. The stuff in the frig, the area where the medicines were kept, all look more modern. There was a calendar on the wall in that room. Would have been great to look for a date. Lots of decay, that's for sure. Interesting. Thank you.
I'm not sure it the house has been abandoned 70 years the first photo of the Male owner looked too modern and the washing machine didn't look like a 70 year old one but saying that I still loved the video you always do great videos thank you
I was thinking the same thing there’s too many items that were left 10 or 20 years ago certainly not 70.
Perhaps you meant the original family left 70 years ago.
@@ruthmeme3866 The plastic containers seem to suggest more modern inhabitants. The washing machine was early 00's and the Dell computer monitor was ca. 2005.
Also u can see a bottle of water,Nivea,and modern soap.
I'm agreeing with EVERYONE! I was gonna say the SAME THING!
Hello, when you stopp the video in 14:35, you can see on the fifth book from the left the year 2009 (on the book) It cant be 70 or more years old. It could be 10 years abandoned.
You should tell the city about the chair from the 1790’s, maybe take it out and give it to the city. It can go into a museum instead of rotting!
OMG I have my eyes on that chair too. So precious!
I believe the estate 0:22 is from the early 1800's even though the furnishings are a mix of Victorian and as late as the 1970's..4:43 the great grandson of the elderly woman found in the passport. The passport 3:55 could have been his great grandmother who was born in 1839 and the great grandson lived in the home. 5:22 a cabinet card of the elderly woman when she was younger taken around 1860. 5:28 a photo of her grandson taken around 1920. The cabinet cards found in the drawer are from around 1840-1880 and are more than likely family members. Notice the dress with the puffy sleeves 6:25 indicative of 1880. Obviously, the owner cherished the photos even though the album was destroyed.
There are many things from 90's and newer.
Also 25:31 see that calendar with year 2012.
Damaged roof = water+humidity can destroy the house in 10 years like this.
It breaks my heart to see that beautiful furniture rot away with the house 😞. Thank you for documenting it for us to see 🤗
It's our deepest pleasure Beth! Glad you liked it and hope to see you soon again :D
It is sad to see the deterioration of the things that these people surely loved and cared for. I just hope their lives have been happy.
14:32 the third documnet holder from the right says 21/05/2008 so definitely not 70 years.
So impressive how you described the systemic circulation and in English! So smart!
Hi there Ann, thank you very much and glad you've enjoyed this part :D
Hi both it’s Ann,just watched this explorer,what a lot of things left ,it’s very bad decay but some things wasn’t out then I’m 65 an poker hontes wasn’t out this is a new toy .its nice to see just decay an it not being trashed .it must of been a stunning home when it was lived in .much love Ann uk xxx
How sad it is the fact that such beautiful house was just left to rot. All the history , family photos, and gone to a waste.
I love your videos, but if you would have looked at some of those binders, you would have got a better date on this house. There is no way it's been abandoned 70 years. You missed a couple of calenders as well. There were too many items that were way to modern, especially the washing machine, which was newer than the fridge. Upstairs in the room you loved and as you were looking at papers that were of a war, there was one of the big desk calenders and the year was 1993. Like I said, I love your finds, but you guys just crack me up because most of the time your timeline is totally wrong.
One calendar was 2012
The Pocahontas book from Disney was 1995 released
It's amazing the things that are left behind and forgotten. So sad but beautiful . thanks for a wonderful video
Love that a lot of the antique furniture had marble tops. And that they placed marble slabs over the radiators.
A man of many talents. Such a shame that everything was left to decay. Very sad. Ty for all of the explores you take us on.
You guys just rock at exploration! How sad that this house was left with so much stuff in it, and sadder yet they died and nobody went to the house to even remove the food items, or personal belongings. So much beauty in this house and the owners obviously had much passion...how sad no laws are in affect regarding abandoned buildings. Anyway, keep on filming your explorations, you guys are so talented at filming and finding interesting place. I pray for your safety. ;)
If you check the exp. dates on those sauces etc., in the kitchen you'll get a more accurate timeline of the last time this place was lived in. Great video guys. Thx
I agree with what everyone is saying about the house not being abandoned 70 yrs. ago but rather in the 1970's. But still enjoying the video very much.
Such amazing furniture with all that detail in it. Great video of the old house and such respect for the old owners. Thanks.😘
I wish somebody could rescue some of the old photographs.
Hi guy's..this house was incredible..the furniture was beautiful.. especially all the cabinets..and the pictures..I can't believe it.. another great place..😊
Hi there Stacy, thank you so very much! Glad you liked this place again, hopefully we can make you speechless again with our upcoming places in the future :-)
THIS is why everyone should clear out what they have and donate it to a good cause before they die so others can enjoy these belongings, it doesn't make any sense to allow these items to be left to just rot and decay. The chair (1793) at 17:19 should be saved if nothing else can be saved this chair should be saved. Donate it to your local museum, but it doesn't deserve to be left to rot, it is a part of Belgium history.
AMAZING!! I love the many personal pictures. Bravo Maurice for bringing the pictures close and pausing so we have time to pause to savor every face!! YOU and your partner are the BEST! Love you wonderful explorers!! 😘💕💕👍👍😊⚘⚘
wood on wheels is a massage, you can roll over your body..hahahaha
A whole lot of stuff from scientology there: all of the books about the dianetics... The house has been left abandoned in the beginning of the 2000, or some squatters left a whole lot of food in there. Most of the brands are even newer.
70 years ago would be 1950 but I don’t think this house is from 1950, the appliances and decor make it look more like the late 60’s like those plastic beads in the doorway and the colors of the one room bright orange and purple. The picture of Mr. Robeau looks like it’s from the late 80’s and you passed by a modern television which was probably from the 80’s I think this house is covered with so much mold and decay because it is open to the elements, even the scrabble game was newer than the 50’s so I would say this house was deserted in the 80’s sometime it’s probably deserted 40 years at the top. But you guys did a great job and are looking great I’m glad you’re wearing the masks and gloves.definately that poster of the universe is not 70 years old and in one picture the girl is wearing a Garfield sweatshirt definitely not 70 years ago.
The Belgian Franc was dated 1999. The Disney Pocahontas (book was pictured) was also the 1990's. Modern handbags and plastic detergent/soap bottles in the kitchen and bathroom. Definitely not abandoned 70 years ago.
You are a very articulate, intelligent young man. I enjoy your explorations. Thank you.
I bet there were a few generations that lived in this house, over time.
I think you make a good point Kathy! :-)
Wow, love the old Mini! I remember before the mini made a comeback people were saying how cheap they were on gas and that if they could get one that they would save a lot of money going on trips. It came and everyone was excited and many were angry because they had all the bells and whistles and not as cheap on gas as the original. There was so much beautiful furniture in that old place and old photographs, it's a shame to see it all rot. Well, thanks again for a fantastic walkthrough of another gemstone of a home. keep up the great work gentlemen.
Even though the house had not truly been abandoned for 70 years, it was still a great find! The furniture was well filmed and absolutely beautiful. The pieces had to be well over 100 years! Great explore guys!
Hi Carla, thank you so much like always! The information we got is that the home was left by the original family, Moulbeaux, 70 years ago and that multiple squatters have lived inside of the home ever since. I don't know if the information is accurate and true, but the house was in a very decaying state for sure. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it again and hope to see you next time again. Have a wonderful day :-)
At 25:32 there is a 2012 calendar laying on the table. It feels like it has been abandoned longer than that but I think it was occupied up into the 1990s. That was a really modern washing machine and lots of modern toiletries and other products sitting around. Even the purses date it pretty recent. Clearly it has amazing antiques too and was probably occupied by the same family for a long time. I could cry at the historically valuable photos and amazing furniture left to rot.
Smittycat1234 Well spotted we saw that too.
Pocahontas - American animated film from 1995.
Many thanks gus ,really enjoy this amazing place ,with the history there from this beautiful couple thanks for documents it hugs
Hi there Cecy, so glad you enjoyed it and you are very welcome. Hugs back to you and till next time! Best, Maureno & Remon
I'm confused about "70 years". There was a semi-modern vacuum (like a shop vac) and washer and dryer. It might be less than 70 years abandoned, but they kept things exactly like they were while living there. Still LOVE the video!
Thank you for another great video...
Thank you for taking the time and risk to show us history.
Washing machine( maximum 10 years or less), fridges the same, there was even a modern computer keyboard, the paint buckets seemed new , a printer, cleaning supplies, euros, folders and many other objects that are not that old. Probably that place was still used by the remained family members while was decaying.
All those leather imitation boxes are actually boxes for silverware, unfortunately, stolen... Beautiful place with fantastic 19th century furniture and all those photos from 1860-1880. Love the wedding photo from around 1930. Is that the house in the background of that photo?
A great explore.. beautiful home.. ❤️ loved the beaded curtain and that wild wallpaper.
It’s a massage roller for the body.
For real? Would have never thought about that. Thank you for letting me know :-)
It's amazing the abandoned houses you find!!
Thousands of spiders, WOW !! I wouldn't come within 100 feet of that place, but I love watching your show, and you are very easy on the eyes, you're a looker, l do respect you and what you do,you're so respectful of the property, and all those beautiful memories 💙
beautiful place😍
but...everything left behind...it's sad story😭😭😭
Always a very sad story, but oh what a beautiful place. Thank you like always Apituley :D
Beautiful place and video. Thanks a lot Explomo! From Philippines
So welcome Doroja! Thanks to you for watching again :-)
I think from some of the appliances that it has been abandoned more like 40 years Never the less it is an very very interesting explore. Great job again!
I just can't believe the water is still on for the past 70 years such an amazing..the nature owns the house now.. Good thing you wear mask and gloves.. Take care always..
Hi Dinah, it is exactly as you say it. Nature become the new owner of this house. Honestly I never expected the water to still work inside of this place, so I was totally flabbergasted. Will take care, thank you very much and have a great day out there! :-)
The house could have it's own water supply like it's own well
Another great one guys!! Tfs- stay safe out there!!
Hi Ellie, thank you very much! We will stay safe and hope you have a wonderful day :-) best, Maureno & Remon
Wow ! What a wonderful video & excellent filming.
Such a shame for that beautiful old furniture left to just rot away in there.
I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing it.
Hi Shirley, it's our deepest pleasure sharing this place with you. Glad you enjoyed the style of the video and the filming. And totally agree it is such a shame that the beautiful belongings of the former residents were left. Fortunately, we still had the chance to document it before this place will be one big ruin. Anyway, thank you for watching and till next time! Best, Maureno & Remon
@@Explomo I love it when you reply to my comment, it makes this old woman happy, thank you for that.
Watching this type videos are such entertainment for someone who can't get out & do things like that anymore.
Hi Maureno, the man who was a professor was born in 1936 so he would be their Son and must have taken over his parents home when they died. Thank you for sharing this amazing property with us all. xx
As always it was our deepest pleasure showing & sharing this place with you Sue :-)
@@Explomo thank you, I loved it. You guys are epic. x
I remember film. I remember MTV used to play music, lol, and we were so excited when cable came to town.
amazing time capsule and your video is so great i love the way you make them perfect guys thanks 🤗👍👍
I really like how you guys get so excited about every little thing. I can tell that you really enjoy what you do. And it makes it more enjoyable for the rest of us 2 I don't understand why it's so fascinating still wondering where did these people go what happened to them? Why they leave everything behind? I think you should try doing more research to find out more about the people who live there
Loved it!!
My kind of explore. Love it!
Explomo thank you again, for touring this amazing home. Natural decay is awesome, but sad. Maybe the college, or medical school can deplay, with the family's permission of course, his notes and belongings to share his findings, and accomplishments with today's generation of future scientists and explorers.
Always welcome Elizabeth! I would love to meet the family and know how they are like. And hear there stories from the past which they have experienced in this beautiful house. Anyway, glad you've enjoyed it and hope to see you next time again! Best, Maureno & Remon :-)
@@Explomo 💕😁👍🏻
Guys you are great on your video's. It's sad to see so much going to ruin. The 17 hundred chair I would love to have. It's sad that family members do not want their history preserved. Good find.
The house was so diverse just like Mr. Devaux's interests! He seemed to have mementos from all over the world. The ship at 31:49 is sitting on a piece traditionally designed what is known as tapa or bark cloth. I saw a similar piece hanging on the wall at 26:28. My grandfather and great-aunt died from tuberculosis. It was very prevalent in the USA in the Ohio River Valley where I was raised. Great job on trying to sift through all the years of that man's marvelous life!
Its very nice to see how people used to live
I really do not believe that house has been abondened that long. 70 years no way. There was a printer in the one rooms up stairs. Looks like one I had about 15 years ago. Its clearly abandoned but if you look closely you will see things that are not that old. That battery operated dancing santa is is clearly not 70 years old. LOL Nivia Hand lotion in the kitchen. Maybe some relatives may have taken it over for a time and then left it for some unknown reason. Heck there was a shop vac and a microwave in the kitchen. The family probably left do to its poor condition. Probably needed to be condemned. Even with that being said. It was a great find and thank you for sharing it with us. Be safe
The earliest this place was abandoned was late 1990's. Disney released Pocahontas in 1995.
Hi guys, I think there is a mix, it seems that someone after decades lived in this house. As Always An Investigation Of Angels, Thank You So Much❤️😘
Fantastic explore my friend, yes I would say this home was abandoned in the 1970s or 80s maybe even later with the euros money you found , but the natural decay was amazing the way nature was taking it back , some nice old furniture and painting were nice , shame the old mini car looked to far gone to repair. Thank you Remon and friend for your cool vid .
There's way too many newer items that don't date back 70 yrs. It's a very nice video, interesting.
You guys are great!! I really love your content!! Keep up the good work!! New subscriber here. ❤️ ☺️ ❤️
Some of that stuff is not 70 years old. Some then items did come out tell after I was born.
that strange wooden thing with meals is a massage roller
You do a wonderful job
Really enjoyed all the stuff.. as if u knew well about the old building. Thumbs up
I would say it was left 20-30 years modern stuff laying around but great find
Great explore. There are many things, like the wall paper that make me think it was abandoned in or around the 1970's. I could be wrong, but that crazy wall paper alone looks like it came from 1960. At any rate i loved the home and explore. Always a fun time watching your channel. Love the respect you give to other people's things. Thank you again. DELAWARE, USA
I havent seen a packet of Rothmans like the one on the table since the 1970's it was my Aunties favourite brand. she once used to collect the empty packets and make animal ornaments with them. She was so clever with her hands.
Love your aspiration of the place this place looks like late 60s 70s mostly 70s look at the wallpaper thank you for exploring very cool
Gracias chicos, lo hacen muy bien son detallistas y eso se agradece. Esos años de gloria que ellos vivieron, solo han dejado lo material que con el tiempo también colapsa y desaparece, estamos de paso en esta vida.
27:43 a computer printer. Sure 70 years old..........
I love you guys, you always have great content, thanks for showing us. Just wanted to say Hi from Australia.
Awww well hey from the Netherlands Susie! You are very welcome and we are both very glad you enjoy our content that much. Merry christmas! :-)
@@Explomo Merry Christmas to you too.
Super Fantastic!
Wauw this is real urbex love the decay 😍
Nice video, love ya 💋
Je ne manque jamais vos vidéos bien que je ne comprenne pas grand-chose à ce que-vous dites! Mais votre travail est de grande qualité . Bravo et bisous de France
Great video guys 💪😘✌️
Thank you very much Tessa!
Hele vette video weer !
Unieke locatie, hou ervan.
Hi guys! That desk must of really been beautiful before the decay and mold got to it!! Must of been a family home passed down thru generations- very interesting- Tfs!!
Hello, house and the compagny of Marie Lambertine Houbeau trader baker, widow of Mr Louis Joseph Degotte, born 19/10/1839 died on 9/05/1919 Then the villa and compagny belonged to Louis Degotte son and his wife Marguerite Gerken, to their daughter Léon Degotte married to Paul Devaux and their son François Joseph Devaux Professor CTU born May 16, 1936 and his wife Rolande Pysarevitch born in 1944 and died in Theux on September 7, 2010. The foot compagny created in 1989 and abandoned in 2008. The food company has moved to a new building managed by François Devaux fils.
Love all your abandoned finds. You seemed rushed in this video tho , you usually will pan the camera very slow, this one you moved too fast I had to keep rewinding to catch things. Looking forward to your next adventures!! You & Remon are my faves! ♥️
Hi Maureno and friend, Explomo, Another very interesting explore. great! - That professor was certainly doing a lot of scientific research,
according to the items you were showing. - On one of his bigger sheets he was reflecting over osmotic reactions maybe in conjunction
with renal functions, as I presume. - By the way I loved listening to your comments about medical subjects, or when you were looking
at the X-ray. - I can really feel, that you are strongly interested and highly dedicated in your medical studies. - So once again wishing you
all the necessary luck and force to succeed in this field of studies. - Thank you for the amazing explore in that house. - Of course
it was sad to see how heavily everything there is continuously decaying away. - I hope you are well. - Greetings also to Remon, peace
and lots of blessings. - Kindest regards.
Hi there amazing Willy, it is always such a pleasure eading your comment under a new video. You are completely right, one of the sheets presented information concerning the volumetric osmotic regulation of the human body fluids by the kidneys. I would have loved to explain this sheet as well, but do not want the videos to be too long. Thank you very much for your luck. We both are well. Take care and kindest blessings to our amazing Swiss fan! :-)
@@Explomo , Hi again, It's my greatest pleasure, and you are very welcome. - Actually I myself was surprised too, that I still
recognized that apparently in a correct way, because so very many years have passed since I studied exactly these subjects.
Therefore thank you also so much for confirming my observations. I really appreciate a lot, and your kind feedback made my day!
I am already waiting with excitement for your next exploring adventure. - Kindest regards.
- - One extra request: May I draw your attention to my main comment of your "Disney" castle explore from the 16.10.2019.
- There I have some probably very interesting information for you. Your opinion would interest me a lot. -
Doesn't anything make you feel sick? The portrait of himself and the picture of the married couple in the last bedroom were beautiful. And there were NO crucifixes!
Way too modern artifacts for 70 years. Still amazing and awesome urbex. Bravo 🐟
There is a computer monitor from 1990s.....
Love....Love...Love Your Video
Guys😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Good Job👍👍👍👊👊👊
I really love this video
Thanks for sharing your video. Love the antique furniture. I don't think the house. Has been abandoned for 70 years. The washing machine was too modern. Have a great evening.
Thanks for your incredible video and for your generosity in sharing this experience with us. You are very brave - the floors looked so dangerous. I didn't see any spiders, thank God, but those cobwebs🙈. There are several generations mixed in the video. Greetings from Spain.
Amazing...😍😍😍
1793 antique chair I love it. Why? No one take the furniture's inside that house they just left it for decay. I wish someone will save those furniture's.
Definitely abandoned in the 90s to early 2000's. Not 70 years. lol the eggs in that fridge were from the 90s or so. There are some nice antiques and vintage items in here though. Interesting place, thanks for the video.
- The eggs had a date stamped on them and they didn't even bother to read it!!! LOL I was waiting in anticipation for him to admit he was wrong, so very wrong, about the date it was abandoned.
Ik vind het geweldig zoveel als jij weet kanonnen zeg
Goed hoor xx
The water that came when you egaged the tap, seems to have been water left in the piping. So the water suply may, still, be disengaged. Great place!
