- This Château of the Forest also known as its true name Castle Moulbaix and Château de Chasteleer was designed in a Neo - Tudor style and built in 1860 by the order of the Marquis Du Chasteler Oswald. He was a descendant of the ancient Hainault family. The family Chasteler Du (the house Chasteleer or Van Chasteleer) were settled in Moulbaix since the middle ages. The Castle of the Forest replaced the house and feudal fortress that were originally built on the property in 1502. Some of the remains of the former castle can still be found on the property according to visits there. The current Chateau de la Foret was built by architect Desire Athois Limburg and is rectangular and flanked by four corner towers and is fortified with four octagonal turrets on top of the towers. The abandoned castle has 344 windows and is surrounded by 62 acres of land.
It now belongs to the children of the Count d’Ursel Aymard. The descendants cannot decided on a single owner and the castle has begun to fall into decay.

was it bought for 3,725 million euros? wow
It's in French.
Michelle Stone really really hope whoever bought this most beautiful chateau is just going to restore her , to her form glory.... Absolutely great montage 👍🏻😉
You have a gift - you certainly have an eye for architecture, and your photography is simply stunning. Even if the locations you photograph eventually disappear, your photos will keep them alive forever. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Fascinating and amazing beyond words of description. I'm a Carpenter by trade and this place is a true work of art. I try to contain my judgment on why the property fell into decay but it is relevant on today's society loosing Respect and Apreciation from which they came.
Cruel World
A few years ago I tried to buy the remains of a 19th century farmhouse. There was no mains water nor electricity, but it was a charming group of old buildings arranged around a small courtyard, and with land around it; plus it is next to where my parents live. I met one of the owners (they were 4 brothers and sisters) and called him every 3 months or so for a couple of years to check if they had moved things along with their solicitors (because they couldn't agree on the value). I tried to have a meeting with all of them at the same time, but apparently it is not possible for them to be in the same room, or they couldn't be bothered...
I drove in front of the building this summer and a storm had torn a portion of the roof appart and a sculpted lintel broke and fell. Shame, I thought. But at the end of the day, even if this was nothing compared to this castle, it is not money that makes people stupid. It is just stupidity that makes people stupid.
I have heard in france there are a lot of abandoned chateaux, perhaps if you are trying to restore or renovate france will be perfect. I would love to hear more about your story, if you do not mind sharing?
Good luck on finding a project or a home!!
Too bad there isn’t a law that requires the owners to maintain a property and if it remains abandoned for a few decades, the state can decide who to sell it too. Arrogance has a price. Especially when it comes to a country’s heritage such as these chateaus.
This breaks my heart. What a beauty. I could be so happy living there. Can't afford to, but wish I could.
how heartbreaking to see such grand beauty be allowed to just fall apart, sadly those that have so much dont seem to realize what they have and plain just dont care what happens to it, not wanting to put any of their money into keeping the beauty going, very sad, its from an era that has gone and will never return, such craftsmanship is able to be done by so few....i hope whoever bought it is able to restore her again
It would be wonderful to live somewhere like this but it would take an awful lot of money and a staff helpers to keep clean! But a girl can dream!
Lin Joy I'd probably be one of the people cleaning! About the only way I could stay there, (then I'd probably go postal & end up in jail!)
Did anyone notice that all the beds seemed as if people had just woke up and flipped the covers over
This place has to be guarded or watched by someone.. Surprised of the condition and the fact that all the valuables are still there.. I hate when people go into places like this only to destroy them! So disrespectful... Great find though!
+Dakotadarkwolf The place doesn't look like this now, a lot of the stuff has gone and it's a right mess but someone has recently bought the place so what happens now, who knows.
+Michelle Stone
It will be restored and made habitable again.
Changes are being made as we speak
Yes, Is horrible!!!
Actually, i´m speechless. What the fuckin fuck. This is so awesome and so sad at the same time ! Thanks for sharing !
IN ENGLAND - the estate is given to the first born male, if no male heir, then the estate is given to the oldest male cousin. If no male cousin, then to the first born male uncle. This process has worked for generations and generations and thus few castles lay in ruin. Women are not to inherit property as it could fall into the hands of their prospective husband which would be outside of the family dynasty and bloodline.
It didn't look too ruined for me to move right in!
Todo lo que hay en estos castillos son reliquias muy valiosas. Como dejar que se deterioren. Son tesoros para mi!!
You really captured the soul of this place. Thanks.
This is gastly! All this beautiful furniture and this lovely home rotting away!
Carolyn J. Griffin A lot of the damage have been done by vandals but I think it has been sold thank God I would love to buy some articles from there
@@patriciacalunniato9173 yes, The castle has been sold
Сердце щемит от пустоты и безлюдья... А это история.
Все уходит в небытие..
Очень жалко!!❤
Just beautiful. The architecture, the detail. Love the camera work, nice and slow and professional.
The photographs look like paintings. Lovely. Thank you!
I would take every mantle clock, with their side pieces......
☺️☺️☺️ Vu le 29 05 23 à 19h09 . It's magnificent . 10/10 ...
Lo he visto miles de veces me fascina el vídeo el sitio la música todo.
Unverantwortlich die Namen und Plätze preiszugeben! Leider zieht das fast immer Vandalismus nach sich...traurig!
Absolutely breathtaking.
Je l'ai visité ce week-end et malheureusement il a été visité et pillé : il ne reste rien de la "petite décoration" et des petits meubles. C'est scandaleux!
Mis en vente publique forcée, je l'ai visité ce samedi librement en famille...Grandiose et incroyable!!
Il a ete vendu ?
C est vrai ni eau ni electricite ?
@@chantalrongier9959 vendu, équipé d'eau et d'électricité... avec même une ancienne piscine...
Really beautiful pictures!!!
Oh how I miss this castle.. Great video!
What a lovely place.....
amazing
WHY IS THEIR GOVT NOT TAKING AN INITIATIVE TO PRESERVE ITS HISTORY?
Why oh why did these people just move out and leave all their belongings behind? One of the beds looks like someone just slept in it. What a mystery!
Ciekawy film. Wspaniała eksploracja. Pozdrawiamy z Polski
That curved arch in the Bedroom! Wow.
A very surreal and creepy place.
Most of the paintings, bibelots and furniture seems to be salvagable. Fantastic place.
Just finished watching the 14 1/2 min or so video. Boy did you rush through there! But I could tell you were taking pictures, so I was so pleased that I came across them. Wow you are an amazing photographer! You captured what I longed to see beautifully. I hope whoever you work for pays you well and then some. You're amazing at what you do. Can't thank you enough for sharing these.
Will be nice to see when the Chateau is restored. Thanks for posting.
Just natural decay full of lovely old furniture, patterned wallpaper etc.
Since 2016 another family has owned the property and the surrounding area converted into a vineyard. Interior renovations have been carried out on the property.
Beautiful, love the music.
what I would give to live here
Super vidéo ! C'est fascinant ! Et la musique est génial...
I proprietari sono morti non avevano eredi com'è possibile lasciare andare in rovina un castello così bello con dei mobili e suppellettili così Preziosi è un vero peccato anche in Francia abbandonano Castelli e Ville meravigliose bel video brava
i hope they dont have winters there...i bet there freezing there arses off if they do.lol
Muchas veces lo veo es facinante, hermoso me encantan los muebles.
Que lastima dejarlo deteriorarse de esa manera. Me entristece mucho ver el paso del tiempo.
why oh why are these left to decay? Plenty of people would love to live there
The castle has been emptied.
All preparations are being made to start restoring.
It's guarded from now on as well.
Better to be restored then to be left in ruins.
Hi, great video Micelle. I subscribed & liked. I recently got into exploring and I need subscribers and to see what others do. Thank you. Mike
WORTH a shit ton of money
Dommage le commentaire pas en francais , moi connait pas l'anglais 😥😥
I wonder what happened
why dont they all live there lol
kel tristesses de voir ceci un si beaux châteaux le voir dans cette états.
Bonjour, thanks to share this beauty. Just a question, in which country did you find this ? I like a lot your style of urbex video, not too much sade, just enough to remember me that nothing in this word is eternal...
Near the village of Moulbaix in the district of Ath , in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.
Very beautiful and historical! 👍🏻🙋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕊️🧚
Very atmospheric! Somehow the state of decay adds to the atmosphere of the structure. Though I hope the building can be restored. It is very beautiful.
it's so strange and incredible to think that people lived there, slept in beds and ALL that stuff, and it seems like one day they just left. This place must have a lot of energy saved, from the people who lived there
Am sure WW1 and 2 had a negative effect on this property and the cost of maintaining it is stupendous. Would be a fantastic Air B&B if there was sufficient demand to warrant investing in it. At least it should be of use to the town or local college.
wow
I would love to buy some articles from there
，Can you talk with them?
This is an old video. The place has since been cleared and restored.
Why was this marvelous place abandoned
It tells you in the description. Click on show more.
What a fantastic Chateau, could turn its into a 5 star hotel place. Great photos
Do everyone know, If I still can get in there? Because I know It is sold and I don't know If I ever can take such awesome pictures of it. I'm a lost placer and read about this in a photo book.
It's cool to heard that somebody want to fix it. Such a awesome place must rescued.
terrible
Beautiful Chateau (some rooms). I'm confused, is it being refurbished or were some shots prior to it being abandoned? But that furniture!! I'd love to have some of it, as well as some other things I saw! I do hope it's being refurbished!! There's just too much beauty and history (I assume) to just let it go to waste!
Just saw the comment about it being sold and the link to another site, hope it has a fairytale ending!
very elegant, but it is odd how some rooms look spotless and others look very messy.Still a beautiful home
so sad ...
I would love to live in it as is and spend years exploring and tidying up ,,,,,,
I can't believe the children let this place rot away like this. I suppose they have their reasons. I have a two good guesses why and the abvious one is no respect. Terrible waist and decision the Count made should have been thought through more. It will take millions to repair now.
+Kelly Quann What's even sadder is the state the place is in now. Practically all the paintings are gone and that giant mural has disappeared. The place is a right mess. If the descendants weren't bothered about the place, which seems to be the case, they should've sold the place and split the funds. But as the saying goes, more money than sense.
An Estate like this is usually passed down through generations and kept in the family. There may have been a stipulation in the Will forbidding sale of property.
+Kelly Crystal Quann They just sold the castle to a new owner, and he said he was gonna try to fix this into the old state. He didn't want this castle to be a waste like other abandoned castles.
+Viction. that is wonderful news. the home can be happy once more.
+Kelly Crystal Quann ....waste....not waist...fyi
Какой огромный и красивый дворец, брошенный на произвол судьбы, умирать в одиночестве и тоске.....Но как печально видеть такие шикарные комнаты, обставленные роскошной мебелью, а сколько много книг, целая комната, видимо жили здесь умные и начитанные люди.....Почему его оставили, никто не может точно сказать причину, грустно от этого и очень жалко этот умирающий дворец, не грусти, милый дом, может у тебя снова возродиться жизнь......
Great Lost Place and very nice Video 👍
Un magnifique escalier principal en marbre !!! Pas trop à restaurer. On verra ce qu'on en fera, à part une salle de réception.. après la vente...
merci pour ce magnifique reportage .Trop de peine pour ce manoir abondoné ....il y avait une vie
where is it located any idea?
I wouldn't know what to do with all that room.
H ha, I sure wish that were a problem I were currently having to deal with.
so sad to see how much time was lost her
Stupid owners.. The place is falling apart due to their greed they've two ways sell it and divide the profit equally or donate it to the govt who could make a museum, hotel whatever .. Instead its like this. Any idea is better than this
Belgien?
beautifuuuuuull location :-)
why make it lool so spooky :(
beautifuuuuuulllllll 😍😍😍
merci pour ce beau reportage et cette belle musique
I am surprised that the furniture remained as allot of that stuff is worth some serious money.
c est magnifique
un loc minunat foarte valoros
Lovely❤️
Splendide vidéo.
Chateau of the forest. a time capsule chateau. lots of lovely furniture, pictures, rosy wallpaper etc, looks like the last owner just abandoned the place and never returned
This is what happens to a place when the owner ages & cannot look after a house....then once they die the chidren fight over what to do with it....none of them really want to take it on because of the expense, but neither will they give up their part of the 'wealth'...however people are reporting here that it is now sold, so hopefully somebdy will rescue it.
wow minunat
When (and how) did you get in? I was on the location twice in april but i couldn't find an entrance and there were people (guards?) present so we had to sneak back out. I would love to get a PM from you and have a private chat.
And your pictures are lovely!
Namingway00 The pictures are a few years old and the video is a re-upload which was originally seen on the late Lisa Stone's channel.
+Namingway00 There is no legal way in...as you noted it is technically guarded. You break in! Against the law...but you physically force a door or window to go in.
magnifique
omg those clothes... wow!
Mm point de vue
Il doit y avoir 2 mondes parallèles faits pour ne pas se croiser. .. Le premier est peuplé de personnes comme moi qui donneraient tout pour posséder un château, avoir la chance de vivre au milieu des vieilles pierres, et tous les jours écouter ce qu'elles ont à nous raconter. Certains lieux méritent tellement d'être respectés. L'amour, la passion sont les meilleures armes contre l'oubli. Et puis il y a l'autre monde qui m'est totalement incompréhensible, peuplé d'individus indifférents, dotés d'une conscience particulière qui leur permet, en toute impunité, de ne pas souffrir des conséquences relatives à la médiocrité de leurs choix. C'est triste.
Glad to know its been bought and not just to rot.
Sugaree43 as long as the new owners keep the antiques and the overall design as lovely as it is now!
@@olivegorl8671 : yes, and not paint over all the beautiful wood, or try to "modernize" it.
Typically SAD - Families can't stand for one to have more than the other - If "I" can't have it no one can!! mentality ruins many homesteads, if the children all own it and you can't make up your mind - Live in it together as a family home - as it was intended so many years before.....
The fallen ceiling plaster means an area of the roof has failed: It might be large or small, but it will be fatal to all below. Some of the furniture looks valuable, and the craftsmanship of the paneling and stucco work would be prohibitively expensive to duplicate. Why won't the heirs wake up and fix the roof, at least. So frustrating!
The place has since been sold and restored.
Ok to abandon a rotting big house due to the lack of money I can understand it. You can always sale it and move on. This chateau still is in a fairly good conditon (few money, taste and a good renovation plan could do marvels!). To abandon great antique furnitures and heirlooms shows luck of taste, education and indifirrence to your past. I feel so sad & angry watching this...
do you ever do research on the building you go in it should make your videos that much better.
Did you read the description?
Michelle, I love that Castle....I would love to live in that one...they should fix it up and rent it out for people visiting ....
Nice staging.
Très belles photos 👍
