The story and influence of the original owners of this place is impressive.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Thanks for the tour. I closed on the purchase of my property in France last Monday. It's been a busy week since, but oh so enjoyable. Keeping my fingers crossed that you guys find the right property. Cheers-
Finally! Congratulations on your settlement! We wishing you all the very best and many many beautiful days in your new home! 🥂🥂🥂
@@Chateau_de_Londigny Merci
Congratulations! Hope to see your adventures on TH-cam as well!
Merci for the wonderful tour of the Australien National Trust Barwon Manor. The bluestone basalt stone is new to me but what a glorious building material. It must be highly durable to contend with the vagaries of the Australian climate. An arresting building, both in design and composition, it seems to rely on elements of the early Industrial Era of colonisation. The wrought iron is a miracle of design; and surprisingly yet particularly reminiscent of the Paris Exhibitions of 1855, 1889 and 1900. As an architect, you have sent me down a rabbit hole ( oui, pun intended) of investigation into Australien Colonial architecture and there are some amazing discoveries to be made. I have a new found love of Bluestone! Australia truly is a land of wonders; I am surprised you would ever wish to leave! Greetings from a secret château in Normandie.
Love that you loved it so much! 🏰 It’s a really impressive building and the details like the wrought iron and ceilings are just beautiful. Your knowledge is incredible and it would be wonderful to see your chateau ☺️ Guess it’s getting some deserved love. 🏰🤗
Thanks for taking us along on the tour of this beautiful chateau. What an interesting history. Bonne chance on your search 😍😘
That was a beautiful tour of a beautiful property.
That entrance hall and staircase was breath taking. Thank you for showing some Australian historical property. 🇨🇦❤
Thank you very much Stephen and you are welcome! We are glad that this is of interest! ☺️🏰 🤗
Enjoyed the tour. Thank you! Love the outtakes.
What a beautiful building. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou For The Tour Of The Beautifully History Manner House 🏠Amazing Staircase 👌💕
Thank you Janice ! You’re welcome! 🤍
Thank you for this lovely tour.
I enjoyed. That was a beautiful Mansion.
Very nice to see this from down under, as many of us will never be there in person. Thank you
Thank you Gitte! You’re welcome! We are glad you liked it! 🤗☺️
Denise, you seem to have a lovely eye for design. Will look forward to seeing what you do with a chateau.
Thank you very much Linda! 🤍🏰
Lovely to see and hear a bit about that old property😃It is always nice to see such a historic home like that being looked after and its history protected for future generations.You must be excited to get back over to Europe/France to start looking for your own place soon.Spring is in the air over here now and summer is just around the corner😎
Keep posting as we love following your plans😉
Mike and Gina😀
Thank you Mike and Gina!
We are looking forward to come back in Spring and seeing France greener than before! It will be a lot of fun and we are getting excited. You never know! ☺️
Thank you for watching this ! 🤍
This was grat to see something so close to home and have the story told. I'm in Geelong
Thank you Annette for watching, great to know you are that close! ☺️ Amazing!
This was so interesting and really well narrated by you both. I do hope you do this for your new Chateau. Can’t wait to learn it’s history from you both ❤
Lived around the Austin hospital and not far from the homestead and knew none of this. So thanks for the history lesson. Did know about the rabbits though xx
Oh wow Debbie, that’s great that we could give you more information through our little video now. ☺️ Thank you for watching ☺️😘
Beautiful ….. Thank You For Sharing
Loves this channel
Beautiful home and history!!
Thank you for sharing! Good to see you both.
Loved the property you showed, reminds me of my life in Kenya and South Africa, thank you for shareing.
You’re welcome. Yes Africa is very much the same through the colonial influences. ☺️🏰
If you are ever in geelong again, would love to have you on our boat, not quite a chateau but our home, down at Balmoral Quay
Thank you very much for the invitation! Would love to meet you! Just around the corner. 😊🥂☀️
🌹 just watched So Chateau where their budget is one million euros!
Restoring a farm is little like the mammoth job of restoring a chateau!
Many vloggers talk about escalating costs of restorations, so I hope you are sensibly prepared for your romantic dream ❣️🌹
Thank you Moira, we will have a look. ☺️ We hope we are on the right way and preparing everything to make sure we have knowledge, money and skills that help us along the way! ☺️🏰😘
Went here in 2013, camped nearby, exciting house.
Très belle demeure ❤️❤️❤️❤️
😍😍🏰
Hi Denise and Brett, thank you for showing us the historic Barwon Manor, it's a stunning home and the history is very interesting. I must admit, bringing in beautiful creatures as Rabbits just to kill for sport, was not a nice thing. Game hunting for sport was the passion of wealthy, so it's no wonder, but is part of the history. Thanks again. Love from N.Y.
Hello Joni, agree, definitely not a nice thing to do. But a part of the history as you say. 🥹 The home itself with all its details and the bluestone is quite impressive. Glad you liked the tour. 😘☺️
Very nice Cheatue you showed us there absolutely stunning love all the wood and staircase as well. Hey Denise I wanted to let you know my family is German as well. Although none of the family speaks German here in the US anymore. The language died with my great-grandparents, however, I still have my grandmother's German bible.
These were our German names one was Romke, Kleinschmidt and my mom married German, Reister was my maiden name. What was your maiden name in German? Can't wait for more videos. Hope y got a chance to watch those videos I sent you. I hope they help! Have a beautiful week at your farm.
Hello Michelle, that is really interesting your family story! And sound so typical German , love it! ☺️
A pity that you can’t speak it anymore but guess that’s just what happens after generations. Here in Australia are many people with german background but can’t speak german anymore. :) But names lasting longer! 🤍🤍🤍
That was a great tour. I love those verandas and the wonderful staircase and ceilings. How much would a property like that cost in Australia?
Hello Jane, 😍 thank you. The staircase and ceilings are really amazing!
It would probably be around 5-10 Million Australian?! 🫢🏰 Big hugs! We hope you are both well xx
@@Chateau_de_Londigny we're good here thanks, the weather is improving now too, lots of sunshine xxxx
Barwon Park is lovely. What a shame its a National Trust property (although good for us) and not still a lovely family home. We don't have a lot of these reminders of our colonial past left, so its good that some of them are still around and being well looked after.
Hello Angela, yes the National Trust is taking good care of it. It would have been nice as a family home but we are also glad that we are able to go and visit it when we have guests to show them some historical buildings :). ☺️🤗
Will you do another Q&A? They're always fun! What is the work Brett speaks of? What size Chateau are you hoping for? Will you take your dog with you (hope so!)
Will take that to the white board! 😁😏🤗🤍
Thank you, I enjoyed that tour.
Thank you very much Barb as its really time consuming to edit, voiceover and make it look nice. Really really appreciate your feedback (it’s the first comment) 🤍🤍🤍🤗
Lovely video, thank you..
I wonder why Thomas's house didn't pass to there children? Oh well will research ... can I be cousin from Adelaide so I can visit Chateau 🤣🤣🤣 here's hoping you've had some luck on your search .. thx for the update and I hope your father enjoyed our wonderful country 😀 Australia 🇦🇺
Haha our cousin from Adelaide! Good idea! 😁
The history of the house is really impressive. Your question is a good one, I think the kids sold it to the next owners and then it got into National Trust hands.
Actually you can stay in Australia with properties like that. South Africa has the same British colonial estates too.
Chateau for sale in Bordeaux. See vlog Bordeaux life Anna and Ed , they viewed this beautiful chateau, looks like no work needed
Thank you Judith we had a look! It’s beautiful but to far from where we would like to buy. 🥹☺️😘
@@Chateau_de_Londigny that’s a shame but was worth the look
Is that bluestone?
yes 😍
