It's amazing how you show and narrate the videos of these amazing abandoned places, which makes the whole scenario even sadder because we realize that "nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky" and that we should live every second of our lives enjoying everything before let it end.
You sir are a great human being. So big hearted and kind with a great channel! You show detail and I love that you use your inside voice. It's the cherry on top! Keep up the great work!
Absolutely beautiful. I actually didn't see a room i didn't like. The music In the video is very fitting. So calming and reminiscent sounding. I really love the appreciation you give to family's history. Not knowing much or anything about the people is so mysterious too. Great job. And thank you!
Great explore! The blue wallpaper is called toile & very common on fabrics, wallpaper & even china throughout France. This place must have been fantastic in its day. Missed seeing Lakota!
A real beauty indeed. Wow! Love the beds. I've seen a tub like that before. Think it was some asylum in the US. Can't remember exactly. You picked a lousy day for an explore. Stay safe.
Love this house alot , it has so much charm and a feminine touch and class in every room . This one is a winner in my opinion , just a look at a style from the past that is timeless .
that's one unique house, loved the fire place mantel, herringbone floor patterns, the furniture is beautiful and that tub was an old hydro therapy tub, thank you for sharing😃
The really nice part is where the windows are open with the views as well as the birds chirping. Peaceful tranquility. We have a couple of homes and the items we travel and look for is old world European furniture. So when you go through some of these places I am amazed at what is left to just decay away. We travelled to the Boston area to pick up a hand carved bed . The backboard alone must have 100s of hours of work on it. That bed was $12,000 plus the cost of travel. But it was worth it as we got to tour the old Boston area.
Beautiful house...the gold bed is way older than the 70s...that pulpit thing- it looks like french provincial and it looks like a bar maybe...Great find in this house...Thx for sharing... 🙏💜
The French Inheritance Tax system causes these homes to be abandoned. The people who inherit it have to pay it. And if they can’t? Well, here’s a perfect example of what happens. Alternatively, The economic global crash was happening in 2009, so it’s possible the owner lost this house when he lost his business. Perhaps the bank now owns it. And is unable to sell it.
Hello, in the gold room the seat with the table beside it, is called a telephone table they were made when phones had a wire attaching them to one place so the phone would sit on the table and you could sit on the sit to use the phone while the telephone book would be in the draw they are still popular with people who like to dress their sitting rooms or hallways up like they used to be back in the 80/90s. In the sitting room the half round unit you called a pulpit is actually a bar for holding and serving alcohol drinks from. And finally in the disabled bathroom the small round washing machine is a rinsed & spinner generally used after hand washing clothes you’d put them in then using a hose put water over them and switch it on this would start it turning gently then when you were finished you flick a switch and the water would be pumped out then once the water was down to a trickle you flicked the next switch which started to rotate the clothes very fast this spun the clothes some people would add more water to ensure that all the soapy water was out of the clothes once the water stopped coming out the clothes you’d switch off the machine and hung your clothes out to dry. Hope this helps you with your European tour I found a lot of the furniture to be 80/90s British style.
LOVELY! I don't understand either. But 2009 was not long ago for things to have progressed to that point. They prob. started the renov and realized it was going to be too much of an undertaking. SO SAD to see this lovely old place in such a state. Thanks Mr. B! Good visit!
The resident was very intellectual. He read books about the old empire and masterpieces by Goethe. Goethe was one of the most important poets and writers in Germany. What Shakespeare means for England, Goethe means for Germany.
The room with the 2 sofas was a room for drinks like the cabinet was a liquor cabinet/bar in house. And the thing y'all called a extra washer was actually a centrifuge when you wash yr clothes and you want them to hang for drying you put the clothes first in that thing to get the excess of water out . In Europe mostly used when pple have no dryer or when some clothes can't be dried in the dryer .
I can't recommend you getting a respirator enough. All the black mold you are breathing in from these places is going to add up and make you sick for years my friend. Safety is first you said, so get a respirator at least or avoid black mold in general. It's long term damaging.
Thanks again for a great video! It looks like some of the renovations from 70's/80s were trying to be removed. Another comment said a little of it looked like stuff from British style furniture from the 80s - I agree. The bathroom with what you thought may have been marble tiles - they are marble-look ceramic tiles, popular in the late 70s early 80s & some styles into the 90s. That room where you thought they were stripping out the wallpaper? I agree, the checked/square wallpaper looked late 20th Century. Some of the walls, like in that little room that you couldn't work out what it was for may not have been the original floor plan. All of the fire places looked like they'd had an electric heat source installed - common in old British houses that were renovated in the 60s/70s/80s, as they moved away from using fireplaces to burn wood - they went out of fashion & everyone wanted electric everything. Chateaus are expensive to run, especially to heat. But all the modern stuff devalues the period features (to prospective buyers). All the modern bathroom stuff would have been necessary though, for someone with disabilities. I care for someone with profound disabilities & an old style bathtub would be impossible. The old black & white photograph looks like Thailand. I saw many similar temples when I was travelling there & the writing looked Thai as well. Great discovery - thanks! 😍
Like a time capsule. So surprised that someone hasn't vandalized that place. Dude, you're whispering some of the time like somebody's still there, haha. Was it very dusty? Some of it doesn't appear to be. Black mold ran the family out I'd say. It can make you sick or kill you.
Great house that was not a washing machine its a spin dryer to use after washing you clothes by had the bath is for people with a disability we have them in the hospitals nursing homes and private homes in the UK nice find guys.
@@BigBankz Yes, but in the 70s and into the 80s (in the US) nobody had "new houses." That was seen as an extravagance, or someone saving up and going all out, and or someone wanting to go live out in the country on some acres (away from the town). It was rare. People were living in houses decades old as the norm and those houses had character and were well built to last. It is now seen strangely, as being too expensive to repair older houses and cheaper to build new. How did this happen? It makes no sense.
Spirit is claiming ownership of this house. At 2:07 it says “it is our home” you probably won’t hear that. But at 2:38 when you’re saying it’s the best/biggest you’ve seen so far it says “what?!” Pretty loudly. You’ll need earbuds/headphones on highest volume to hear this male spirit. Listen to the air, try to ignore the actual speaking. 3:17 “can you NOT stand in my room” the “not” is the loudest sound 3:21 “Noww you have to go” the word “now” is the loudest sound 3:26 “don’t you hear me screaming? Out!” ..that’s gonna be a hard listen for you guys, unfortunately. 3:43 “how dare you!” ..she’s furious you guys are looking at all her stuff.
When I lived in Germany many years ago students were required to take several different languages ( I'm thinking three) . Almost all took English as one of the chosen languages.

You are very welcome!
Beautiful old Mansion, I love old beds and furniture! It's sad to see the decay! Thanks for showing us this old pearl!! Greetings from Germany😊
Maybe they’ll be saved one day! Thank you for watching!
So beautiful! An incredible time-capsule! Untouched and no vandalism. I wish I would have enough money to buy this.
Absolutely beautiful. I actually didn't see a room i didn't like. The music In the video is very fitting. So calming and reminiscent sounding.

I love all the beautiful furniture in this place. The velvet looking chairs look super fancy and expensive! Such an amazing place!
Love the house so much left. Loved the house especially the red room. Happy trails Big Banks and companions stay safe.
Great fireplaces through out the house. I'd love to sit in front of one on a cold night with a great book and some hot tea. Great explore.
I'm ready for this...I got my tea and chips waiting for this treat!!!!! Let's go Big Bankz😍
A real beauty indeed. Wow! Love the beds. I've seen a tub like that before. Think it was some asylum in the US. Can't remember exactly. You picked a lousy day for an explore. Stay safe.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful mansion and France with us.

Crumbling but still nice. !? Even beautiful. Wow.
First you say thank you and can’t wait
The gold bed and matching chair - desk , the material is called crush velvet. This is an amazing place with a feminine touch in every room 😍
The really nice part is where the windows are open with the views as well as the birds chirping.
Peaceful tranquility.

I thought it was a fancy bar, too.

The resident was very intellectual. He read books about the old empire and masterpieces by Goethe. Goethe was one of the most important poets and writers in Germany. What Shakespeare means for England, Goethe means for Germany.
Absolutely! They missed the 3rd Reich book

Lovely house 🏘️ great work 🌻🏴🌹🎉🙏🌻🌟 nanapolly x 🌺

Once again a good video , beautiful can believe they just got up left with out nothing but just beautiful.

That’s what I thought that was for!
So many beautiful wallpapers❤❤❤❤
This is James Barrow it's so heartbreaking 💔 left this house abandoned and 2 rot down
You found Belle’s Bedroom!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
This house has the coolest doors I’ve ever seen!🚩

👍Great job
That stand was for a bowl and pitcher for washing and the wire was for hanging the towel
Beautiful find
It's too bad somebody don't go in there or whoever owns the house and take the furniture and sell it or something it's really pretty beds
That's a beautiful place
How really sad is that such a beautiful house what a shame for it to be left to rot great video
Thank you so much!
Definitely worth restoring
This is James Barrow I love abandoned houses and schools and hospitals
Like a time capsule. So surprised that someone hasn't vandalized that place. Dude, you're whispering some of the time like somebody's still there, haha. Was it very dusty? Some of it doesn't appear to be.
Black mold ran the family out I'd say. It can make you sick or kill you.
The pic above the bed looks exactly like Belle ❤️🌹🌹
Yeah tub is like they use in nursing homes for the elderly
What an Absolutely beautiful place what have love to seen it and it’s heyday sad to see it Being left to whether away and the elements
Wow man...
Very cool 😎 house love the old houses 🏘️
I love the color red Coca-Cola red and I collected Coca-Cola for many years
awesome
Was an awesome home at one time.👍❤️🇺🇸
How beautiful
Did you ever figure out what those two books were that were found in more than one room?
Great house that was not a washing machine its a spin dryer to use after washing you clothes by had the bath is for people with a disability we have them in the hospitals nursing homes and private homes in the UK nice find guys.
nice video :)
Elderly living in homes with 2nd or 3rd floors will many times abandon all upstairs in thier later years as it is unsafe for them to navigate them.
That pylpit furniture could be a credenza. Keep booze bottles or kitchen plates in
The gold bedroom, I believe that is a telephone table where it sat
No Bankz, you really should be wearing a mask when going through some of these old mansions! Breathing mold anit nothing to play with!
The tub size wow
What a beautiful building left to rot
Great video as always bankz, but you have to watch the mold exposure... You've played The Last of Us right.... spores man..spores 😁
I know I forgot it
German is one of the official languages in Switzerland, so that may have been his primary language.
It’s strange that the open doors with glass panes have not banged in the wind and broken. Same with the open windows.
It’s such a shame how so many houses like this are dilapidating and empty when so many people could use them. 😞
And it’s so sad they cost too much these days
@@BigBankz absolutely
@@BigBankz Yes, but in the 70s and into the 80s (in the US) nobody had "new houses."

Not getting the new one on my phone. But I am from Yelm Washington State
Not only the price of the house, but it would cost a fortune to rehab
Careful Ethan.
Have you ever spent the night in one of the mansions?
The white “pulpit” is actually a bar. The room is the parlor for entertaining
1.31 I think The place in the picture is like a temple in Thailand
Thai language in the picture
Mr. Josh A Lang visits Thailand in 1949.

Can you sale the books?
So sad it is left to decay
Think about this: if you’re driving drunk or another person is driving drunk and get in a 2 vehicle crash. This crash can wipe out 2 families.
Please activate the subtitles in Spanish. Thank you very much

Any way you can research the history of these places and tell us!!??
I do what I can
I wish you would have shown the back side of the 'pulpit'.
I should have!
so sad to see this. Just goes to show that money is not everything
In the picture it appears to be a Thai temple and under the picture there is still Thai language😮
Yay like who puts a courthouse out in the middle of nowhere
No demolition

Hello everyone
They might have left because of the black mould. Too expensive to fix.
Death and Divorce are the main reasons these are abandoned.
Only if walls could talk
