For everyone's interest - some extra info on some of the stuff Lesley found. First, the map on the wall is of 'Vienne', which is not Vienna, but a Département of central-western France. The horses are all race horses, so it looks like the family were into breeding bloodstock, not 'training horses'. The Pleyel piano was made in Paris - Chopin had one. The old newspaper was about the Shah of Persia and his Queen Soraya, on holiday in Capri - they divorced in 1958, so the paper must be about 1960. The oval upholstered 3-legged piece is a fire-screen, to protect the lady's faces from the direct heat of the fire.
Michael, do you remember the Virgin Mary statue in white on the mantel? I have to look it up. I think they "trained" for jumpers/eventing and bloodstock. Lovely French manor wide wonderful doors late 1700s early 1800s? Beautiful place! Thanks for you information!
I've done a little more research - fascinating! The Schyler family are still strongly established in south-west France, and back in 1739 Jean Schyler (born in 1718 in Hambourg, Germany) formed the Schroder & Schyler wine (and spice) import/export business that thrives today as a major Bordeaux wine exporter. So for nearly 300 years they have been French citizens, and have called themselves 'Schroder-Schyler' since 1805. The house in the video was built by Eric Schroder-Schyler, who married Huguette, the daughter of Jehan, Count of Lastic St Jal. They had three children - a daughter, Valentine born in 1950; and two boys, Edouard (born 1953) and Jehan-Hubert (born 1954). Jehan-Hubert ('Jehan' in the video) married Martine Schwartz in 1983 - and they had three children. It is obvious that - as is customary in France - the house became home to a very extended family of nieces, nephews, and cousins. It is their 'remnants' that you see now . . . Sad to say, that I have been unable to find any evidence that Jehan became a priest. The "priest's cope" that Lesley filmed in the bedroom is in fact a ladies dress (in pink) with a satin outer cover. To become a priest in the RC church you have to a] be celibate (that's maybe OK - Martine had died some years previously); and b] you must renounce all of your worldly goods. This would certainly have thrown a spanner into the inheritance situation of the house & it's contents!
@@donnaschmink1801 The Virgin & Child statuette is well-spotted! I have no input - at first I thought that their crowns looked either Spanish or Italian. But centre-front of hers appears to be a fleur-de-lys - so that's French! Hope your research throws up something. Another unique piece was what Lesley referred to as a 'bed pan' in the 1st floor bedroom. It is actually a babies bath, set in a zinc-lined wood base on casters, at nursing chair height, designed to be able to lift it out to empty the water. I've never seen such a thing - marvellous!
The small set of stairs off the kitchen was for servents and the dummy body was for making clothes. They pin the fabric to it before sewing it together. A wonderful place. Thank you for showing it.
Thank you Leslie for not investigating paranormal. I am so filled up to the brim with ghosts, goblins, etc in homes, asylums, hospitals etc. you show the remaining beauty of structures, possessions, etc.
If you would buy this place you’d end up abandoning it just like this family did because these old uncared for dumps cost a fortune to run & if you want to buy it you most likely could afford it, just don’t ask a Bank for money to rehab it because they will tell you where to go...it’s a loser & a major money pit...people think this is oh so romantic & wonderful & then if reality hits I guarantee you that you wouldn’t take this for free! I lived overseas, they have tons of these types of properties....ask yourself why do they sit there rotting away?
@@sdmsdm7926 That is nonsense. These places(most of them) are quite fixable. Their most weakest points are the roofs and windows. The rest are built more solid than we build here in the States. The most costly fix would be a total roof replacement. Preferably to a heavy duty metal roof. The rest could be done a little at a time or one room at a time. To call these dumps shows what a clown you are.
I really think that staircase right next to the kitchen that led up to a room could be quarters for employees. This was filled with so many pictures and items well used. Even tho it appears a place filled with a happy family -it makes you feel sad!😔
I was thinking the same thing. 2 bedrooms over the storage area, and the first bedroom had what appeared to be an intercom box on the wall which added to my opinion. And I think the first bedroom may have belonged to a lady who maybe lived there with her daughter which explains the 2 beds and children’s items. Maybe a widow or abandoned mother
This French manor is stunning. I especially loved the framed photo of the little girl by the typewriter, the fabric fireplace screen and the brass beds. So wonderful to see how families lived and the things they had left behind but still so beautiful. Fabulous explore, thank you for sharing.
Your videos are great. Relaxing and interesting. So much to discover and learn. Make me wish I was super rich I’d start buying these old properties and fixing them up if allowed & possible
What a wonderful place! No wonder someone would find exquisite antiques, an elegant interior design, precious artworks and books in a French manoir! The English text in the room with the blue beds is from Ruyard Kipling's poem, "IF". Thank you for this great exploration, Lesley! Happy Easter to you and your family! 🐰❤🙏
Lesley what an outstanding tour. That was absolutely incredible. What a beautiful life they had there. So many gorgeous, antiques, and history. All the pictures makes me so sad. And that château was not that far gone that it couldn’t be saved. Really incredible. Thank you so much love and light from California.💜🤗🤟🏻🇺🇸
This beautiful home made me so emotional. 😢 🏠 ❤ To see all of these items that at one time were significantly important and now abandoned is so sad. Sometimes our belongings are only important to us. When we are gone they won't matter anymore.
You always impress me with your tenderness too the telling of families who may not be here anymore thank you for sharing your stories I love your videos ❤
Thanks Leslie for all the wonderful videos of abandoned mansions. I want to acknowledge that you are very professional and great videos. You do know how to manage the camera that it doesn’t make me dizzy. 👌
Believe or not, that Manor is restorable. I have been following 5 YT channels of people who bought Châteaus and are restoring them that were in the same or worse condition. It can be saved. 💖
Your explorations are so exciting and relaxing at the same time. They’re like those dreams where you keep discovering new rooms you never knew existed, lol. Im entranced.
pleased your back in france so much history in the buildings ..it hard to realise that after you have gone all thats left of you is a headstone and in some place pictures of you when you were alive a snapshot of a moment in time when you lived ..so sad
Thank you for taking us with you to these beautiful places. A very special House, no vandalism. Those bedrooms were simply amazing. Happy Easter to you as well 😉🐰
Lesley you caress these old homes with your voice. Thank you for loving these places and their memories as you do!!! Is a wonderful thing to have your voice to tell the story of those places. And caress them as you do.... I love you sir. ❤❤❤
Once people leave a home it seems it totally deteriorates so quickly. Not just the house but the surrounding garden. I really think a home is kept alive by the people.
One thing about those low doorways is that interior walls were load-bearing in stone houses back in the day. They literally supported the rooms above, so low doors and ceilings were a must.
Hello Leslie...thank u so much for a beautiful journey of a mansion. This huge house left behind a lot of memories and filled with tonnes of books. Amazing. Loved it and sad for the people who lived there😢
My God Leslie what a find ❤ thank you for presenting such a wonderful extraordinary home and telling us the story of the family that once lived there that has been frozen in time. Your charming character makes it even more enjoyable to watch 😊speachless
The bath tub is so tiny. I loved how the feet portion was lower and in the bedroom.....brilliant. The ceilings were clostrophobic. Thank you so nice for sharing ❤
It's absolutely amazing, like I've been transported back to a completely different time, far into the past. I hope that someone can restore this property and that the contents can be preserved. Thank you for what you show us Bros of Decay .
Very, very nice. The circle you run around the garden , in American English, is called a hula hoop. Thank you for being the respectful and kind person you are.
your introduction brought me to tears😭Oh GOD remember them, may they R.I.P. what a beautiful time capsule; it should be rennovated and turned into a museum or bed and breakfast so you can recreate their life like living histororicity.
Love this place and the old pictures, furniture and everything. This was wonderful and the history. You did a great job on this explore Leslie. Happy Easter
Hey thank you for all your hard work and videos that you have put out. I looked at the upholstered piece of furniture you pointed out at around 44.09. I believe this could be what would have been called a Firescreen. In earlier times when quite a lot of makeup was worn, this item would be placed between a seated person and a source of heat such as an open fire to prevent the makeup from melting.
Thankyou Leslie like a museum to bad someone could not restore this place. Everywhere has a story of time right. Just so so lnteresting all the stories you bring us sir thankyou you truly have, a gift hugs
Good man Leslie. I am glad that you saved the camera. Where is your assistant /security) to hold the camera or to make sure that no one enters the set?
What a beautiful time piece . Such a story thru all the items they have put together as a family and the world in pictures. This Manor makes me feel really good inside part of the past that they made back in time . I love to see Maureno in the begging and love you seeing you as well. Much love to you Leslie and i feel Honord to watch this video with you narating the story of the lives once lived here.Take care be safe .
Hi Lesley, That round upholstery thing was something you used so the fire would not burn your face when you sat in front of the fireplace. Absolutely adore your videos xo
I have always thought I was born n the wrong century. Since I was 8yrs.old, I had appreciation for old Victorian houses and 1700 and before castles. They all have so much to tell us about those who lived in them. I especially love the basements "tunnels." It's really interesting where the tunnels lead to
The toy is from an erector set - I had one! It had all sorts of parts so you could be creative. The first phonograph you found is a classic Pathe, from the Pathe Freres company. They are very desired by collectors, and it is intact. The records made for that machine would have played from the center to the outer edge, and gone as fast as 90 r.p.m. They were recorded with a verticle groove, raher than side to side, with a sapphire ball rather than a stylus. There would not have been a horn on that machine, but rather, the sound would have come out the front. Finally - the reason for the low ceilings is that since heat rises, it is easier to keep the room warm than with higher ceilings. Thanks for this gorgeous video. I do hope a family member rescues the pictures (and the Pathe!) or a a local historical society! Oh - the Pleyel was a fine French piano firm. It is now a step lower than it should be. It ismworth rescuing, too.
Hey dear Lesley, What an exceptional location in France! I rewatched your video, because on the lifestream evening on Easter-Monday I unfortunately missed the major part of your video. It was very exciting and highly interesting to follow you through the rooms of that quite impressive abandoned French manoir house. - I fully agree to you, that some of the intact rooms had such a strong timecapsule vibe with still beautiful furniture and a lot of interesting smaller antique items. - The old photographs were somehow very touching to see! Very touching in a special way was the background story of the horse tamer, who dedicated the second part of his life as a priest. - Lovely to see Maureno at the beginning of your video! - Wishing you all the best, bro, - peace, blessings and kindest regards.
Excellent job! That thing you called a "pet pen" at 30:12 is a commode - a chamberpot built into a piece of furniture - an early toilet. Also, you said they used a bed warmer (brass pan with a lid and long handle) by putting it at the foot. That's not quite right. They may have put a hot water bottle or a hot brick or stone at the foot, but the bed warmer was passed between the mattress and the covers, up and down and back and forward, but never just left there. To do so would have scorched the linens, or possible set them on fire.
Thankyou Leslie for all your wonderful Beautiful historic shows..Could listen to you all day its so interesting all the family history stories and beautiful furniture in all these amazing Homes...Stay safe out there...Best wishes from SCOTLAND..XX
What a beautiful Manor full of history. Hope that someone can save that place. It’s so beautiful and a great deal of antique that should be saved ❤ thank you Bros of Decay
It's called horse training. He was a horse trainer. Gosh, I would have loved to see the stables and any arena he may have used to train. The house is actually in excellent condition and can be saved. I hope the family sells to someone who wants to restore it.
It’s so amazing to glimpse into the lives of people from the past. I found myself saying “turn back open that door let’s see wats inside! I LOVED finding surprise bedrooms! So many beautiful belongings I’m sure people would pay good money for..some of books, collections, a cologne, the old record players, just amazing.
I want that complete mini bathroom for my room!(maybe even a converted garage, small mobile home, gutted out trailer, etc., but only for my use..perfect!lol 7:14
Buongiorno Lesley ..che bello rivederti insieme a Maureno.. Grande esplorazione una grande casa d'epoca è rimasta intatta tutto al suo posto ricca di elementi dell'epoca . Un vero peccato almeno il sindaco poteva occuparsi della casa lui credo non abbia avuto dei figli visto che la moglie e' morta prematuramente forse per il dolore è diventato sacerdote .. comunque anche i fratelli o parenti non hanno cercato di salvare questa bella casa antica .. Grandi carissimi alla prossima 💪💪💪😊🧡😘😘
I love history... and places like this are a real time capsule. Thanks for sharing... my grandmother used to say that fireworks were eye candy... I think your work brings candy too... for the eyes. 🙋🏻🍀🕊️😘
Wow wow! What a beautiful place, thank you so much! If you have more footage of opening drawers like you used to do, I'd love a bonus video of seeing inside those objects. Thanks for all you do!
Fascinante lugar de está mansión en Francia tantos objetos interesante de una grandiosa época pasada dónde el arte que había en todo los muebles, cuadros, accesorios y las fotografías antiguas, fue emocionante está historia de vida.Gracias Lesley es tan agradable ver a ti y Maureno juntos son encantadores, saludos a ti que estés muy bien.
Wow. What A time capsule. The rooms at 29:31, the older part of the house look like they were for the horse trainers or farm hands. The decorative screen on a pedestal was for ladies to sit behind when sitting by the fire. The screen would block their faces from heat so that their make up wouldn’t melt as it was wax based.
Happy Easter Lesley, I think the bedrooms up over the barn, were for the servants, of the farm hands, at one time. The sad part is always the pictures, especially when they are baby pictures. I have cleaned so much out of my house and donated it, so much stuff gets put into storage, never to be used again. So why store it, give it to someone who can use it now. What a great find, thanks for sharing. Love from N.Y.
Sadly, you didn't hear my urgent telepathic pleas to examine that glorious vase on the floor to the left of the desk, in that side bedroom with the bathtub (at 30:36 and 32:04). I was literally sitting here saying, "Look at the vase! Look at the vase! Look at the vase!" repeatedly, lol. I covet that vase, unashamedly. Other than your awful failure to hear me, lol, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us.
Thank you for this French manor I always love everything you show me sorry I try to write in English but I do my best. If I was capable to write a bit more I have so much to say but thank you for all the things that you show us thank you for sharing ❤💯👏✌Take care
Looks like the rooms above the barn areas were for those that tended to the horses or servants quarters due to their simple humble items, furniture, and smaller living areas. Still adds to the historical unique attributes. Great property!
How wonderful…the Property of a Horse Breeder Family…i love this House, it’s not so big like the big Chateu’s or Mansions but a beautiful Family Size, how sad that at the End he lived there alone….if I would have the Money I would buy and renovate this Place…awesome ❤❤❤❤
Hola Decay … una vez más muy feliz disfrutando tu histórico programa que nos traslada a tiempos pasados y vencidos . El Tiempo es el Maestro de todo. Saludos a Mos, tu compañero . Ustedes din muy bellos y preciosos los dos. Dios me los cuide, bendiga y les complazca en todas sus ilusiones lindos chicos. Insistan en ser realmente felices , con ustedes y con lo que hacen 🕊🌹🕊
This mansion got a large property , the house itself got so many small little rooms everywhere, the hallway is narrow with all the furniture they had along the way and they keep everything very simple all though the house, they are pretty much love basic simple life, very interesting indeed, thank you for sharing.
Never thought I would say this but Decay has such a beautiful look to it , when your in these amazing homes. Call me goofy but decay to a house is like patina to any thing else.
Maybe that messy room is where some family member started to go through some things and was overwhelmed and gave up. It doesn’t look like it had been vandalized. May also have been a family member or someone searching for something specific.
.muy bonita mancion, pero lo que más me gustó fueron los muebles,,aparte de las sillas, también había muchas ruecas, gracias por ésta exploración cómo siempre, nos vemos en la próxima ✌️
For everyone's interest - some extra info on some of the stuff Lesley found. First, the map on the wall is of 'Vienne', which is not Vienna, but a Département of central-western France. The horses are all race horses, so it looks like the family were into breeding bloodstock, not 'training horses'. The Pleyel piano was made in Paris - Chopin had one. The old newspaper was about the Shah of Persia and his Queen Soraya, on holiday in Capri - they divorced in 1958, so the paper must be about 1960. The oval upholstered 3-legged piece is a fire-screen, to protect the lady's faces from the direct heat of the fire.
Michael, do you remember the Virgin Mary statue in white on the mantel? I have to look it up. I think they "trained" for jumpers/eventing and bloodstock. Lovely French manor wide wonderful doors late 1700s early 1800s? Beautiful place! Thanks for you information!

Lovely manor. I’m glad to see it hasn’t been vandalized. This is a true time capsule. Thank you Leslie for showing us this beautiful home. ❤

What a beautiful mansion. I love all of the antiques . This is a true time capsule. Happy Easter 🐣 Leslie to you and your family.
Once people leave a home it seems it totally deteriorates so quickly. Not just the house but the surrounding garden. I really think a home is kept alive by the people.
Very true!
A house (or any building), without constant care, is going downhill way quicker than most people imagine....
One thing about those low doorways is that interior walls were load-bearing in stone houses back in the day. They literally supported the rooms above, so low doors and ceilings were a must.
Hello Leslie...thank u so much for a beautiful journey of a mansion. This huge house left behind a lot of memories and filled with tonnes of books. Amazing. Loved it and sad for the people who lived there😢

vibe with still beautiful furniture and a lot of interesting smaller antique items. - The old photographs were somehow very touching to see!
Very touching in a special way was the background story of the horse tamer, who dedicated the second part of his life as a priest. - Lovely
to see Maureno at the beginning of your video! - Wishing you all the best, bro, - peace, blessings and kindest regards.
thank you so much for sharing this wonderful world with us, you are so respectful, we really appreciate.Great love to you
Excellent job! That thing you called a "pet pen" at 30:12 is a commode - a chamberpot built into a piece of furniture - an early toilet. Also, you said they used a bed warmer (brass pan with a lid and long handle) by putting it at the foot. That's not quite right. They may have put a hot water bottle or a hot brick or stone at the foot, but the bed warmer was passed between the mattress and the covers, up and down and back and forward, but never just left there. To do so would have scorched the linens, or possible set them on fire.
29:30 so authentic. U are so right about that!
Thankyou Leslie for all your wonderful Beautiful historic shows..Could listen to you all day its so interesting all the family history stories and beautiful furniture in all these amazing Homes...Stay safe out there...Best wishes from SCOTLAND..XX
That piece of furnature, by the desk with the type writer on it, could have been for him to hang his coat and hat on.
The pictures and frames are so awesome. I wish someone would save them
This looks totally livable!!!
Leslie you are the best!! I love watching your videos. Thank you!
Dank jullie voor de video🇱🇺🍀🍀🍀🍀🫶🤝👁️👁️👍🙏🍁🌙🌜☀️🕊️🦶🦶🤙💋
What a beautiful Manor full of history. Hope that someone can save that place. It’s so beautiful and a great deal of antique that should be saved ❤ thank you Bros of Decay
Thanks!
Lesley, thanks for that great introduction of the virtual tour!
Excellent videos! the history in each property is fascinating, thank you for taking us by the hand through time. a hug from Mexico.
It's called horse training. He was a horse trainer. Gosh, I would have loved to see the stables and any arena he may have used to train.
The house is actually in excellent condition and can be saved. I hope the family sells to someone who wants to restore it.
Love to see his stud book too.
Não me canso de ver tanta coisas antigas. Uma cápsula do tempo encantada.
It’s so amazing to glimpse into the lives of people from the past. I found myself saying “turn back open that door let’s see wats inside! I LOVED finding surprise bedrooms!
So many beautiful belongings I’m sure people would pay good money for..some of books, collections, a cologne, the old record players, just amazing.
I want that complete mini bathroom for my room!(maybe even a converted garage, small mobile home, gutted out trailer, etc., but only for my use..perfect!lol 7:14
Beautiful and well chosen musical introduction Leslie.
Buongiorno Lesley ..che bello rivederti insieme a Maureno..
Grande esplorazione una grande casa d'epoca è rimasta intatta tutto al suo posto ricca di elementi dell'epoca .
Un vero peccato almeno il sindaco poteva occuparsi della casa lui credo non abbia avuto dei figli visto che la moglie e' morta prematuramente forse per il dolore è diventato sacerdote .. comunque anche i fratelli o parenti non hanno cercato di salvare questa bella casa antica ..
Grandi carissimi alla prossima 💪💪💪😊🧡😘😘
I love history... and places like this are a real time capsule. Thanks for sharing... my grandmother used to say that fireworks were eye candy... I think your work brings candy too... for the eyes.
🙋🏻🍀🕊️😘
Wow wow! What a beautiful place, thank you so much! If you have more footage of opening drawers like you used to do, I'd love a bonus video of seeing inside those objects. Thanks for all you do!
An amazing residence.
Breaks my heart to see such a fine property just left to rot with all it's heritage 😢
Fascinante lugar de está mansión en Francia tantos objetos interesante de una grandiosa época pasada dónde el arte que había en todo los muebles, cuadros, accesorios y las fotografías antiguas, fue emocionante está historia de vida.Gracias Lesley es tan agradable ver a ti y Maureno juntos son encantadores, saludos a ti que estés muy bien.
Loving your finds I had subcribe keep them coming and love your accent I'm from Nova Scotia Canada ❤
Absolutely beautiful! Love the floors and bathrooms. This manor could be restored ❤
Wonderful video! I loved seeing the vintage pictures!
Wow. What A time capsule. The rooms at 29:31, the older part of the house look like they were for the horse trainers or farm hands. The decorative screen on a pedestal was for ladies to sit behind when sitting by the fire. The screen would block their faces from heat so that their make up wouldn’t melt as it was wax based.
Happy Easter Lesley, I think the bedrooms up over the barn, were for the servants, of the farm hands, at one time. The sad part is always the pictures, especially when they are baby pictures. I have cleaned so much out of my house and donated it, so much stuff gets put into storage, never to be used again. So why store it, give it to someone who can use it now. What a great find, thanks for sharing. Love from N.Y.
Another beautiful documentary Lesley! I could listen to you forever. Sure wish you’d make more meditation videos! I just adore you honey. 🥰♥️🇺🇸
Happy Easter beautiful home lots of history thank you for sharing it with us
Out of all the homes you’ve explored, I think this one moves me more than the others. If only I could win the lottery and recover it.
Sadly, you didn't hear my urgent telepathic pleas to examine that glorious vase on the floor to the left of the desk, in that side bedroom with the bathtub (at 30:36 and 32:04). I was literally sitting here saying, "Look at the vase! Look at the vase! Look at the vase!" repeatedly, lol. I covet that vase, unashamedly. Other than your awful failure to hear me, lol, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us.
So cool 😎👍 I can't believe that place was abandoned you would think the Town would take it over and save it it was epic so glad you got to document it
Thank you so much for that tour... ill watch more when they are made !!
HAPPY EASTER..Mr.BROS---AM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO..I LOVE THIS..ALL VIDEO..SUCCESS and blessing for you and tiem---❤ from Indonesia-Asia🌷🌷🙏

Thank you for this French manor I always love everything you show me sorry I try to write in English but I do my best. If I was capable to write a bit more I have so much to say but thank you for all the things that you show us thank you for sharing ❤💯👏✌Take care
OLÁ SOU BRASILEIRA E ESTOU TENTANDO SEGUI-LO SEMPRE QUE HAJA TRADUÇÃO. HOJE ESTOU FELIZ VOU PODER ASSISTIR SEU PROGRAMA ENTENDENDO TUDO. OBRIGADA.
Hello I am from Mauritius,i just like your videos,here also we have got loads of abandoned houses.
Had to save and watch again, one more of my favorites .
Looks like the rooms above the barn areas were for those that tended to the horses or servants quarters due to their simple humble items, furniture, and smaller living areas.
Still adds to the historical unique attributes. Great property!
How wonderful…the Property of a Horse Breeder Family…i love this House, it’s not so big like the big Chateu’s or Mansions but a beautiful Family Size, how sad that at the End he lived there alone….if I would have the Money I would buy and renovate this Place…awesome ❤❤❤❤
Hola Decay … una vez más muy feliz disfrutando tu histórico programa que nos traslada a tiempos pasados y vencidos . El Tiempo es el Maestro de todo. Saludos a Mos, tu compañero . Ustedes din muy bellos y preciosos los dos. Dios me los cuide, bendiga y les complazca en todas sus ilusiones lindos chicos. Insistan en ser realmente felices , con ustedes y con lo que hacen 🕊🌹🕊
This mansion got a large property , the house itself got so many small little rooms everywhere, the hallway is narrow with all the furniture they had along the way and they keep everything very simple all though the house, they are pretty much love basic simple life, very interesting indeed, thank you for sharing.
Never thought I would say this but Decay has such a beautiful look to it , when your in these amazing homes. Call me goofy but decay to a house is like patina to any thing else.
wonderful and sad to see this place abandoned
Beautiful house but so sad to see everything left behind. Well done.
Maybe that messy room is where some family member started to go through some things and was overwhelmed and gave up. It doesn’t look like it had been vandalized. May also have been a family member or someone searching for something specific.
.muy bonita mancion, pero lo que más me gustó fueron los muebles,,aparte de las sillas, también había muchas ruecas, gracias por ésta exploración cómo siempre, nos vemos en la próxima ✌️
