As an architect and historic preservationist, this is sad to see. All is not lost, potentially. I have friends in the south of france who acquired a very large (90+ room) chateau in words condition than this one. It is becoming one of the most beautiful buildings/homes in southwest France. It is now listed as a Class 1 monument with Monument Historique. Thanks for showing this. Cheers-
I’ve seen some amazing restorations on shows like Restoration Home and similar when they seem lost to time and rot. The amount of funding required is significant though!
In Portugal ruins and run down buildings are everywhere.. some are amazing, historical and beautiful.. makes me so sad to see.. wish I had millions of euros so I could save them all.
Shame we can't have a EU fund to reroof all these old buildings.. just to give a bit of time until a new owner falls in love with the property.. buys a bit of time
It's really sad to see such a beautiful building so full of history literally dying before our eyes. Restoring it would be a 100% labour of love. I hope someone with the right amount of passion saves it for the future
Sorry to say Anna and Ed , THAT abandoned chateau chooses you, cries for your Love and care. Doing nothing looks like another abandon 😪😉😇. Saying that, it s unfair because I have no skills at all and no money just LOVE as you do ,old properties. Thank you for the tour and Many many respect for all the works you do in Bordeaux Life. All the Best Anna, Ed and family.
I believe that someone bought it. The gardener of chateau de la Lalande? Anyone know? I recognize the inside tree, but I’ve lost my link to see how far they got.
@@user-vb6gl6nf7c Are you referring to Chateau de Chaumont? His channel is "Escape to Rural France" here on TH-cam. He's about a year into renovations, and still has a long, long way to go. That one was destroyed by fire in the 80's... To the original post, this one's smaller size may actually work against it, as although it may be more suitable as a residence, the bigger chateau have more commercial potential for sustainability. Just ongoing maintenance has to be extremely expensive, and time consuming, and you need to find a way to pay for that or, like the previous owner, the property gets abandoned.
I can’t believe someone hasn’t saved this chateau it’s just beautiful. Love, love the tower and the bell is so cute. The fireplaces are amazing. The property is just beautiful. A tree could block the other bad property.
Hi Ed and Anna! Good to see you back. I always enjoy whatever you show us…..renovations, old chateaus, family and friends, weddings and Bordeaux life, and life in general around your part of France. Thank you for the interesting vlogs!
So good to see you both, it's sad to see this Chateau in a state of ruin, it would cost so much to bring it back to life. The problem with these old buildings is you can't tear them down and rebuild so at least the land can be revitalized, so the whole entire estate sits in ruin. Thanks for showing us this once beautiful place. Love from NY.
Thank you so much for sharing this castle and your analysis with us. From a lay perspective, it is astonishing to see how quickly (little over a generation) a centuries old stone building can deteriorate if the roof and windows are no longer airtight. No wonder architects are so conscientious about water. What a shame.
Heart breaking 😢 it needs someone like Dan from escape to rural France. His hands are full but maybe he has a twin. Thank you for sharing this beautiful old lady, May she find a savior.
What a beautiful chateau this must of been. So sad to see it in such a sorry state. Thank you for showing it to us. I wonder if someone will be brave enough to buy and bring it back to life!
Tam już nie ma czego ratować. Piękne miejsce ale ten pałac już się nie nadaje do ratowania. Nawet przebywanie w nim jest niebezpieczne. Zagrzybiałe mury.
So good to se you again Ed and Anna!! Hope all is well with you and your kiddos!! What a supergreat video!! A stunning chateau left to die. So sad, but so extremely interesting to hear you tell a bit about the story behind this once beautiful building. This was one of the most intriguing videos I've seen in a while!!! Please make more of these types of videos!! Ed, you mentioned that you knew of more abandoned chateaus, so let us see them!!😁👍 Thank you so much for a stunning video! Love from Norway!!🌞💕🌞
Several avenues and many streets in St. Paul have magnificent mansions, Summit Avenue being the most acclaimed. Detroit and many cities across America have abandoned and/or decaying mansions. Sadly, just like the great estates in England and elsewhere many of these fairy-tale architectural wonders are being lost.
Wholly Molly! If anyone can do it, it’s you two! Please please please make sure you have no other projects if you take this on! I think it’s officially a ruin. Thanks for the tour!
The stories these home could tell from the souls who built the home, servants who maintained the home and the families who celebrated, grieved, laughed and cried within those walls. It deserves to be restored and brought back to life
A restored 18th century building I lived in and loved for seven years during the 90s was sold by the owners and then inexplicably left to decay once again. I now after the past few years of watching these chateau channels understand their attraction for me. Perhaps it was the music or the shared sense of loss (the mystery of the former inhabitants over the centuries)but I found this a bittersweet film beautifully “Ed”ited and constructed. Well done.
Great to see you back, I think that one is too far gone, keep looking you’ll find something more structurally sound - we can all follow your new renovations xx
Woah. What a beautiful little chateau. Although I like the one you are currently re-doing better. That's just a guess, but I am in love with the current small chateau.
Ed and Ana I work in TV/film production in Ca. you should absolutely do programing on viewing these types of properties, what they would require to rehab is it a buy or pass depending on the level of construction needed. Tell us why it would be a pass or buy depending on $ time and or experience, what is the history of the architecture you are viewing etc. The fact you have in your wheelhouse of knowledge construction and what goes where and why you can explain that to people who are laymen who might be thinking of taking on a project like this one. I like that you did this video and you should do more of this! 🤗
Pleasing Memories of Bygone Times Some may find this video boring and irrelevant but a few like I was excited enough to carry on to the end and eagerly subscribe. My interest in it comes from my experience as a young teen living in a French chateau near Orleans in the late ’50’s and early '60’s. To my mind, you captured the essence of wonder imagining the past pleasures of a time full of natural textures no longer available in modern life. Thank you!
Hi Anna & Edd, really good to see you both. Hope the children are well. It is such a shame seeing a beautiful building left like that, but it's even sadder that people will come to vandalize and destroy what was left. I guess it wasn't for sale years ago, with all the people that were looking for chateau's to buy and fix up, but as you said Edd it is in an expensive area and it would take a lot of money. Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖
How did I miss this spectacular chateaux!! It is a beauty even in its ruin. If only I could be so lucky to restore such a masterpiece! It has so much potential. ❤
inheritance laws are very strict in France. And if beneficiaries don't agree, the succession can be in limbo for decades or even never be resolved... it's quite common...
Really glad you guys came on, I have been thinking about you and the Bordeau region, and all the news of surrounding fires! Glad you have not been affected by it! Glad you both are well! Ed, I think this chateau has seen its better days!
If I had more money than God, I'd love that place. I'm rooting for you, how lovely to bring that wreck back to being the beautiful home it deserves to be.
So good to see you both, We've missed you. Thank you for showing us this once beautiful chateau. The restoration part of me is very sad but common sense says its sadly so far gone. It is a lovely size chateau. Love the grounds also. Enjoyed.
I would absolutely love to see this home restored!! Step by step. Too many historical homes have been left to be torn down or let to fall down. It’s terribly sad. 💕🙏🙏
WOW!! I was wondering where you guys went !!! I know you’re very busy with the wedding business and your passion project but hey !! Didn’t see this coming tho I’m sure you must’ve dropped some hints that were missed!! Either way, can’t wait to watch, love you guys, you were always my favourite on ETTC DIY so happy days ahead 😊😎👍🏻
When I moved to Dordogne two years ago I used to shout 'chateau chateau' at every bend on the road until I got a crick in my neck. There are over 1000 chateaux in this region. These days I'm more like ' ok a chateaux so what's new' ? I am slowly visiting some of them but the heat has put a stop to that. On visiting the incredible Chateau Biron we almost died from the heat, pity we couldn't manage the gardens.
Excellent reportage! You were very transparent and told things the way they are. We thoroughly enjoyed your vlog and you gave us a major headache in trying to discover where the chateau was. My wife was restless, so I put other Saturday chores on hold and got working. Well, after a lot of private investigation, searching the web, we finally managed to zoom in. Wow. I agree with the architect who commented earlier, that someone who knows his business should be able to bring back this chateau to the glory it deserves. We will keep the secret, it was not easy to find. Now back to my chores. Well done, looking forward to your next vlog. Piero (Switzerland).
Great to see you both again... miss you but know that this is your busy season and glad that things have gone well for you! So sad that this chateau is in such a far gone state. It must have been beautiful in its day. Bless you!!
Beautiful lil castle 🏰 makes me sad to see it so broken and in need of care!! The time and money that it would take to bring her back is staggering but I sure hope someone out there turns this into their passion project.
Thank you so much for your channel. What love for the old history though I am sure during hard times for regular folks. I am a curious explorer too. I was fortunate to find my great great grandparents abandoned farm in Taughmaconnell Ireland. I wish we could have had more time to explore the old ruins. Last owners left in the 1980s.
Anna n' Edd, so GREAT to see you both... Anna I have to say, you look GREAT, at peace, rested n' happy.. you go GIRL! I know Edd you would have LOVED to buy the chateau, but your right it would take you YEARS n' a whole lot of money to bring this Chateau back to life... LOVE n' MISS you guys... LOVE from Chicago
If you ever hear of someone purchasing this forgotten Château please let us all know. Hope if purchased the folks will start a TH-cam channel so we can encourage them. Sad that the owners just left it to go like that.
I would pitch in to help save this place and restore it with lots of love and care. I don't have that kind of funds but I would love to watch each episode here and see it transform beautifully one room at a time.
I thought that the gardener of Chateau de Lalonde bought it and got rid of the tree inside. I don’t know how far he got. I’ve lost the link somehow. I wanted to see how far he got. Anyone know more? It has really interesting history. The video that I saw talked about children who were orphaned by World War II were brought there to heal.
Wow! Wish i had $$$$$,Escape To Rural France,is doing one now that was basically a burned out shell,he did every floor,trees growing out the top,replaced the roof,in a similar condition.I bet you and Anna could make this a stunner!😊
Thank you for the fascinating tour! It would be a miracle if someone actually bought the chateau since it’s in such disrepair. The views and location are absolutely amazing! Wonder if an architecture salvage company will try to save some of the beautiful structural elements such as the stone fireplaces, any salvageable carved woodwork and so on. However, it may be too dangerous to remove them since roof is so damaged. Wonder if it is zoned as a residential or commercial/residential property.
Anna is such a daredeveil, ready to go upstairs even after seeing that massive beam collapsed and the tub fallen from upstairs! Glad you were together and Edd said no way!
Good to see you guys, your vlog is my fav in its genre, so miss it when it doesn’t show up for a while ❤ You both treated this once beautiful old building with such respect, like it was its final hurrah ❤️
Fairy tale chateau, you must buy it ! Imagine that as an upgraded property to your wedding business 👍 It’s not totally gone new roof is about the only structural element , lots of work but simple work , you can do it Ed , you swan-song property and most likely very very cheap
Two serious issues with buying such. First, the local historical society will say its a historical site and will demand you restore the building according to their requirements, and maybe even require it be open to the public. Second It may well cost as much or more than a new replica building. You will possibly have to replace the entire roof because of centuries of rot and you will have to bring the building up to code in every way. You can also have toxic mold issues, etc etc. may be required to replace the dry wall of the entire building. So lots of possible or likely headaches in doing this.
The main thing I like about the castle is the land and how it sits in the land. Nice to be in the countryside. Very potentially pretty castle or chateau though.
Oh wow Ed and Anna what a beautiful chateau. So sad to it’s it in such a neglected state. I know you both would make this place so beautiful but I appreciate how busy you are with the business. This has Billy Preterick written all over it, as like you his restoration of these beautiful buildings is beautifully sympathetic. Perhaps when he’s finished the convent? 😆Much love to all the family. Xxxx
The chateau as it stands now is absolutely gorgeous! It would make a wonderful home for someone who appreciates the finer things in life. I would check out that large tree, however, sometimes these look solid but are not really safe and having something this size come crashing down would be dangerous. The owner of the chateau de Lalande has a very experienced tree expert who would know what to do.
This is definitely my fav abandonded chateau, location wise, view wise. this is the best thing for me, shame i'm still a student and i can't afford buying it, either way i would've definitely done it.
I miss the vlogs about your Passion Project but I hope you’re having a successful wedding season. Thanks for showing us this beautiful chateau. Hopefully someone with deep pockets will come along and save her.
It would be wonderful if you, or someone else who cares as much as you two do, would rescue this beautiful chateau. Sadly, it is too far gone to be rescued without spending far too much money.
What a fun tour! Sad that this chateau wasn’t sold when it was in better condition, as it seems it was just a few years ago. It’s the classic fairytale and you can see how beautiful it once was.
Bonjour Edd and Anna so lovely to see you both how I’ve missed your vibe mischievous banter wow the abandoned castle so sad crying out to be saved a billionaire passionate restorer the outside just lovely ginger puss loving the peace I’d love an update if you hear of this stunning castle Merci beaucoup my loves also happy the fires have calmed Have a fabulous weekend Abiento😘😘💖💖👌👌🌟🌟🍸🍸
I love listening to this couple.....no over the top ooohing and aaahing.....I love this and I love that!....just pure natural sounding people......my goodness some of the nauseating Barbies and Kens on other chateau channels could take lessons from yee.....such down to earth lovely people...

What a shame ! This beautiful historic château is going in to total ruins ! These visuals break my heart ❤️
@@FarmgirlFriday I came to say this same thing. It's not a total if Someone has Enough Money to spend on it!
In Portugal ruins and run down buildings are everywhere.. some are amazing, historical and beautiful.. makes me so sad to see.. wish I had millions of euros so I could save them all.

And Euros too!
I wish that person could be me. I’m in love with this château.
Omg... This roof looks heartbrakingly rotten.
The rooms will have lots of damage. Wet floors and wet walls.
Passion and lots of money to save by restoration
👍
This chateau is one of my favourites! Love the architecture and the size. Not to big. I can see it restored, just beautiful
Sorry to say Anna and Ed , THAT abandoned chateau chooses you, cries for your Love and care.
Doing nothing looks like another abandon 😪😉😇.

Why can't it be torn down when it is beyond hope of repair? Is it some historic preservation law?
@@commonsense2680 Yes, obviously
It brings tears to my eyes to see such great buildings going to ruin. I’d love to save everyone of them.
What a beautiful place, so sad to see a chateau in that state.
I would love to restore a place like that and live there. What a dream.

Such a beautiful chateau! It's a shame it was abandoned. And the tree lined driveway is so perfect!

Why was it not sold That is tragic what has been allowed to happen to what used to be a beautiful home most enjoyable video ❤️❤️❤️
inheritance laws are very strict in France. And if beneficiaries don't agree, the succession can be in limbo for decades or even never be resolved... it's quite common...
Back property taxes could be an issue as well as bringing the château up to code with new electric, plumbing and masonry could be substantial.
Thanks for a great vlog! Missed you all! Looking forward to hearing about the status of passion project💕🏯
Makes me want to cry. I never understand how could this be abandoned. Let someone live there to keep the building ALIVE.
Joyous, handsome, optimistic, ambitious, and energetic he is. Love it
This is so very very sad. What a lovely place. So wish someone would show it some love. Good to see y'all be safe.
Thank you for an amazing tour of a place that once was and still is beautiful.
I totally saw myself buying it, remodeling it and restoring it, but then I saw the neighbors!
Some of these old building are sadly too far gone. It is a shame. Thank you for showing this lovely building and what it once was.❤️👍
How sad to see a beautiful chateau in such a terrible condition it’s heart breaking, thank you Ed and Anna for sharing🇦🇺
Looking forward to you rebuilding it and bringing it back to its former beauty!!!
I'm french !
This château is the image of my country !
a true symbol
shame on us
Really glad you guys came on, I have been thinking about you and the Bordeau region, and all the news of surrounding fires! Glad you have not been affected by it! Glad you both are well! Ed, I think this chateau has seen its better days!

Mother nature doing her thing!
Nice to see the tour.
The mature Cedar trees surrounding this Chateaux are beautiful too. I would love to see what it looked like 50 or more years ago. So sad.
So good to see you both, We've missed you. Thank you for showing us this once beautiful chateau. The restoration part of me is very sad but common sense says its sadly so far gone. It is a lovely size chateau. Love the grounds also. Enjoyed.
The loss of such a gorgeous piece of history is heartbreaking!
I would absolutely love to see this home restored!! Step by step. Too many historical homes have been left to be torn down or let to fall down. It’s terribly sad. 💕🙏🙏

It’s not totally gone new roof is about the only structural element , lots of work but simple work , you can do it Ed , you swan-song property and most likely very very cheap
Two serious issues with buying such. First, the local historical society will say its a historical site and will demand you restore the building according to their requirements, and maybe even require it be open to the public. Second It may well cost as much or more than a new replica building. You will possibly have to replace the entire roof because of centuries of rot and you will have to bring the building up to code in every way. You can also have toxic mold issues, etc etc. may be required to replace the dry wall of the entire building.
So lots of possible or likely headaches in doing this.
What a beautiful project. So much potential... and so much work.
Thanks Edd and Anna, for showing us this video. It is sad, but hoping someone can take interest and restore chateau. Janice from Arkansas USA
Lovely place and worth saving 👌
I imagine the cost of the land the chateau sits on, and the huge cost of restoration, put even the deep pockets off.
The main thing I like about the castle is the land and how it sits in the land. Nice to be in the countryside. Very potentially pretty castle or chateau though.
Just started subscribing..fascinating stuff...looking forward to the journey !!
Oh wow Ed and Anna what a beautiful chateau. So sad to it’s it in such a neglected state. I know you both would make this place so beautiful but I appreciate how busy you are with the business. This has Billy Preterick written all over it, as like you his restoration of these beautiful buildings is beautifully sympathetic. Perhaps when he’s finished the convent? 😆Much love to all the family. Xxxx
The chateau as it stands now is absolutely gorgeous! It would make a wonderful home for someone who appreciates the finer things in life. I would check out that large tree, however, sometimes these look solid but are not really safe and having something this size come crashing down would be dangerous. The owner of the chateau de Lalande has a very experienced tree expert who would know what to do.
Wonder what it would sell for in this condition? Good to see you both back!
I found a few images from five years ago. Ed’s right, it was already too far gone. What a shame! Breaks my heart! Thank you for the visit.
This is definitely my fav abandonded chateau, location wise, view wise. this is the best thing for me, shame i'm still a student and i can't afford buying it, either way i would've definitely done it.
Bless you for the work you have been doing for repair and work on the properties
I wish you good luck! This really magic place needs to have loving owners again.
This chateau is why I appreciate people like you so much for saving these beautiful old buildings. ❤️ Thank you!
Amazing chateau. Glad you all didn't go up the steps!
I miss the vlogs about your Passion Project but I hope you’re having a successful wedding season. Thanks for showing us this beautiful chateau. Hopefully someone with deep pockets will come along and save her.
It would be wonderful if you, or someone else who cares as much as you two do, would rescue this beautiful chateau. Sadly, it is too far gone to be rescued without spending far too much money.
Yeah maybe 10 years ago it could have been saved, but it's beyond any reasonable cost/benefit analysis at this point.
What a fun tour! Sad that this chateau wasn’t sold when it was in better condition, as it seems it was just a few years ago. It’s the classic fairytale and you can see how beautiful it once was.
Good too see you again
Absolutely stunning chateau 🥰🥰
So heartbreaking to see what has become of it!!!
