1:21:30 is called a desert rose. This is however the largest and best preserved desert roses I have seen. I would love to add these 2 to my collection. I am from Namibia and we used to dig up the sand roses ourselves close to the desert. (Desert roses are formed in wet sand. They are evaporites where the crystal formation has occurred as a result of inflow of water containing dissolved calcium sulfate balanced by an outflow of water due to evaporation. Such minerals are used as indicators of arid climates during the time they were formed.)
DEAREST BROS OF DECAY , HELLO , HOW DO YOU DO ? THAT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT NO MATTER HOW VERY RICH YOU ARE , YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO YOUR GRAVE . I THINK AND BELIEVE , THAT ONCE YOU PASS AWAY , IF NOT GIVEN TO THE NEXT GENERATION , GIVE IT INSTEAD TO CHARITY . YOUR MEMORY AND KINDNESS GENEROSITY WILL BE REMEMBERED THE PEOPLE'S LIFETIME . UNFORTUNATELY , MANY , WOULD RATHER HAVE THEM DESTROYED , THAN GIVEN TO CHARITY . THAT'S THE TRUE TESTIMONY OF THEIR VERY OWN PERSONAL CHARACTER , GREED AND HEARTLESS . AND IF , THEY ARE REMEMBERED BY PEOPLE , IT'S ALL BUT NEGATIVE , AND GOD WOULD CERTAINLY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM IN THE TIME OF JUDGMENT . WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS , AND SWEET KISSES , FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY , " THE ROTHSCHILD'S . " FAREWELL MY SWEET AND HANDSOME DARLING . 😊😍😘
Do you at least try to gain permission before visiting these properties?
I love the music
🥰What beautiful treasures! ....
At the start of the video in a room you called a "Religious Sitting Room", time marked @ 11:51 You pointed to a three-headed figure with some sort of base...
THIS was actually part of a column...this decorative piece would have been at the top of a column...the three heads are of Angels 😇 ...
I love your virtual tours, you do an excellent, detailed tour of this place and many others
and it is really nice to be able to see things which normally most people wouldn't have the ability to see and experience the joy of learning about interesting places and thier fascinating treasures!
Thank you so very much! ❤
All the money earned and spent all the things that we have in the end we can’t take nothing with us, it’s sad but it’s reality
Yes everything is temporary 😔
Depends on how u look at it. I have seen angels reborn my nephew than disguise as an 18 year old plus kid working with me. I have seen 2 pack and easy e stand with me at Nathan's patio
The illunatie is all about the truth hidden in plan sight
Heaven now
@@darlenedunlap7650 You're a fan of Tupac and Eazy E but you don't know how to spell their names? I guess unless you're a 90s child you may not know how they spelled their names.
With that being said, the soul of a human being reborn back on earth and the material things they acquire aren't the same so I'm not sure why you chose to make that comparison. One has nothing to do with the other in the afterlife. Unless you're Ancient Eygptian and think being buried with all your worldly possessions will make you rich and comfortable in the afterlife. The attachment of material things and the rebirth of souls are vastly different subjects though. One is the attachment of things and the other of beings...The concept of reincarnation is nothing new, it has existed for virtually thousands of years...an entire religion is built around that theory... "Buddhism", you may have heard of it. They teach the subject of non-attachment to materialism and to people as a means of reaching Nirvana (A heavenly plane of existence). And yes, Angels do exist and do walk the earth from time to time, especially those needing to atone for sins against God and man. I agree with you that the Illuminati is about what's right in front of us. The very word Illuminati translates to "Illuminate" to see, to show, and to enlighten. The only issue is most people aren't ready to be shown or see and be enlighened.
@@Meriale46 woohoo 🙌🙌🙌 well said... You just educated me in so many levels!! Love it!!
this so called elite do not earn there money by working....9to 5
I find it heartbreaking to see these gorgeous places go to ruin all those beautiful things left to rot and you dressed fantastic for the part such a handsome young Man U seemed to fit right in
It so beautiful to see. Yet I'm finding it so painful to see this magnificent estate just sitting headed to further decay.
Hey Pamela, I agree and thank you for the compliment!
@@BrosOfDecay She's right! I agree with her! ;)

It's 0200 and I should have been to sleep hours ago. However I am enthralled in your video's! I Love how you dressed the part right away I noticed that. Your so careful and Respectful to every Antique. It's heartbreaking just to think all of this History rotting 😭. As you go thru I imagine the life that once filled those rooms and how the owner ones loved all of those art pieces.
You two truly have a gift and I for one will be happy to help fund more trips and video's! Well done to you both and God Bless you on your adventure's!
Although the love seeing the architecture for these old places, it saddens to not see them cared for. However, this one truely made me angry. As a history of art buff and student of archeology it was sickening to see the variety of cultural treasures being allowed to decay and disintegrate. So many items that belong in art galleries or museums. And quite frankly, many misappropriated historical artifacts that should be returned to the country of origin. I can't tell you how many extremely valuable items were there and for no one to care about preserving them makes me wonder about the nature of their acquisition to begin with. Thank you for finding and giving us a tour but seriously, please contact some nearby reputable museum's about the contents. Don't get me started about items on the table and that Madonna statue hidden away in the secret library room. I recognized Egyptian tools for mummification that if said country knew about, would trigger extradition protocol. Perhaps that's why no one has bought the place, the cost or repairs, mold removal and bringing up to code is too ambitious. Should be a government undertaking with archival endowments. Returning the African, Indo-Asian, Egyptian cultural artifacts is mandatory especially in light of the pathetic manner they are currently stored in. Such allocation is neccessary to the correct record keeping of not just art in one culture but the cultural history of all of us. Such important peices do not belong to a few wealthy people but to whole nations and the world.
I agree with all you wrote.
Well said.
Yo pienso que si estaban escondidos es porque eran robados los nazis robaron mucho en la segunda guerra mundial y estos artefactos pertenecen a más de algún museo se debería hacer público para que los países en cuestión puedan reclamar por derecho todo lo robado y devuelto a sus países de origen..
Every generation has things that need to be archived for posterity. Not for the few, but for the many who come after and want truth in history. Gods blessings to those who preserve for all humanity, unvarnished truth.
Why? This isn't your stuff. You didn't buy it. The owners have every right to All w it to rot. This uoug man is guilty of breaking and entering. He IS breaking the law. If I were to get angry, it would be the sheer hubris of thus young man.
Oh, I do hope someone is able to rescue all those invaluable treasures before it is too late!
I hope so too Christine!
@@BrosOfDecay have you notified anyone?
I’m going to try!
@@BrosOfDecay very vague.. tut tut
Someone needs to rescue this beautiful furniture. Surely the government could intercede in such situations and place the houses content in a museum.
I agree!
We’ve already inquired about that. I went to French Heritage and it’s not on their lust. Apparently those who own it are so wealthy they aren’t concerned. Maddening. Since people trash it.
@@juliacobb4355 What? Blah. The grandchildren of obscenely rich and recently deceased ppl are so annoying. They probably don't know how much awesome stuff is inside that place. I mean, if my grandpa died and left that behind, I would at least try to get some of the contents of the castle into a museum. Maybe fix the place up and rent it out as a movie set or smthg. I would keep that beautiful sleigh bed. I love those things. The carvings on it are so pretty.
lol The government is not interested, thank god
@@juliacobb4355 That is truly DISGUSTING ! As I always say, having money most definitely does not give you Class or a Brain. It just breaks my heart, that these Beautiful Antiques will be destroyed, If the owner does not care, Give me his name and I will contact him 😡
I simply cannot understand the love of collecting from the whole world being left to decay and exist no more. It is mind boggling and extremely sad to me. Surely, prior to accident or illness, some arrangements could have been made to protect these collections of artifacts and paintings. It is beyond belief that they couldn't be saved to be shared. Thank you so much, Leslie and team, for sharing them with us. Also, Leslie, in period costume, was greatly appreciated.
It is so incredible that a place like this still exists and that we can see it. Thank you for the outstanding narrative and explore itself. I look forward to more from you.
My pleasure showing you around!
Love watching,,,thank you
@@amybell8834 I love watching Leslie narrate these beautiful places. So wonderful especially witn snow that can hide alot of junk outside just rusting.
😊
All of these ancient buildings should become museums or national historic sites! It’s a win-win situation: the castles get the much needed renovations and people can make income from opening these places to the public.
You cannot make an income from opening such places to the public. Restauration costs are extremely high and the amount of entrance fees very low. If it were a good business, someone would do it.
@@bademstv1513 Fr
I don’t think ppl understand the upkeep cost it takes for these properties. So for you even brake even would be a task itself
There’s a reason why the monarchs had to have free labor slaves to make it happen back in the day😂
Renovations has to be done first.That will cost ten Million!
@@leancove9662 Yes, that's a reasonable amount for smaller historic sites.
you see the new reset is not interested in the glorious past but ....destroying IT and those who remember....?
I've seen a few of your videos now and I really enjoy them. I love how respectful you are with others belongings. I also love how you make it fun by dressing up! It is so heartbreaking to see places fade away and no longer cared for. It makes me angry to see places vandalized or you can tell someone has taken something. And then I worry for things that are so valuable. I don't know if you can do anything to protect them, but if you could? Thank you thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to see more!
I can not believe all the things are just going to stay there and ruin, so sad 😞
I understand and admire your honesty in not damaging or stealing things. However, in cases where artifacts are on the brink of destruction or in buildings that are OBVIOUS cases of abandonment (not this castle which is still in great condition) my gut wishes that someone knowledgeable WOULD save/take/steal the objects. At least if stolen they would be preserved and eventually find their way into the hands of people that would appreciate and preserve them. Many will disagree with me. That being said, your videos are super!
I explored a lot of places around the world and saw many beautiful artifacts go to waste but this made me cry :(
@@BrosOfDecay oh my god
@@erichgroebe2646 I agree with you! Better that, than just being left to go to ruin and rot! :(
@@erichgroebe2646 I agree, and if the story and history can go along with the artifact, all the better preserved.
I feel like you had permission to be in there. A few reasons. 1 the lawns taking care of. 2 it's seems to clean for sitting for 5+ yrs. 3. You usually touch and open more things. Either way it was a great video. 👍 keep up the good work.
I agree with you. There must be owners with interest in that property. Yes, too clean to be abandoned. Burglars would have taken all those gorgeous wooden figurines and oil paintings and made money...specially in the situation Europe is facing....
Why would they mow the lawn though and leave a gaping while l hole in the roof for everything to get wet and moldy?
Did it get turned over to the government and up for sale
I was highly impressed with your “Period Dress”! yet disappointed that you didn’t wear Gloves! and when I witnessed you breaking an article I was mortified! It’s not necessary to disturb some of the Delicate Articles! That’s why Camera have ZOOM lens!
Everybody makes mistakes it is all rotting into the ground. Get over yourself. I'm working cerned with what he's breathing. He's always been very respectful. Maybe you could donate some money for gloves and a proper air mask for the black mold growing all over the walls
I wish I would’ve lived in these times. Books, candle light in the evenings no television no phone. It’d be so peaceful…
Those paintings on the wall are called ‘frescos’, the tiles are likely from an old chapel, or the original chapel within the grounds. The wood and paper on the wall near the wooden statue with the rosary, are very old religious artefacts and prayers. The boy holding the cross with Maria is baby Jesus. The little boy in the paining with the collar is either lord Fauntleroy or an ancestor. The rugs in the wall are medieval tapestries and I think telling everyone the former owners name only opens the place up to looting and theft. The mirror with the painting is called a Turneau mirror. The phone is phone from the war, that soldiers used in battle. I doubt this property has been abandoned if the house is being cared for. It looks like you had permission to film too. The man was an eye doctor and the kit you picked up was for looking at the behind the cornea.
Loving how appreciative and respectful you are of the property and the belongings within. Lovely find. Just hope this can be preserved, saved and not looted. Lesley has a lovely calming voice for presenting this too.
Yes. Additionally, the "rugs" on the walls are tapestries. The first thing I saw in the library looks like an exquisite Tiffany chandelier which was my fave.
Thanks Karen
Thank you beautiful! Bless you. Xx
Totally agree!! His, best episode yet!! I want to thank you for your observations, as I too am very detailed and many of your explanations answered many of my questions!!! God bless ❤
Yh I think the place is being looked after as all those things would have been taken by now the first room the table and chairs doesn't fit the space, in front of the fireplace and that side table in front of the door on the right that wouldn't be there either. I'm surprised a family would build something this small the proportions are not big enough or grand ideas the hallways are only big enough for one person wide
Guys I really hope you consider wearing respirators indoors in the future. That's some serious black mold in that house and it's very dangerous. I'm sure others have mentioned this on here but I couldn't help but say something. Keep up the good work and take care of yourselves!
Watching this reminds me of how the old saying goes. You definitely can't take it with you! The most important possession you have, is not your Worldly possessions, but your Soul, which is actually God's! Thank you Jesus!! AMEN..
I have several things to say… (1) I’m 56 years old - just wanted to give you an idea of part of your fan base. 😉 And you are only one of three channels I watch regularly because I enjoy it so much. In the rabbit-hole world that is TH-cam, I mean that as a major compliment. (2) I LOVE that you dressed up in a period clothing for this one! ❤️ (3) Those “hanging rugs” are actually called “tapestry”, and those tapestries you showed looked to be in amazing condition - just needing to be cleaned. They can be worth THOUSANDS of dollars if not in the millions, depending in how old they are, their condition, of course, and whether or not they are handmade, which can take years. (4) You picked up a small trinket box towards the beginning and said it had marble inlay - that looked like ivory, which is MUCH MORE VALUABLE than marble. Which leads me to number (5) I truly enjoy your passion shared in these videos. You should do yourself and your audience a real service by taking some Art History & Architecture History classes. If that’s too much for you, you should, at the very least, purchase some quality books on the subjects for your personal library. You sound like you would really enjoy & benefit from understanding what you are looking at. (6) Last, but certainly not least, I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you leave these beautiful abandoned homes as you find them, and respect the property within. 🙏🏻 Oh, wait… one more… LOL (7) Your videos are really improving! You should do this professionally - if there is a profession for breaking & entering, LOL! Peace, Blessings, and Happy Travels, xoxo
Thank you, and your team, Lesley, for the incredible time and effort you put into the tour of this Castle, and every location you visit. I can see just how much you respect the lives and culture of these people and places. It truly is a privilege to be able to glimpse into the lives of these amazing people. Thanks again.
I have a thought for you Lesley about the ragged man In the painting. Do you think it might be possibly St. John the Baptizer ? He is depicted ragged , unkempt in camel's hair as he lived in the wilderness.( I know there are alot of Biblical figures throughout ). Thanks !
So what the government do with those place can restore and look very beautiful so what the government do with them
Leslie, I really like to watch your videos but if you exploerer such an amazing place you shouldn't give information of the owners and specially not when the place is so filled with so many beautiful things like at this place. I was able to find out in 5 minutes where this place is and others, with more dark thoughts, will find out too. For me history was always important and I wouldn't like to see this place taking over by vandals or much more worst people who steal everything inside...if you find such a valuable pace you should let know authorities so they can protect a place like this...don't you think so too ?
These magnificent homes must be preserved. We live in a world that is too quick to tear things down and make a parking lot or build an IKEA or a WALMART.
yoyo ghosTs everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Duncan 👻Booo!!!🪀🤣😂
Hope you all don't mind my time stamps. An amazing video! Thank you. This family traveled a lot! At 16:53 there's a brass sextant on the table for navigation on ships. I'd also like to know more about the tall glass floor vase in the corner. 27:43 (Murano, Italy? Maybe). I've never seen anything like it. It would take great skill to create something like that. . At 33:49 there is a rotating cigarette dispenser on the top of the desk (when you turn the top the doors rotate out) At 40:45 on the lower shelf, there's a Blue Willow Patterned Platter. At 44:21 you'll see the Blue Willow Soup Tureen to match. (They are from England and are 1800's pieces) At 44:51, Where the wood stoves are now, that area most likely was entirely a fire place at one point. The item on the table at 01:21:31 is called a desert rose (Selenite), it looks like it may be on a slab of petrified wood or agate. As an artist myself, I could spend days examining all of the artwork and trying to figure out the artists that painted or sketched them. Thanks again Bros of Decay.
Thx for referencing and labeling items!
Thank you so much for the information.... I would love to know the history behind every single object and piece of art. Although how one family can acquire such a vast and varied collection arouses suspicions and makes me feel uncomfortable even though I loved every second.
Thank you so much for letting us know what’s what as it adds even more appreciation of this video.
@Griffin Art
Thank you, and I doubt people mind at all but instead appreciate the information if they don’t know it. I’d be interested to hear your take on the library with its war artifacts and photos, and especially the pieces of wood. Those meant a great deal to that man, or perhaps his father. The Latin pages on the wall are intriguing as well, but that photo of a crowd, with men in turbans or another style of headdress plus the pieces of wood are very telling of something historical. I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s past this, but it brings to mind ‘the great game.’ Or some Indian uprising, I should think.
Perhaps the wood is from a significant cross or from a church?
This is an absolute gem. It’s really a shame to see a beautiful place like this just rot in place. All of the art work has to mean SOMETHING to SOMEONE! Why can’t the city step in and restore it or contact the family and if they don’t want it they could Offer it to a museum. Anyway thank you so much for what you do.
Someone is still taking care of the grounds, also seems as if the place gets dusted periodically. I would've expected so much more dust if it hadn't been touched in 6 years. Enjoyed the video, wonder how'd they decide where to sit with so many options 😂😜
Yes and the lawn is also machine cut
And imagine if you're looking for one of your spouse or one of the children. A lot of walking and/or yelling trying to get someone's attention.
Especially back in the day before cell phones 😂
I agree. So many options. I know i'd be relaxing in on of the beautiful chaise lounges.
@@la1344... They knew how to get around, People still walk a lot in Europe.
Is this place truly abandoned? Or is it under court ownership? Is it being fought for by heirs and held up in court battle? Seems no one in their right mind, would leave this stuff and property to decay. Can you tell us further ? Very nice video indeed - From SoCal, USA cheers :)
Any money that could be left to any heirs , by selling items in castle, will be eaten up by ants snd destroyed by weather snd time!!!
Bros of Decay, it will be nice if you made a video as to why so many homes are left behind and forgotten and why the families do not claim them. So much history on this beautiful castle and just forgotten. So sad 😢
I am a new subscriber and I am already addicted to your videos 🙋🏻♀️🥰
I hope you were kind enough to close everything back up. The other explorer I watched was respectful and closed up all windows and doors to slow down the decay and possible deter theives.
Can you please provide more information, especially the name of the family and the last owner? Also, to echo someone else’s comment, I’m very interested in hearing why these places are abandoned and, as in this case, probably still being cared for. Can you contact and work with scholars on abandoned houses such as this to provide more information?

It’s one thing to see individual items like this carefully placed in separate display spots in a museum, but it is a whole new level of intriguing to see them all placed together in the way they actually were used or displayed for day to day life. It feels cohesive and real in a way that can’t be achieved looking at items sitting separately inside a display case. It’s just too bad that the decay is setting in when they’re like this.
I would love to see an appraisal team come in and analyze all the Artwork and artifacts! They just might faint! I bet there are so lost works of art in there. Hope they are saved before they are ruined or stolen.
It would be nice to have a follow up video as to what has happened after this discovery, if anything
Clean it out and open an antique store in the US people would go crazy to get their hands on these and it is better than just letting them rot away.
Totaly agree with you, im a retired art dealer and they are many many good quality paintings hanging there..Need a closer look and saving..
I recognized one of the paintings to believe to be a million dollar painting
Some of those chairs and desks/dressers are worth tens of thousands also. It's upsetting to see them ignored and forgotten.
Isn't this an appraisal for those with an eye, a bent, a removal van or two and a list of customers ¿?
Seems like a total waste of historical furniture, mirrors artwork is beautiful
😭
Not a thing is wasted here with your tender respectful touch and glimpses of time gone by .. This palace has been left intact for posterity. We are so privileged to have you to escort us around. Thank you again for another gem of a tour.
That place looked like a Museum... with all the paintings and art effects in there as well as antiques it must be worth quite a lot of money. With all the black mold growing everywhere it may have been a health issue and so they had to leave as exposure to black mold can kill you over time. At the least, make you extremely ill with respiratory illnesses. Even short-term exposure can have repercussions on your health so you may want to consider wearing a protective mask so you don't breathe it in. It was an absolutely beautiful time capsule well worth showing and as usual, you did a wonderful job of bringing it to the world. But always place your health first, not the entertainment of others. With that being said, thank you Leslie for bringing us this amazing castle to enjoy. God Bless.
You are so much more respectful than some other videos I've seen. You take the time to admire the artistic qualities, paying attention to details. You don't say how "creepy" places are. Thank you for tours of such magnificent places.
But it is enter people houses without permision, and maybe some breakin?
But i like the video's also
All the histories, the lives lived and lost, the stories told and untold.... These places are amazing part of history.
So enjoyable to watch. I've been watching you for a long time and love how respectful you are to these wonderful abandoned places and honor the people who once lived there
This is by far the most exquisite palace you have taken me to. The beauty of the petit point upholstery of the love seat and chairs, the carpets, the art work. The beautiful Venecian glass chandeliers. This palace not only shows wealth, but refined taste
This was such a wonderful experience that you gave us, from the way you dressed your calm story telling to the enumerate treasures you showed us. I agree this castle should be restored and made into a museum. Thank You so much! 😄
Thank you Leslie for taking us on the tour. Its a shame it may not be saved. That family were serious collectors filling all those walls with priceless art. What a treasure we can see it before it is too late. They were also great decorators.
You need Danny! The guy filming doesn't know how to interact with you. Seems mean on his part. You deserve better!
Wow, I like how you're dressed. Men should dress like this again. Way more classy and tasteful. Lovely video and beautiful details in the castle.
This video recalls old romantic times.
But how romantic was life of the people indeed? If some of people would be rich, many others must be poor...
...Victor Hugo "Les Miserables"...
Yes they should..looks so appealing.
Same for the woman too.
I felt one with the castle with this attire on :) Thank you for the compliment
@@susanbrown2909 I think so too. I am very lucky to own some original clothing from the Edwardian era.
@@BrosOfDecay you looked awesome and I thought when you didn’t want to be seen on the roof. They might think they were seeing a ghost by the way you were dressed.
I would have closed the window where the pidgins were getting in. I’ve been watching your videos for years. Thanks for taking us along.
This house is full of history, it looks like the owner was an archeologist and historian. All the contents in that house museums and libraries should save them. You look so handsome dressing like Napoleon Bonaparte! Thank you for sharing this video👍.
He was a dr and a collector .
He was definitely adding to the house. Lol
Yes definitely a collector of artifacts, he truly did look the part.
Archaeologists are not treasure hunters.
That was absolutely amazing! The amount of valuables in that place left behind is mind-boggling, I thank you for bringing us on this tour 👍☮️
I think we have to realize Leslie is a person of integrity hence why he wouldn’t dream of taking anything. I’ve watched him for a while now and he is very respectful of all items. Even in big homes strewn with garbage, he will carefully handle items,now with gloves on. He’s trying to make some things come to life, so often he tries to make educated, and uneducated guesses as to their purpose . He enjoys learning about historical artifacts and so he’s always open to correction if anyone knows better than him.
I agree
Ditto! I would trust him alone in my home when I’m gone. But I have a feeling there would be little interest in exploring an apartment. L😂. He is amazing.
At 14:20, the “sort of telescope” that you refer to is called a theodolite - a precision instrument to measure angles and used for surveying land. That one on the desk is one of the earliest versions of what civil/survey engineers used in the olden days.
It's interesting to think about the last owner, how eccentric his interest in collecting and studying things. I wonder what he was like. He might appreciate someone giving a tour of all the things he has collected over his life and capturing a snapshot of his world frozen in time. You can't take any of it with you, but I hope this all finds its way to new appreciative homes.
My God, I've never seen such a magnificent example of history. It is a crime against humanity to let these antiques go to ruin.
I believe this with every place that is abandoned. It is a crime to let it all rot. Beautiful antiques. Hopefully someone will rescue a lot of it.
It’s so sad. A place like this needs to be taken care of well and kept as a historic museum
I can’t believe it’s still in almost original condition. Here it would have been looted and destroyed. Seeing this is just incredible. Such a lovely tribute to a time gone by. No words.
It has since been looted unfortunately.@@kwclove7623
I love the way he dressed for the occasion😍😍also love his voice and accent.
Thank you darling :)
This castle is beautiful i love to be there
@@BrosOfDecay Thank you for taking the time to really show us the property. The large wall hangings are called tapestries ... hand woven pictures ... here in the U.S.
he such a noble✨
The intro is off the chain awesome! Very Dramatic and the info on the owners, artifacts, architecture is delivered so beautifully. The history of of the times with info on the towns etc is so nice to know, opening our minds eye of the daily lives of the people. Thank you all so much for the footage and music that is put together so professionally. You guys rock!
This one is killing me ! Extremely heart breaking. I only wish I could afford to buy this a restore. And keep everything where it is ! Can’t say enough. Your best one ! By far guys
yeah, kinda wish I could see the family actually living within the walls of this castle. Their remnants surely tell a tale!
If youngsters discover that this is empty, the consequences are ....let's say a drama (steal everything and destroy it with grafity etc)
Actually, France is a lot different than us heathens in America
I don’t understand why the French government can’t take eminent domain over some of these places or at least the artwork and artifacts inside. It truly is SUCH a tragedy that so much historic artwork and collectible furniture is just being left to the ravages of time 😞
I know what your saying , but the government doesn’t deserve it.
The current owners should try and sell it it's wasting away the water coming through roof Nd ceiling
@@kookyjoeb5524 so in your words let it rot over it going to the government that represents the people.
@@TheAnonyy but they won’t because usually they are bickering amongs themselves
@@ireneswackyjournals8810 this government does not represent the people. Wake up.
Heartbreaking that this fabulous artwork is being left to decay! You would think museums and art dealers or the state would step in.
There are still missing pieces of art stolen and hidden by the NAZIs prior and during WWII. Who knows, maybe some of it lies beneath our very own noses in places like this.
Beautiful job once again of presenting these historical gems.
I thought the same thing. Some of the totems and religious items looks like they perhaps belong elsewhere as well.
Absolutely nazi stuff, I thought the samw thing
I agree. Paintings may have been sold on to people after WWII. All art work needs to be looked at carefully. The Monuments Men in the USA are still on the search for missing artworks.
Most of that stuff should be in a museum. Some of that art work is priceless.
This place is one of my absolute favorites....I have watched 20 times, I never get tired of seeing all the artwork and paintings... thank you so much for sharing it with me....
Agreed. I've watched this episode several times. The artwork and artifacts are incredible. I just know those African artifacts are ancient and would be beloved if returned so they can be put in a museum.
❤love this one a lot! It may hold the #1 exploration and I have watched this year, 2024, 8 years. I do enjoy the very old castles with old furniture too. ♡♡
Such an incredible young man. Your parents must be super proud of how you've turned out! Just having an appreciation for others lives, respect for their belongings and your humbleness is a rare treat for others!! I love watching your videos!! Have you ever collected any of the pieces to keep something for yourself? It would be so hard for me to leave without taking a token to care for. I hate that most of that beautiful art and furniture will be either stolen or decayed. 😢
by the likes of you
if there's no owner, why not....nothing lasts, so why not let the living appreciate and make use of it rather than let it sit there and rot....thats what I call wasteful
After seeing this, I know for certain that I want to get rid of all the junk in my life and live as a minimalist. What a waste!
Me, too. Watching all of these videos has inspired me to get out the things that I have in boxes and to use them instead of leaving them in boxes to be found after I'm gone.
I have already done that :)
You are correct! I don't want to burden others having to clean/pack so much of my stuff. :(
I'll take your stuff!
... It depends of your out look of life, probably it made perfect sense for the home owners of the time.
Yes, you are a fine young man. I appreciate the way you tell your story without the over-the-top drama. I love the way you address the camera/cameraman like you are speaking directly to your audience. You do present yourself and your explorations in a manner that makes your audience feel drawn in and real-time. I respect you for the manner that you handle property so gently. I enjoy all your presentations. The costume was a nice touch. Keep up the good work. You're a natural.
This place is so gorgeous that it makes me want to go through it with bleach and clean away all of the black mold and then with a bucket of murphy's oil soap and clean all of the beautiful wood furniture and make it look new again! And Lesley, I LOVE your costume, it goes so well with the video! Nice job!! xo
I would love to come over to help you cleaning.
Hello Stephanie.....
I'd even bring the Murphy's, love the smell of it.
It’s sad to see the disrepair when a good scrubbing would go a long long way!
Sadly, because of the black mold, it is a very unhealthy environment. Breathing the air and disturbing the mold can make a person very ill. Even sadder is the fact that nothing in this beautiful place could ever be salvaged.
This one of the most INCREDIBLE places I've ever seen!!!! 🥰😍🖤 I LOVE this castle, and especially the framed paintings!!!!
Explomo or Bros should take you Danny!
Thank you my friend :)
It's NOT a castle. This is a CHATEAU .
You found an incredible place here 🌺
Just one thing, though - - At 52:39 - you said, 'This is a Grand Piano'.
That is not a Grand Piano at all. It is known as an 'Upright Piano'.
The place,
Leslie's presentation,
The length,
This is not just a video, it is an Epic.
I amazes me that it was abandoned. There is hundreds of millions of dollars of artifacts in there. The African art and carvings need to be in a museum. The paintings are unbelievable. Lovely video.
Nice words Charlotte , how are you doing ?
Nice words Charlotte , how are you doing ?
The entire castle should be a museum and kept in good condition.
Fico imaginando de onde vinha tanto dinheiro. ☺️
O número de obras de arte impressiona. Quadro maravilhosos. Será que ninguém vai resgatar.
I have such mixed feelings about all of these videos. It's truly wonderful to see the beautiful architecture and history and to have these intimate glimpses into peoples' stories, and to wonder about who they are/were. But it both saddens and repulses me. I feel that way because of the seeming waste of such beauty. But I also feel saddened and repulsed by the sheer volume of stuff. I don't think stuff is good or bad - it's just stuff. It's decay is inevitable. We all return to dust and there is nothing we have that isn't a gift from God. But can you imagine the weight of responsibility for all of it? How many thousands of books, artifacts, artwork, vases, china, furniture, carvings were accumulated over the generations? And all of it just sitting there, abandoned, useless, rarely admired. It's like a graveyard. I for one could not live that way, even if I were the richest person on earth.
You are absolutely right, the previous owners collected too much stuff, if I bought this castle I would put up almost all of the paintings for auction and use the money to restore the castle.
It saddens me the great art works just being wasted. So many communities could be enjoying them in their towns telling the history. The other side of me sees the division there is between the wealthy and everyone else. They grow up with that silver spoon in a reality unknown to the rest of us. And with great wealth it's easy to walk away from something like this and not really care.
Those textiles hanging from the walls aren't rugs, they are very, very, early tapestries. Incredible. Well done!
They seem to be the same type tapestry rug in a plantation home in Louisiana / We were told that they were out lawed due to the women going blind making them
The are in a Plantation Home called Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie Louisiana
They make me think of the castle of King Henry V111. Covered in taperities. They looked like they did alot of traveling, all souvenirs. Very beautiful, you look very handsome in your dress. Thanks so much for this exploration!!

Somewhere thete is someone who owns that. Sometimes it takes years to track down distant family. You look spectacular in 18th century attire. Very Handsome. The previous poster was correct you would love taking Art History in College. I can see you potentiality teaching it someday. I love the longer videos. Thank you
🤗
The big wall rugs are called Tapestry’s
I was reading down through the comments to see if anyone else bothered to tell him that they are tapestries and not rugs! But what I really love is that your handle is "Harley Davidson" and your picture looks like someone you'd never want to meet in a dark alley...yet YOU were the one to tell him what they were! Love, love, LOVE that!!! Ride on and keep blowing apart stereotypes. 🥰
I too was amazed he referred to tapestries as "rugs". He should know better.
Also, the picture of the man holding up his arm is Charles de Gaulle, he was president of France from Jan 1959 to April 1969. That photo is famous and can be found when doing research on France, World War II and DE Gaulle's the many offices he held.
Yes. Nd tapestries are trendy now..
@@brushcreek42... He May speak various languages and the translation could be rug.
What a magnificent find!😍
I feel like I went on a tour of the titanic. ♥️✨ I pray one of the family members comes back to fix the damage and live in it. It’s too beautiful to let decay and leave standing.
I'm sorry but if it was me in that castle I'd be picking up everything that's nocked over & dusting as I go along, picking up every piece of paper & puting it neatly away. What a beautiful castle!!! My heart goes out to all of these places, how can anyone not love these homes.
Hahahaha. Me too! It is a terrible shame, that all those beautiful antiques, are just rotting away. Why didn't one of the historical societies from that province, clean it up for tours, and use the money for renovation?🤔
Clean up? Put away? Are you serious! That’s History! Not to be disturbed! Mother Nature will eventually clean it up if the Owners don’t! Thank God vandalism hasn’t reared it ugly head!
Если бы мне довелось побывать в это замке, я бы присвоил самое ценное, а остальные вещи продал с аукциона и получил прибыль.
This is like a fantastic dream! I feel the air of elegance. This is beyond incredible! And the fact that you dressed in period costume!! Nice added touch. This IMHO is your best to date video ever. Surreal! 🇨🇦❤️
This tour made me speechless. So sad and beautiful, a crime that these exquisite artifacts are crumbling and being lost, Thanks for sharing your visit, this has been my favorite your so far!
I love the sound of his voice. It calms me. There is also something magical about stepping back in time. 💗
The room right off the entry way or foyer would be a salon or game room, not a dining room. And the 'emblem' in the fireplace is called a Coat of Arms. Also I would add the photo of people saluting looked like Charles Degaul and those portable phones were most likely from WWII.
Hello Cathleen....
Looked like Humbert
I love the way you feel/imagine that you are in the area of this period. You even dressing in the correct time period. You have such class. You put together your videos wonderfully. Love the music, well, just everything ya'll do putting videos together .
I’m lucky I found this site because I love watching old castles like this, thank you
Lesley for giving me or everyone a chance to see all these
Hey guys! , Just wanted to congratulate the entire team of Bros Of Decay for showcasing such extremely rare and magnificent castles/mansions but also highlighting the neglect which these places are going through, I sincerely hope that the Ministry Of Culture (French Govt) comes up with a plan of rescue/conservation!
Best wishes from my side!👍🇮🇳
WOW What a place! And I loved the intro, where you are sitting at the desk in the attire they used to wear. It looks like you live there! Also love the cinematic drone shots with the music, like it's from a movie. Amazing video! I can't believe this doesn't have more views. I am definitely subscribing and am going to Binge watch your videos for quite awhile now.
A museum should be told about this place. This needs to be preserved if not the castle then definitely the art work and artifacts
It may be in family probate in court. If so, it can take a very long time.
What an amazing find! As the old saying goes, "You can't take it with you," and ultimately, time catches up with us all. Currently, I am trying to "reunite" my collections and a large personal library under one roof, but my health and diminished physical abilities stand in the way of accomplishing this. (Then there are the costs associated.) My ultimate goal is to "thin" everything, so that when I go to the "Great Library in the Sky," my family will not have to deal with my "mess." Though given my age, it is easier said than done. :)
Very sensible!
I am so sorry to hear of your Health challenges. It sounds like you have collected things that have brought you joy which is one of the goals in this life so many of us never achieve. You’ve done well and likely deserve to kick those feet up and rest a bit. Everything is gonna be fine.
@@JusticeLuvr Thank you for your very kind reply.
DIdn't anybody notice the Tiffany lamp he walked past? OMG. Love these videos!
I do hope the national museum has been notified about the extremely ancient collections of archeological finds. I am wondering how they have so many ancient pieces?! Also wondering where so many religious artifacts are from and how they were 'acquired '.
I was thinking the same thing. its almost criminal that these artifacts aren't being preserved. Theres some serious art in there too!
Not just the religious artifacts, but also all the African art. Considering the exploitative nature of colonialism in history, it’s highly unlikely all of those were acquired ethically at the time. It feels eerie seeing the way the art taken from their original cultures is clearly displayed with a great deal of appreciation and pride in the collection, while the actual people and cultures they came from were likely being dehumanized and exploited at the time it was acquired.
The way you present yourself shows confidence, class, style, passionate, romantic. This video left me speechless and in tears with so many questions as to why. The word Magnificent doesn't do it justice. Loved the extra thought of period correct attire. Perfection!
Thank you so much 😊
😂😂😂😂
For many humans it’s SO EASY to spend money when they get rich or born wealthy. BUT so few learn to be responsible and study the values of the artifacts. ALL of them were MADE by SOMEONE BRILLIANT. Let’s never forget and WASTE their talent like we’ve witnessed.
Leslie.you looked like the Lord of this manor too bad you weren't then.you could take care of all the treasures before thieves got to them so sad that it's left to decay they should give tours and restore it .Thanks for showing us this treasure💕
Good idea,
I agree but it is very difficult with a place like this... Thank you for the compliments!
Id buy it and move in, looks like someone is taking care of the grounds.
Yah, I am surprised some one hasn't snatched this beautiful place up. Water damage and mold on the right side of rufe.
I suspect that he got permission to tour this house, good advertising if your trying to gain money to repair it or sale it.
@@brendajoycewhite5747 Right! He gave an entire tour of it. Convincing for me :D
@@brendajoycewhite5747 yes, I think it too
Me too! Being an interior designer I appreciate all these period art work, furniture, wall covering..everything!
I watch this report over and over again, it's just brilliant, the secret room in the library is incredible, what secrets are inside it, in another bedroom it looks like someone tried in the past to open another white safe leaving the lock destroyed without being able to access Inside, this castle is full of antiques, works of art, treasures of all kinds, it is incredibly spectacular, without a doubt one of your best explorations, Mr. also likes the tranquility and serenity that your voice and attitude give off, showing the history of the place At the same time as each and every one of the priceless objects, I've literally been watching your explorations for 72 hours, all full of history, passion and sensitivity, bravo
This place is amazing. Too beautiful to be abandoned. I noticed water damage on the ceiling. I hope someone saves this place. Absolutely amazing !!
Wooow, my dear friend Lesley, What a handsome late 18th century noble man, who is walking in these breathtaking rooms!! LOL! - What a professionally made trailer!! - I can't remember, that you made such a trailer ever before. - That is truly a castle with rich history, as I presume
and is looking so incredibly promising and reminding me of a location, where also your dearest friend Maureno made an absolutely
breathtaking video. - I am already very excited to see your latest Urbex adventure, dear Lesley!
Kindest regards from now again quite cloudy and rather cold Switzerland.
Hi Willy how are you doing ,I missed bros of decay yesterday,but iv realised he didn’t do one ,weather here I’d dreadful,it’s rained solid for two weeks ,kind regards Ann xx
I LOVED YOU wearing that outfit. It was charming, young man!!!!!!! 😊 The castle was remarkably and aesthetically so much more than beautiful. Beautiful doesn’t even come close 😮
I believe the “homeless man” in one of the paintings was most likely John the Baptist.
Hahaha. I caught that too.
I am catholic I think it was John the Baptist.
I totally agree!
I cannot believe the family doesnt keep this place locked down in case of theft.. I will move in for free and take care of it..if someone would come in and air it out a couple times a year it wouldnt have mold..
Omg its beautiful unbelievable..
Thankyou Lesley i loved this..❤
Oh and by the way..
Lesley you look wonderful in your vintage attire..😊

Just the paintings alone are worth a fortune...
Apparently the owners didn't think so, or they wouldn't have left them behind.

Lesley, this is my third time watching this, I am so mesmerized by this beautiful place and how you have presented it,by dressing the part to eloquently describing everything ,your voice is so relaxing and exciting at the same time I can tell you really love what you do thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent with all of us, 🥀 much love to you and may all of your dreams come true 🥀❤️
This is such a wonderful message, It lights me up from the inside ❤️
I love this video but I have to wonder, where are this man’s Heirs?
@@BrosOfDecay can you tell me if you got permission to go inside this castle? I am so intrigued by your presentation
I am still as mesmerized today watching this as I was the first time I watched it!✨ Spectacular Lesley, Much Love to You
Insane!!! So sad to see all those ancient artfacts just rotting, i bet there are some paintings by some great masters and certainly a lot of medieval artifacts just disintegrating... There must be some family out there!
Nice words Jessie , how are you doing ?
It is heart breaking to see all those treasures rotting away!!!!
Đẹp quá nhìn họ bỏ hoang mà tiếc ghê,ước gì mình được ở đó một ngày là hạnh phúc rồi ❤
Words cannot describe how beautiful this home is. I can't imagine living in a house several generations belongings are in . All those years to require that beauty then just rot away. So so sad. The antiques in one room probably worth more than my house. Love your tour and dress up. You look like you came out of one of the paintings.
Caught this halfway through the live premier -- and now I have to carve out time to go back and watch it all from the beginning! Because, like, what the heck! Leslie in period costume?? (You look completely natural, Leslie! 😊) Love the music choice, too! But now I have to go back for the story -- and the downstairs rooms! Amazing castle!!
Thank you very much Lisa :) Loved to take you on a tour!
Hello Lisa.....
That place needs a new roof and someone to care for it, it's definitely fixable and in pretty good shape ..wow, thanks for the amazing tour ,you played the role perfectly
I absolutely love this beautiful mansion!! Your amazing story telling and depictions of their life. What it may have been like. The time appropriate attire. So special and priceless. A true treasure. You have many gifts. A soft and caring voice. A love for historical information and events. Respect. With Love from America. 😘
Do you ever find out what happened ? Why on earth would they leave all these Historical and Priceless possessions behind ? Why did they leave ?
I guess they died and the heirs live in the modern world simply forgetting about the dead people crap?
@@Worldofourown2024 Does that mean that I can go and take whatever I want ?
Truly a shame! There are people who would love to have priceless, timeless pieces that are just going to eventually be ruined! Incredibly sad.
I personally will go rescue everything there to protect the Historic Value. It would be horrible, if so many beautiful things were destroyed for nothing.
@@Laura_1216 There was a chest of drawers that matches my dining set! I would love to get it! of course that's impossible, but it is so heartbreaking to see everything left to rot. I bet the old phonograph that he played is a few K and a museum would love to have it! smh!
I think it is just so beautiful in it's natural setting. But with mold and moisture I see, it will not be very long before all of that will be destroyed. Even warehouses are subject to mold and moisture. I would try to contact extenuating family to come retrieve things or lose forever and then have a huge auction because at least the things for the most part would survive. But to intentionally let it go to ruin because of historical value does not even make sense. Kind of like the globalist say sustainable but in reality it is really contrived to be unsustainable. You cannot sustain these valuble pieces in a destructive environment. Termites, woodworm, many kinds of mold and wet moisture is the worst.. It makes me sick, to know many so called intelligent people overseeing this destruction and really not preserving it because of legal wrangling and so forth. Very very sad. Really even makes me sick. The people took care when living, then the courts and greed gets involved and everybody loses. Probably just a small amount of really good people are trying to do their best, but the corrupt destroy. I would bet that in 15 years, the roof will collapse and all will fall to rust and decay. Very sad. Even some meant it to go to ruin so they can sneak a piece or 2 that they have been coveting. The court should make a emergency auction because of the great risk of destruction. Just my opinion.
