Royal Family's HUGE Abandoned Castle | Over 900 Years Old
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2023
- Today we are taking you on an adventure to a very old and historic abandoned castle in the countryside of France, originally built in 1180 the grand castle was once a fortified monument to a royal family until the year 1400 when it was sold to another wealthy family that I couldn’t find much information about. And all through the years until the 19th century it was passed down to the same family until a very prominent art collector and dealer bought the castle and used it to display all of the very valuable artifacts and furniture as well as paintings from a very famous artist that was his biggest collection. The man that lived here died in 2018 at the age of 90 but left the castle many years ago due to its high maintenance. And ever since the art work was sold off and castle has been abandoned ever since. Today alot of belongings still remain including some of the very valuable furniture that was unfortunately left to decay. So join me today and let’s see what’s left.

If that castle 🏰 could talk. It has many stories to tell.
💯
Yes it has many memories ♥️
Oui oui!
Be aware that France currently has an ongoing project to restore over 2,000 abandoned castles and chateauxs. Groups of people are buying each one and restoring. This is probably one of those castles and may well belong to someone or multiple people by now. It's an incredible piece of history, and it's sad to see it in such bad condition. I was holding my breath watching you guys walk over some of those rotting floors, and stairs. 😱 But what an incredible find! It's painful to see it so decayed.
Oui c'est vrai mais la plupart sont racheter part les communes et ils les restaure pour faire des hôtels

Parfois aussi par des particuliers, qui visent à en faire des chambres d'hôtes. Je ne suis pas vraiment fan des modifications drastiques de plans, mais certains de ces châteaux sont si détériorés que seul leurs façades peuvent être préservés en l'état. Il y a tout de même aussi certaines initiatives que j'approuve, comme le loto du patrimoine. Une vraie bonne idée qui gagnerait à être appliquée dans d'autres pays!
I’m so happy that you’re not alone. Please don’t ever go it alone. Thank you for sharing. 🏰 That was someone’s dream come true.❤
It’s sad to see the decay that it is now but amazing to think of the history behind the structure!
It can still be restored. I hope somebody saves it.
Judging from the paperwork you came across, this is the Château de Renay in Loire, France. Seems like the last owner was Sylvain Durand. I looked up the history and as you stated, it has quite a legacy.
I can never understand why -- although the upkeep and maintenance of such a large estate may be beyond affordability for whomever inherits it -- leaving such valuable furnishings and contents behind to rot and decay makes no sense at all. The dishes may be ancient and valuable, and the chairs can be salvaged and reupholstered.
Sad to see such an end to what was a historical monument.
I love seeing the inner best in the game detective come out of people 😊
What a tragedy because so much history is lost. It's unfortunate the previous owner was not able to leave financial provisions.
Thank you for shedding some light on the name of this castle. I may not be up to par on this, but surely if you find an old castle, the name of it should be somewhere close by.
Oh, Dear...
Don't tell me these plonkers have filmed and showed in the video a document telling the exact location of the place?
(I obviously didn't watch the whole video, as it is so appallingly filmed.)
What a bunch or morons!
Right, I've seen it now, at 25:15...
What absolute clowns!
I wonder why they don't name the castle in the video title while they're at it!
Of course, naming these places makes it even easier for potential vandals and burglars to find!
Really shameful!
This shows that these so-called "urban explorers" are not harmless at all, contrary to what many people may think.
Oh, how fascinating it would be to see this place in its prime, as a functioning household. Thank you so much for this glimpse into the past!
Kind of depressing to see such a magnificent structure falling into decay
Hi Bankz! Been watching you for a few months now! & I absolutely love the content! You are truly inspiring that you make me want to create content to start exploring and travelling the world! Keep killing it mate! A lotta love from the UK 🇬🇧😎
A midweek upload at 1am here in Wales, UK, I'm happy with that! Cheers BigBankz
Castles back in there day usually had kitchens in the basement the servants didn't mix with the owners. I imagine this home had a lot of people working in it just to keep it clean. They would be so sad to see it like this 😔
Hi Carter. What an amazing place! That was absolutely fascinating. I can only imagine what it was like in its glory 800/ 900 years ago.
You definitely bumped into a spirit where it was so cold going up the stairs. The basement was where of the original kitchen would’ve been. Nothing but servants would’ve been down there. Where that great big huge inglenook fire place was. Extraordinary. Thank you so much for dodging bats and twinkle toes across the rotten floors you both are appreciated 💜🤟🏻🫶🐬😎🇺🇸
There is no such thing as spirits, but demons, yes.
Do you seriously think this thing is 900 years old?
I mean, seriously?
Can't you tell they're pulling these random and fanciful numbers out of their backsides?
Good Lord... Try to get a minimum of a clue!
@@texasgirl6000 🤡
@@frontenac5083. The first part, yes. The addition. …no. They DID say they researched the building before they did the tour. And yes….stone buildings DO last that long….and longer.
Amazing castle. Such a shame it's been left to rot like this. Very interesting
France is an awful place for these homes. Taxes are insane, inheritance laws are absurd and restrictions on rehabbing them can be insane micromanagement. Then the cost of upkeep.....makes them almost impossible for people to fix and keep up on. 😢
I love how you show a bible verse at the beginning of your videos!!❤️
Holy cow that place is ginormous! Need a tour guide for that!😊😊. Thanks!
What a beautiful old Castle.It's sad to see the decay,such a shame! The old furniture,mirror and fire place are awesome.Thanks for another fantastic video.Greetings from Germany,
Wooow😮😮😮 That's so huge. It's so hard to maintain cause so it's size. Why not the state come in and restore it. Love watching your videos.
France doesn't care about them until you want to renovate them or unless they have insane historical significance. They have thousands around the country. But when you do get one and want to restore it they want to micromanage in varying degrees depending on its alleged significance and then the taxes on top of upkeep costs. They don't really care.
*its size
Glad to see back with more exploring new places
Between your good energy and vibes, I have yet to find someone who explores abandoned beauties the way you do. I truly enjoy watching your videos. You have a lot of talent and I hope that it takes you on path of success. Sending you extra good vibes. Thank you for entertaining my life.
Sorry but Bros of Decay are my guys ❤
Happy to see y’all exploring.. love to see y’all together. I’ve been waiting on Jeremy.. ☺️
The most iconic explore EVER! Thanks for sharing and giving us a glimpse of history.
Marvelous 👏👏👏🥂
Wow....I love it!!! How cool! Just imagine the people that visited there. The grand parties. The heating bill!!!
Geeze..how huge! You could get lost in this place ❤
Definitely a lot of valuables in it. I would live in that castle. Beautiful
What an amazing place if only the wall could talk .I would love to explore and see all the amazing things that people have had throughout their lives. So very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Take care
Love seeing the interiors - wish ya'll had knowledge of antiques, architecture, fabrics, furniture, era life styles, etc.
It’s a bit frustrating
Also, and perhaps more urgently: knowledge of how to hold a bloody camera!
Not one urban explorer has a clue about architecture or furniture and which era they're from. Anything made before yesterday is 'antique', and everything is 'amazing' regardless of what it is🤷🤦
This is by far one of your best explores yet, i was mesmerized by just the age of the castle along side a microwave, its mind boggling that its still standing. Most dwellings of this age left unmaintained are usually gone. Really enjoyed this explore.
Good Morning 😎 beautiful castle also swear saw some orbs around 👻 Good to see you back 👍🏻
That was really freaky, when y'all were in different places but we're close together. Wow what a adventure. Thanks for taking us with you. This is the only way I would be able to see this. Just thinking about what all could have taken place in this massive place. Stay safe and thanks again for all the places you video....
How beautiful ❤
Very cool! Loved watching this.
Thank u bigbankz and jeremy....
Over 900 years, that's deep. Hallelujah we are surely blessed.
It's although deeply not true.
The tower is from the 15th century, the main building from the 17th century with some 19th century additions all around.
BigBankz, You, are Truly One of my Favorite Explorers! Thumbs up to You My Friend!!
You guys have too much footage of the floor, and not enough of the rooms in eye-height. It's like looking through the lens of someone whose neck is broken and can't lift his head up. It's frustrating to walk through a castle room, showing mostly the floor. I get it that you have to mind where you are stepping. But it's kind of pointless if most of the video is about looking down at the floor. I suggest you turn the cam off when you check the floor for a safe walk, and when you determined the path you want to walk, turn the cam back on so you can concentrate on showing the room on a comfortable eye-level.
They're completely useless with a camera, which is quite a feat given the very fancy and expensive gear they seem to carry...!
At that point, they should simply film with their phone; in fact, I'm sure it would even make things better!
Right!
Disagree. It’s exactly like walking through the place myself. Hopefully they will be careful so that we can keep exploring with them!
😂 they Don’t want to show the World Any of the Black “Artifacts”, that may still be in original condition as built!?
Wonderful explore! Love that you and Jeremey did it together! Beautiful home and such lovely details architecture. The bed that you described as a sleigh bed is actually called a ‘sleigh bed’. A popular design way back when. Really is tragic to see so many lovely homes/castles just left to decay. It’s such a loss of history. Thank you for traveling so far to share this explore!
This castle is particularly fascinating. Wish you had some more fracts. I saw one light switch, was it added did on to, when did electric and plumbing installed, over all size. No complains, love, love this one.
It's called Château de Renay (Loire region, France).
You can Google it for more.
No point hiding its name as someone has already given it in the comments after you posted yours.
(Apparently, these plonkers posting the video have shown the name of the castle on a document! What complete tools!)
Great video been watching you a couple of months. I actually like I don't have to listen to swearing. I wait for your new vids to come out! Have a blessed day and week!
Thank you for your wonderful videos this castle is beautiful even in the stage its in you can tell how beautiful it used to be inside the outside is cool God bless you all
What an amazing explore! Just imagine what it was like and what amazing stories that are lost to history now!
Awesome castle , you could get lost in there , be a great place to play hide and seek ! imagine lots of bat crap that you were seeing and stepping in ! Thanks for sharing Big Bankz 👍 stay safe !!
YOUR VIDEO REALLY SHOWS YOUR MASTERPIECE, THE STORY, THE WAY YOU OBSERVED & DESCRIBE THE PLACE WITH FULL CURIOSITY IS REMARKABLE. VERY ENJOYABLE TO WATCH... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Wow what an incredible investigation, but I worry about how it affects your Mental Health when you visit these places Brother, you should maybe find a Spot outside where it's safe to stand Barefoot for a while before you enter, just so you can physiologically "Ground yourself" for what you might find Spirituality in these places, as there will be a mass of feelings in these structures! 🙏✌🇬🇧
Be careful of what your calling mud. More than likely it's bat guano (poop) that has been accumulating for years. I say be careful because the guano is dangerous to your lungs.
As for the video this castle is awesome. I kept imagining woman in those huge dresses going up & down those stairs. Love all your videos...be safe.
Hey! Here comes yet another of these self-proclaimed doctors...!
Why don't you guys get a medical degree instead of continuing to give around more unsolicited and idiotic advice?
I was stuck in my parents en suite bathroom one time for almost an hour. Every time I would try to make a run for it, the bat would fly right at me and hit the bathroom door- absolutely terrifying!!
I was born in 65! I don’t think I’m old lol
I bet in that kitchen there were lots of herbs hanging from the ceiling to dry. I could actually imagine in my hind. The hot layers of clothes the women wore back then, how hot that kitchen was a the hustle and bustle of the servants preparing for the evening meal for the royal family. Kids scurrying in and out sneaking a treat before supper and the head of kitchen playfully and lovingly swatting them away and telling them their going to ruin their supper. 😊 I just found you and I must say I'm addicted. You so easy to listen to and bring us to another time and place. Thank you. ❤😊😊
It's such a treasure, imagine what that castle has seen. It's so sad how it is slowly decaying
Should of def read some of those papers for us but great video awesome work
Great explorr, beautiful castel and THANK YOU FOR THE BIBLE VERSES at the beggining of the episode.!
Dan, on “escape to rural France” is redoing a said abandoned château as this. Very interesting channel.
What a fascinating place
Glad to see you back
Fantastic video as always.
You have been missed.❤❤❤
Thanks I enjoyed watching it was awesome
its criminal to think that a property like this would be left to ruin
I was hoping you'll find an old toilet style during the early years of the castle where there was just a hole on top of a cemented flatform. I thought i saw one but the camera moved so fast. Finding this one prove the authenticity of the age of the castle. The camera seemed to be focused/interested in finding modern appliances found in the very old castle. i was so keen in looking to the very old things like furniture, kitchen dishes, decorative pieces, letters, early publications and pictures. Another thing i noticed was you didn't find any wine cellars which is always found in old castles. This is the kind of abandoned castle i am very interested to see. Thanks you found this one.
Great video missed you Big Bankz Glad to see you are doing ok
Bangadee bankz
Love your channel! It's really fun to explore right along with you!🙂👍 Stay safe my friend! Look forward to more cool places!
That bed is called a sleigh bed. You see how it's shaped liked Santa's sleigh. Very old and worth lots of money.
Bankz!!! So good to see you!!!
That was so cool!
The room that you guys said had a well in it, that was probably originally the toilet if it was in the older part of the castle. When we were in Switzerland we toured a castle built in the 11 hundreds. They had a spot like that and we were told it was a toilet. The castle was built out onto the water and the waste went down and into the water.
Man i love your videos. Thank you for this explore to share with us.:). It is Beautiful for history .Take care God Bless you Be safe out there exploring? Much love and Respect
I love your videos! Thank you.
There's so many wall panels at the beginning that it makes me think of secret passages,and notice how thick the walls are and how deep the windows are, love the wall papers ,the staircases,and fire places,what a waste.👍❤️🇺🇸
Monumental find guys, besides the bats an awesome find, love it
I bet it was so awesome in it's day. Thanks for sharing such an amazing find
Check out the plates and glassware in the kitchen. There you go, Jocelyn and Andrew!(Crazy Lamp Lady)
They found out this year Castle is empty scavengers came in and made it a mess like that it makes me upset what people do to this beautiful looking castles😊
Loved you two exploring together gel very well 💕✨
I love the stills you post during the video's, hope all is well with you.
Oddly enough, my favorite part of all your videos is the bible verse 🙏🏾✨️❤ Keep up the good work, Bankz.
An absolutely once phenomenal castle!!! Sooo very interesting!!! It breaks my heart 💔💔💔 to see the deterioration of this property!!! I sooo wish that someone would have saved the gorgeous antique wooden furniture, to let it be restored & someone to enjoy it once again!!! Sad that a library, museum or historical place doesn’t save the books, magazines, glassware, cookware & artifacts from this historical place!!! I can totally understand why these gems are abandoned, as it would be unbelievably costly to try & save, restore & rebuild this awesome place to it’s original grandeur!!!😞😰😢 The upkeep of a property such as this wouldn’t even be practical for Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates to even take on😰😞😢 Thank you for sharing this wonderful, awe inspiring, once phenomenal castle, Carter!!! What a treat for an old, handicapped person like me…who would never otherwise get to experience this beautiful property, 40 minutes of escaping reality, to dream👍🙏💕
That glassware in the living room is beautiful! I was wanting you to get down close to some of those pieces on the floor! Vintage and antique English glassware can be extremely expensive!
So many rooms. I would love to explore a place this huge even though I would get turned around and lost lol
Long table was a Prep Table. The servants most likely ate there after kitchen cleanup
Yes amazing video the castle 🏯🏰 is so awesome
BIGBNKZ lad to see you just dropping a hello will watch later today😊
I always try to imagine what their lives were like in the houses hay day! It fascinates me
I want to warn you of places with bats. I recommend a high collar something around your necks that prevent hungry bats targeting your necks. Back a while ago I read an article of a child who was walking home in the evening, when a bat, in a slit second, targeted the boy's neck, extracting his blood from his vein, infecting him, and KILLING him! When a bat infects you after hitting your jugular, the infection is directly hitting the bloodstream, causing sepsis, and it will take you down instantly, not to talk about destroying your main blood vessel in your neck. I would wear something around my neck that is hard enough to prevent a bat from hitting your jugular, even after trying.
Oh please, go take out some more insurance, get a jab and hide in your basement.
Hmm, yeah, OK; you might have red that in vampire novel rather than in an article...
Очень красивый средневековый замок с интересным подвалом и печами, не понятные помещения, закутки, какое было их предназначения в те далекие времена, когда он был построен
I have recently started watching your videos, my husband and I and we are so intrigued by them, they are so interesting and has you wondering about each one's history, I just don't understand why you don't have your own T.V. show!!
Great to see you and Jeremy. Great explore big
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
Great job guys, keep on finding these old places we could never go through. You will find some posts of nay sayers but let them spend their coins to go there and walk through it. Congrats.
Hey!! I just thot of something!! 🤔 You NEVER see plant pots with old dried out soil & if recent, dead plants. It's weird how they didnt get into that back then. I can understand giving the plants away when they leave or taking them with them but i havent seen ONE in any mansion or castle! Weird!!
That's a good sized apartment to model inside.
Спасибо большое за видео ❤
It's not likely they will attack you unless they have rabies, which is rare. They will not hit you either because of their amazing sonar system. Also avoid shining lights on them.
This house is so cool, very cool find
Wow This Is Pretty Freaking Cool But Sad At The Same time What a Sham We Enjoy All Of Your Videos Keep Them Comin
Id love to live here and build it back original.
Gorgeous
You should make a new footage of this castle, this time not wasting yourselves on showing the floors, but showing the rooms. I also don't like it when you spend so much time on showing junk piles. Who cares! I want to see the architecture inside, and feast my eye on a slow and steady footage of a 360 degree on the room, so I can get a feeling what the original people who lived there saw.
Well said!
They really are absolute dolts.
This is an incredibly fascinating place! The history is rich. I can’t believe that the gov doesn’t tear it down and put up subsidized housing. I find it so sad that the building was not maintained. Some of the rooms were radiant heat but I didn’t see a boiler in the basement. BigBanks, please pan your camera far more slowly! Plz start taking twice the time to move the camera. Your images flick about so quickly that I cant see any of it. The only scenes that you took enough time for us to even focus were yourself when you wanted to chat with us. Hold the camera that long on each item you wish to focus on, then slowly and carefully move to the next item to view. I think you find that your videos will become much more professional once you slow down. Looking forward to the next one!
What a ridiculous statement.
Bro got scared by a single bat lol
I think the gravel on the top floor wars bat guano lol
Completely amazing!! Wow
Amazing photage guys!!! Keep it up and if you find any dates on any papers… awesome to know!!!❤
Start by repairing the roof. Then work your way throughout. Nice .
14:35 I bet you have just came in the servants's part of the castle.
