Yeah very extrodinary even though sometimes disgusting with dishes and clothes left behind 🤨
As opposed to living in the United States, you guys in Europe are very fortunate as far as urbexing goes. You can hop on a train and see seven different countries in one day!
I love the way you show such respect for everything you explore.
Some of the things you were describing I wanted to tell you right then, what we call them in English. I'll have to get on live chat next time. I love learning other words for things. For instance, you say "the man is literatured", we say "he's highly educated". Yes, we Americans have butchered the British English language . Another form of rebellion I suppose. 😆
The umbrella stand held parasols, very dainty umbrellas for the women to carry to protect them from the sun.
There were other things but if i remember what they were, I will edit this response.
Also, when I see these big mansions and castles, I always wonder about secret doors leading to hidden openings between rooms. Do you check for that kind of thing?
Babies of the wealthy were often cared for by nannies. So strange rooms next to a babies room might have been a playroom for children and maybe had a place for nanny to sleep. I don't know for sure, but they have to sleep somewhere close, without being in same room.
Tinted glass windows are known as stained glass windows here. Similar words, and I think I like yours better because the glass is actually "tinted" throughout while liquid, not just "stained" or painted on the outside after it hardens. But even the people who make it call it "stained". Oh well, just MHO. 🙂
37:35 that's called an alcove where that bed is set.
47:11 I would have like to have seen that decorative umbrella. I have one similar. I cannot imagine using it because it's not made like most umbrellas. Can you show that if you go back? And in future videos...you have ladies here who might like to see more of the things ladies used back then. Thanks in advance.
47:44 I believe that would be a drafting compass. They aren't made like that anymore.
Every time I watch these videos my heart breaks, the literature, the oil paintings, the furnishings, these items could all go to museums of history and the family just leaves them for whatever reason.
I think the same way. Truly 😔 sad
Me too I can't watch history
Pictures on past etc
I will have bad feeling...im sick i think ?
All these castles, homes, hotels, religious universities are not abandoned! They all have Private owners! In many instances Organizations or even Goverment own them. We have to take with a big grain of salt what this guy is telling us. It was a road just behind the ivy trees, and there's obviously caretaker, because there's NO dust on library shelves glass and house looks very clean! This guy is such a liar. If this place would be "abandoned" for 45 years, it would be completely rotten and covered with mold because of rain, rodents and other nature elements and 4 season weather in Europe,and all the floor and roof would be rotten because of moisture! This guy breaking in and trespassing. What he is doing is criminal, but of course, it's entertaining for us, and unfortunately TH-cam allows all that, obviously not aware of these countless "urban explorers" who breaking law.
@@user-wc7mo9uo9o well eh, that's probably true... But our roofs, are rotten too, cause no one wants to fix them. Lmfao 🤣🤣😂😂
@@user-wc7mo9uo9o I seriously disagree with your assessment. It would not be completely rotten in 45 years. Double that to 90 years, then maybe. It mostly depends on how long the roof holds up.
We genuinely enjoy this channel. Fascinating. It just goes to show you that when our time in this realm is done, you can't take material possessions with you. That alone should clue us in on what's important in this life. Make every minute count and love your family.
lovely and true sentiment

Thank you very much for the wonderfull comment!
Bellas palabras , cuánta verdad hay !!!
Well, if there is any lesson that we should learn from these videos it´s "make sure that the belongings of several generations of your family would not be wasted and turned into dust by decay :))) Let them serve for the people, because every piece of architecture like that is a piece of music in stone, masterpiece, the best of the best of masters of their time were building castles like and they should be kept as national memory and art monuments. Even if the family cannot afford to maintain this sort of property any more there should be always some state cultural founds that can support historical buildings like that. Pass your property to the state in exchange for good care of it.
Absolutely breathtaking!!! Too many of these beauties left behind to fade. I wish we could save them and their history!!
As a Canadian I can safely say you've been in castles/mansions/villas older than my entire country. It's fascinating really. You're basically surrounded by museums and I'm here for it!
Canada is still a young country
Also a Canadian here, and this is amazing!! So interesting.
طيب هذه البيوت ليس لها أصحاب.. ورثة .
Lesley is so genuine and sincere!! He is so dedicated to making these amazing videos for all of us to watch And truly enjoy!! And excuse me if I may say, in that outfit....he looks like a true handsome prince in this castle!!! Who agrees with me?!😉
Very true .! 😊
Agreed!
Heather,
I totally agree. I love to listen to his accent🧡. I am 71 but I think he's so cute.🤭🙂
God Bless Yo🙏
Cathy,🌻 Ohio, 🇱🇷
P. S.
I love,💜love,💛 old castles.
Agreed!!
I hope you’re female
How I HATE to see these incredible places go to dust. Brilliant video Leslie.
Thank you veryy much Tony!
Love this channel. My mom and I used to explore old, abandoned properties when I was a kid. It was fascinating. I’ve never forgotten how much I learned about the past or the things she was able to teach me. This is my 4th video I’ve of yours. So happy to see someone doing what I was lucky enough to do when I was young with my mom.
@@reno8494 I think you replied to the wrong comment.
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker lmao totally 😳
I have no clue how on earth that happened but gee how embarrassing 🤦 OP must be very confused/ concerned 🤠
Imma do everyone a favour and delete it . I was probably replying to someone who said that you could know how many books one has read by the number of books that they own...
Incredible the amount of respect you show these locations. In doing so you pay tribute to not just the structure itself but to all who lived in it, worked at it, or passed through its gates.
Not to mention that he is breaking in and trespassing on Private Properties! Always wearing gloves. In many instances breaking through the windows. All these properties are not abandoned, but have OWNERS. Private owners or organizations or Goverment. He doesn't ask permission. This castle obviously has care taker, it very clean no mold or rot, and based on plastic chairs people come there. With permission obviously. I can't believe that all these "urban explorers" breaking in and trespassing on private Properties and TH-cam allows these videos.
@@user-wc7mo9uo9o then file complaints with the governments of these countries or start your own TH-cam channel openly calling these guys out with some proof.
Stop coming into his video comments trying to ruin this for the rest of us. Whether what you’re claiming is true or false, we are not going to take a stranger, who only identifies themself by the letter N at face value after watching these videos for so long. Go put your face and name in front of a camera and make an open complaint and stop posting anonymously on his videos. It’s annoying and you’re not changing any minds here by going about things the way you are. You just look like you’re trolling.
@@heidigordon1868 TH-cam is US company and I am an American. Well, after reading your comment, I will be thinking of notifying TH-cam
@@heidigordon1868 I stated facts that these houses are NOT abandoned. You left such an idiotic response that I don't know how to answer. You "don't believe a stranger on TH-cam" but some foreign guy who posting videos sounds like a blood relative of yours! Ridiculous. Just leave your house for 5 years and see what it looks like! You would see dust, mold, deterioration, roaches, signs of animals etc and more, depending on where you live. What this "relatives ( Ahahahahah) of yours is showing are old beautiful houses which ARE not abandoned. They could belong to private individual, or organizations ( clearly they are some gatherings in that house based on plastic chairs) or Goverment! Just chew pop corn and pay to criminal, cause that's what he is asking you:"Donate"! Same as Ukranians - always with stretching hands!
Lesley, you look positively dashing in the period style costume. Very handsome - real eye candy! The opera stage for the toy dolls is amazing...never seen it before. It just shows you what culture the children were raised with.
Thank you for giving us documentaries of such consistent high standards.
Lesley, you do look so dashing in that period costume. And I think that you would do well as an actor.
Love the sound of your shoes on the wooden floors.
Hey Jethro, thank you very much for the wonderful comment, it's truely appreciated :)

Beautiful location! I love that there doesn't seem to be any vandalism, just natural decay. There are some beautiful things left inside. Great video!
It was very lovely to see that there was absolutely no vandalism ":)
@@BrosOfDecay I found it very strange that everything was left inside. There are a lot of things worth money in there. Was this building protected in some way?
There is a practical reason why the ceilings get higher in grand houses the further south you go in Europe. The high ceilings allow hot air to stay over head and the warmer climate means the larger volume of air doesn't have to be heated for as many months of the year. Ceiling heights in the American south used to be very high too. New England houses tended to have much shorter ceiling heights even for the wealthier homes. Ceiling heights changed with the introduction of central heating and higher fuel costs.
The most comfortable rooms in the winter, at Versailles, were up in the attic behind the dormers with very low, almost modern, approximately 9 foot ceiling heights. They are actually lower than the bedrooms of this old place. The tall rooms on the first floor were frigid ice boxes in the winter in spite of the fact that the palace used to contain hundreds of chimneys and fireplaces. The enormous windows act just like holes in the wall and wainscoting (boiserie) is the only insulation. Most of the chimneys and fireplaces were removed when the palace became a museum.
The one hole toilet is one of the earliest designs for an indoor toilet. You can see one like it in the Mark Twain house in Hartford Connecticut. They are kind of disgusting because the metal bowl at the bottom actually catches whatever falls into it and could get a build up of merd over the years, or some kind of hard to remove staining, I think? To flush it the handle drops the hinged metal cup. The modern syphon toilet of a few decades later is so much simpler and more sanitary. The Mark Twain house actually has some of the early (unused) toilet paper. It was very thin and stiff and not comfortable. We have such demanding butt-holes now.
Very interesting information about why ceilings were so high. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love all of this info you are sharing. I went to the Mark Twain House as a kid. As New Englanders, my parents used to take us to a lot of historic homes tours. That’s probably why I love channels like this and trips to places that have tours of historic places.
I've just discovered your historic castle tours. Wonderful. Fascinating. I love history. Thank you for your work. It is such a shame that these wonderful historic buildings are deteriorating. It makes me cringe to see the destruction by all the natural means. I will keep watching.
The construction of such a building is fantastic. Herring bone pattern wood floors! Some details about the history would be very interesting😀
Hey Kristen, in this one I unfortunately was not able to retrieve any of the history :(
That lamp looks like a lamp for a pool table. The gong is probably a dinner gong for when everyone was supposed to change for dinner. I think the top compartment in the stove is for coal. They probably had a lot of carpets. Furniture would also muffle sounds. Not storage for food, but equipment for food. The hatch is to send food up through? Or to watch when they should send up the next dish? Sort of a kitchen, it is THE kitchen. Incredible toys, maybe the cigarettes are chocolate? I love the little puff before the bed to step on. The people who lived in this space speam very interesting and knowledgeable. It was probably a lot of work to fix in the heating and plumbing, so when the old people died they gave up. So so sad!
Yes, people were shorter, but also was sitting and sleeping more and were used to curling up, but in this place, that seams odd. I think it must have been a child's bed or a small woman. Looking at the ceiling decorations there must have been a bigger bed there originally. I'm the room straight ahead from the staircase there look like there has also been a bed going out into the room, cause there are those black pegs on each sides, either for the curtains around the bed or to turn light or call for servants.
No, those are not wallpapersamples for the choice. Those are left overs from when they put up wall paper. Wall paper is coming back in style and I am so happy for it 😊
The blue smaller staircase is for the servants quarters, so they lived their whole life in a separate area and slept in the attic.. Wow.. Or maybe those rooms were just for storage..
Oh Leslie♥️ what a magical castle… I too could stay there for days just looking at all the treasures
You my friend are an old soul… I feel I am too as I am mesmerized by old homes, artifacts and abandoned places. It’s so fascinating to feel the life that once filled the hallways with activity 💜 thank you so much for taking us on this amazing tour it was so exciting 😊
De
You present these beautiful places in such a loving way. One can tell you truly love them, and it almost seems as though you are not only seeing them as they are now,, but also how beautiful and grand they once were in times past. Thank you for all the work you do to bring these lovelies to life for us. You are quite amazing!
Love your respect for others property.
God bless you for recoding history when others are destroying it.
I want to give an example for our generation that history should be preserved!
@@BrosOfDecay Maybe when you leave you could close the windows. It might help preserve it for just a little bit longer. This place had a gentle feel to it. A beautiful home.
@@BrosOfDecay
Greetings from Rhode Island 🇺🇸!! I enjoyed your video!! Thank you!!
I loved the fact that you dressed (very handsome I must say) up in period dress!! Amazing!!
Please be careful of your lungs while exploring!! I did notice a lot of mold on the walls.. There have been people who explore and end up with lung problems...
Just finished watching this video and found it magnificent!!
Let's pray that someone decides to but it and restore it to its former glory!! There's been a renewed interest in response to these homes.. Like the"" chateaux diaries" and "" doing it ourselves" on u-tube..
I wish someone would come and bring that castle back to life. It looks like it was beautiful in its day.
I agree with you Joey, such a place should not go to waste...
Me two. Wonder how one purchases such a piece of history. You'd have to be a gazillionaire
I love this channel.. I'm obsessed .. I find it so tragic that these phenomenal time capsules are just left, to decay.. I don't understand why they haven't been turned into museums.. We'll need these memories .. Our future generations shall depend on this documentary.. Beautiful .. Tragically beautiful
@@michellemiller4909 unfortunately, it seems that the French government makes it very hard for families to sell the a chateau. All the family has to agree and then some don't. Also all that beautiful furniture in there is often not sold with the chateau. They are sold to the highest bidder!! Some old castles remove the glorious chandeliers too, so the new owners need to go shop for some. Fortunately, many of the 'new' chateau owners can find period pieces at what they call 'brocantes' or flea markets. Some are nicely priced others not so much. Also, many people from the UK are buying them up like little hot cakes. Since Brexit, many are selling their homes and moving to France. Recently a few Americans have done the same. Quite afew 'new' castle owners are starting up you tube channels to help fund their endeavors! I mentioned two in a comment above. It is so sad to see these beautiful monuments of history fall apart!
The photographic glass plates were an amazing find. I would have been curious to know what was next to them on that table that almost looked like a lamp. Perhaps it was something to view the glass photo plates from. Also, the two little carriages in the basement were not strollers, they were meant to be drawn by a small animal, not a pony, perhaps a dog. The long arm at the front would have had a harness fastened to it. They were fascinating to me. The material in the crib and the brightly patterned cover on the bed were 'toile de jouy'. They were very time consuming to make by a French company (Christophe-Philipe Oberkampf opened a factory in Jouy-en-Josas (near Paris) in 1760) by using blocks for the pattern dipped in very expensive inks, making them extremely pricey.
I was hoping he would focus on that 'lamp'. I'm sure it was one of those things that creates an animated image, by spinning it. Sad it was overlooked!
You are seriously just one of the nicest guys. You're so respectful, I really enjoy watching your videos, it helps me get through the day.
So stunningly beautiful. My heart aches every time I see these ancient masterworks left to ruin. They need to be lived in and loved. They were part of an amazing world once.
I couldn’t agree more, the past speaks
To my heart and homes like this I wish I could save even one. So I salvage antiques and cherish them and save them from the landfill. I hate how people care so little about these beautiful works of art.
That was a grand castle that just went on forever. The doors are so large, the windows so pretty with the artistic glass. I can see what it must have looked like back in time, we get a taste with our eyes. I admire the built in bedroom cupboards with the pretty beds tucked away . Thank you for sharing with us and also dressing for the era . A wonderful glimpse into the past. I have never seen a castle doll house nor an opera house like those, a treat.
Thank you for finding this forgotten treasure! I have so many mixed emotions while watching, but the strongest is a feeling of sadness.
It’s hard to believe there is no one to save and preserve this beautiful home💔
It really is sad.
They really don't make things like that anymore.
Te assistindo do Brasil. Quando vejo esses belíssimos móveis de madeira, fico muito triste por estarem destruindo pelo tempo; deveriam ser restaurados, pois não há mais quem os produzam, nem há estas madeiras. Parabéns pelo trabalho!
I love this channel, and I commend you for not stealing any trinkets, or collectibles, despite the temptation.
I could watch your videos for hours and hours.
That's lovely to hear John, Respect is priority number one!
Why your THE BEST!
It's so heart breaking to see all the memories and history fading away slowly. Is there any hope of someone rennovating the castle for all of the world to cherish?
I unfortunately think that that is just a dream, :( But we can appreciate it forever on my channel :)
We all fade away slowly, this is life, both for rich and poor ~
@@BrosOfDecay PLEASE SEE MY COMMENT OF TODAY.
YOU COULD BE PRECISELY THE AGENT OF CHANGE REQUIRED TO RESURRECT THESE MAGNIFICENT ABANDONED STRUCTURES INTO A NEW USEFUL LIFEGIVING FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES LESS FORTUNATE POPULATIONS...
PLEASE CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR LIFE'S MISSION!
@@edinstruction2011 it would cost a fortune to refurbish it.he said at the beginning that the family still own it, that's telling you a they can't afford to refurbish it, it's difficult to sell people want houses with mod cons, maybe local council red tape would stop a lot of works being done, too much hassle any works would Probably cost more than the value of the house by the time you finish it. As you would need specialist contractors to work on it which won't be cheap, unfortunately properties like this, big or small are too far gone with no likelihood of them being used, do people will not stump up cash to touch them as it could bankrupt them of it goes wrong, people want properties close to town or on outskirts of town not in the woods which this appears to be, this property may not even have telephone lines never mind no mobile masts too much upkeep only thing tnet is any good is hotel but with economic crashes in past 20 years it is Not a safe bet! generally they are not worth it far too much damage!
In today's standards it isn't livable without heat, much less all the other requirements. It would cost millions to upgrade. It's beautiful Leslie could document it!
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for taking the time to document this grand old castle and sharing it with everyone.
I had to actually come back and watch this again because I happened upon a video last night of another explorer (which I won't mention the group) and sad to say this beautiful property was completely destroyed. I don't know if it is terribly sad or maybe the owner's came back to clean out the majority of the antiques but there were still so many precious antiques that I would have been proud to own. All of those were broken and destroyed during whatever happened in that noble home whether it be cleaning by the owner's or theft. I literally felt like crying the entire time during this explorers walk thru. Leslie I hope you see this. 💔💔
I think its terribly coincidental that these beauties are ripped up stolen from cleaned out and destroyed- AFTER - these guys have filmed. Snooped thru it all, pointed all things out, and know where everything is and so does everyone else. Just interesting.all i am saying.

Wish ppl took it easy on the spelling of the title 😅 I never expect those who are bilingual or that know even more languages to have perfect grammar. The fact that he could translate even a little French was great. And I absolutely LOVE that Lesley visited this 18th century castle in period clothing! It was such a perfect touch 👏 That comment about how their shoes must have made a lot of noise on the floor judging by how your own custom shoes sounded was phenomenal! 😍 As someone who loves writing and drawing historical stories, this is honestly a great way to learn about the sights, sounds, and feel of everything~ 😊
I had to resist the urge..."once a mother, always a mother", in correcting grammar and writing. I would want to know so I could correct it...I also had a 'mother'.
@@tlockerk Oh, I should have been more specific lol. There's nothing wrong w/ correcting someone so they learn, but everyone was talking about his grammar and not even commenting on the video 😅 Felt bad that he spent all this work producing this vid and all anyone could say was, "You used the wrong tale."
Exactly, sometimes people overreact... I speak 4 languages and 2 of them are fluent, English is not even one of those... If they just left me a comment that corrected my spelling, that would be just fine :) Thank you for defending me
What a wonderful classical library as it should be!
The next room close to the library was a billiard room of course, such lamps are usually used for billiard tables.Wonderful video! Thank you! The period costume looks great on you :)
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment!
@@BrosOfDecay Пожалуйста , русские субтитры.
I posted the same opinion. Definitely a billiard room because of the light fixture.
I love the passion and reverence you have for these old homes. Thank you.
I’ve been binge watching your channel for days! I listen in my earbud at work, in my car, and at home when I finally settle down for the evening. Your voice is so soothing, and your accent is adorable. I chuckle at your choice of words sometimes, and how you say certain words - so stinking’ cute. I’m an old lady, so I get to call you cute and adorable. Your passion for what you do is what makes your channel so interesting and fun to watch; that you’re a cutie pie is an added bonus.
Beautiful. I love when you dress in period clothes to visit these very special homes. You show such a great respect for these places. I love the way you do these explores. I love your enthusiasm and true passion for what you do. And props to your wonderful camera crew. You all are such professionals. Another awesome job and another one of your videos going in my favorites! Thank you and may God bless and watch over you all ALWAYS !
Ooohhhh, that entire cupboard full of what looks to be the castles original copper pots and pans!!! What a treasure those are! Would've been beautiful to see back in their prime condition as they would've kept them cleaned and shiny! 🌟😊
I think its this channel where they were in a huge house and a whole wall was covered in copper pans
Exactly :O
I love how you story tell these castles.....energies never die....thank you for letting us in
No words ......
Thankyou for sharing this emotive and beautiful home ... more questions than answers...
Happy holidays Leslie and take care.
Thanks again.

How clever of you to light the slides so touching.
As humans, we have, from the beginning, searched and built homes for ourselves. We got to the stage in evaluation, where we started building our homes larger and larger, to the point where we can't afford the places we live in. It's such a shame these homes are left standing, alone and unkempt. It does, however, each one, tell of family and history. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
And now people can only afford tiny homes or vans or vehicles here in America 🇺🇸 🤔
I do love how you have chosen to dress up to do your documentaries. It really gives them an extra level of reality, how people there once lived in such grandeur.
This was just a Random Idea I have one day and I decided to do it :)
I am totally amazed of the conditions of the abandoned old property that you explore . The respect that is shown is outstanding for the properties amazing. Thank you very much for sharing them with everyone . God bless all of you. From Grass Valley, California USA.
I love watching these and Leslie does such a great job it just makes me so sad to lose all that history. If I were a millionaire that’s the type of house I would rather renovate
Could you imagine someone cleaning up the place? It's such a shame places like this aren't restored for public viewing if history. Thank you for the magnificent tour.
My pleasure to show you around Meri, and unfortunately I think this place will just rot away forever :(
Maybe those families don't know who's going to spend a million of dollars to renovate that mansion , it's so huge cost if they do that... well they did abandoning that place rather than spending money..
Love this place and dressing in period clothes. Just wish it wasn't decaying. Love everything that is left there. Thank you for a wonderful video. Love ya Leslie
Everytime I view a video of this sort it brings me to tears. To think of the families that spent time in these beautiful homes. You can almost hear the laughing of the children looking through the bedrooms.The love of the people who decorated each room that hung the pictures of loved ones up.
Each one a mystery of why the all walked away. How come no one reclaims them and tries to save these beautiful castles of the past? So sad to think they are being taken over by nature.
This place should be saved...
Thank you Lesley for all your videos. They bring me so much pleasure because of your respect and knowledge.
After seeing my first video, I have such respect for your integrity and that of your crew. You truly have me wondering what life would have been like if I had lived during that time period in one of the magnificent palaces you have videotaped. The wood heater you showed with the top compartment could have been to warm stones for the people to put at their feet when in a carriage.
I love when you wear your "castle" clothes. I know it's going to be a special video when you appear in them and this video did not disappoint. Wonderful castle and loved your tour. A gracious and informative host as always. Keep exploring. 👍❤🇺🇸
That is lovely to hear :) From next year onwards I am going to do every single video in period clothing, my tailor is making clothes for every period and type of building for me :D
@@BrosOfDecay I'll be waiting and watching!👍✌😀❤🇺🇸
@@BrosOfDecay I am happy to read that. I have been involved in Living History for 15 years (specialised in 18th century and Regency) and have hand-sewn countless period-correct garnments. In that vibe, I am always simultaneously pleased and shocked to see you in your attire. Pleased to see you made the effort and that for the most part it looks quite correct, but shocked to see you half-naked ;-) In the days your clothes can be placed (1805-1815) men who were not working physically would never walk around in just their shirtsleeves without their overcoat (Justaucoprs). The shirt was considered underwear and you were only supposed to see the cuffs and the collar. But I appreciate of course that the Justaucorps, especially when the work of sewing an authentically correct one is considered, is the most expensive part of the whole get-up. Can't wait to see what your tailor is coming up with and would be happy to recommend a few people who are really good if required. Also, if you are interested to get in contact with some Reenactment groups, I am happy to help. There are a lot of things you could learn! Thank you for the care, awe and respect you are showing to these historic buildings and artefacts!
We just found your videos a few days ago and really enjoy each one we have viewed together. As we are older folks and can no longer travel or explore, we appreciate your explorations. This is the first one that we were not able to hear your speech at the intro as the music you used drowned out your voice....but later, when the music became quieter we could understand your discourse. We love that you show such respect and honor for the artifacts left behind....that is something to be proud of in yourself as a young person. We just wish we could have seen the outside of this french chateau to have had a better grasp of the immense size. Thank you again for sharing such work as this....it is amazing.
Hey Sassy, That is very lovely to hear thank you very much and welcome to the Bros family
I Love your channel!!!!! I find it so Fascinating!! Thank you for exploring and taking us with you to places I’d never be able to go!
Now videos like this are highly needed!!! Keep up the success mate!! Glad to be with guys!
Hello Lazley. It's Hanna from Israel. Wow so nice❣
I see a lot of comments complaining about the sound but the sound was perfect for me I barely even noticed there was music at all.
I love Imagining the bright natural sunlight going through those stained-glass windows; it would have looked absolutely gorgeous with all the colors.
Thank you for all your time and thank you for sharing. You always do such a great job.
Love all of your videos. It's so amazing that valuable belongings are left behind in the castles and manors that you explore--and that visitors leave the belongings right where they have been--and where they belong. It's very sad to me to see the paintings, pictures and books. What a joy it would be to look at some of those books! Thank you for the videos. It's a trip back in time that makes it easy to visualize the people who lived there... Ladies in their beautiful gowns descending the gorgeous stairways... Turning back the years in one's imagination to visualize the beautiful ballrooms, bedrooms, grand entrances, etc. Thank you for the videos and for the respect with which you treat the locations you visit, the belongings and furnishings that are part of the palaces....and the respect you show the former inhabitants and their descendants with your respectful visits.
I'm so glad we have people like you to show us how staging looks. I love history, organic history. Leave it to someone who does not care if it looks boring.
What a dashing outfit! So perfect for this video!
Thank you William
Wow! You can almost hear the sounds of everyday activity in this place. I love it. We do not have so many castles here in the US so thank you for bringing us this fabulous series. I think one of my favorite rooms was the grand hallway. Would be nice to see this place restored. Lots of money involved I know but it sure is a shame to see this grand home go to waste. Looking forward to your other video's.
Hey Cindy, I appreciate your comment greatly 😊

Dare you to spend the night there alone
What a treasure. What a time capsule. Usually when you see these types of videos the furniture and things aren’t there but this house is filled with their personal objects. This is an amazing video!!!!!
Fabulous place, as always perfect coverage, info and history! Love you guys!!
Having observed the gadgets and abandoned appliances in this chateau, I would say people would live around 1890’s to 1930’s. The photographs clearly show us that the ladies are from 1900’s. The little boy would be around 1910’s from his sailor suit. The bicycle would be around 1920’s-1930’s while the boy would be in his 10’s.
I love when you wear those clothes, it compliments the home's time period and decor so well. I love your joy and enthusiasm for this documentary work. I also love the care and respect and as much as the story s you can that you give back to these places, if only for a short time. I wish I could buy you your favorite one, all included. Love you all from Florida/US ☀️🌴🙏❤
Thank you very much for the Lovely comment, we are going to Florida on the 6th of November, Maybe we can meet up :D
Great work, thank you. I love these explorations. I took screenshots of the glass pictures you lit up & reversed the negatives to see what they actually looked like, they are amazing! I wish I could attach them here.
Thanks Lesley for sharing this great history. It's amazing to see how this castle has been preserved after so many years. I wish some of this history could be kept in musuem for the future generations to see.
Those handprints on the wall. So unique. Thank you for making such a wonderful video, even being in costume.
My deepest pleasure Debbie!
Thank you I so enjoy your videos. I am bed ridden now but when I was young I loved searching abandoned places such as you do. I thought this production was especially good with the music and your great flare for putting in the time period. Keep up the fine work. Thomas Tannler
Wow es el primer video que veo de tu canal, qué impresionante castillo y lo bien conservado que prevalece. Por lo regular no veo videos largos en TH-cam, pero el tuyo vale la pena admirar cada minuto. Muchas gracias por tu trabajo y por compartir cada rincón y detalles de estas hermosas construcciones, no tengo palabras para decirte lo mucho que me gustó el castillo.
The castle is so beautiful and rooms so large and ornate it takes my breath away. Thank you for the tour.
What a magnificent place, so many precious artifacts ! I love the design of the rooms and the fairy tale like garden! Your nice outfit matches this beautiful castle so well!
Thank you for such a nice journey into the past!
What a gorgeous castle. Grand staircase with an amazing iron cast hand rail intricately made. Too bad it's abandoned. I hope someone buys and restores it. Such history. Thanks for sharing and telling wonderful stories.
I hope so too.. Would be such a waste to see this beauty fall, apart :(
One of the best videos you have made. Thank you for your respect and great attention to detail. I very much enjoyed your presentation.
Your video took me back in time. Your outfit matched the lost time of the castle. Thank you for the nice trip back.
Leslie in the room with the picture negatives, the top on the cabinet was a Stereoscope, to view photos! It looks kind of like a lamp (black shade!)
Oo wauw, do you need electricity to use this device?
@@BrosOfDecay
No, you don't need electricity. I came here to see if anyone else caught that in the video. 🙂
It's such a lovely place. It's made my heart solemn seeing it.
On time woooooot! Yayyyyy
Beautiful house Lesley. I hope one day soon someone will bring it back to its former glory.
Take care on your journey. Stay safe. Happy house hunting.
Wow wow wow !! I loved the slide pictures 📸 that showed them on horses infront of the castle. Those were so cool !!
What an amazing place, awesome to see it hasn’t been vandalized, just deteriorating from age and Mother Nature. I can only imagine how beautiful this place was in its day. Would love to see some wealthy family buy it and fix it up. Thanks for sharing!
This was one of my most favorite videos you guys have done. I love that you guys took your time here. It’s so beautiful. I would’ve loved to venture in there myself. I probably would be in there for hours. All the memories you’d be able to come up with, picturing how it must’ve been before. The air about that place seemed so calming. If I had the money, this is one of the ones I’d definitely fix up and bring life to again. I’d probably want to keep all of the pictures, books, furniture and find some type of use for them. Some way to clean and further preserve them. Even make a separate place on the property for a small museum of those items. They’re just so amazing to see. It always makes me feel sad how long ago people put so much care into maintaining such a place. The building, the thought of layout pertaining to each room, the decor, atmosphere, how pictures were taken and families continuing on there. The children’s toys were so so intriguing. As were the pictures you’d lit up. I wonder how much space they’d have if the land around them had been trimmed away and cleared out. That place is so wonderful. Just wow.
Absolutely fascinating! However all I can think of is all the black mold that you’re breathing with no mask. Very grand! I totally lost count of all the bedrooms! So many. What a grand grand castle! Thank you Leslie. I didn’t want it to end. Sending so much love from Liz in California😎🇺🇸😘💜😎
Brilliant again guys, and thanks again !.
Thank you Leslie for the wonderful tour. It leaves much to the imagination.
I love his appreciation and knowledge of the history of the house because that’s what I love to hear about, really putting yourself in their place and not damaging or stealing anything. I love history especially when just abandoned.
That dressing table is gorgeous..looks like a pin cushion for sewing..
I thought perhaps the large one was used for making lace?
We love to watch your videos!!
You make for an enjoyable time!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for the wonderful trip back into an era of elegance and superior deportment. I wish I had a time machine!
Adore those pictures! And the miniature furniture.. love it
When I was the miniature furniture, I was in awe! I totally loved it...
Wow Lesley, this is an incredible find! One wonders why the family members
abandoned it or what happened to them, it seems like they never returned, how sad!
It must’ve been a beautiful castle back in its day!
The Family he said still own it..he didn't give the reason why they let it rot like this..
It's a beautiful piece of history
It must have been a wonderful castle, I would love to relive this place together with the former owners
Where is this castle located and is it for sale?
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Fun seeing how the house and people looked in good times!
Wow! Beautiful, the wallpaper 10:00 is amazing and also the relief wallpaper 17:28. I've never seen that before, I wonder how they did it. This place had everything, library, music room, with everything done so beautifully. The original people must have been super elegant. Thank you for sharing your passion.
I love that you are so reverent of all these majestic places and the possessions of the family who lived there. Truly lovely 💗
Completely fascinating. I read daily. This explore transported me back in time to some of my favorite books. Those lovely books left to rot hurt my heart but I genuinely loved this castle.
You are just adorable to watch. Your fascination with EVERYTHING just draws my husband and I in even more. The excitement as you move through the buildings builds with each room, thank you for posting these as I know a ton of work goes into these. Would love to see a Network discover you and sign you and your partner crime, what a worldwide hit show these would be!!!
beautiful and captivating and your narration was exquisite THANK YOU
You guys are getting so good at this!! I am more and more impressed with every explore you do! I have followed you for a while and it is amazing how you have grown into such a ubex force! Congrats on your achievements so far and I am excited to see where you will end up next! You are the best!!!
Magnificent buildings. Thank you so much for educating us with us brilliant video . I really hope you closed the shutters, windows and outside doors . It kills me seeing them left open . Helps preserve the building from further decay . 🥰
1964blueyes. I watched a tour of a castle done by ‘ Explomo’. The guy who was doing the tour of the abandoned castle was going around shuttering and locking every window. Several people spoke up to state that in doing so, he would be causing more mild and mildew.
There's so many great things there it should be put in a museum. Thank you for a great video
@brothersofdecay
Your videos are beautiful you have an old soul that takes us back to a time before our time. Thank you for sharing your urban explorations with us
Thank you so much Lesley for taking us along pn another amazing explore of this castle....What a shame to see such a lovely place fall into such disrepair! Keep healthy and safe in your travels !!!!
My grandparents had a big house and it had layers of wallpaper on the walls. The wallpaper was very thin way back when and the colors on it would fade very quickly especially if it was a sunny room. So they just re-papered every few years. It was not very expensive and it was very decorative.
I think wallpaper is lovely especially in these grand castles, I would not do it nowadays but back then it was wonderful!
Enjoying your videos. Such beautiful and historical treasures of time past. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Wow thank you for sharing this with us!!!!!!!
You are so lucky to go through all these amazing homes. I would just live to see some. But inly 2 bathrooms ? Thats just nuts.
Real talk!
Hotels used to have one bathroom to each floor
I imagine the cost of repairs & upkeep alone are astronomical. Probably financially out of reach for us, the middle class. So sad.
Too bad the owners did not do what most aires do. Open Castle to the public & charge admission to cover the cost of upkeep.
You are so right 👍 many people would pay to see these amazing places.!!!!
"Heirs" is the word you're looking for.
Heirs overburdened with extremely high taxes & fees due to terrible French tax & inheritance laws. No time to make "payment plans" long term but French taxes due very soon at estate settlement.
It's a travesty- causing a families to lose their homes & personal property.
Even for wealthy people it is sometimes too much to keep up these castles, labor is not as cheap as it used to be and restoring this place is very work intensive...
@@BrosOfDecay It would be a great idea to buy it between several people, restore it and use it as a kind of hotel, using the collected money to pay the castle taxes and expenses, and give some days a year for each of the owners to stay in and enjoy the castle.
Yes it did look funny when you got on the bike.that was great you made me laugh.ive been watching several hours of you today.loved every minute of it . Thank you
