This is amazing that no one has vandalized this. In the US that wouldn't happen. The amount of respect is to be commended. This should be preserved as a historical site for people to see the pure elegance of the style. Be a shame to see everything sold off and the place emptied.
JC. I noticed the same. In the US houses I see these videos for, which are (still owned, but abandoned) are trashed by trespassers/vandals. The European ones are obviously still commanding respect.
@Wally#01 You must live in Europe. You have no idea of the complete lack of morality in the US when it comes to vacant places. Very snobby comment. Should be appreciative of the compliment. In the US if its 20 years old it gets demolished.
I lived in Germany for 2 years and the European people respect their buildings and treasured antiques. They keep and restore but here in USA it’s tear down old stuff and put in a parking lot. 😢
@@nikkismith5897 In America, people don't care. Someone would come with a truck and cart everything away, and sell it on Ebay. I am in America. The landscapers will even come when you are at work and strip your fruit trees and then sell it on a street corner.
The most shocking thing is that it is in such amazing condition and that things have not been stolen. There are many exquisitely beautiful items. It also makes me sad to think a fantastic house like this is abandoned. It should have a happy family, filled with love and the laughter and exited chatter of children enjoying playing, running in and out with their pet dog.
These things almost make me cry......That was someone’s LIFE.....What happens that Families would just walk away...I know for myself to get things that belong to my Grandmother or even other Family members is everything to ME....That home could be fixed up and brought up to date even to sell.....ANYTHING would be better than letting it go.....YOU find so many BEAUTIFUL HOMES...I can’t understand all of those Beautiful things...You know the Family has some money...I would LOVE to know the History of that home?????
It's possible there is no surviving family to pass it on to. Myself, I'm an only child of an only child and I have no children or husband so when I pass (hopefully not for a while, I'm only 40 lol) my house and contents could be left like this if I don't carefully designate who they will go to. It happens more often than people would think, that there's no one designated to inherit.
@@spinstercatlady I am sorry and do understand......But I ask if you had all of those BEAUTIFUL THINGS would you TRY to SELL..???? The things there we’re very valuable and it’s a shame that they just set there when they could be enjoyable to someone ......

That's a beautiful place, soo ful of antiquities, very good taste and everything so rich and unique! Maybe somebody was living there , kind of servant taking care of the property, but has to leave for some reason o maybe die.
Only in Europe you will see so many gorgeous mansions,but it is very sad that they are left abandoned to decay.Very very sad.Thank you for showing us,thank you for your time.
Scattered throughout the countryside of France you will find abandoned mansions, abandoned and many left untouched and unloved. Only a handful go up for sale each year, and many from around the world snap them up for a vacation home. Truthfully, France has some of the most beautiful mansions in the world with unique architecture, and in the right hands these mansions can be restored to their original state.
I have been shocked only to see how they are abandoned and so much history and beauty, opulence and aristocracy in each one ... if I could buy one I love them
Breaking and entering. Jumping fence. Disregarding Condemned signs. When a door is locked Finding another access. Really, Does this set Well with You? Appalling.
Beautiful!! The thing that puzzles me is that all of the furniture looks recently dusted compared to the other abandoned places you have explored. No matter what.... it's amazing!! Thank you for sharing this!!
Someone had excellent taste in EVERYTHING from the color of the walks to the choice in furniture, vases, Chandlers, paintings...Every choice is refined. dignified and shows decernment on the finest level.
This mansion was definitely prepared for auction. What a beautiful find this abandoned property was. Thank you for your continued respect to the property owners.
Did you notice it wasn't peeling off of the walls. I was very impressed with the wallpapers also. gorgeous. I don't know if I would change some of it. Millions of $$$'s in this home left behind. It is just sitting there. What a shame. Someone would love these pieces.
This place is totally awesome. The beautiful wallpaper, the marble floors and mantels. The most unique things I've ever witnessed. So fun and stunning.
@@jazzman1626 he said it looks like the items were going up for auction. When is uncertain but it’s definitely abandoned with the amount of spider webs around

versaille? and i mean there's other houses like that, maybe they don't have the furnitures but they look the same and here a part of the furnitures are from the 80s
If in the UK, then yes. The National Trust would definitely have protected this beautiful property. People in the UK love to visit protected buildings. Unfortunately though, other countries don't seem to have that same respect or understanding. This house has a story to tell with a million charms.
OMG!! This is crazy, all those antiques n furnitures worth n worth millions, where were the relatives or family members, so mind boggling. Beautiful videos, everything inside so beautiful. Thnx for sharing.
I Read all the comments. No matter whether the mansion is really abandoned or not, the video is wonderful. For half an hour I was in a dream like state, walking with you all around this breathtaking, beautiful mansion. And I can listen to your voice for hours. Thousand thanks and lots of love from Sri Lanka...
Es lo más hermoso que he visto hasta el momento. Muebles preciosos, pisos alfombras, paredes y algunas antigüedades. Me encantaría estar ahí ahora mismo. Gracias por compartir.
This house is soo awesome! I can’t imagine what it would be like to grow up in a home this big.. Definitely need maids to keep it clean.. I love the marble fireplace and marble on tops of tables. Even marble on top of the heaters..beautiful furniture and gorgeous wood floors..
The great thing is the respect that you have exploring those places we always dream to discover but never get a chance to get in. Your behavior is admirable. It could be wonderful to research every history...but it is another adventure. Bravo. And thank you again
Odusevljena sam ovim videom. Neverovatno, da je sve kao novo, nijedan artifakt nije ostecen. Ne znam koja soba i kupatilo su me najvise odusevili. Ovde je ulozeno nenormalno mnogo para. Svaka slika, savka sofa, svaki luster sada ima veliku vrednost. Ovde su ziveli bas, bas bogati ljudi. Svaka cast jos jednom sto si pronasao ovo mesto i sto si nam sve preneo u ovom videu. Pozdrav
A lovely mansion, so many beautiful things left behind. I noticed a couple of negative comments - ignore them, I think you are doing a great service reminding people about the treasures of the past and how sad it is to leave them forgotten to decay. Loved it.
Hi Leslie and everyone, long time no see, as the saying goes. There is so much to comment on in this place. I know someone comes in there to dust the place. The “flattner “ I think is an ink blotter and those two things you thought were paddles are fans to cool yourself. Everything in this mansion is so beautiful. I really like the figurines. I would like to visit the place but not live there. You need money for the upkeep of the house and grounds. Oh well, the spiders appreciate the place. Right? I do need to mention one more thing. Your introduction at the beginning is very thoughtful and wise.Thank you Leslie for being such a caring individual and loving also.
A place in time to remember but never forget ? I got that just now and it is supposed to use those words in that precise way for the meaning...( VIBRATION) other ways changes the meaning of the words that are used to describe the VIBRATION. VIBRATION. I am a CINDI ! NICE TO MEET YA. I APORECIATE YOYR NOTICING THAT SOMEONE DUSTS ! WHAT DO YA MAKE OF THIS FRENCH PLACE THAT IS MAINTAINED LIKE A DECORATOR LEFT IT. THAT IS VERY VERY UPPER HIGH CLASS. PERHAPS ROYALTY AND MONEY GO TOGETHER SINCE IT IS IN EXCELLENT TASTE. I MET ONE ONCE ! HA HA. FROM NEW YORK NOT ROYALTY BUT SOCIAL GRACES AND AWARENESS OF THE BEST AND HIGHEST STANDARD FOR THEIR TIME IN LIFE. OH HELL PARTY NAKED ! LA DEE DA DEE DA DA DEE DA DEE AAAAA
Leslie you are so respectful of your finds, e admire you for that and we always look at your films at least twice. Thank you from armchair travelers from the USA. We could never have these experiences if not for you and your associates ❤️
This was by far the best exploration to date, in my opinion. Spectacular!!! I hope that someone saves the antiques, it would be a shame to let them be destroyed. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Hope someone can save the home too! It's really in great shape. It would be a shame to see another home go back to the earth. Makes me so sad to see that. If homes could talk!
The little wooden ‘stamp’ or ‘flattener’ is an ink blotter. You have found many in your videos and call them a stamp. Back in the day when ink and quill were used to write, they would place absorbent paper over the writing and roll the ink blotter over to dry any wet ink.
It breaks my heart to see a house that beautiful abandoned and in need of some love. I hope someone sees this video and buys and restores the house to it full formal glory.
07:35 - This is a 1920’s Framed 42” Lithograph by Fr. Laubnitz, „Mother Infant Baby Child & Cherubs“. Francois Laubnitz was his artist´s name. - His real name was Ernst Max Pietschmann (* 28. April 1865 in Dresden - † 1952 in Niederpoyritz).
Wow, this is unbelievably beautiful. The smoking pipe was an American Indian peace pipe. A very strange item to find in a French countryside. This was awesome to see, thank you 😊
As an architect and interior designer, I find your content fascinating. Your videos are my new guilty pleasure. One word of advise, you might want to wear masks since these places are full of dust and mold. Bravo! Look forward to seeing more.
Hello, NIce videos and I like your respect for others' belongings. I'm from the US and work selling antiques and vintage jewelry. I have some names for you for your adventures. The wooden and carved closets are called Armoires. The treasure chest is a steamer trunk. The pipe is a Native American Peace Pipe. The desk "Flatteners" are actually called blotters, usually made of wood and leather with an absorbent bottom to dab up excess ink. The desks with drop-down tables and cabinetry are called Secretaries. The Asian "Rackets" are Asian fans, to fan yourself in the heat. Hope that helps.
The second time I have watched this! Beautiful mansion and furniture. In excellent condition. So much more to see! Cabinets everywhere. Little ornate tables. Fabulous chairs. Gold all over. Thank you, again, Lesley! 💙🌙❄️
I'm so lucky that I can watch this video 🥺🥺I'm also lucky that I can watch his other videos that keep me sane and forgetting my problems in the world for a minute. this kind of video makes me feel like I live in one of these abandoned places 🥺 you gave me an unique feeling.. thank you
First off, thanks for sharing your latest great find. I wanted to let you know that the place was being prepared for auction because everything is clean and ready to go. I would also guess that there is someone taking care of the place until auction. So many unique pieces! You're right, thousands of dollars worth of merchandise is waiting for a new home. Big hugs and love to you!
This is a wonderful structure with lovely details of architecture and design. The niches are a wonderful way to display items. The marble fireplaces are so fine! The furnishings are incredibly beautiful pieces of craftsmanship, but the antiques are what makes it so impressive! Incredible pieces of art! Amazingly extravagant mirrors, lovely porcelain figurines, Hummels, marble urns, fantastic clocks, paintings, vases- small and huge, so many impressive candleabra and chandeliers, excellent pianos! These items were the collection of a lifetime of taste and discernment, for every piece is truly a valuable antique! The people who owned this home were very well-educated, well-travelled, interesting people who had an appreciation of fine and beautiful things! What a wonderful time I had just looking at it all!
So beautiful, every part of the house, architecture, windows, wallpaper. What a truly special find. I hope that the loved ones will treasure it for years to come.
Might be so. My French uncle had a century old country home in Normandy his family only used during holidays. Like other French people who can afford a country home or “castle” most of the year it is abandoned.
@@mijnpaulijn955 I noticed the lack of dust in the house, however given the damage to the doors and the auction stickers, this isn't used as an annual country home. More likely this was cleaned up a bit when the auction company came in and labeled the items.
What a magnificent home. It looks like they were set up for an estate sale to happen on the premises. The owners clearly had good taste, and the money to afford the very best of everything. The architecture is stunning, and has stood up well for its years of neglect. Thank you for sharing with us. Stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦
You have such an amazing heart. I love how respectful you are when exploring these places. You always handle things with care and putting things back where you found them. When you talked about equality you truly made me respect you all the more. I feel the same on that issue.
Just beautiful. And the music for your videos is so poignant and thoughtful. Thank you for your sensitive treatment of the material things these people once owned. Helps me put it all in perspective.
Perhaps the auction was delayed because of the pandemic, whatever the reason it is an amazing opportunity for us to peek into an unparalleled mansion with its many antiques. There were many beautiful cabinets and mirrors, chandeliers and vases. ( I am confused about the presence of personal bidets but not toilets, I think we saw only one toilet in a separate small room, but perhaps there were more and you only showed the one)
I do enjoy walking through the past and imagining how the families lived. I have noticed that the French love the color eggshell blue in a lot of these mansions. That's what I enjoy, all of the pale colors and I see mostly eggshell blues and pale yellows with the wainscoting. It's beautiful. I noticed a few cameras in the rooms as you were filming this mansion. I do not believe this mansion is actually abandoned. The owner may have passed but I get the feeling the family is still around.
Yes think the family is still around probably at some time a care taker looking after the property. I feel this is someone's secret hideaway full of valubles in case one day they need to go somewhere in a hurry and in secret
I heard of the color French blue,so it must be a poplar color of the day,in the palace Versailles they used alot of gold and that shade of blue,its lovely
@@LGAussie How do you know this for sure when people kept on breaking in through windows, doors and call each other to let them know how to enter the building? Force-entry is illegal. This is trespassing. Period.
There's a satellite TV/internet dish on the side of the servants' house and several plastic water bottles throughout the house. There's also no dust anywhere. So...I'm pretty sure it's not abandoned lol. It also gave me such bad anxiety when you kept opening/moving stuff & not putting it back how it was 😂😩 I love your videos, though, and I think it's great how much you love old buildings. I just personally think you should always wear gloves. The oils from your hands can ruin/damage priceless antiques, and you could touch something bad without knowing it & get sick
Yes they really need to wear gloves. I wonder if there’s also some kind of dispute over the property and contents. I can’t believe there are no alarms or security and it was practically wide open. It must be watched very often.
I saw that too.As much as I love watching these shows.I cringe every time an item is not identified correctly.(A clock was called a lamp!) A little research would help so general items/ antiques are identified for the viewer. It takes away from the show a bit. There are so many treasures in so many of these places! Really incredible!
This place is very beautiful indeed. For those that are arguing here in the comments section. Go watch the video again, and you will see the small white numbered auction stickers. This means the furniture and knickknacks, paintings, and every thing else are being auctioned off. Most likely in a live auction bidding via what ever site the auction house uses. People phone in, or uses something like a live chat to bid. Since this pandemic is still raging that is what most auction houses do. Of course things in the house has been pretty much cleaned up. It is very satisfying to see no spray painting crap on the walls, and broken furniture, or paperwork all over the floor. After the house is emptied of everything, either it will be sold by the bank, and or whom ever owns it. Yes there is black mold on the third floor, either the house will be deep cleaned or sold as is. Great video.
This place is so gorgeous and really what I think of as a dreamy "bucket list" manison I would love to visit. Thank you very much for this great video. It was the best thing shy of an actual visit.
I really believe the owners are currently planning to put those items up for auction. Those tags look brand new, not yellowed with age. Someone owns it but can’t afford the upkeep or to live there. How sad. Interesting how modern the bathroom looks yet the kitchen has not been remodeled.
The old unkept kitchen and the booze bottles suggest that an old man lived there, maybe he was getting ready to sell and go to retirement but he passed away probably in last 5 years because the mild has not taken over.
Uno de los mejjores canales que he visto,en cuanto al trabajo que haces.Mostrarnos el interior de casas mansiones palacios etc ABANDONAADAS.Los felicito son los mejores.Disfruto con interes ,entusiasmo y melancolia cada video que suben.(aa y tambien decirles que son muy respetuosos y detallistas con lo que muestran .Excelente! (Desde Chile,un saludo )
Wow, Lesley, Already the picture makes me curious, and I am so excited!! - The furniture is looking very beautiful and the interior is breathtaking. - I am already looking very much forward to this video from the Bros of Decay - and I just hit the thumbs up button of course! Kindest regards.
Multiple heirs would have items appraised and get ready for auction. Bravo to these heirs for allowing someone to treasure these items and preserve them vs decay as you have seen. Remarkable. TY for the tour! Stunning caught before decay.
That place has been cleaned within the past month or two.nYou can tell be lack of a dust build up. There is some be not bad. Nor are or the overly dirty floors.
BRAVO! Simply elegant and silently beautiful This is beyond words I certainly hope someone will save the priceless historic items To a museum or private collection is better than rot
I'm interested in seeing old beds and how they're are designed. I feel like old beds are so cool because they are as old as the person that uses it before they are gone.
Leslie, I was entranced by the candelabra you were dodging to view the piano! Also, it looked like a Native Indian Peace Pipe & maybe a small Headdress on that small shelf. Love you♡
I do not believe this is abandoned. Just because people aren’t currently living there, doesn’t mean it is open for viewing. Could be probate issues, could be auction company is working on listing for internet auction, could be tax auction. Could be a bunch of scenarios that are not your business.
The bed you asked about is a sleigh bed, as you said. The German drinking cup is called a stein. This magnificent manor was quite a discovery. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thankyou what a stunning place.... deff a relative who died old and havnt sold house yet the children! May of had squatters in there from the dates on certain things. I hope family sells those beautiful antiques and sells the house, be a shame to let it rot. I know you would of left the place secure... does worry me the family get a big shock when they seen you in there place.... but is lovely to see the history ... we all abit curious of these beautiful buildings and who lived in them .. Thankyou guys...a beautiful bit of history 💓
Just absolutely breathtakingly beautiful place!! All you can say is wow' wow 'wow 'wow 'wow! Someone sure had beautiful exquisite taste! Of all the places you've taken us to and seen this one is my favorite! Who would think something that gorgeous would just be left sitting there abandoned how sad! And I do think and you can't help but think with so many homeless people how selfish people can become! It's okay to have a nice home but remember to be humble is to be really truly fine! But it sure was beautiful ! Thank you so much for showing it to us it was truly incredible! Sincerely wishing love and light to you from Robin McCaul from Massachusetts.

French is the language of birds and Diplomatic... I studied in My College, by the way, where are you Now?
It is surprisingly clean for an abandoned home.
True
I thought so too. What's behind all this???
It has only been abandoned for a few years. The auctuioneers had to dust and clean in preperation for the auction.
Yes unbelievable

Condemned signs.
When a door is locked

Does this set

Yes, because every single item had a little paper sticker on it . Auction for sure .
The wallpapers used in this home are exquisite ❤️

Probably silk
I was admiring the beauty of the wallpaper as well!
Not a great deal of dust. Someone is taking care of that place.
How could anyone leave such beautiful things wow
I agree, one of my initial observations.
The first thing you notice when you enter an abandoned house is dust and cobwebs. Some of the pieces in this house were shiny!
@@maureen6710 Did you see the foam in the kitchen sink!!!
Might be heritage home??
This place is totally awesome. The beautiful wallpaper, the marble floors and mantels. The most unique things I've ever witnessed. So fun and stunning.
Seems like it’s being cleaned occasionally... doesn’t look like five years of dust.
Exactly!
I was thinking that too!
most abandoned palaces and castles seem much cleaner than my own home
I noticed how clean the big mirror at the beginning looked. Also, there are numbered stickers on the furniture.

Their handling of surfaces is really impressive, the fabrics, papers, tiles, moulding and paint. Beautifully done!
They should turn these places into museums so people can visit and experience what it was like liking living in those times.
It also creates jobs and income
It’s not worth it. Number one nobody would go a number to all the taxes associated with running any sort of business are too high. Socialism sucks.
versaille? and i mean there's other houses like that, maybe they don't have the furnitures but they look the same
and here a part of the furnitures are from the 80s
That for me would spoil the authenticity. The whole attraction is that Noone else has been there.

อยากทราบความเป็นมาฉันสนใจชื่นชอบวีดีโอนี้มากๆ
I really love this home. I get a sense of peace, and happiness in this place. Beautiful!
Very much so
@@angeladallimore8079 yes I get the same feeling.
Right
Absolutely beautiful! Never seen anything like this before. You are so very respectful of your surroundings and all items.
Yes the guy is very very respectful and good
A lovely mansion, so many beautiful things left behind. I noticed a couple of negative comments - ignore them, I think you are doing a great service reminding people about the treasures of the past and how sad it is to leave them forgotten to decay. Loved it.
Hi Leslie and everyone, long time no see, as the saying goes. There is so much to comment on in this place. I know someone comes in there to dust the place. The “flattner “ I think is an ink blotter and those two things you thought were paddles are fans to cool yourself. Everything in this mansion is so beautiful. I really like the figurines. I would like to visit the place but not live there. You need money for the upkeep of the house and grounds. Oh well, the spiders appreciate the place. Right? I do need to mention one more thing. Your introduction at the beginning is very thoughtful and wise.Thank you Leslie for being such a caring individual and loving also.
A place in time to remember but never forget ? I got that just now and it is supposed to use those words in that precise way for the meaning...( VIBRATION) other ways changes the meaning of the words that are used to describe the VIBRATION. VIBRATION. I am a CINDI ! NICE TO MEET YA. I APORECIATE YOYR NOTICING THAT SOMEONE DUSTS ! WHAT DO YA MAKE OF THIS FRENCH PLACE THAT IS MAINTAINED LIKE A DECORATOR LEFT IT. THAT IS VERY VERY UPPER HIGH CLASS. PERHAPS ROYALTY AND MONEY GO TOGETHER SINCE IT IS IN EXCELLENT TASTE. I MET ONE ONCE ! HA HA. FROM NEW YORK NOT ROYALTY BUT SOCIAL GRACES AND AWARENESS OF THE BEST AND HIGHEST STANDARD FOR THEIR TIME IN LIFE. OH HELL PARTY NAKED ! LA DEE DA DEE DA DA DEE DA DEE AAAAA
Everything in this house is amazing..not to late for renovations..still beautiful!
Leslie you are so respectful of your finds, e admire you for that and we always look at your films at least twice. Thank you from armchair travelers from the USA. We could never have these experiences if not for you and your associates ❤️
Leslie, I could listen to you talking all day long, So soothing.
The furniture is so beautiful, i truly hope someone buys it. The mirror is stunning
so beautiful my grand daughter has me hooked ben watching three weeks now i am 65 years old and love it so much
Just makes me wonder what happened to these ppl. I think it would be great if you can get the story behind all these places 🤍🤍🤍🤍
This was by far the best exploration to date, in my opinion. Spectacular!!! I hope that someone saves the antiques, it would be a shame to let them be destroyed. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Hope someone can save the home too! It's really in great shape. It would be a shame to see another home go back to the earth. Makes me so sad to see that. If homes could talk!
The little wooden ‘stamp’ or ‘flattener’ is an ink blotter. You have found many in your videos and call them a stamp. Back in the day when ink and quill were used to write, they would place absorbent paper over the writing and roll the ink blotter over to dry any wet ink.
It breaks my heart to see a house that beautiful abandoned and in need of some love. I hope someone sees this video and buys and restores the house to it full formal glory.
07:35 - This is a 1920’s Framed 42” Lithograph by Fr. Laubnitz, „Mother Infant Baby Child & Cherubs“. Francois Laubnitz was his artist´s name. - His real name was Ernst Max Pietschmann (* 28. April 1865 in Dresden - † 1952 in Niederpoyritz).
Please do not attract more thieves in. Tx.
Appreciate the information ! Thanks

Wow, this is unbelievably beautiful. The smoking pipe was an American Indian peace pipe. A very strange item to find in a French countryside. This was awesome to see, thank you 😊
As an architect and interior designer, I find your content fascinating. Your videos are my new guilty pleasure. One word of advise, you might want to wear masks since these places are full of dust and mold.
Bravo! Look forward to seeing more.
Hello, NIce videos and I like your respect for others' belongings. I'm from the US and work selling antiques and vintage jewelry. I have some names for you for your adventures. The wooden and carved closets are called Armoires. The treasure chest is a steamer trunk. The pipe is a Native American Peace Pipe. The desk "Flatteners" are actually called blotters, usually made of wood and leather with an absorbent bottom to dab up excess ink. The desks with drop-down tables and cabinetry are called Secretaries. The Asian "Rackets" are Asian fans, to fan yourself in the heat. Hope that helps.
Beautiful rug in the girl's bedroom. And I wonder if the "statues" on the fireplace mantle could be fancy music boxes instead?
The second time I have watched this! Beautiful mansion and furniture. In excellent condition. So much more to see! Cabinets everywhere. Little ornate tables. Fabulous chairs. Gold all over. Thank you, again, Lesley! 💙🌙❄️
I'm so lucky that I can watch this video 🥺🥺I'm also lucky that I can watch his other videos that keep me sane and forgetting my problems in the world for a minute. this kind of video makes me feel like I live in one of these abandoned places 🥺 you gave me an unique feeling.. thank you
I agree. And also reading takes me far, far away. Take care.
First off, thanks for sharing your latest great find. I wanted to let you know that the place was being prepared for auction because everything is clean and ready to go. I would also guess that there is someone taking care of the place until auction. So many unique pieces! You're right, thousands of dollars worth of merchandise is waiting for a new home. Big hugs and love to you!
This is a wonderful structure with lovely details of architecture and design. The niches are a wonderful way to display items. The marble fireplaces are so fine! The furnishings are incredibly beautiful pieces of craftsmanship, but the antiques are what makes it so impressive! Incredible pieces of art! Amazingly extravagant mirrors, lovely porcelain figurines, Hummels, marble urns, fantastic clocks, paintings, vases- small and huge, so many impressive candleabra and chandeliers, excellent pianos! These items were the collection of a lifetime of taste and discernment, for every piece is truly a valuable antique! The people who owned this home were very well-educated, well-travelled, interesting people who had an appreciation of fine and beautiful things! What a wonderful time I had just looking at it all!
His voice is so calming it just adds to the soothing environment and vibes these vids give off
So beautiful, every part of the house, architecture, windows, wallpaper. What a truly special find. I hope that the loved ones will treasure it for years to come.
There was surprisingly little dust for an abandoned house. Perhaps someone is keeping an eye on it.
I suppose but they haven’t visited for a while I guess
I don't think anyone is taking care of this place look at the kitchen.
Might be so. My French uncle had a century old country home in Normandy his family only used during holidays. Like other French people who can afford a country home or “castle” most of the year it is abandoned.
@@mijnpaulijn955 I noticed the lack of dust in the house, however given the damage to the doors and the auction stickers, this isn't used as an annual country home. More likely this was cleaned up a bit when the auction company came in and labeled the items.
Beautiful home, thanks for preserving in video! I hope the gorgeous artifacts are preserved by appreciative people.
This place is gorgeous! Thank you for the peek inside!
Wow! This place is beautiful! I’d love to know what the story is. Incredible furniture & “stuff”
Those ceilings were incredibly high
Great video.
I enjoyed the music you chose for the video. The house was beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. I also enjoyed your accent and conversation. You sound so lovely to listen too.
I swear to sweet to hear
I pray for the actual owner rest in peace. He or she had many good details.
I truly appreciate seeing your sights that you explore, along with your explanations . May you and your brother stay healthy and safe.
What a magnificent home. It looks like they were set up for an estate sale to happen on the premises. The owners clearly had good taste, and the money to afford the very best of everything. The architecture is stunning, and has stood up well for its years of neglect. Thank you for sharing with us. Stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦
You have such an amazing heart. I love how respectful you are when exploring these places. You always handle things with care and putting things back where you found them. When you talked about equality you truly made me respect you all the more. I feel the same on that issue.
I love your channel! This place is breathtaking. It breaks my heart to see these places go to waste.
Just beautiful. And the music for your videos is so poignant and thoughtful. Thank you for your sensitive treatment of the material things these people once owned. Helps me put it all in perspective.
French Châteaus are amazing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful place! Love it! ❤
Lovely to watch a cultured explorer who knows their antiques...
Perhaps the auction was delayed because of the pandemic, whatever the reason it is an amazing opportunity for us to peek into an unparalleled mansion with its many antiques. There were many beautiful cabinets and mirrors, chandeliers and vases.
( I am confused about the presence of personal bidets but not toilets, I think we saw only one toilet in a separate small room, but perhaps there were more and you only showed the one)
I do enjoy walking through the past and imagining how the families lived. I have noticed that the French love the color eggshell blue in a lot of these mansions. That's what I enjoy, all of the pale colors and I see mostly eggshell blues and pale yellows with the wainscoting. It's beautiful. I noticed a few cameras in the rooms as you were filming this mansion. I do not believe this mansion is actually abandoned. The owner may have passed but I get the feeling the family is still around.
Yes think the family is still around probably at some time a care taker looking after the property. I feel this is someone's secret hideaway full of valubles in case one day they need to go somewhere in a hurry and in secret
I heard of the color French blue,so it must be a poplar color of the day,in the palace Versailles they used alot of gold and that shade of blue,its lovely
You are trespassing but I really like watching. This is obviously being kept up by the owners. Please keep it locked up tight.
Kept for the owners by someone living nearby
OK Karen.
@@sablearts763 actually this channel is a thieves favorite show... theres your Karen
Even the owners didn’t care about locking it up.
@@LGAussie How do you know this for sure when people kept on breaking in through windows, doors and call each other to let them know how to enter the building? Force-entry is illegal. This is trespassing. Period.
There's a satellite TV/internet dish on the side of the servants' house and several plastic water bottles throughout the house. There's also no dust anywhere. So...I'm pretty sure it's not abandoned lol. It also gave me such bad anxiety when you kept opening/moving stuff & not putting it back how it was 😂😩 I love your videos, though, and I think it's great how much you love old buildings. I just personally think you should always wear gloves. The oils from your hands can ruin/damage priceless antiques, and you could touch something bad without knowing it & get sick
I whole heartedly agree!
Yes they really need to wear gloves. I wonder if there’s also some kind of dispute over the property and contents. I can’t believe there are no alarms or security and it was practically wide open. It must be watched very often.
In another video a guy looked through the window of the servant house, it's abandoned as well.
I saw that too.As much as I love watching these shows.I cringe every time an item is not identified correctly.(A clock was called a lamp!) A little research would help so general items/ antiques are identified for the viewer. It takes away from the show a bit. There are so many treasures in so many of these places! Really incredible!
What could someone possibly touch and get sick by? This is preposterous.
This place is very beautiful indeed. For those that are arguing here in the comments section. Go watch the video again, and you will see the small white numbered auction stickers. This means the furniture and knickknacks, paintings, and every thing else are being auctioned off. Most likely in a live auction bidding via what ever site the auction house uses. People phone in, or uses something like a live chat to bid. Since this pandemic is still raging that is what most auction houses do. Of course things in the house has been pretty much cleaned up. It is very satisfying to see no spray painting crap on the walls, and broken furniture, or paperwork all over the floor. After the house is emptied of everything, either it will be sold by the bank, and or whom ever owns it. Yes there is black mold on the third floor, either the house will be deep cleaned or sold as is. Great video.
This place is so gorgeous and really what I think of as a dreamy "bucket list" manison I would love to visit. Thank you very much for this great video. It was the best thing shy of an actual visit.
I really believe the owners are currently planning to put those items up for auction. Those tags look brand new, not yellowed with age. Someone owns it but can’t afford the upkeep or to live there. How sad. Interesting how modern the bathroom looks yet the kitchen has not been remodeled.
The old unkept kitchen and the booze bottles suggest that an old man lived there, maybe he was getting ready to sell and go to retirement but he passed away probably in last 5 years because the mild has not taken over.
Uno de los mejjores canales que he visto,en cuanto al trabajo que haces.Mostrarnos el interior de casas mansiones palacios etc ABANDONAADAS.Los felicito son los mejores.Disfruto con interes ,entusiasmo y melancolia cada video que suben.(aa y tambien decirles que son muy respetuosos y detallistas con lo que muestran .Excelente!
(Desde Chile,un saludo )
Wow, Lesley, Already the picture makes me curious, and I am so excited!! - The furniture is looking very beautiful and the interior is
breathtaking. - I am already looking very much forward to this video from the Bros of Decay - and I just hit the thumbs up button of course!
Kindest regards.
Parabéns 👏 pelo vídeo.
Está manssao e um verdadeiro museu de muito bom gosto!🌷👏👏👏👏❣️
Multiple heirs would have items appraised and get ready for auction. Bravo to these heirs for allowing someone to treasure these items and preserve them vs decay as you have seen. Remarkable. TY for the tour! Stunning caught before decay.
That place has been cleaned within the past month or two.nYou can tell be lack of a dust build up. There is some be not bad. Nor are or the overly dirty floors.
It does look like somebody is taking good care of the house. They just missed the spider webs. Very nice house, but you have a talent for doing that.
Non credo che questa dimora sia abbandonata...e curata , pulita, lucida, nuova.... bellissima ❤️
BRAVO! Simply elegant and silently beautiful
This is beyond words
I certainly hope someone will save the priceless historic items
To a museum or private collection is better than rot
I'm interested in seeing old beds and how they're are designed. I feel like old beds are so cool because they are as old as the person that uses it before they are gone.
Thank you so much it was an Adventure with you through this amazing abandoned home. Bye all the way from Long Beach CALIFORNIA
Beautifully done guys🙏🏽😊 and always respectful looks into people’s lives and how they lived. No matter their situations, they’re being remembered..🌹
I fell in love with the square piano.It's from around 1800-1830
Did he close it again?😬
Leslie, I was entranced by the candelabra you were dodging to view the piano! Also, it looked like a Native Indian Peace Pipe & maybe a small Headdress on that small shelf. Love you♡
None of my business but by trespassing on their property and displaying their valuables to the world almost certainly means people will steal them.
I do not believe this is abandoned. Just because people aren’t currently living there, doesn’t mean it is open for viewing. Could be probate issues, could be auction company is working on listing for internet auction, could be tax auction. Could be a bunch of scenarios that are not your business.
@@wenDesigner Yeah maybe the family now lives in a city where they can stay warm in the winter without the insane cost of heating a giant mansion.
I am planing my trip to France hehehe just to visit 🤣🤣🤣 with empty luggage hahahaha
@@iBaudan omg Daniel 🤣 haha care to have a layover in Dublin and pick me up ?? We can go together 🤣👍🏻
The items are numbered, it is obviously been set up for auction. It is not abandoned, just unoccupied. You are trespassing in someones home.
I can imagine how amazing that would be to see that place remodeled and restored!
Wow!! I love this. Here in the 🇺🇸they called the servant quarters a carriage house. Love this place! Ty for sharing this with us!!
My dream home. Really! Thanks for showing us this marvelous place.
I wonder what can happen to someone to abandon such a mansion.
The bed you asked about is a sleigh bed, as you said. The German drinking cup is called a stein. This magnificent manor was quite a discovery. Thanks for sharing it with us!
WOW! Why are there so many abandoned mansions? This one is beautiful! Thank you.
So does someone come in occasionally and dust? Looks pretty good for having been left for so long. 😆
Thankyou what a stunning place.... deff a relative who died old and havnt sold house yet the children! May of had squatters in there from the dates on certain things. I hope family sells those beautiful antiques and sells the house, be a shame to let it rot. I know you would of left the place secure... does worry me the family get a big shock when they seen you in there place.... but is lovely to see the history ... we all abit curious of these beautiful buildings and who lived in them .. Thankyou guys...a beautiful bit of history 💓
You do a great job showing us these awesome places. The wall paper is even amazing. Thank you
Absolutely stunning. I'd have no problem to live there. Thank you.
OMG these antiques are AMAZING!!! WOW! And the house itself is also incredible! Thank you!!
Just absolutely breathtakingly beautiful place!! All you can say is wow' wow 'wow 'wow 'wow! Someone sure had beautiful exquisite taste! Of all the places you've taken us to and seen this one is my favorite! Who would think something that gorgeous would just be left sitting there abandoned how sad! And I do think and you can't help but think with so many homeless people how selfish people can become! It's okay to have a nice home but remember to be humble is to be really truly fine! But it sure was beautiful ! Thank you so much for showing it to us it was truly incredible! Sincerely wishing love and light to you from Robin McCaul from Massachusetts.
Wow what a GORGEOUS look into history !!! Thank you
