France’s Forgotten Castle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2017
- Nestled in the countryside sits an abandoned castle that was once the hub of French aristocratic parties. The Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers was first built in the 14th century as a stronghold for French nobles. In the Middle Ages, it was conquered by the British and devastated during the French Revolution, only to be eventually restored by relative of Napoleon III. Unfortunately, a violent fire in 1932 once again left the Château in ruins. While its fate remains uncertain, many efforts are being made to return the historic castle to its former glory.

Craigslist be like "Castle for sale, minor repairs"
"a fixer-upper." I think this one has a contribution organization, and should start soon, if not, already, work on it.
If it sees restoration, I hope they keep most of the vegetation, it actually looks really beautiful like that.
exactly what I was going to say
no
Drones are really a game breaking technology in video making world,
not to say the various other ways of using it.
I WANT TO LIVE THERE OH MY GODDD
Castles are very expensive and extremely annoying to maintain because of the old architecture
yes.
not related at all to the comment but u have the same name as me heheeheheheh
This is one of the most beautiful castles I've seen. I would to see it restored.
*sharpening sword
I need to go save sleeping beauty!
It probably looks better as a ruin.
Payhole Everdouche I can confirm that it does not.
It’s kind of ironic how it was burned down yet it’s surrounded by water.
BEAUTIFUL!
This castle is so charming
kroooassant Thanks for everything you've shared with here 😊 I'd look it up!
It’s so beautiful!! I would go if I were to stay in France for at least a week because it’s too far from Paris for me to visit if it was over the weekend.
Beautiful
that's one great urbex location
I hope restoration efforts are successful. This architectural masterpiece is too beautiful to let it continue to decay, and crumble into ruins.
I love abandoned places
Well, a castle half in ruins and covered with vegetation also has an appeal... I certainly like ti more this way than if they restore it to a brand new look.
Creepy....but magnificent!
France is a great place

Not if you're poor and African.
Payhole Everdouche isn’t that the same in every country tho? Plus why African, that’s just racist
@@ThePayola123 The French social system is the third best system in the world. If you are Poor you have access to big social help. In addition, University Will be free for you, you can have a bourse just if you have your baccalauréat, no mater if you have your baccalaureate at 18/20 or 10/20. You have it, you have a bourse if you are Poor. You have access to medecine and it Will cost nothing to you. Before speak, you should see that even in Europe, French Poor lives better than the rest european poor... Of course, I don't speak about USA lol.
That’s so cool
Not first but this is lit
It should be restored up.
I love history
.... I had almost forgotten
Hoiiii I love your videos
I hope its restored within my lifetime
Any updates?
It reminds me of Valyria from the game of thrones lol
Qui içi est de France ou Quèbec?! 🇫🇷 🇨🇦

Very pretty.

Looks like the Chateau level from Uncharted 3 😱
How much has been raised for restoration?
I rather they don't restore it. It's beautiful! reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki style
That's a nice to be part of an open world game
It's like narnia
I hope they don't restore it. It's beautiful the way it is.
They should totally restore this....
You're an idiot
They need to keep it preserved. They could keep it like that but make the walls sturdier.
Prince Mononoke you must be a mother nature type of person instead of the history type
jessithejess who would pay money to keep a building from falling but not rebuild it lmao nobody will spend money to leave it in ruins just so it can stay that way for ever lmao
How does fire burn brick?
THERES SOMEBODY LIVING IN THAT TOWER AT 0:55 I ASSURE YOU
I'm pretty sure I played this level in Uncharted 3!
This is a map in overwatch lol
But Eichenwald is in Stuttgart, Germany.
Fishy Fisch This is the FFA map for widow
Deseo decreto y atraigo un Castillo como este para mi vida asi es amen amen amen
Ughh i want to go here
❤ French Renaissance 🇫🇷🏰
Shrek is the one responsible for destroying the castle, not the fire, the British, nor nature.
And he thus replied, "What are you doing in my swamp?!"
A fire destroyed a castle dam times havnt changed much smh
this is a cool story, this is what i want to see instead of identity politics
Dont restore , its beautiful like this , just make sure it doesnt break
I feel this is the old castle you go to in the beginning of Uncharted 3. And this place was host to a house fire?? Does anybody else agree with me, or am I just crazy???
Yeah, I had the exact same thought occur to me.
Ils Ne Passeront Pas
Is that chateau Guillard?
The Motte Baussay was taken twice by the English in the Middle Ages and devastated during the French Revolution.
Lol that line came straight from Wikipedia
Not gonna lie it's pretty small... I have friends with houses bigger than that, assuming those trees aren't like redwoods.
Castles with moats must have had wicked mosquito populations....
LagiNaLangAko23 Oh yes they're pretty much everywhere, but they're smaller in colder areas.
As far as I know the only country without mosquitoes is Iceland.
They need to act quick. Those trees can do so damage.
You're gonna need to drain that feckin swamp first
it looks like the castle in uncharted 3
いいね
Heyyy
Fran(k) castle?
Forgotten? Not forgotten. Demons live their.
:-)
If Macron does not restore it, why should we???

If nothing is done, the trees will make the walls crumble

Demolish it and build a McDonald's
Americans You underestimate your culture a little
isnt this the castle that was home to a sex "cult"
You mean the one that Benjamin Franklin was a part of? I think that was a different castle.

Nils Tillander not true for snails, oysters and frogs. I eat those sometimes myself.
