Castles never fetch much money. Especially when they are listed. In the UK, if your building is listed you can prepare to put your money in the garbage. The "so-called" historical department would rather you burn it to the ground that allow you to have anything modern inside, or even a non-approved color. There have been countless buildings which fell to ruin because they were unwilling to bend on their extremist views. Also, castles are amazing expensive to maintain. You can expect your yearly costs for such a building to well exceed 100k per year. New roof? Just the scaffolding will set you back 70k.
It doesn't come with keys. It comes with an army of sentries, two of whom stand guard at the bridge and quiz visitors with riddles. Duh. Unless, of course, you're referencing the keys to the dungeon... in which case I feel you. SUCH a bummer when you can't find those.

I once lived in a huge and old appartment with some friends, but it was to big and the ceilings too high, so that we could afford to warm it up properly at wintertime here in the north Europe.

This is a nice one. The moats are “Dry” but definitely built for water originally. The stone work, masonry, is great on this place. I’ve gotta ask though. Are there now just too many properties like this that people thought would draw many guests for lodging? I think there’s just too many properties now days. Then minimum requirements expected now days such as swimming pool, tennis courts, chapel, orchards, gardens, chef prepared menus. Fierce competition. But such gorgeous places for sure.

I'd buy it as my daytime house. I'd have to buy something else to sleep in because there's no way I'm staying in that castle at night time. What was beautiful in the light turns creepy in the dark.
Some years ago, when I had money, I had inscribed myself with a specialised castle real-estate broker in France. I was absolutely taken aback that they had new castles and manors for sale EACH week. Apparently, France is literally littered with them which is surprising, given the enormous amounts of war the French tend to wager internally. The problem with these castles and mansions is that it takes millions to restore and the French have no National Heritage as a back-up. They do not care for their history.
@Dindon Farci Right. thanks. Does France has a fund like National Heritage? I read about a family where the parents and the kids each buy castles for a song and then restore them to sell, as a business.
Not in this case. The château was finalized in the XVIth century. At this time, deep moat had already gone out of style. Châteaux were not as defensive as they used to be two or three centuries ago.
Okay everyone! I figured this out. I just need 23 people to go in on this with me at $502 USD a month and this could all be ours! Servants will be extra.
Just what I need, one of those on top of my existing worries. I have my electricity bill to pay this week, and the cat costs me $10 per week to feed, that's when he shows up covered in scratches after disappearing for several days at a time.
Please keep your cats in ( I have 4 ) It is dangerous out there for them and they are an invasive species killing native wildlife. It takes a while but they will thank you for your effort. A cat wants to control its territory but it doesn't care how large its territory is ! Toys, scratching poles, things to climb up on top of, nesting spots all help keep them stimulated & happy. It's worth a try.

Castles in Europe can be bought relatively cheaply, however these properties often come with strict conditions on maintenance and thats where the real cost is.

I'd buy it as my daytime house. I'd have to buy something else to sleep in because there's no way I'm staying in that castle at night time. What was beautiful in the light turns creepy in the dark.
Ha! Speak for yourself. ;)
@@ixlnxs That's literally what I did.
@@Anna_Stetik Don't worry, I turn creepy in the dark too. ;)
Some years ago, when I had money, I had inscribed myself with a specialised castle real-estate broker in France. I was absolutely taken aback that they had new castles and manors for sale EACH week. Apparently, France is literally littered with them which is surprising, given the enormous amounts of war the French tend to wager internally. The problem with these castles and mansions is that it takes millions to restore and the French have no National Heritage as a back-up. They do not care for their history.
Similar to the Spanish - it’s really the Brits that love to save old buildings regardless of cost!
@Rachelle Roberthon Favaloro We all know that French is destined to be a dead language:

@Dindon Farci Right. thanks. Does France has a fund like National Heritage? I read about a family where the parents and the kids each buy castles for a song and then restore them to sell, as a business.
It's adequate for me and my six chats Especially the wood paneled study and library. Cozy. Apple orchards and a fountain would be fine additions.
I'm surprised the moat is so shallow. I thought they were always much deeper.
Not in this case. The château was finalized in the XVIth century. At this time, deep moat had already gone out of style. Châteaux were not as defensive as they used to be two or three centuries ago.
Okay everyone! I figured this out. I just need 23 people to go in on this with me at $502 USD a month and this could all be ours! Servants will be extra.
It's not the asking price, it's the annual upkeep. I can't keep all that grass mowed by myself.
You clearly either don't work your slaves hard enough or need more of them
@@64maxpower That's repugnant.
@@earlyburg It was really the asking price, the castle is near my home.
I was going to buy it, but dry motes ? Where I'm from we call those ditches. ;)
Just what I need, one of those on top of my existing worries. I have my electricity bill to pay this week, and the cat costs me $10 per week to feed, that's when he shows up covered in scratches after disappearing for several days at a time.
Please keep your cats in ( I have 4 ) It is dangerous out there for them and they are an invasive species killing native wildlife.
It takes a while but they will thank you for your effort. A cat wants to control its territory but it doesn't care how large its territory is !
Toys, scratching poles, things to climb up on top of, nesting spots all help keep them stimulated & happy.
It's worth a try.
@@bogtrottername7001 Relax, relax please. Gingy is one of the many ferals roaming in the area. He came with the house when I bought it which is in his territory. He took me over and we became best friends. I love my Gingy.
@@bogtrottername7001 I had a cat born on my farm that couldn't catch a cold. he thought every living thing was his new friend.
I bought all the moat water, it was truly delicious
"you've got two empty halves of coconuts and your'e banging them together!"
Does it come with staff,land,farm,animals and would the dry moat hold waters like in the old days
The last Chateau I bought with a dry moat was a complete shit show never again, my boating firework extravaganza was a complete non starter this year! I'd even took some of my serfs from the fields to act as target dummies for the hasty hunt we had to arrange after the debacle. Louis XIV was a no show, and no bread meant we had to eat cakes again. Never again!
Teaser! Three rooms out of dozens? I need to see it all!
Pardon me do you have any grey poupon?
THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM KITCHEN!
"Some day son, all this will be yours"
"Wot,... The curtains? "
Not the curtains lad. ...
@@simonheaney8721 but mother. . .
I’ve always craved having huge ..... tracts of land.
G M we live in a bloody swamp.... need all the land we can get! . Your marrying princess loonie so.. you’d better get used ..to the idea!
I just want to sing ....
If an old crone shows up some snowy night offering a rose, LET HER IN!
This looks like the one they did a movie in Ever After with Drew Barrymore!
I really like this castle , I am sure it had it's glory bygone days

Advertised as Dry moats, then description says comes with pool and tennis court. My mind said, wait what, does this mean the moat is the swimming pool and tennis court, so confused ;)
I guess I gotta put my gators in the pool then
@@davidanalyst671 Drydocked gators, not the same level of fun for the tourists :P
No thank you, I've already got one. It's very nice.
Très belle demeure avec trente trois hectares vraiment beaucoup de potentiel malheureusement il lui faut un mécénat pour entretenir une telle demeure. Sinon, magnifique propriété merci pour la vidéo.
This is an absolute dream
I’m not sure how well my Big Lots furniture will match the decor, so I guess I’m out.
Oh my, but what will prevent the Moors from invading being that the moat is dry.
The Moors may be living in it soon enough
Where do I sign? I don't have a castle in France yet. My English, German, Italian and Spanish castles are just not enough.
Lovely place! And I like the guest house on the property.
I wonder what the electricity bill and water bills run each month on homes this grande? Guess if I have to ask.... Can't afford it! 😅😅
sigh... property taxes will crush the owner.
Château de Sendat is the name of the property. Don't know why they don't include that in the description.
Dry moats and no drawbridge, soon sort that out (when I win the lottery)
This is not easy as the moat is most likely dry to dry the walls or keep water out of the basement - wet walls can rot and cause giant repair costs.
This is a chateau, not a real castle. It’s the new fashion when the powder age revolutionized war and ultimately the world.
Does it have any plumbing for sewer or is that how the moat gets filled?
Wait, $2.5M? Something seems off. That seems really cheap. In the US, the land alone would cost a million+.
Must be an "up and coming area."
Or haunted
Castles in Europe can be bought relatively cheaply, however these properties often come with strict conditions on maintenance and thats where the real cost is.
@@wheresmycheesecake If I buy the castle, am I the "lord" of the people who live on my property?
@@speedspeed121 Interestingly enough yes, under certain conditions aristocratic titles can be bought or acquired through purchase or acquisition of certain properties or land. You won't have any "lordly" authority over people of that region but you will be the "lord" of your land and manor.
@@wheresmycheesecake Thank you for the education!
Simply incredible.
But
Can it do a BARREL ROLL?
I bet there’s a few ghosts in there!! 👻
Ghosts were created by the nobility to stop us killing them and taking their shit! We'd be afraid they'd come back to haunt us!
Does not work for me. How should I prevent the black knight from entering the castle without a functional moat?
£ 1,9m with 33ha of land, sounds cheap to me, if it was in kent or sussex in the UK it would be 5x that at least
Plus another £4m to renovate, plus £ 20,000 to heat through the winter, plus......
I'd like to have a castle for all my wives and children and friends too. Wed need the areas surrounding to grow things.
If I sold my 3 bed flat in London I could buy this and have a wadge left over to fill the cellar with wine !
What a nice little deer shack for hunting. Does the staff stay on? Very nice.
