The reason there were more than one master bedroom was because, back in the day you would have lived in the house with your parents.Sometimes even your grandparents.So you needed lots of bedrooms, especially if you had lots of children as well.That was probably my favorite place you have brought us so far.I just wish someone would fix it up but,it would definitely cost millions of dollars to do so.Can't wait to see what you bring us next and,as always we love you too guys.Be safe.
I'm glad I read you're comment as I was about to mention historical sleeping and household arrangements myself. It's such a waste these days how one family one house is the norm. Great comment
Back in the day the wealthy had their own bedroom, even married couples. Sharing a bed was for poor people who couldn't afford more space. Also, if it was used as a country retreat, for hunting parties for example, there would have been lots of guests.
It’s amazing that people spend lifetimes building up such wonderful houses, filling them with objects, memories, and love, only to have it all forgotten and abandoned. It’s beautiful and sad. What a fantastic video ♥️
Imagine the original owners still inhabit the place as ghosts, if so they're probably happy the house is still full of their favorite possessions & memories rather than being empty :)
A house or castle, each can be a prison if people cannot grow emotionally in them and lead fulfilled lives. You don't want to be a slave to the restoration of a place like this, if it means sacrificing your life. There's no movement there, everything is in a state of stasis. I grew up in the country and I can tell you nobody with youth and vitality wants to be isolated and waiting for something to happen. There is no point restoring without purpose, and what would be an economic basis for restoring this place? A hotel? Why would anyone stay there? Is it close to attractions? How much would restoration cost? So many unanswered questions. The reality is the world is constantly. moving towards greater urbanisation, and places like this would cost a fortune to restore let alone maintain and heat. Brrr! While it's charming to look at the craft skills of the builders and makers and the quaint things inside, living there would give me the absolute creeps, especially the ghostly entrance with those dead animals spookily staring into the air with those glass eyes. There is probably some kind of protection order on the place as well. Complicated to modernise and find a purpose for it.
That is one of the most amazing abandoned buildings I’ve ever seen. It’s sad to think it’s all just sitting there rotting, falling apart but also something beautiful and more fascinating because of its state of decay. Nothing lasts forever.
I see what you’re saying but if no one or to take a monetary interest in these historical items then these historical items would eventually be lost forever
In the children's bedroom with the pink beds, on the desk, it's not "some sort of a stamp", it is a blotter. So, after you signed your name or whatever on something, you would blot up the excess ink by rolling that across it. Just thought you might be interested.
Lesley- I just love your documentaries. I have degrees in Anthropology, the study of humans, and it’s exactly what you do. On archaeological digs you dig and find artifacts and have to use imagination to see the families and people there and how they would have lived and used everything in their daily lives. You do this as well, I love when you say things like “I can see them here playing games by the fire” or “they would gather here for Christmas dinner then relax together as a family”. That’s what we do, use artifacts to tell their story. Tell the human experience through even mundane objects. And you truly respect the people who lived their and their possessions. I truly love your channel. You tell the human experience through these wonderful forgotten places. You’re an anthropologist at heart! ❤️
Gorgeous castled, fabulously presented. Lesley, it is kewl that you want to change the name of your channel. But - do you want to make your programs less/shorter? Please don't. We love the attention you give to detail. We do not want to lose it.
The curved device you called a “stamp” (25:40 mark), next to the ink well, is actually an ink blotter. When you get finished writing with the quill & ink, you’d roll the ink blotter over the writing to “blot” up any excessive wet ink that may still be on the paper to make it less messy/to avoid any ink blotches.
How to make video's like this: -Find abandoned place -Contact owner, get permission to enter (Of course don't mention it in the video) -Find some area with lots of trees, so that it seems that you really had a hard time to find/ enter it. -Before you film any room, rearrange furniture and stuff to make it look even cooler. -Act like you got discovered, run away and shake the camera a lot to enhance the panic feel. There you go, now you can make Urban exploration videos too! Lovely castle though! :)
Thought exactly the same.....someone owns or inherited the property and probably felt overwhelmed about the renovation involved and the cost associated.
The ancient device by the coat rack that you didn't know what it was, is a field chair. You go out to observe the hunt, poke it in the ground and sit on it. I do enjoy your videos.
What appear to be "abandoned properties" are frequently long & drawn out inheritance disputes, with a court order to prevent all parties from disturbing the property. They can drag on for years on end, allowing "photo journalists" to trespass &/or loot
Wow. When i was little, i used to daydream about inheriting a castle from an unknown, mystery aunt or uncle. And here one was, without an owner. Fascinating
There aren't enough words to describe the beauty of this magnificent castle! You're lucky to observe and touch precious artifacts you'd normally find in a museum! The purple and lavender bedroom is my favourite !😍 Thank you for this stunning exploration !
I guess nobody claimed the castle because of the back taxes.that you would have to pay. It would be too much the clean up and the taxes in retro Monika
@@monikaa653 yeah well they shouldn't let this go to waste either cuz there's some values in there museum government got money I just being f****** greedy turn that into a museum history people
@@williamwilliam5066 I disagree. That master bedrooms furniture is worth some $$$$ and the lighting fixtures, the antiques. Such a shame for the castle to crumble around things that should be salvaged.
@@InAHandBasket I agree with you, so many beautiful antiques just sitting there as the home crumbled around it all. Beautiful furniture, glassware, portraits, historical paperwork and the books.
Wow, nice place. I can't believe the country doesn't put them up for auction and give the new owner a restoration loan with low interest, the country can also sell off any of the antiques to pay off some of the back taxes or something. It's just a shame they let these beautiful places decay. Thanks, Lesley for another great video.
@Joni Marchese My heart is bleeding when I see all these beautiful historical things slowly decaying and fading away. As you said, the country should do something to help people with the restoration.
@@lechat8533 Exactly, as the explorers have said in the past, this happens sometimes due to the fact that family members can't afford the upkeep, the taxes or something so the homes are left to decay.
Someone probably owns it, and it's not abandoned. The fact it's just sitting there means nothing. If this was the US there's a good chance they would leak before leaving the home they broke into. Trespassers get shot.
the truth is, in europe there are so many buildings like this that they have to choose their battles, and normally only restore buildings thay have significant historical value. a building that was just owned by rich people is probably not high on the list. as americans, our country is so new that we look at something like this with awe, but the truth is there’s a assload of old houses dotting the european countrysides
@@dunderheadgood Yes, that`s true. But nevertheless, it`s all a question of preference. The governments could help if they wanted to. If they are able to dump billions into Ukraine then such projects could be easily managed. But they are all too busy stuffing their own pockets. I believe, that`s the main problem.
Amazing find! Looks completely untouched. Thats insane! Makes me wonder how many hidden compartments or secret pathways you didn't find. That place truly deserves to be a museum.
Yes I agree a shame in the least. Where's the rich guy who wants to buy it and preserve it outright? This place is a mind boggling time capsule and there's so much to learn from it.
I can't believe those female French Country style bedrooms- never saw anything so beautiful! I remember there was one (or 2 in the bathroom you were unable to go into) claw foot bathtubs I want to back and re watch for- my favorite are the ancient bathrooms! I can't believe someone just leaves these places to be ruined!
I absolutely love your videos! As a lady who does not get to travel much(to old and to poor), let alone be able to explore the kind of places that you do. As a history buff, it is thrilling to see these historic locations. I think that not all the bedrooms that had two singles beds next to each other are not all children's rooms. Back then Husband's and wife's slept in separate beds that would be in the same room. Also where the dried-up ink well was.....what you called a "stamp" of some type is actually called a "blotter". It was to bot(or soak up) the extra ink on the paper.
Oh Leslie, this castle is amazing. You went to the top floor, before you entered the red room with the beautifully carved bed you took a deep breath, my heart jumped out of my chest I was scared and didn't know what to expect. I was so into this video and then you open the window to peer out at the towers and the beautiful scenery there was a little fear there for me I'm afraid of heights. You did a splendid job showing this beautiful home. Thank You!
Dude, I would pay an unbelievable amount of money for some of those taxidermy pieces from that castle. An extinct species of European wolf, shot in the mid 1800’s, and came from a French castle, are you kidding me? That would be the absolute crown jewel of any hunter/naturalist/biologist/historian collection. Unbeatable. Also, I believe that ivory piece from the table with the pictures of women and the music notes is actually a walrus tusk. Awesome.
Whoever lived there sure was an avid hunter.From what I seen so far it's going to be another amazing place.Can't wait to see it.Thanks for finding it and bring it to us to see.
Despite all the decaying areas, it still looked in pretty good shape. Alot of the items you talked about were gorgeous. I couldn't go there, because I'd want to clean the place up. Thanks for showing the castle.
Most abandoned places have graffiti and everything is smashed. I'm kinda confused at how "abandoned" this really is. There's things that are worth more than the structure and that makes no sense.
@@juniorsir9521 because then people would find it and destroy it. Its not abandoned, nothing in that condition is abandonded this is private property and SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE owns the rights to this house and land. This man is technically trespassing
@@andrewkaminskas7721 I’m guessing they got permission and possibly even payed the owners a fee to enter. You could see on the way onto the property all the fields were mowed and the driveway was in use. There’d be full time grounds keepers and 24-7 security, there’s no way all that stuff including a rifle is just “abandoned” as you said.
What a fine castle. Just when I thought the lavender room was the loveliest and it was oh definitely, that bed, the vanity, the chaise lounge and matching chair:) then we were treated to the pink room in its matching accents. The last large bedroom, ivory colored I believe had a beautiful bed and vanity. The stained glass chandelier would look beautiful wherever it was placed. The tiny bathroom? Very mysterious:) so much to look at in wonderment, thank you so much for this elegant glimpse into your historic find.
Loved this one too. It’s so odd how some rooms are so untouched and looks so pristine and others are under decay. I pray they at least restore these beautiful furnishings and artifacts. It’s a-shame someone doesn’t purchase it and restore the entire castle. Thank you Leslie for another awesome tour. ❤️ Blessings
I could watch your videos all night! I’m an old lady (well not that old lol)who loves to see a handsome young man that takes his time through these videos and describes things so perfectly! The cameraman is also very good thank you for going slowly so we can enjoy and take in all the lovely sights!!❤ you guys should be making this into a television series!
It’s already a series… you don’t need to put it on cable tv and have the corporation dictate how Leslie does it, and where he goes. I like it better on UA-cam, where we can help him financially privately.
Hey Bros! Despite the bizarre taxidermy, from the trailer, you can see that this documentary has very amazing details, wonderful furniture with intense colors.
Even tho taxidermy and killing animals for it is gross to me, it is extremely valuable to someone with the money to purchase these ancient heads and backboards. Big money here.
Когда поднялись по ступенькам и вышли через окно на балкон- этот вид снаружи и сам замок просто великолепен.И мебель можно ещё спасти.Я раньше покупала антикварную мебель для себя,когда средства позволяли,- и хочу сказать,что все это ещё можно реставрировать и создать шикарный музей прошлого.Очень жаль,что никому нет дела.Благодарю за видео.
When we climbed the stairs and went out through the window to the balcony, this view from the outside and the castle itself is simply magnificent. And the furniture can still be saved. I used to buy antique furniture for myself when funds allowed - and I want to say that all this can still be restored and create a chic museum of the past. It's a pity that no one cares. Thanks for the video.
Hi Leslie and crew, very much loved the personal BBQ you added at the end, really gave us a glimpse of the world of you and your colleagues. So so love these videos. You guys rock. Until next time. Luv from Moncton NB, Canada 🇨🇦 💖
I'm surprised that so many documents have been left there unattended. I bet there are a lot of stories that can be surmised by the documents alone. Pretty fascinating that you were able to film inside such an elaborate castle without much interference. I wish more old buildings and castles were as easily documented as this one. (P.S. Subscribing.)
So glad you guys tour these abandoned castles/châteaux. These videos preserve some of the history before it’s completely lost. I have such respect for what you do! Another wonderful tour.
Hello Lesley! Nice exploration the Castle keeps many of original furniture and many architecture details 👌. Very easy to be lost inside of the Castle. Thank you always is nice listening your narration with your lovely voice! 😊😉😍👍😊
Quite amazing. Even if no one could afford to restore this castle, it would be good if someone would salvage some of the exquisite furniture. Thanks for sharing this awesome explore.
If no remaining family, the contents could be auctioned off with all proceeds going to a worthy cause, no billionaire foundation though..small local charities that would be really thankful for funds or to fund something well needed by the local communities
Love the lilac bedroom 🥰💖 Of course, libraries are my favourite room...🤷🏼♀️ You promised to show us the family crest, yet it's blurred off ... 😣 In the white & red bedroom desk, is not a roller stamp, but an ink blotter, to dry out the writing before smudging it. I am old enough to have been taught to write 'longhand' in ink 🤦🏼♀️ I think the lady was a medical doctor, those instruments in the bedroom with single 2 beds, in the box on the desk there were an ampoule where an injectable solution were stored, and the huge cylinder was an ancient syringe....used huge needles too
yes it will be very hard for anyone to find out the location of this place especially hard since it used to be inhabited by the royal family of France before the revolution.... Sike
I'm only 18 minutes in to this video, HOLY MOLY SMOKES COW!! It seems criminal to me that this giant property full of priceless furniture and oddities is being lost to decay and time! I really hope that atleast a few handfuls of those things will be salvaged by someone? Those antique animal mounts are worth a small fortune. Not to mention what's hiding behind the walls in the many hidden places I'm sure one could find.... Thanks for taking us with you!!
WOW! This might be my favorite of your videos. You guys make a top notch video! I've seen several others but none as good as yours. Thank you for an amazing tour!
Such a gorgeous place! The furniture was stunning!! Thank you for sharing this with us! I wish we could have seen the outside but I understand why you can't reveal it.
Leslie, You have a voice that is easy to listen to. You show so much respect for the families and the buildings. The vandalism is awful. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future with your talent of narration.
Also,the joy with which this creator explores and his respect for the structures and their contents is wonderful. French men are very different from our American boys.
@@charlespace4578 whatever his country of origin,he's got a very different attitude than the typical male from my country. They are agressive here,hyper agressive and think that is the way to display their manhood. The average one would have destroyed this beautiful place just to do it. I'm sorry but it is the truth. The whole 🌎 knows it too. It is no longer a big secret,not that it ever really was.
Leslie… Brilliant absolutely brilliant! I can’t believe this beautiful castle is just going to fall to pieces with all of its history in it. Breaks my heart. I wasn’t too keen on all the taxidermy, but I know they used to do that also as a show of wealth. They had a bunch of fawns though. That made me rather sick. And all the books such a waste. Beautiful architecture and all the moldings around the ceilings were just to die for. Thank you so much hope you enjoyed your barbecue😉 Love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸🇺🇦🕊🌻
A place like this needs a full restoration and open to the public to keep places like this alive! It’s just so sad no one can afford to live in places like this anymore!
Servants generally slept in attic not basement. Basements were generally for all the services. They would have food storages, cold rooms, etc in the basements.
This is just amazing! Even if the place can't be saved, the furniture and fittings must be worth saving I would hope. I can't believe the place hasn't been looted by now. Thanks so much.
Everything done with such workmanship, beautiful colors, love for the results of their work. So sad to see it slowly go to ruin. Thank you for the history of such beautiful places
Right? That plaster work… there aren’t craftsman that even do stuff like that anymore. If you see this in new places it’s all prefabricated. What a shame it’s crumbling from neglect!
You never disappoint and your my favorite explorer. You do such a lovely show for everyone to watch and follow but more important we learn some history.
I like how much you care, respect these places and describe them. Even if you didn't mention how much you loved things, it's obvious. You show such awesome places. It's a shame to see them waist away. Take care.
Hey Lesley, wow, I love this castle, it is so beautiful. I loved those photo albums! There is so much history there, and I can see that it is not going to last much longer. I have never seen a hunting room like that, it was truly amazing, thank you for explaining the different animals! I hope people can go in and save all the antiques and history. I have never seen such beautiful bedrooms, and I love that you went down to where the servants were, it was like Downton Abbey. You're my friend, but you truly are the best explorer out there, keep on exploring, stay safe. xxoo Looking forward to your next video!
I'd like to know what that property is worth, given that, whomever is holding it, would be willing to sell it. I think that if a several people (if necessary) got together to purchase it, it could be restored and made into an incredible tourist attraction. This can't be left to it's own devices any longer... Seriously. I'd happily spend the rest of my life working to restore it.
I dont live in europe but in america something like this will be owned by a holding company or the like sitting on the property has value. This house with multiple acreage could still be worth a million or more dollars
The problem is, this is France, there are hundreds of places like this all over the country, all competing for tourists. I doubt it would actually bring in enough money to pay for maintenance costs. I remember just recently hearing about another mansion like this is France, if anything more beautiful than this one, that was demolished for lack of a buyer.
@@Aethgeir prob cuz there are a ton of these estates located in the middle of nowhere since the nobility wanted to isolate themselves from dirty peasants. If people wanted to see something from the period like this, they'd prefer a proper palace in a clustered historical site, than a castle in the middle of nowhere.
The condition of much of this castle is astonishing! I don't think I've ever seen one so beautiful. Thank you for hanging out in the lavender bedroom. I'm in love! I abhor the taxidermy critters though. xoxo
The lilac color bedroom was color of my bedroom when I was a teen back in the early 70's Love the color and that ceiling light. If this castle was restored, it would make a fabulous bed and breakfast.
This castle is amazing, loved the bedroom furnishings and decor.. that first staircase was beautiful. Loved every minute of your tour Lesley. Thank you. 🏰💕
Thanks for sharing, honestly love that you are so cautious about putting stuff back and leaving it how you found it. Such an amazing find. Thank you for exploring with us!
So much left unseen! There were doors to the towers in that 2nd master bedroom. Please open more doors and explore more! I bet there were secret rooms. I would have liked to see behind the fake books.
This guy frustrates me to no end, he walks right by doors, cabinets, those big metal cases, only opens one of the bookcase secret compartments, didn't notice a nice sized buddah I'm assuming was real jade... Lol. These vids are cool though but I would dig a lot deeper.
@@paulg3012 I know!! I’d love to see more!! I know he is trying to be respectful but dang he is in the house already! My faves are the kitchen and basements. So many expensive items left! I noticed that jade also!! He seems to be a sweetheart but he leaves so much unexplored.
@@brendabinau1187 I love the turned table legs and the massive beds and sideboards they must weigh a ton and the detail is insane, I wonder if they have termites there, if not they should be saved.
I also was hoping much more in-depth checking of compartments and doors,but I guess he probably had a deal if he filmed inside this place , though I like to of seen more in detail.
Gday mate. I just stumbled across your channel and I’m glad I did. What an amazing place enriched in history. I really hope the family salvages what is left. Great commentary also, really well spoken and things explained in great detail and excitement! Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up from Australia.
I really love this castle, glad you were able to filmed everything, those two bedroom were wow but sadly it look like it will never restored it’s beauty.
how could any museum not step up and try to save that house, or at least the fantastic collections and furniture in that house?! That is class from a bygone era!
Hi Bros ! Thank you for this incredible video. I thoroughly enjoyed that, I felt captivated ! Absolutely remarkable, intriguing and beautiful to see that. It's better than a museum and like stepping back in time.

Kaç yıldır sizleri ilgi ile izliyoruz. o eski yapıları eski eşyaları, eski evleri izleyince çok garip bir duygulara kapılıyor insan. Zaman tünelinde dolaşır gibi garip duygular.. Başarılar diliyorum.. Türkiye'den selam ve sevgiler...
I have watched a few of these videos now and I have to say, this is totally outstanding. All of their belongings left behind. How very very sad that it couldn’t be maybe a museum..I don’t want to accept that someone out there can’t to something to save this stunning moment in time..Thank you for the great respect that you have shown 👍
Clearly the property is owned by someone or an estate/trust whatever. But also obviously the mansion is in limbo-no one with the money or inclination to undertake the repair required to return it to its glory. Entirely possible too that the estate of the last owner still isn’t settled-with a large and complex estate without a proper or uncontested will (if that might be the case) then it could conceivably take decades to sort out. All the time this historical property and all the treasures within fall ever more into ruin-very sad.
I must say even though you are not my favorite explorer to watch, you do find and explore some of the most spectacular places with the most beautiful, amazing and interesting items that should be in museums. With that being said I still enjoy watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful lavender suite! I think the 2 people depicted on the wooden foot board, in pinkish room. Is supposed to represent the husband and wife. Similar to other royalty furniture. Thank you for providing such great videos and for protecting the location and identities.
This was a magnificent place and all the furniture. Wish someone would save this place. The purple flower room was great loved it. You find the best places. Would love to have seen it in person. Thank you Leslie love ya
Someone has saved this place and they intentionally made it this way so people can pay a fee then come and take tours threw the castle or mansion it is a very good money maker . Trust me this isn't abandoned.
Absolutely fascinating to see such intact history. Reminds me somewhat of the game Amnesia: The dark descent... It's very nice to see your gentleness towards the artefacts end interiors of the castle, as well as hiding its location and family name. That way it may still stand some years into the future, at least we can hope.
Thanks to Bros of Decay for this vidéo. 👍 I read all comments and I would like to answer some questions. I am French…. 🤩🤗 There are more than 40000 castles listes in France ( for 36000 towns/villages/hamlets….). 70 are really considered abandoned. What to do with all these fantastic mansions/castles ? It’s very easy to watch the video and ask to ourselves the question: why leave it abandoned ? : it’s not so simple here in France….. First: these castles Belong to someone and after a death, the opening of will can be a difficult thing for a big family. ( ex: if one of the heirs décides not to sell his shares, the others can do nothing…. and this can last for years ). The French government can’t do anything else because this castle is private ). Second: you inherit the castle ! Great !…….🤔…….NO ! Can you imagine How much the restoration would cost ( after the 30% tax on the value )? Moreover, you will not be able to do What you want for the restoration. Turn it into a hotel ? 🤪 why not ! ( but you will have to comply with safety standards of today…) To build a swimming pool outside ? 🤪 why not ! ( but you will have to keep the spirit of the castle visually… ) To build an elevator ? 🤪 ok ! ( but without breaking floors and keeping as many original éléments as possible…) And the same for the color of the shutters, the shape of the roof tiles, etc…. The office of « monuments de France » imposes things so difficult and strict to do that many new Own est give up…..😢😔 (😡) Me, I prefer to travel in the past with this video and to imagine many things than to inherit this poisoned gift !
That was an astonishing mansion. So many Bedrooms. Must have been a huge family. That one immaculate Master Bedroom took my breath away. Can’t wait now to see the spooky version now. Quite the oddest feeling from the whole place! Much love guys 🤗💜🥰😁👍🏻👏🏻
Leslie, PLEASE do NOT ever touch taxidermized animals or birds that are from the 19th or early 20th century with your bare hands. Those animals were usually taxidermized with arsenic. The arsenic will transfer to your hands and can be absorbed through your skin or as you touch your face can be ingested. Beautiful video and I'd love to see that chateau someday. Thanks for sharing! R
This is wonderful to see and extremely sad and thought provoking at the same moment. It leads the mind on so many paths, analyzing todays society and people's behavior compared with those times. Then I start thinking about how this should be a museum and the fact that we just let this rot is depressing. Then the collector in me is like wow there are some amazing pieces in there and I can only imagine the valuables left behind and ancient antiques. Then you start thinking about the architecture of the building itself, and the time and effort going into it. And then there's the hunting room, which leads so many thoughts in its own. =) Great video. Leaves you with a rare emotion afterwards of happy sadness.
I love historical castle and this castle is so beautiful, all the furniture in this place must be top quality because its still standing after all this year of abandoned , the place is very big I would get lost if I live in this place lol , got so many room, everything in this place are historical and very interesting, thank you for sharing
Would rather looters go in and salvage the artifacts and arcitecticual features rather than just losing them to time and the elements ideally yes I agree that the castle be left intact and restored one day and it could possibly happen in the future the owners of this property either need to sell it off or get their asses and get in gear
if only some 1 would go there clean if fix a few thing and just left it alone its a fun moment in time but 30 is enough time for some places to totaly rot away
It's magnificent, and your respect for the items, and the location is truly heart-warming, and it's so kind of you to share with all of us these amazing locations you find! 💃 I am obsessed with history, in particular, French history and the Monarchy of France, including their chalet and castles. 🏰 Thank you, So much. This is AMAZING
How could you not show all the hidden library compartments?! I LOVED the exposed rock walls!!! Too bad you told us to look at the family crest...and then blurred it out?! The hunting room is truly distasteful. But the woodwork....the furniture....the chandeliers...FABULOUS!!! 20:51 is a field chair....you fold it and carry by the handle and when you get to the place you are going, you jam it in the ground and sit on it. 25:32 is an ink blotter to make sure page was dry before folding and putting in envelope. That purple bedroom is just beautiful!!! The chandelier above the bed looked like it could have been beautiful? 33:03 Those are garment protectors or storage, not dry cleaning. Those photo albums are a treasure!!! OMG that pink "other master bedroom" was STUNNING!!! Perfect music choice!!!
What a Beautiful place! I love the lavender bedroom! Such a shame to see it decay! It's like a fairytale castle, I would have loved to live there! So many valuable antiques! It deserves to be saved! Maybe as a Hotel or Museum- the family could make money. Thank you Brothers of Decay so much for letting us see this beautiful piece of history! I adore your videos💜
I am so sad at the loss of all those beautiful historical pieces furniture artwork etc... can't someone contact the owners and ask them to donate them to museums or people who would use them to restore places. Such a huge waste and loss
Cari ragazzi ho provato a cercare un aggettivo che rendesse idea ma mi viene in mente solo PAZZESCO. Degno di un film dove la fantasia ha veramente tante tante stanze . Ed emozioni ed altro ancora. Grazie fratelli x questo nuovo viaggio. Siete sempre super.
The reason there were more than one master bedroom was because, back in the day you would have lived in the house with your parents.Sometimes even your grandparents.So you needed lots of bedrooms, especially if you had lots of children as well.That was probably my favorite place you have brought us so far.I just wish someone would fix it up but,it would definitely cost millions of dollars to do so.Can't wait to see what you bring us next and,as always we love you too guys.Be safe.
I'm glad I read you're comment as I was about to mention historical sleeping and household arrangements myself.
It's such a waste these days how one family one house is the norm.
Great comment
Yep,families lived together and helped out!!!
THE WEALTHY HAD SEPARATE BEDROOMS FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES , USUALLY SIDE by side , close proximity for sensible reasons.
They also had many bedrooms because they often entertained guests, often for weeks.
Back in the day the wealthy had their own bedroom, even married couples. Sharing a bed was for poor people who couldn't afford more space. Also, if it was used as a country retreat, for hunting parties for example, there would have been lots of guests.
This gem of a home needs to be protected at all costs. Absolutely stunning.
where is the home???
The costs are the main reason it hasn't been done, surely?

It’s amazing that people spend lifetimes building up such wonderful houses, filling them with objects, memories, and love, only to have it all forgotten and abandoned. It’s beautiful and sad. What a fantastic video ♥️
What good are all the riches in the world...if one loses their soul.
I love seeing these videos. It is AWESOME and sad the families lose the interest of the family legacy. It is so sad.
Brenda Orr
Imagine the original owners still inhabit the place as ghosts, if so they're probably happy the house is still full of their favorite possessions & memories rather than being empty :)
A house or castle, each can be a prison if people cannot grow emotionally in them and lead fulfilled lives. You don't want to be a slave to the restoration of a place like this, if it means sacrificing your life. There's no movement there, everything is in a state of stasis. I grew up in the country and I can tell you nobody with youth and vitality wants to be isolated and waiting for something to happen.
There is no point restoring without purpose, and what would be an economic basis for restoring this place? A hotel? Why would anyone stay there? Is it close to attractions? How much would restoration cost?
So many unanswered questions. The reality is the world is constantly. moving towards greater urbanisation, and places like this would cost a fortune to restore let alone maintain and heat. Brrr!
While it's charming to look at the craft skills of the builders and makers and the quaint things inside, living there would give me the absolute creeps, especially the ghostly entrance with those dead animals spookily staring into the air with those glass eyes.
There is probably some kind of protection order on the place as well. Complicated to modernise and find a purpose for it.
That is one of the most amazing abandoned buildings I’ve ever seen. It’s sad to think it’s all just sitting there rotting, falling apart but also something beautiful and more fascinating because of its state of decay. Nothing lasts forever.
So lovely to see a respectful tour of this place. Usually people are distracted by the monetary value of these things, rather than historical values.
My grandmother always said greed would be our undoing
I see what you’re saying but if no one or to take a monetary interest in these historical items then these historical items would eventually be lost forever
And the care he takes on placing the items where he got them. Super respectful and humble.
In the children's bedroom with the pink beds, on the desk, it's not "some sort of a stamp", it is a blotter. So, after you signed your name or whatever on something, you would blot up the excess ink by rolling that across it. Just thought you might be interested.
Stamp
thank you ...so much to be learned!!
Lesley- I just love your documentaries. I have degrees in Anthropology, the study of humans, and it’s exactly what you do. On archaeological digs you dig and find artifacts and have to use imagination to see the families and people there and how they would have lived and used everything in their daily lives. You do this as well, I love when you say things like “I can see them here playing games by the fire” or “they would gather here for Christmas dinner then relax together as a family”. That’s what we do, use artifacts to tell their story. Tell the human experience through even mundane objects. And you truly respect the people who lived their and their possessions. I truly love your channel. You tell the human experience through these wonderful forgotten places. You’re an anthropologist at heart! ❤️
Gorgeous castled, fabulously presented. Lesley, it is kewl that you want to change the name of your channel. But - do you want to make your programs less/shorter? Please don't. We love the attention you give to detail. We do not want to lose it.
The curved device you called a “stamp” (25:40 mark), next to the ink well, is actually an ink blotter. When you get finished writing with the quill & ink, you’d roll the ink blotter over the writing to “blot” up any excessive wet ink that may still be on the paper to make it less messy/to avoid any ink blotches.
Ну вот, мы уже о,, промокашках,, забыли. А раньше, когда писали перьевой ручкой, данные приспособления были в каждом почтовом отделении и учреждении.
And dead bird is a bat.
How to make video's like this:
-Find abandoned place
-Contact owner, get permission to enter (Of course don't mention it in the video)
-Find some area with lots of trees, so that it seems that you really had a hard time to find/ enter it.
-Before you film any room, rearrange furniture and stuff to make it look even cooler.
-Act like you got discovered, run away and shake the camera a lot to enhance the panic feel.
There you go, now you can make Urban exploration videos too!
Lovely castle though! :)
Not to mention I’m sure there is a fortune of things that could be stolen & sold 😵💫
Yeah cause I was thinking if it is abandoned why not take some cool things back home with you
Thought exactly the same.....someone owns or inherited the property and probably felt overwhelmed about the renovation involved and the cost associated.
Also that rifle looked a little too clean to have been sitting there for that many years. I call BS on the video.
you forgot one :get a soothing voice
and be amaze to hide the lack of..
well to hide the lack
The ancient device by the coat rack that you didn't know what it was, is a field chair. You go out to observe the hunt, poke it in the ground and sit on it. I do enjoy your videos.
They are also called a shooting stick, or shooting chair.
Awesome
, marvelous really enjoyed the she blog
I knew I had seen those before but just couldn’t remember what it’s called. Thank you!
Είστε απίστευτοι πραγματικα!!!!🌹💝
I think it`s horrible that such beautiful things are decaying and nobody is there to restore them.
Yeah
I feel like crying seeing such a place left to decay. I wish I could do something about this and other similar places!
What appear to be "abandoned properties" are frequently long & drawn out inheritance disputes, with a court order to prevent all parties from disturbing the property. They can drag on for years on end, allowing "photo journalists" to trespass &/or loot
Wow. When i was little, i used to daydream about inheriting a castle from an unknown, mystery aunt or uncle. And here one was, without an owner. Fascinating
Me too
There aren't enough words to describe the beauty of this magnificent castle! You're lucky to observe and touch precious artifacts you'd normally find in a museum! The purple and lavender bedroom is my favourite !😍
Thank you for this stunning exploration !
I guess nobody claimed the castle because of the back taxes.that you would have to pay. It would be too much the clean up and the taxes in retro
Monika
@@monikaa653 yeah well they shouldn't let this go to waste either cuz there's some values in there museum government got money I just being f****** greedy turn that into a museum history people
Needs rescue OK 👍 even recycling the stuff rebuilding with it if not salvageable. It's criminal to just leave it. Too much money obviously 🙄
Nothing last forever. The furniture and all those decorative accessories are priceless!
Tbh, most of it is junk.
@@williamwilliam5066 I disagree. That master bedrooms furniture is worth some $$$$ and the lighting fixtures, the antiques. Such a shame for the castle to crumble around things that should be salvaged.
@@InAHandBasket I agree with you, so many beautiful antiques just sitting there as the home crumbled around it all. Beautiful furniture, glassware, portraits, historical paperwork and the books.
@@teresasallam9526 Well it depends on what you mean as "something" I suppose.
Cf. The Egyptian text known as " The Immortality of Writers "
Wow, nice place. I can't believe the country doesn't put them up for auction and give the new owner a restoration loan with low interest, the country can also sell off any of the antiques to pay off some of the back taxes or something. It's just a shame they let these beautiful places decay. Thanks, Lesley for another great video.
@Joni Marchese
My heart is bleeding when I see all these beautiful historical things slowly decaying and fading away.
As you said, the country should do something to help people with the restoration.
@@lechat8533 Exactly, as the explorers have said in the past, this happens sometimes due to the fact that family members can't afford the upkeep, the taxes or something so the homes are left to decay.
Someone probably owns it, and it's not abandoned. The fact it's just sitting there means nothing. If this was the US there's a good chance they would leak before leaving the home they broke into. Trespassers get shot.
the truth is, in europe there are so many buildings like this that they have to choose their battles, and normally only restore buildings thay have significant historical value. a building that was just owned by rich people is probably not high on the list. as americans, our country is so new that we look at something like this with awe, but the truth is there’s a assload of old houses dotting the european countrysides
@@dunderheadgood
Yes, that`s true. But nevertheless, it`s all a question of preference. The governments could help if they wanted to. If they are able to dump billions into Ukraine then such projects could be easily managed. But they are all too busy stuffing their own pockets. I believe, that`s the main problem.
Amazing find! Looks completely untouched. Thats insane! Makes me wonder how many hidden compartments or secret pathways you didn't find. That place truly deserves to be a museum.
Another lovely historical place. Such a shame this couldn't become a museum. The furniture alone is magnificent. Thanks again for amazing exploration!
Yes I agree a shame in the least. Where's the rich guy who wants to buy it and preserve it outright? This place is a mind boggling time capsule and there's so much to learn from it.
I can't believe those female French Country style bedrooms- never saw anything so beautiful! I remember there was one (or 2 in the bathroom you were unable to go into) claw foot bathtubs I want to back and re watch for- my favorite are the ancient bathrooms! I can't believe someone just leaves these places to be ruined!
Absolutely loved this vastly brilliant vloging
I absolutely love your videos! As a lady who does not get to travel much(to old and to poor), let alone be able to explore the kind of places that you do. As a history buff, it is thrilling to see these historic locations.
I think that not all the bedrooms that had two singles beds next to each other are not all children's rooms. Back then Husband's and wife's slept in separate beds that would be in the same room. Also where the dried-up ink well was.....what you called a "stamp" of some type is actually called a "blotter". It was to bot(or soak up) the extra ink on the paper.
It was very beautiful to see your sincere reverence as you walked through this abandoned masterpiece.
Oh Leslie, this castle is amazing. You went to the top floor, before you entered the red room with the beautifully carved bed you took a deep breath, my heart jumped out of my chest I was scared and didn't know what to expect. I was so into this video and then you open the window to peer out at the towers and the beautiful scenery there was a little fear there for me I'm afraid of heights. You did a splendid job showing this beautiful home. Thank You!
I like that particular bedroom too.
Dude, I would pay an unbelievable amount of money for some of those taxidermy pieces from that castle. An extinct species of European wolf, shot in the mid 1800’s, and came from a French castle, are you kidding me? That would be the absolute crown jewel of any hunter/naturalist/biologist/historian collection. Unbeatable.
Also, I believe that ivory piece from the table with the pictures of women and the music notes is actually a walrus tusk. Awesome.
Whoever lived there sure was an avid hunter.From what I seen so far it's going to be another amazing place.Can't wait to see it.Thanks for finding it and bring it to us to see.
Despite all the decaying areas, it still looked in pretty good shape. Alot of the items you talked about were gorgeous. I couldn't go there, because I'd want to clean the place up. Thanks for showing the castle.
Most abandoned places have graffiti and everything is smashed.
I'm kinda confused at how "abandoned" this really is.
There's things that are worth more than the structure and that makes no sense.
How come I can’t see the outside of the house?
@@juniorsir9521 because then people would find it and destroy it. Its not abandoned, nothing in that condition is abandonded this is private property and SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE owns the rights to this house and land. This man is technically trespassing
@@andrewkaminskas7721 I’m guessing they got permission and possibly even payed the owners a fee to enter. You could see on the way onto the property all the fields were mowed and the driveway was in use.
There’d be full time grounds keepers and 24-7 security, there’s no way all that stuff including a rifle is just “abandoned” as you said.
What a fine castle. Just when I thought the lavender room was the loveliest and it was oh definitely, that bed, the vanity, the chaise lounge and matching chair:) then we were treated to the pink room in its matching accents. The last large bedroom, ivory colored I believe had a beautiful bed and vanity. The stained glass chandelier would look beautiful wherever it was placed. The tiny bathroom? Very mysterious:) so much to look at in wonderment, thank you so much for this elegant glimpse into your historic find.
Loved this one too. It’s so odd how some rooms are so untouched and looks so pristine and others are under decay. I pray they at least restore these beautiful furnishings and artifacts. It’s a-shame someone doesn’t purchase it and restore the entire castle. Thank you Leslie for another awesome tour. ❤️ Blessings
I could watch your videos all night! I’m an old lady (well not that old lol)who loves to see a handsome young man that takes his time through these videos and describes things so perfectly! The cameraman is also very good thank you for going slowly so we can enjoy and take in all the lovely sights!!❤ you guys should be making this into a television series!
Ben
It’s already a series… you don’t need to put it on cable tv and have the corporation dictate how Leslie does it, and where he goes. I like it better on UA-cam, where we can help him financially privately.
Hey Bros! Despite the bizarre taxidermy, from the trailer, you can see that this documentary has very amazing details, wonderful furniture with intense colors.
Even tho taxidermy and killing animals for it is gross to me, it is extremely valuable to someone with the money to purchase these ancient heads and backboards. Big money here.

Когда поднялись по ступенькам и вышли через окно на балкон- этот вид снаружи и сам замок просто великолепен.И мебель можно ещё спасти.Я раньше покупала антикварную мебель для себя,когда средства позволяли,- и хочу сказать,что все это ещё можно реставрировать и создать шикарный музей прошлого.Очень жаль,что никому нет дела.Благодарю за видео.
When we climbed the stairs and went out through the window to the balcony, this view from the outside and the castle itself is simply magnificent. And the furniture can still be saved. I used to buy antique furniture for myself when funds allowed - and I want to say that all this can still be restored and create a chic museum of the past. It's a pity that no one cares. Thanks for the video.

Hi Leslie and crew, very much loved the personal BBQ you added at the end, really gave us a glimpse of the world of you and your colleagues. So so love these videos. You guys rock. Until next time. Luv from Moncton NB, Canada 🇨🇦 💖
I'm surprised that so many documents have been left there unattended. I bet there are a lot of stories that can be surmised by the documents alone. Pretty fascinating that you were able to film inside such an elaborate castle without much interference. I wish more old buildings and castles were as easily documented as this one. (P.S. Subscribing.)
So glad you guys tour these abandoned castles/châteaux. These videos preserve some of the history before it’s completely lost. I have such respect for what you do! Another wonderful tour.
Hello Lesley! Nice exploration the Castle keeps many of original furniture and many architecture details 👌. Very easy to be lost inside of the Castle. Thank you always is nice listening your narration with your lovely voice! 😊😉😍👍😊
Quite amazing. Even if no one could afford to restore this castle, it would be good if someone would salvage some of the exquisite furniture. Thanks for sharing this awesome explore.
Yes, and the books.
There's plenty of rich people that could afford to restore it.
@@nuttybar9 just because someone has money doesn’t mean they have to restore a random old building that has a history of an aristocratic family.
If no remaining family, the contents could be auctioned off with all proceeds going to a worthy cause, no billionaire foundation though..small local charities that would be really thankful for funds or to fund something well needed by the local communities
@@Leon-sk6dk Who said they had too,I said they could afford too.
The hidden compartment book shelves are quite possibly the coolest things I've seen you find, aside from the spinning wheels.
Love the lilac bedroom 🥰💖
Of course, libraries are my favourite room...🤷🏼♀️
You promised to show us the family crest, yet it's blurred off ... 😣
In the white & red bedroom desk, is not a roller stamp, but an ink blotter, to dry out the writing before smudging it. I am old enough to have been taught to write 'longhand' in ink 🤦🏼♀️
I think the lady was a medical doctor, those instruments in the bedroom with single 2 beds, in the box on the desk there were an ampoule where an injectable solution were stored, and the huge cylinder was an ancient syringe....used huge needles too
Got to say I'm not far into this video and I already have respect for how you protect history by not giving up locations and such
yes it will be very hard for anyone to find out the location of this place especially hard since it used to be inhabited by the royal family of France before the revolution.... Sike
I'm only 18 minutes in to this video, HOLY MOLY SMOKES COW!! It seems criminal to me that this giant property full of priceless furniture and oddities is being lost to decay and time! I really hope that atleast a few handfuls of those things will be salvaged by someone? Those antique animal mounts are worth a small fortune. Not to mention what's hiding behind the walls in the many hidden places I'm sure one could find.... Thanks for taking us with you!!
WOW! This might be my favorite of your videos. You guys make a top notch video! I've seen several others but none as good as yours. Thank you for an amazing tour!
Indeed..
Such a gorgeous place! The furniture was stunning!! Thank you for sharing this with us! I wish we could have seen the outside but I understand why you can't reveal it.
Leslie, You have a voice that is easy to listen to. You show so much respect for the families and the buildings. The vandalism is awful. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future with your talent of narration.
Also,the joy with which this creator explores and his respect for the structures and their contents is wonderful. French men are very different from our American boys.
I think he's Belgian
You haven't met a real man in America then .. we are not disrespectful men .just some boys never grew up correctly
@@charlespace4578 whatever his country of origin,he's got a very different attitude than the typical male from my country. They are agressive here,hyper agressive and think that is the way to display their manhood. The average one would have destroyed this beautiful place just to do it. I'm sorry but it is the truth. The whole 🌎 knows it too. It is no longer a big secret,not that it ever really was.
@@donna4047 I love our American men.
Leslie… Brilliant absolutely brilliant! I can’t believe this beautiful castle is just going to fall to pieces with all of its history in it. Breaks my heart. I wasn’t too keen on all the taxidermy, but I know they used to do that also as a show of wealth. They had a bunch of fawns though. That made me rather sick. And all the books such a waste. Beautiful architecture and all the moldings around the ceilings were just to die for. Thank you so much hope you enjoyed your barbecue😉 Love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸🇺🇦🕊🌻
How utterly tragic that the beautiful pieces are being lost to the ravages of weather and time. Thank you for your video and respect to the home
A place like this needs a full restoration and open to the public to keep places like this alive! It’s just so sad no one can afford to live in places like this anymore!
Servants generally slept in attic not basement. Basements were generally for all the services. They would have food storages, cold rooms, etc in the basements.
This is just amazing! Even if the place can't be saved, the furniture and fittings must be worth saving I would hope. I can't believe the place hasn't been looted by now. Thanks so much.
Everything done with such workmanship, beautiful colors, love for the results of their work. So sad to see it slowly go to ruin. Thank you for the history of such beautiful places
Right? That plaster work… there aren’t craftsman that even do stuff like that anymore. If you see this in new places it’s all prefabricated. What a shame it’s crumbling from neglect!
woow, this one gave me goosebumps! thanks for sharing this with us
You never disappoint and your my favorite explorer. You do such a lovely show for everyone to watch and follow but more important we learn some history.
I like how much you care, respect these places and describe them. Even if you didn't mention how much you loved things, it's obvious. You show such awesome places. It's a shame to see them waist away. Take care.
I love these places. Thank you for sharing. I love that you also show the servant's quarters. It is nice to see how they lived too!
Hey Lesley, wow, I love this castle, it is so beautiful. I loved those photo albums! There is so much history there, and I can see that it is not going to last much longer. I have never seen a hunting room like that, it was truly amazing, thank you for explaining the different animals! I hope people can go in and save all the antiques and history. I have never seen such beautiful bedrooms, and I love that you went down to where the servants were, it was like Downton Abbey. You're my friend, but you truly are the best explorer out there, keep on exploring, stay safe. xxoo Looking forward to your next video!
I'd like to know what that property is worth, given that, whomever is holding it, would be willing to sell it. I think that if a several people (if necessary) got together to purchase it, it could be restored and made into an incredible tourist attraction.
This can't be left to it's own devices any longer... Seriously. I'd happily spend the rest of my life working to restore it.
I dont live in europe but in america something like this will be owned by a holding company or the like sitting on the property has value. This house with multiple acreage could still be worth a million or more dollars
The problem is, this is France, there are hundreds of places like this all over the country, all competing for tourists. I doubt it would actually bring in enough money to pay for maintenance costs. I remember just recently hearing about another mansion like this is France, if anything more beautiful than this one, that was demolished for lack of a buyer.
@@Aethgeir prob cuz there are a ton of these estates located in the middle of nowhere since the nobility wanted to isolate themselves from dirty peasants. If people wanted to see something from the period like this, they'd prefer a proper palace in a clustered historical site, than a castle in the middle of nowhere.
I'm in!
I can think of several uses for this when restored.
Beautiful purple bedroom! It definitely was for someone very important.
There was an alarm panel keypad next to the door so I'd assume this was the bedroom for the last occupant of the house.
One of the things I really love is the wallpaper in some of these places you go to. Amazing.
The condition of much of this castle is astonishing! I don't think I've ever seen one so beautiful. Thank you for hanging out in the lavender bedroom. I'm in love! I abhor the taxidermy critters though. xoxo
Amazing…. Truly a beautiful place. It’s unfortunate it may never be restored. Enjoy watching these videos. Your awesome!!☺️
The lilac color bedroom was color of my bedroom when I was a teen back in the early 70's Love the color and that ceiling light. If this castle was restored, it would make a fabulous bed and breakfast.
This castle is amazing, loved the bedroom furnishings and decor.. that first staircase was beautiful. Loved every minute of your tour Lesley.
Thank you. 🏰💕
I like how you put everything you look at back the way you found them🥂✨✨✨
Thanks for sharing, honestly love that you are so cautious about putting stuff back and leaving it how you found it. Such an amazing find. Thank you for exploring with us!
Also I will gladly take over this castle for them.. Just send the paperwork my way.
So much left unseen! There were doors to the towers in that 2nd master bedroom. Please open more doors and explore more! I bet there were secret rooms. I would have liked to see behind the fake books.
This guy frustrates me to no end, he walks right by doors, cabinets, those big metal cases, only opens one of the bookcase secret compartments, didn't notice a nice sized buddah I'm assuming was real jade... Lol. These vids are cool though but I would dig a lot deeper.
@@paulg3012 I know!! I’d love to see more!! I know he is trying to be respectful but dang he is in the house already! My faves are the kitchen and basements. So many expensive items left! I noticed that jade also!! He seems to be a sweetheart but he leaves so much unexplored.
@@brendabinau1187 I love the turned table legs and the massive beds and sideboards they must weigh a ton and the detail is insane, I wonder if they have termites there, if not they should be saved.
Dude you called it. A lot was missed. Interesting but bad episode.
I also was hoping much more in-depth checking of compartments and doors,but I guess he probably had a deal if he filmed inside this place , though I like to of seen more in detail.
Gday mate. I just stumbled across your channel and I’m glad I did. What an amazing place enriched in history. I really hope the family salvages what is left. Great commentary also, really well spoken and things explained in great detail and excitement! Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up from Australia.
I really love this castle, glad you were able to filmed everything, those two bedroom were wow but sadly it look like it will never restored it’s beauty.
One of my favorites so far!! What fun adventures you have it’s so amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
how could any museum not step up and try to save that house, or at least the fantastic collections and furniture in that house?! That is class from a bygone era!
Depends who owns it there are parts of history they won't talk about because of rebellion.
Hi Bros ! Thank you for this incredible video. I thoroughly enjoyed that, I felt captivated ! Absolutely remarkable, intriguing and beautiful to see that. It's better than a museum and like stepping back in time.
Kaç yıldır sizleri ilgi ile izliyoruz. o eski yapıları eski eşyaları, eski evleri izleyince çok garip bir duygulara kapılıyor insan. Zaman tünelinde dolaşır gibi garip duygular..

I have watched a few of these videos now and I have to say, this is totally outstanding. All of their belongings left behind. How very very sad that it couldn’t be maybe a museum..I don’t want to accept that someone out there can’t to something to save this stunning moment in time..Thank you for the great respect that you have shown 👍
If it was truly abandoned, why are all the surrounding grounds well kept (mowed/cut down, not overgrowing)?
How bout the white steel garage doors at both ends of the trophy room?
@@mattlanza8420 good eye. Guessing he got permission to come into this one
Clearly the property is owned by someone or an estate/trust whatever. But also obviously the mansion is in limbo-no one with the money or inclination to undertake the repair required to return it to its glory. Entirely possible too that the estate of the last owner still isn’t settled-with a large and complex estate without a proper or uncontested will (if that might be the case) then it could conceivably take decades to sort out. All the time this historical property and all the treasures within fall ever more into ruin-very sad.
Because they're trespassing
@@jjeshop groundskeepers are trespassing to keep up the place?
I must say even though you are not my favorite explorer to watch, you do find and explore some of the most spectacular places with the most beautiful, amazing and interesting items that should be in museums. With that being said I still enjoy watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Who are your favorite explorers to watch?
Do tell.
Beautiful lavender suite! I think the 2 people depicted on the wooden foot board, in pinkish room. Is supposed to represent the husband and wife. Similar to other royalty furniture. Thank you for providing such great videos and for protecting the location and identities.
Lesley looks amazing,beautiful furniture lv Ann ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
This was a magnificent place and all the furniture. Wish someone would save this place. The purple flower room was great loved it. You find the best places. Would love to have seen it in person. Thank you Leslie love ya
The Iris wallpaper was just beautiful!
No it's haunted
That's OK if it is haunted, I wouldn't be afraid.
Really beautiful window treatments with gorgeous fabrics that still look new. Wonderful tour. Thank you.
Someone has saved this place and they intentionally made it this way so people can pay a fee then come and take tours threw the castle or mansion it is a very good money maker . Trust me this isn't abandoned.
The bedrooms are amazing, such beautiful antique furniture. Another lovely video. Thanks for the tour.
Absolutely fascinating to see such intact history. Reminds me somewhat of the game Amnesia: The dark descent...
It's very nice to see your gentleness towards the artefacts end interiors of the castle, as well as hiding its location and family name. That way it may still stand some years into the future, at least we can hope.
Thanks to Bros of Decay for this vidéo. 👍
I read all comments and I would like to answer some questions.
I am French…. 🤩🤗
There are more than 40000 castles listes in France ( for 36000 towns/villages/hamlets….). 70 are really considered abandoned.
What to do with all these fantastic mansions/castles ?
It’s very easy to watch the video and ask to ourselves the question: why leave it abandoned ? : it’s not so simple here in France…..
First: these castles Belong to someone and after a death, the opening of will can be a difficult thing for a big family. ( ex: if one of the heirs décides not to sell his shares, the others can do nothing…. and this can last for years ). The French government can’t do anything else because this castle is private ).
Second: you inherit the castle ! Great !…….🤔…….NO !
Can you imagine How much the restoration would cost ( after the 30% tax on the value )?
Moreover, you will not be able to do What you want for the restoration.
Turn it into a hotel ? 🤪 why not ! ( but you will have to comply with safety standards of today…)
To build a swimming pool outside ? 🤪 why not ! ( but you will have to keep the spirit of the castle visually… )
To build an elevator ? 🤪 ok ! ( but without breaking floors and keeping as many original éléments as possible…)
And the same for the color of the shutters, the shape of the roof tiles, etc….
The office of « monuments de France » imposes things so difficult and strict to do that many new Own est give up…..😢😔 (😡)
Me, I prefer to travel in the past with this video and to imagine many things than to inherit this poisoned gift !
Very sad. Thank you for the incite.
Great, helpful comment! Merci! :)
That was an astonishing mansion. So many Bedrooms. Must have been a huge family. That one immaculate Master Bedroom took my breath away. Can’t wait now to see the spooky version now. Quite the oddest feeling from the whole place! Much love guys 🤗💜🥰😁👍🏻👏🏻
Leslie, PLEASE do NOT ever touch taxidermized animals or birds that are from the 19th or early 20th century with your bare hands. Those animals were usually taxidermized with arsenic. The arsenic will transfer to your hands and can be absorbed through your skin or as you touch your face can be ingested. Beautiful video and I'd love to see that chateau someday. Thanks for sharing! R
Dont touch the green paint or wallpaper too..same thing.
This is wonderful to see and extremely sad and thought provoking at the same moment. It leads the mind on so many paths, analyzing todays society and people's behavior compared with those times. Then I start thinking about how this should be a museum and the fact that we just let this rot is depressing. Then the collector in me is like wow there are some amazing pieces in there and I can only imagine the valuables left behind and ancient antiques. Then you start thinking about the architecture of the building itself, and the time and effort going into it. And then there's the hunting room, which leads so many thoughts in its own. =) Great video. Leaves you with a rare emotion afterwards of happy sadness.
Nice , Lesley, thanks, love your video,s❤🫶🤝🤙👈💋💋💋
I love historical castle and this castle is so beautiful, all the furniture in this place must be top quality because its still standing after all this year of abandoned , the place is very big I would get lost if I live in this place lol , got so many room, everything in this place are historical and very interesting, thank you for sharing
Absolument Magnifique.
Merci Lesley pour ce Trésor 🤗
I hope this place doesn’t fall to looters or graffiti. Incredible video, so much history it’s great to see
Would rather looters go in and salvage the artifacts and arcitecticual features rather than just losing them to time and the elements ideally yes I agree that the castle be left intact and restored one day and it could possibly happen in the future the owners of this property either need to sell it off or get their asses and get in gear
there's a roller door in the "hunting room".
quite obvious that the place is looked after.
if only some 1 would go there clean if fix a few thing and just left it alone its a fun moment in time but 30 is enough time for some places to totaly rot away
At the same time look at all the beautiful furniture and wood work that could be taken out and preserved
Why?
Him: "Such a beautiful castle on the outside"
The camera: "I don't see anything"
It's magnificent, and your respect for the items, and the location is truly heart-warming, and it's so kind of you to share with all of us these amazing locations you find! 💃
I am obsessed with history, in particular, French history and the Monarchy of France, including their chalet and castles. 🏰
Thank you, So much. This is AMAZING
the castle is wonderful but the hunting room is a nightmare! I find very strange all the service rooms on the top, usually they are down
whats wrong with the hunting room?
@@brianbailey462 can I don't like it? all that deads?
@@monteschiavo haha I like it
@@brianbailey462 you are free, me too😁
How could you not show all the hidden library compartments?! I LOVED the exposed rock walls!!! Too bad you told us to look at the family crest...and then blurred it out?! The hunting room is truly distasteful. But the woodwork....the furniture....the chandeliers...FABULOUS!!! 20:51 is a field chair....you fold it and carry by the handle and when you get to the place you are going, you jam it in the ground and sit on it. 25:32 is an ink blotter to make sure page was dry before folding and putting in envelope. That purple bedroom is just beautiful!!! The chandelier above the bed looked like it could have been beautiful? 33:03 Those are garment protectors or storage, not dry cleaning. Those photo albums are a treasure!!! OMG that pink "other master bedroom" was STUNNING!!! Perfect music choice!!!
What a Beautiful place!
I love the lavender bedroom!
Such a shame to see it decay!
It's like a fairytale castle, I would have loved to live there!
So many valuable antiques!
It deserves to be saved!
Maybe as a Hotel or Museum- the family could make money.
Thank you Brothers of Decay so much for letting us see this beautiful piece of history!
I adore your videos💜
Thank you for showing the servants quarters! Those spaces are often my favorite.❤️
Love you find places totally off the beaten path. Really could be forgotten and lost in time.
I am so sad at the loss of all those beautiful historical pieces furniture artwork etc... can't someone contact the owners and ask them to donate them to museums or people who would use them to restore places. Such a huge waste and loss
The animals were always more important than the furniture. FFS
Me too cause it's europe and now the zoinist are flooding europe with people who cares not for our culture so things like this will rot away
Cultural disaster
@@ccrider3435 yeah their meat kept them alive, so I would say they were very important for them as well.
Your men are amazing I just love your show don't stop wish this place could breathe a new begining
Cari ragazzi ho provato a cercare un aggettivo che rendesse idea ma mi viene in mente solo PAZZESCO. Degno di un film dove la fantasia ha veramente tante tante stanze . Ed emozioni ed altro ancora. Grazie fratelli x questo nuovo viaggio. Siete sempre super.
Mi sono remaste proprio sciocatto. Ciao da Florida. 👋
Great video! It’s shocking how many abandoned mansions there are in France.
There's a lot huh?
Who has the best speaking voice on UA-cam?
Lesley of Bros of Decay. Definitely. Nobody does live or studio narration better than Lesley. He's so good.
And Maureno from Explomo
How is it possible that this place hasn't been looted and stripped dry by unscrupulous thieves? :-o
White countries :D
@@UA-camGlobalAdminstrator It would have explained it. But white countries aren't that white anymore.
@Wally#01 Right! Makes sense for sure!
