    STORY
    Over the rolling hills of the French countryside, we discovered a masterpiece that has been forgotten in plain sight: a castle founded in the 13th century on the foundations of a derelict Romanesque church.
    Throughout its turbulent history, the building served many purposes, from being the residence of high-ranking officials to being the headquarters of the Catholic Military Order.
    Due to its design, it acted as the perfect defense against outside attackers, but unfortunately, this proved not to be enough and the castle was conquered and destroyed in the 16th century and stayed as a ruin until the 18th, this was when the Sarraile family took over the place.
    The Sarriale family was no ordinary family. They were immensely wealthy and influential, controlling vast tracts of land and wielding significant power in regional politics. This was their family's home for almost 300 years!
    In 2005, Jean Louise, the last descendant of the Sarriale family, sadly passed away and left the castle to his wife. She found the place rather large for her to live in alone, so she sold it and moved into a smaller dwelling.
    After her departure, the castle remained frozen in time, giving us a rare glimpse into the lives of a historic family and the opportunity to document their forgotten history.

      This may very well be true, except from what they watch on UA-cam. One thing I have observed with these upcoming generations. Very few have any appreciation for the past. Such as family photos, family heirlooms and antiques, etc. They are not interested, as the now much older generations were at their age. Reason being why explorers find so many abandoned places full of priceless, irreplaceable photos, family antiques, heirlooms. It isn't because they died and had noone to leave their priceless and irreplaceable family memories, and belongings with. In reality these upcoming generations have no appreciation for family history, the memories (such as photos) and some have little care for their own families themselves. Therefore, these irreplaceable and at one time valued belongings are left to be stolen, decay, rot, and even be vandalized. Or all of the above. It is a sign of the times!! Just as many have little appreciation for even life itself. It is sad and unfortunat, but it is also a sign of the times. The end times!😢😢😢😢😢😢

      I cannot fathom leaving such history, the castle and contents, to decay. I can only assume the family is blessed with such abundance, this means nothing? But I always think, too, are there not cousins, etc. who might treasure some things. An auction to help finances or something? I am really gobsmacked. How lovely it is. It would break my heart to leave such a wonderland.

    Having even a board with a hole in it for an indoor bathroom was a real luxury!! Many castles were high on a hill with the bathroom area hanging over the side of the cliff which often was above the water way down below. I'm sure having that convenience was very much appreciated during those extremely cold winter months!!!

      Have you lived in France or visited it? I know the cost of living in France is higher than in many European countries, including mine, but their salaries are 2 or 3 time higher than in my country. We still don't have a homeless problem, but our salaries are among the lowest in the EU, and the cost of living is rising every day. Looking from this perspective, France is still a rich country. :)

      France has thousands of castles. Many are protected as cultural heritages and can be visited. However, some are also privately owned. Others are abandoned due to owners going in nursing homes, or unable to financially maintain them. Some are summer homes no longer used and abandoned due to costs. But you're correct, there are way too many for the government to get involved, especially when these homes are privately owned and of no historical value to the country.

      Yes, if only this we had had the capabilities to become wealthy by doing something we really enjoyed, involving traveling exploring, etc., back in the day. UA-cam is a very profitable and successful way to make a very comfortable living. Some UA-camrs have become very wealthy in their 20's . Of course, back in the day we had no computers, no internet, the video cameras were expensive, large, awkward and little battery capability. But, exploring abandoned places and filming them would have been my passion. And I'd be living comfort ably right now.

      Before my wife died, I would have struggled to understand as well. I sold our 16th century French farmhouse and never looked back. It became a pointless shell of happy memories that could now only hurt me.

I did not make such money in a year as was required for one month's ownership....so...i had to let them stay with the people who were in them at the time.

    Such a very unique castle. Just loved it. Loved how you made every single room, sound like we were ready to walk into a 'secret in time' ( and it was!) It is a ''time capsule,'' and so many unusual items left behind. So many creative framed displays, and such nice family portraits. If only the 'rooms could talk' they would have so much to share with us! We will never know the people who lived there or who visited at least. They may have had cousins, parents, aunt or uncles come to visit at times, not sure it was always just the children and parents? They sure had room to have people come to visit. So many bedrooms I lost track after a while.
    I do think it had to be chilly in the winter though the further you climbed especially Even the fireplaces may have helped but er dangerous and as soon as you walked into the halls in the morning it had to be freezing again. Can you imagine the rooms off he enclosed porch and in summer it was lovely and very easy to sleep as it would be quiet, everyone in their bedroom and reading or sleeping. maybe visiting softly in their little nooks?
    The items that go on the' fingers ' most in porcelain ' used while sewing (to protect fingers from needle) in Englin, are called "Thimbles."
    Thanks, Lesley, for taking so many risks to show he rooms as you do and I know it Is fun for you but do protect yourself in everyway with mold and mildew, and other things around the decaying castles. We do love them everywhere, (Not always castles. but lovely large mansion etc) and it is very sad indeed because it will be lost to those who will grow up after us.
    I know to speak for myself, I appreciate all you do and the traveling to being the best. This one was so special as have never seen so many bedrooms and even he main rooms wer actually made cozy in some way and you could not think you wer in a castle when wrapped into one of them. Just think wandering the 'halls and stairways' in winter, must have been cold? But the Summers were quieter and very beautiful at night with candles and soft lights around you. Busy during the day am sure. So many jobs to be done,
    They must have had help, that did the cooking and cleaning, and they would live there too, of course, Am sure it must have been active during the day, but when it became darker at night, they would settle in their smaller rooms (to keep warm too) and light candles and anything they had if maybe lanterns and read evidently, before sleeping. This is how it seemed.🤩❤

      There are not many towns in France that do not have shops that sell such things. Look for 'Brocante' shops. In cases where ownership is established and property sold, there are small companies that clear the houses and sell the contents.
      Our local Brocanteur has a substantial warehouse with items from boxes of photos to a complete church pulpit. I understand that every transaction is recorded from acquisition to its sale to you. They often demand payment in cash, can't imagine why.

    I would love stepping out my rm to a stone spiral staircase .. how cool & interesting that must have been. .. All those frames, the paintings may have had sentimental or monetary value & been taken, but the frames left bc of traveling space. Just a thought.

    Often, these old estates are consumed not only by time and weather but also by the cost of upkeep and taxes. If not running a successful business from such a large structure, the heating costs alone would bankrupt most people. I worked for a fellow who owned a 1800's-era mansion in New England. They would close off most of the house in the winter, only heating the common areas and a few bedrooms, and the heating bill was still so high it literally took all summer and fall to pay it off; then the cold would come again!

    Lovely exploration. Thank you for sharing Lesley. That was a splendid collection of thimbles. The ones used to sew protected the person sewing from their fingertips from getting hurt as they felt the needle as ir came through the material to make the stitch.

  • @tigercatartist
    @tigercatartist 7 місяців тому +1

    Thanks for taking me on your adventure. When you were looking at the toys in what appears to be a boys room the thing you picked up that you remember seeing as a child is called a "top" . It had a rod in the middle that you pushed up and down to wind it up then turned it lose and it would spin all over the room. I also saw a "jack in the box" which you cranked the handle until suddenly a clown popped out. At the 59 minute mark the lace thing on the wall is a collar. (judge Judy on American TV wears them),😄 The ceramic things for finger tips are called "thimbles". When you are hand sewing they guard your finger tips from being poked by the needle. One last thing. I seen a few of your videos where you had Pfaff sewing machines. When you pronounce it the "P" is silent. It sounds like faf-fuh. Just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing this. Had a fun evening with you.

    Amazing place, so many beautiful items that should be saved, especially the children's drawings, there is something so pure seeing them framed up on the walls. You can really sense the life this castle once had within its rooms, and although it is sad to see its decaying state, I like that we can still see it just as it once was, carrying the finger prints of the former owners everywhere.
    Thank you, Leslie, for this amazing find and for taking all these risks while exploring. I like how you always know when to be careful and not do anything totally reckless just to get a shot. You show us more than enough and we appreciate every minute of it. Please, always stay safe 🫶

There has been a llot of decay in the house. The top floor of the caste is more beautiful than other rooms. I got scared to see the statue in the middle. Thanks a lot. Do Take care of yourself.😊

That was really once more an exceptional and unique explore. - Some of the rooms stiil were in a good state of preservation and held a legit time capsule vibe with the beautifully carved furniture and many interesting smaller antique items. I enjoyed watching and following you in mind through these rooms. Amazing, bro! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from sunny Switzerland.
