I agree with you. This castle should be under protection. It's over a thousand years old. It's just mind boggling to even think they could build this beautiful beautiful castle. That dinning room ceiling is absolutely gorgeous. So many beautiful rooms. Thank you for sharing this castle with us
It would be much more rewarding. If the person that conducts these tours had a real knowledge of the era and the history they are discussing. It would add so much depth and at the same time avoiding giving off too many clues as to the location.
It is protected under historical building preservation act if someone tries to tear it down, but the guy just said he doesn't think it has that protection, but someone has to apply for it's safety ; but to restore it, you must prove you have funds to keep it up to standard. It's like the elephant in the city, everyone sees it, but no one talks about it. In USA you can get historical preservation grant money.
Is this one of the homes you can buy for $1, but you must show you have funds to fix it up; but sometimes the government would give you some money to start the process!
It is 3:22am and it is all ur fault that i am awake and totally mesmerized, entertained and delighted. Hope u are happy that u are the delight of insomniacs!(like me).Lol
The balls at the legs of an upholstered chair is part of what design commonly used in the Chippendale style from 1700s to 1800s with its ball bottomed tipped legs. That type of furniture belongs in a museum. So beautiful!
Not sure, but I think the random cords you find in this castle may have been to pull and ring a bell to summon a servant. Thank you so much for making these videos they are so amazing to watch and a dream come true for someone who has always wanted to explore in this way!
Honestly one of the most amazing castle exploration vidoes on youtube. Tha fact that you took as long as you needed to go into the most minor details is what makes your channel such a delight to watch. Thank you for being respectful towards the castle, its history and its owners.
I would absolutely love to go along with you guys to do what you do. I am a doctor but it wasn’t until after my education that I realized how much I love history. I am so envious that you get to spend your days exploring. Thank you for showing us these amazing relics of history
You are such a gentleman Lesley and 18th century attire suits you . Just loved this magnificent old home. It breaks my heart that its not being protected . So much history lost forever .
Why did they leave such beautiful furniture behind? Also family photos? Such a treasure of a place. To have that in my family history would be amazing. Thank you for going to this castle. So beautiful .
The absolute beauty of this Castle takes one’s breath away! Such a shame the family has left it to ruin. The incredible antiques left behind is unimaginable. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you.
It feels like such an honor to be able to observe this fabulous castle. I appreciate how delicate and kind you are to everything that you see. Blessings
Seeing this a second time from when it first aired …. Never gets old! There is always something new to spot and admire. I wish you would have looked through the small glass window on that green door at the end of the last basement you adventured to see especially with that grate you pulled up!! Take care Lesly and see you on more of your wonderful adventures!
Lesley, this is by far my favorite video. It’s sad that such a beautiful castle has been abandoned. Make a second video and show more of this castle. I enjoy all of your videos. I’m American and I enjoyed the videos from my country but was also saddened. 1:07:46
In our country.. 🇺🇸 We really don't have so much history as Italy does. This video is endlessly beautiful especially with its furniture, art in carving etc.
I am binge watching your European castle tours. I love old places and stepping back in time imagining how the residents lived, worked and played. Thank you for doing these wonderfully done guided video tours of these lovely old places and for taking me back in time.
Thank you for this trip in history castle. Armchairs and sofas are upholstered in a wonderful silk jacquard from a factory in San Leuco, Campania. This silk was bought by all the kings of Europe.
That would have to be the most amazing finds yet. This one is right up there. Loved the the wall art. Amazing stuff left behind. I felt that those bedrooms and the adjoining dining rooms were dedicated to certain family members over the years. As there seemed to be certain previous pictures of family who may have had those rooms in their lifetimes. And those TUNNELS! oh my gosh it's another world down there, and rather creepy too. Fabulous video. This one won my heart
Dear smart and extraordinary guys! You make unique films, and everyone who loves history can touch the mysterious, almost secret houses and castles - where the history of people over many centuries is stored! Seeing this is important! Thank you! Thanks to your channel sponsors! I get a lot of positive emotions and incredible impressions and sensations! I adore you! I wish you prosperity and many achievements and pleasures in life!!!!! Greetings from a Ukrainian woman, I am now in Ireland, I am fleeing the war with the Russians. 2023 And I wish everyone Peace!!!!!!
Hello, I'm completely swept away by your channel. I love going on these adventures with you guys, as you explore the many homes and castles all over the world. I can't tell you how much it means to me, knowing that you are so interested in preserving the past. Thank you! This one is especially fascinating. How can people just leave such beauty behind? Do you have any information about the owners? Where have they gone?
This castle MUST BE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED. What can we do to make that happen? It’s So Sooo beautiful. Thank you for keeping its whereabouts private 🙏 ♥️🌹♥️🇦🇺
Wow this was amazing. I could hear the exhaustion in your voice and sometimes the very understandable fear. You are amazing. Irrationally I was scared you would be lost in those narrow never ending tunnels... I don't think I could do what you do so thankyou for showing us these magnificent homes and castles. Also interesting.
Wooow! Although it is a century old abandoned castle, I can say that it is Very prestine, the ceilings are very nice, so facinating, the furnitures are great and the walls have a beautiful designs and colors, nice paintings too, so amazing castle with everything inside besides that the other valuables were stolen. Thanks for sharing this video, good luck to your next venture, God bless you always, 🙏👏😺😇🎉🎉🎉🇵🇭
Our past history is not what we’ve been taught, Leslie has shown so many videos of Castles and old Mansions that came from an ancient civilization that was called Tartaria, these people built their structures using sacred geometry that could be felt with love and good health vibrations. They were larger than us which is why the ceilings and door ways and arches are so high. They lived through a Golden Age followed by a cataclysmic event that shows damage all around the word that was left. We inherited them all and was told that we built them. If you enjoy history you will love finding our true one.
Lesley and Maureno together again!! Love your faces!! What a great castle and explore not to mention a sweet presentation! Thank you for taking us to places most of us will never go! You're the best.. so good to see you again too, Maureno!💜merry Christmas from Texas!🎅🎄☃️🤶🐾🐾🤠love you guys!
Lesley, I love to see you walking around inside this abandoned Italian Castle in this type of outfit. That kind of help dreaming about the life of these people. Thanks for this nice video!
This was the most beautiful castle I have seen yet. The ceilings and architectural design is timeless. I really pray someone very rich would restore this one. Thank you Leslie for another amazing adventure!!
The last part of the video, was the original parts of the castle. I also noticed a lot of Art Nouveau details in the first dining room ( It was probably a breakfast room), and in a few of the bedrooms. Also Art Deco. The long cord hanging in the last bedroom you checked out, would be connected to a bell system, it was designed to call on the servants when they needed their service. The dayroom with what you thought was the four seasons in the ceiling showed not just the 4 seasons but also images from other countries. (Pyramids are usually connected to Egypt and South- Amerika, and more of them are being discovered all over the world.) Astonishing work of art!!
Leslie, this was amazing. My grandparents migrated to Canada in the early 20th century. I'm amazed that they left everything behind. Is there a way to contact the current owners & see if they would give away or auction off the beautiful furniture. The dishes are beautiful, the lamps & the shades are intact. There were serving bowls that were painted, like only in Italy. Then, the rugs! They are beautiful. Please find the owners. The beds, chests, dressers, all the vanities! I want to save the pictures & especially the painting of family members. Let's get an action going, I'll make a trip to Italy for that. I love my homeland. Come on, let's get the action going. In the beginning, there was a vase with painted flowers. They are wonderful. My mother bought. It only had 2 flowers & it was very expensive. Also, the glass bowls with the basket weave of the glass! So beautiful. Please get it going. I don't want these treasures rotting, it's bad enough the beautiful woodwork & painted ceilings are going to rot. Oh yes, the beautiful lights in each room. I love your work, I just am memorized with your work. Keep it up, I'll donate to you. Merry Christmas. May you ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord & Savior. God bless you.
I believe you are officially my new favourite UA-cam channel x I love old buildings and old things, my parents always said I was born in the wrong era, I love how you are like me, appreciate it and leave it as it is, this place is absolutely beautiful x what a masterpiece x thank you 🙏 for sharing it x ❤
Absolutely the most beautiful place you have shown. I am.from a very large family. I could imagine us all living there filling the rooms with life and laughter. Thank you from my heart for bringing me along on this journey
@@glenirwin4718 Or the box from the flat screen TV. Lol The place is definitely being worked on. If it was my family's place, and he was sorting through my history, I would be pretty mad for sure.
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.
This was an absolutely amazing tour, and the most enormous castle I have ever viewed thus far. You did an amazing job taking us on this journey. Oh, how wonderful it would be to see this historical place restored. Still, it is marvelous in its own right! Thank you so very much!❤
THAT was an amazing exploration! Such a historic and beautiful place. I think we all gasped with you when your light fell and it went dark! I'm glad you were able to put it back together and continue down into the dark, dusty hallway! Thank you, and I like your new outfit. Sincerely, Mari Kay Whitney.
So happy to see a new video from you from Europe!! Nothing compares!! This video is jaw dropping!! I'm from America in NJ and to see these castles made before my Country was established is mind-blowing!! Thank you so much for sharing!! It's great seeing Marino from Explomo. I'm glad he's doing well ❤️🩹
You’re such a thoughtful man. A respected gentleman. A man of the world and a historian. Your narration skills are superb and your depth of empathy and compassion are a reaffirmation of humbleness and grace. Thank you so much for all your amazing work.
What a wonderful find. Well done. Its a real ancient gem. Ninety mins just flew so fast. I was mesmerized all the way through. The beautiful ceiling remined me of the home I lived in in the 1980's seven floor derelict building above a shop in West Flanders Belgium that I had whole access to and I tried exploring the above floors a few times. Maybe you can do a part two for all the rest of the vast amount of details. I particularly loved the mesmerizing hypnotic painting of a manor on the fireplace. The dusky bronze looking atmosphere in the painting is very beautiful. I would love to have that on my wall for the sunlight to reflect upon it. The tunnels were very cosy but scary. Thank you for your bravery.
I’m astounded by the beauty of this castle! I can’t understand people to abandon such a structure. Why haven’t they donated the castle to the State to be used as a public art museum and lecture/ music hall?
governments are working on razor thin budgets, they don't have the money to maintain them, there are hundreds of castles around Europe, privately owned; some investors acquired them restored them and transformed them into hotels, the return on investment is not good, very little profit they are expensive to restore, many were restored and put on the market, they are hard to sell and whoever buys them make them a target for kidnapping and all sorts of crime; there's an oversupply of luxury real state and not enough buyers
There has to be a way to solve this. It is a matter of priorities. Are we to be rushing towards the future or will we choose to honour and understand our history. These abandoned buildings are screaming for our attention. They are saying very clearly, this is what comes of unhinged wealth. Not a gradual succession of inheritance and improvements in the standards of living for everyone, over the generations. Instead we see evidence of abrupt devastation left to Nature's untiring hand. Any answers we have as to why, can only be sketchy at best, but if we don't try to understand and resolve this now, for future generations, then I can only imagine our great great grandchildren starring awestruck at the glass/steel/marble/ temples of today, wasted away in front of them. The public and private sectors, who together hold unimaginable wealth by any standard, must choose to do the right thing: come together for the common good. I don't see any other way.
Just as i thinking why not tourist setup,cleanup, so money can come donations help preserve this place for times ahead for ppl appreciate of times past. Its weird one why did thet do such ornate ceiling theres be lots sore stiff necks looking up admiring, dont get it,is it bc churchs but tne cost of ceilings which really what thinking relevance,of day go day now is there. They are great incredible floor tilings done too some places seen,while travelling, how modern world isnt it seems as creative as times past. This is such a beautiful incredible neglected place sad side. By family disputing.Trouble is Italy has so so many wonderful old places close to this age needing help but the funds the skilled to whos really travelling keeping records sadly sure some places i visited,its fundings many just needing &tempature control machines,to steadying tempature&venting right now cant think called, types of humidifiers&finding volunteers harder. What has the recent floods2023 what damage doneNthItaly recent i wonder. There are many antiquities hidden gems as this its heartbreaking just seeing this place shame on govts.not stepping up. I was lucky to see many bc had right guide,sadly fewer guides, as younger generation leave move off to big cities education,but not returning. Thanks for this,wonderful but sad seeing the neglect. Wheres the proof it goes back 1000yrs.is it a exaggera -tion sure can see few hundred.
@@LosDesafiosdeUruguay. Thanks yes just wrote similar,its a lot to do with so so many and the funds. But farout you say, to buy is endanger self because kidnapping &crime but then the mafia families,these ppl still does exist making ppl lives miserable.
My wife and i loved watching you explore the castle! It is my wifes dream to see a place like this. Thank you for showing us this beautiful place of history. Its nice to see someone appreciate it as much as we do. Keep up the amazing footage!
That was INCREDIBLE and amazing and sad. I didnt want it to end! I wanted to explore more with you. It is such a shame these places and the things left in them will just fall i to ruin. Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure it was truly wonderful!!!!
Just when I think you can't possibly outdo your previous explorations of the great Castles of Europe, you go and excel all others before it! This is the most incredibly beautiful and completely intact Castle you've ever explored! Fabulous, Leslie ❤️. I would watch a 4 hour video had you offered it..Absolutely amazing. I don't know who could just leave everything behind like that - even the photographs, their family's very memories. Tch Tch. The furnishings are at grave risk of losing them forever as the roof decays further and further - and that would be such a tragedy. But the slowe decay is partly what makes your explorations so precious and meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, Leslie.. I particularly like your new 18th Century apparel.. Looks great on you! ❤️ XX
Some were missing I obviously don't know if grandchildren took with them or those passing through after. I'm sure there were many more albums and I garantee there will be cases and cases of 16mm home movies and VHS tapes. Rich people used cameras but definitely movie cameras
This is definitely one of my favorite videos, this castle is magnificent and actually in very good condition considering the years of abandonment. Excellent job on editing of this documentary. ❤
Wow, I didn't want this video to end. This place was amazing, never seen another castle like this. My favorite room was the bedroom at the 1 hour mark, I loved the ceiling, and the wallpaper is my favorite. Plus, the music was perfect, made the video seem like a movie right out of Hollywood. Great job, thank u.
I love you. Show so much, you and your crew take us to places we can only dream of, and the way you narrate each episode is done in such style. I'd love to explore the past as you do, but I suffer from severe chronic pain, so thank you so so so much for bringing these beautiful homes to life xoxo
I have got to say you guys are the best. Trust me I have gone around and looked at several and what I truley love about you guys is your long videos and how you show us everything. Others are just biding time to get money by just hanging up on things and short videos. Keep doing what you are doing...love you guys.
He really does the most remarkable videos and with respect for the former owners and gives attention to the details of the home and its history.. he would be an amazing tour guide.. but with YT he can be a tour guide for so many historic homes and give tours to thousands of people from around the world!
What a masterpiece video! I pray this place doesn't go unnoticed to restoration, it would be a crime to lose such a valuable piece of history. This is my favorite of all the videos you've produced and you've produced many beautiful ones. Keep up the good work exposing these hidden gems. Thank you!
Thank you, another great exploration done in Lesley style. I enjoy your genuine appreciation of the fine pieces of furniture and works of art that you come across. Keep up your good work 👍
Lesley, you were born to explore! When you climbed down that basement shaft, your fate was sealed! This is your passion. Cant wait to see what you do into the future!
Just watched and enjoyed it so much.All the antiques were amazing the hand made furniture is the most amazing I’ve ever seen. I noticed lots of glassware that was probably worth lots of money it’s a shame it’s just sitting there to ruin , thank you so much for exploring this marvelous place and all the other places. ❤
Magnificent and amazing and wonderful experience Viewing this castle in your Eyes Lesley, It's breath taking it almost feel as if I'm there with you exploring the castle and When your finished I literally have to focus back into the reality that I'm In and it feels like like I just went on a real life traveled trip, This is how good you are when you host your show❤❤❤ luv you lesly💋.
Lesley must be taller than me, 5 ft. 1 inch. The camera seemed higher as he walked along and I got dizzy a few times. Always wondered what it was like to be taller. Haha!
So excited to watch each and every video you make. Through your discovery of each place you document, I get to travel the world and see things I can only dream of. You bring each place to life for all of us. Bless you.
Hey hey, dear Lesley, what a architectonically interesting castle! - I am already looking very much forward to your lifestream and already wondering about the background story of that unique location. - I am always speechless, my dear friend, what kind of unbelievably fascinating locations you are all the time able to explore. - Lesley, my bro, you are simply amazing! Wishing you all the best, a very blessed merry Christmas to you, your lovely brother Jordy and to your parents.
Hello Gentlemen, thank you so much for what you are doing. I am completely fascinated and in awe. I too love love LOVE architecture and this castle is nothing short of magnificent. I cried more than once during your documentary, at the sheer loss of such grandeur. Thank you for putting it on film to behold in the future, in the likely event that the castle is demolished. I am grateful to have found your work and appreciate you all very much.
I really enjoyed this castle. You walked miles. Its fascinates me that people just alk away from a business like this and just leave everything. Thanks for this interesting video.🌻
I love the way you guide us around these beautiful Palaces and Castles, you are always 100% respectful to the properties you visit. I think the fire was burnt on a later day, the picture of the two females listening to the violin and the fireplace blocks are clean and not burnt. Happy New Year !!!
Amazing how solid it remains for the age of this place. Enjoyed your exploring this wonderful place. Love the way you present the shows and add a personal touch to them . Appreciate what you do and that we can also explore these amazing places.
Sadness. How this treasure is left to decay through time is mind boggling. Thank you for this beautiful peek into history. Stunning castle. Beautiful taste. Lovely photos. Stillness...not understood. 😢🕯️🤍🙏🏻
What a fascinating place ! Italy is actually packed with castles, villas, cathedrals and monuments of astonishing architecture, artifacts and artwork in general! I love those gorgeous ceilings ,the beauty and intricate design of every single item inside this castle,so very Italian !!!😍 You look wonderful in your new attire! Thank you, Lesley, for this great exploration! I wish you a Merry Christmas !🌲❤️
I was thinking of his bravery as well. His passion for sharing history is felt in every video. I too feel it is a shame for these beautiful places crumbling into decay 🥹
This caught my breath immediately. I’m just up for the day and on my first pot of tea. I am spellbound from just the thumbnail, and then to the entrance. I can’t wait! Your new togs look very nice, Lesley, very nice indeed. You’ve got your perfect crew, and hello Maureno, how good to see you again. Hopefully your trials are behind you and will remain in a rapidly and now a most unexplored decaying past 😘 Ah, this place - Bellissimo, and the peacocks too are fantastic. I once knew a woman who kept different kinds, including white ones. They lived in her huge yard with lots of trees and many other animals she kept fed as they roamed freely on her grounds. Another thing that was Bellissimo ~~~~~ The tile floors, how I wish they had been highlighted. I do hope someone reclaimed the beautiful pieces of furniture and the flooring tiles, as well as historically documenting this beautiful place. Those ‘babies’ on the bedroom furniture are cherubs. *orchards and vineyards, not ‘wine fields.’ Billiards room, markers (score keeper) You skip over the gorgeous tile and terrazzo floors😢 Yes, owners keep up with every bottle of wine; what they purchase, how much of it and the cost. That’s scalloping in the carved pieces. That ‘exposed’ wood as you called it is burled wood, a particular cut of some woods. Very beautiful. Exquisite. Please: Grandfather clock. A wall clock is small and hangs on a wall. Rocks and seashells are pretty (I wouldn’t say expensive) but you pass right over the beautiful and expensive pieces of porcelain right by those ‘expensive’ (not) seashells and rocks. Those are picked up off the ground and in the sand or water by the seashores. Exquisite hand built and carved pieces of furnishings. The weight of them must be something. It would be nice if you focused on things like that. Get some books on antique furnishings and books with photos of places in the areas you visit. That would be great. You don’t have to purchase books but you can visit them in bookstores and make inquiries as to particular pieces and their functionality in the centuries they were used. That wallpaper at 54:00 seems out of step with the colors in the ceiling, but maybe the colors are not translating through the film to my screen. The pipe stand contains pipe cleaners in the drawer. That chaise longue in that same room is wonderful. I would repose and read, doze, dream, read. What a piece. @1:04:16 Excuse my familiarity and maybe a bit of crassness but with the cherubs as one is pointing: “Pull my finger” immediately came to mind, lol! That log was a nice piece of driftwood, common for use as decor. I get so tickled with your “wavers.” You’re so sweet! That place has seen many wartimes. The photo was during WWI not WWII, and the one officer had lost family because he wore a black armband to denote the personal loss. The term in the later era is ‘fascists’ and ‘fascism’ and Italy fought with the Germans in WWII until they were soundly beaten in the desert wars and on the Ostfront. They gave in and loved the Allied troops, especially after they assassinated Mussolini and his wife and then hung them upside down in the plaza. Many of the people, from peasants to aristocracy, gave aid to as many of the Jews as they could. They got a lot of them over the mountains and to the freedom of some lands as well as the sea and onto boats carrying them to freedom in their homeland of Israel (which the Romans gave the name of Palestine, which never has been a country with native people, a government or currency, to demean the Hebrews and the British tried to keep as Palestine for the Arabs that flooded into the country when they Jews were driven out. Coming full circle. God’s hand is on all things and Jerusalem is His timepiece). These rooms are so beautiful, master craftsmen in everything. The ceilings with their lights and shadows on the depictions, custom furnishings, wallpaper, terrazzo floors - wish they’d been highlighted! Can you revisit, or are renovations in full swing? What a place! 1:11:04 That’s a manger, and the pieces depicting Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, animals in the manger, and maybe the three wisemen as well. 1:14:00 Oh, that fountain! The clock would have been made for the house, not from a train company. Makes me think of and wonder how many sundials had been there over the centuries. The rain made this wonderfully nostalgic, especially from the turret. I thought you were going to need Ariadne’s thread to get back up from the bowels of the castle, lol! Thank you so, so much for this one. I’m surprised there weren’t shelves filled with books, but maybe that’s something the owners definitely moved out with - their friends. When I’ve moved the first thing I always packed and labeled were my books, my companions, my friends📚. Again, thank you so very much. This one was special! You and your crew are top drawer. Ciao, ti amo!
Feliz Navidad a todos los amigos del canal 🎄🎄🎄💖💖💖🙋♀️!!! Una exploración fenomenal 👍🌟 TE deseo una feliz Navidad y un nuevo año super exitooosoo!! MI querido amigo LESLEY!! 🌟❤️💖🎄🥰👋💋💋
Lesley... It's great to see you again. What a great castle. I loved those beautiful ceilings. A lot of work went into those ceilings. Lovely 🌹 I enjoyed your very long video. I think you could do a part II in this castle. Merry Christmas Lesley and friends. Great video!!! ❤️🙏❤️
Great tour of an abandoned treasure as usual, and I know it's part of your policy not to take what is not yours, i appreciate that, but couldn't you at least shut a window or two that you have found open to minimize damage? that would be great!
@@Lifeletnothingholdudown Yes, I realize that but in most cases, it's not good to have the windows fully open, and in lots of cases, vandals open them and don't shut them
It is so heart breaking💔 that all this history is left to rot, such beauty should be preserved, I appreciate that you show us all the wonderful places thank you 😊
I understood what the Castle is, in the meantime after the various videos they have stolen many objects. You didn't make the video recently because there's a guardian now. It is not abandoned there is a dispute over the inheritance it seems. Greetings from my country Italy 💙
Sempre abbandonato è..... Speriamo che verranno recuperati anche quei splendidi mobili ....e oggetti di vario genere..... Sarebbe un peccato se restassero in stato che si vedono in questo video . ....
@@carmencornelianastase1240 ti ripeto che nn è abbandonato e a causa di questi video tanti oggetti preziosi come Lance medievali, coltelli, lampade ect sono state rubate.
Infatti questi video dovrebbero essere fatti in modo tale da evitare il più possibile di far capire a chi guarda dove ci si trova, soprattutto se sono presenti molti oggetti, ovvio che se mostri foto degli esterni, documenti con chiari rimandi al posto, la gente furbetta ne approfitta.
I don't usually like things so ornate but you have to admire the beauty of it. I kept thinking what a lovely place that would be to hold weddings, can you imagine?
Magnificent!!! The ceilings were stunning! Question: do you ever get surprised by other humans or larger animals lurking in these spaces. I was holding my breath as you walked these tunnels 😂. We are living through your experiences, Lesley! Thank you, brave man.
Yes, that was creepy down in there especially when he lifted that drain and went down further. As an old lady, I wonder if a lot of those tunnels weren't built during the 2nd World War?
Ребята, какую необыкновенно красоту вы показали.! Аж дух захватывает. Смотрю видео про замки и ваши и не ваши, и вот одно не пойму :зачем строить в замках комнаты такой высоты, как для великанов!? Мебель в них кажется игрушечной. Да, от лишних денег люди сходят с ума. 😊НО, замок самый великолепный из всех. Я ещё не видела такой красоты. Хотелось бы посмотреть комнату для узников, которую вы не смогли открыть. Или бы посветили туда.
OK just to help you understand, because a room has a dining table doesn’t mean it was a dining room, most rooms of the period had tables for conversation, Day rooms, Card room, Reading room etc, love theses investigations you do great work
My heart was aching with every room you showed. Dreaming of staying insuch a place even only for a few days.. a Master piece. Enjoyed it and was sad to see the end. Greetings all the way from South-Africa
It's heartbreaking and blissfully enchanting. I can tell you are a true romantic. Thank you so much for taking us in there. It's just as if I were walking through a gorgeous museum. I am tremendously fascinated by abandoned places. It was well worth watching your video. I would have snatched a few mementos to take with me, however as you yourself said - never take anything with you!! I'm from Valletta, in Malta where all of our buildings are Baroque, from this same period and look exactly like this. There are quite a few palazzos that are livable thanks to people who restore them however it takes lots of maintenance. Most baroque palazzos were residences to noble families that had their own chapel. We lived in a Baroque building first and our building had a communal courtyard with a 16th century well and high walls, thick walls and the tiles are old. Then we lived in a Victorian apartment, and now a 1950s mid century apartment. Restoration is key when it comes to these buildings and quite honestly it does look like there has been an attempt at restoration so hopefully, it won't remain abandoned for too much longer before it finds its next owner. Who knows they might turn it into a boutique hotel. Incidentally, my grandmother had the same tapestry that was on that chocolate box on one of the walls of her Piano Sopra upstairs. I believe it was heavily reproduced at the turn of the century. My gran's family home is now a jewellery store selling Cartier and Rolex. Her marital home has been restored and is now a boutique hotel. These buildings have far-reaching potential, but the the only people that will afford to buy them and restore them are large businesses.
Hello 👋🏻 😊 from Kelowna , British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦. This is a bit of a novel… so you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to, but I hope you will… 😊 I fully loved your comment, I agree with everything thing you said. This castle is simply amazing, it is without question by far one of the most impressive buildings I’ve ever seen anywhere. The architecture, paintings, furniture and woodwork are unbelievable! 😮 so cool to see what amazing quality craftsman were capable of building … They just don’t make things like that now unfortunately… just cheap pressboard and crappy furniture that lasts about 5 years before it falls apart! In the future as a hobby when I get a bit older I would love to take extremely good pictures and recreate some of these incredible pieces of old furniture and cabinets from really high quality expensive real wood ! Possibly Mahogany, burl oak, black walnut etc. I’m not sure what they used back then or if you can even get it in modern times, so I will have to do some research 🧐! and then maybe even just make it out of a different type of wood but certainly Not cheap press / chipboard! I have all kinds of skills, tools and I am extremely patient and picky about my workmanship! But I’ve never seen that as a bad thing … in this day and age I might be one of the very few people left on the planet that could make similar things. 😄 The tour Leslie gave of this 1000 year old Italian castle was amazing and could have been many hours longer and I still would have watched every second of it ! 😊 it was absolutely fascinating in the best way possible! I love how he is so respectful and careful with the families belongings and even just with the items and building itself when he goes into these places. I would love to go with him ! 😊 In other videos I’ve seen that he has done in the past, He will even put things back on a table or fireplace mantle where it belongs if it’s on the floor where may get damaged etc. 😊 For the most part places like this do not exist where I live. ( the only one I can think of that’s even remotely close is in Victoria B.C., out on the pacific coast there is one called Craigdaroch Castle and it’s really cool to see as well ( built in 1908 if I can remember right, as it’s been almost 30 years since I was there. Owned by coal baron Robert Dunsmir the richest man in B.C. at that time ) it is not as large as this castle and nowhere near as old but it is also quite impressive in it’s own right. ( 25 rooms I think 🤔but I can’t be sure of that I was only about 22 years old when I saw it so it’s been a long time now but it certainly made a huge impression on me. In all these years I’ve never forgotten about it! It’s the most incredible building I’ve ever personally been inside. I should go out there on a little vacation just to see it again! 😊) Generally when someone here says “ that place is really old” they mean it was built in 1960. 😄Thank You for mentioning the places and buildings you, your family and your Grandmother 👵 have lived in the past, they sound awesome! She must have had ( is still having hopefully ?) an interesting and incredible life! 😊 Thanks for sharing that part of your life story. I hope you have a really great 🍾🥂 🎉 New Year’s 🥳 , Andy
Meu Deus que coisa mais linda 💗 e um espetáculo Bros você ficou muito lindo de príncipe parabéns pelo seu trabalho eu amei ❤️ que maravilha 💘 que linda a paisagem ❤️ que lindo o pavão
I agree with you. This castle should be under protection. It's over a thousand years old. It's just mind boggling to even think they could build this beautiful beautiful castle. That dinning room ceiling is absolutely gorgeous. So many beautiful rooms. Thank you for sharing this castle with us
It would be much more rewarding. If the person that conducts these tours had a real knowledge of the era and the history they are discussing. It would add so much depth and at the same time avoiding giving off too many clues as to the location.
Richtig bevor alles verloren geht wunderschöne malerei .allgemein wunderschön ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is protected under historical building preservation act if someone tries to tear it down, but the guy just said he doesn't think it has that protection, but someone has to apply for it's safety ; but to restore it, you must prove you have funds to keep it up to standard. It's like the elephant in the city, everyone sees it, but no one talks about it. In USA you can get historical preservation grant money.
Is this one of the homes you can buy for $1, but you must show you have funds to fix it up; but sometimes the government would give you some money to start the process!
Nice pool table...wow
It is 3:22am and it is all ur fault that i am awake and totally mesmerized, entertained and delighted. Hope u are happy that u are the delight of insomniacs!(like me).Lol

The balls at the legs of an upholstered chair is part of what design commonly used in the Chippendale style from 1700s to 1800s with its ball bottomed tipped legs. That type of furniture belongs in a museum. So beautiful!
Not sure, but I think the random cords you find in this castle may have been to pull and ring a bell to summon a servant.
Thank you so much for making these videos they are so amazing to watch and a dream come true for someone who has always wanted to explore in this way!
Italy listen up ! Take care of this BEAUTIFUL historic JEWEL ! FANTASTIC exploration Leslie !❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly one of the most amazing castle exploration vidoes on youtube. Tha fact that you took as long as you needed to go into the most minor details is what makes your channel such a delight to watch.
Thank you for being respectful towards the castle, its history and its owners.
Er ist ein gentelmann .tolle doku 😊😊😊😊😊
Oh this is my Dream Castle 🏰. I can't find a word to describe such Craftsmanship, fantastic, I love this 😍😍😍😊❤
I would absolutely love to go along with you guys to do what you do. I am a doctor but it wasn’t until after my education that I realized how much I love history. I am so envious that you get to spend your days exploring. Thank you for showing us these amazing relics of history
You can always travel. It's an amazing castle.
You are such a gentleman Lesley and 18th century attire suits you . Just loved this magnificent old home. It breaks my heart that its not being protected . So much history lost forever .
N Cm c
Why did they leave such beautiful furniture behind? Also family photos? Such a treasure of a place. To have that in my family history would be amazing. Thank you for going to this castle. So beautiful .
The absolute beauty of this Castle takes one’s breath away! Such a shame the family has left it to ruin. The incredible antiques left behind is unimaginable. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you.
It feels like such an honor to be able to observe this fabulous castle. I appreciate how delicate and kind you are to everything that you see. Blessings
Right? He's so lovely. A bit daft at times taking risks lol but lovely.
Was ist im Pizaoffen
@@susannura1It looked like a plastic container, my first thought was gasoline, but that’s very unlikely.
Seeing this a second time from when it first aired …. Never gets old! There is always something new to spot and admire. I wish you would have looked through the small glass window on that green door at the end of the last basement you adventured to see especially with that grate you pulled up!! Take care Lesly and see you on more of your wonderful adventures!
This video is the most important, stunning, filming of an abandoned castle ever done. Extraordinary.
Absolutely gorgeous, one of your most exciting...thank you sooo much😊
Lesley, this is by far my favorite video. It’s sad that such a beautiful castle has been abandoned. Make a second video and show more of this castle. I enjoy all of your videos. I’m American and I enjoyed the videos from my country but was also saddened. 1:07:46
Its cost million to fix so they left it
Me too. Greetings from San Francisco, Bay Area
In our country.. 🇺🇸 We really don't have so much history as Italy does. This video is endlessly beautiful especially with its furniture, art in carving etc.
All the families could all put there money together live there rent out rooms if there are trade people help out that way why leave it to waste away
I'm sure there are laws dictating how you can restore and modify it that makes it difficult and even more costly than just material and labor
Absolutely stunning. There’s not much I wouldn’t do to be able to visit this beauty!
I am binge watching your European castle tours. I love old places and stepping back in time imagining how the residents lived, worked and played. Thank you for doing these wonderfully done guided video tours of these lovely old places and for taking me back in time.
Thank you for this trip in history castle. Armchairs and sofas are upholstered in a wonderful silk jacquard from a factory in San Leuco, Campania. This silk was bought by all the kings of Europe.
This has to be one of my favorites! Absolutely beautiful!
That would have to be the most amazing finds yet. This one is right up there. Loved the the wall art. Amazing stuff left behind. I felt that those bedrooms and the adjoining dining rooms were dedicated to certain family members over the years. As there seemed to be certain previous pictures of family who may have had those rooms in their lifetimes. And those TUNNELS! oh my gosh it's another world down there, and rather creepy too. Fabulous video. This one won my heart
Dear smart and extraordinary guys! You make unique films, and everyone who loves history can touch the mysterious, almost secret houses and castles - where the history of people over many centuries is stored! Seeing this is important! Thank you! Thanks to your channel sponsors! I get a lot of positive emotions and incredible impressions and sensations! I adore you! I wish you prosperity and many achievements and pleasures in life!!!!! Greetings from a Ukrainian woman, I am now in Ireland, I am fleeing the war with the Russians. 2023 And I wish everyone Peace!!!!!!
God bless you, peace.
Hello, I'm completely swept away by your channel. I love going on these adventures with you guys, as you explore the many homes and castles all over the world. I can't tell you how much it means to me, knowing that you are so interested in preserving the past. Thank you! This one is especially fascinating. How can people just leave such beauty behind? Do you have any information about the owners? Where have they gone?
How can a place like this just get abandoned... What a magical place!
This castle MUST BE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED. What can we do to make that happen? It’s So Sooo beautiful. Thank you for keeping its whereabouts private 🙏 ♥️🌹♥️🇦🇺
Wow this was amazing. I could hear the exhaustion in your voice and sometimes the very understandable fear. You are amazing. Irrationally I was scared you would be lost in those narrow never ending tunnels... I don't think I could do what you do so thankyou for showing us these magnificent homes and castles. Also interesting.
Wooow! Although it is a century old abandoned castle, I can say that it is Very prestine, the ceilings are very nice, so facinating, the furnitures are great and the walls have a beautiful designs and colors, nice paintings too, so amazing castle with everything inside besides that the other valuables were stolen. Thanks for sharing this video, good luck to your next venture, God bless you always, 🙏👏😺😇🎉🎉🎉🇵🇭
Millennium. This one is a millennium old.
Our past history is not what we’ve been taught, Leslie has shown so many videos of Castles and old Mansions that came from an ancient civilization that was called Tartaria, these people built their structures using sacred geometry that could be felt with love and good health vibrations. They were larger than us which is why the ceilings and door ways and arches are so high. They lived through a Golden Age followed by a cataclysmic event that shows damage all around the word that was left. We inherited them all and was told that we built them. If you enjoy history you will love finding our true one.
Lesley and Maureno together again!! Love your faces!! What a great castle and explore not to mention a sweet presentation! Thank you for taking us to places most of us will never go! You're the best.. so good to see you again too, Maureno!💜merry Christmas from Texas!🎅🎄☃️🤶🐾🐾🤠love you guys!
Lesley, I love to see you walking around inside this abandoned Italian Castle in this type of outfit. That kind of help dreaming about the life of these people. Thanks for this nice video!
Wonderful video . I love old castles and this one is amazing . The ceilings were amazing and the tunnels were so scarey . You are very brave ❤
This was the most beautiful castle I have seen yet. The ceilings and architectural design is timeless. I really pray someone very rich would restore this one. Thank you Leslie for another amazing adventure!!
The last part of the video, was the original parts of the castle. I also noticed a lot of Art Nouveau details in the first dining room ( It was probably a breakfast room), and in a few of the bedrooms. Also Art Deco.
The long cord hanging in the last bedroom you checked out, would be connected to a bell system, it was designed to call on the servants when they needed their service.
The dayroom with what you thought was the four seasons in the ceiling showed not just the 4 seasons but also images from other countries. (Pyramids are usually connected to Egypt and South- Amerika, and more of them are being discovered all over the world.) Astonishing work of art!!
Leslie, this was amazing. My grandparents migrated to Canada in the early 20th century.
I'm amazed that they left everything behind. Is there a way to contact the current owners & see if they would give away or auction off the beautiful furniture. The dishes are beautiful, the lamps & the shades are intact. There were serving bowls that were painted, like only in Italy. Then, the rugs! They are beautiful. Please find the owners. The beds, chests, dressers, all the vanities!
I want to save the pictures & especially the painting of family members. Let's get an action going, I'll make a trip to Italy for that. I love my homeland. Come on, let's get the action going. In the beginning, there was a vase with painted flowers. They are wonderful. My mother bought. It only had 2 flowers & it was very expensive. Also, the glass bowls with the basket weave of the glass! So beautiful. Please get it going. I don't want these treasures rotting, it's bad enough the beautiful woodwork & painted ceilings are going to rot. Oh yes, the beautiful lights in each room.
I love your work, I just am memorized with your work. Keep it up, I'll donate to you. Merry Christmas. May you ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord & Savior. God bless you.
I'm not good at this , is there a way to forward my message to Leslie?
Another amazing documentary! Thank you Bros I just love these big old homes!
I believe you are officially my new favourite UA-cam channel x I love old buildings and old things, my parents always said I was born in the wrong era, I love how you are like me, appreciate it and leave it as it is, this place is absolutely beautiful x what a masterpiece x thank you 🙏 for sharing it x ❤
Absolutely the most beautiful place you have shown. I am.from a very large family. I could imagine us all living there filling the rooms with life and laughter. Thank you from my heart for bringing me along on this journey
All these years and a 1000 years, still good. It's amazing to have them survived...
It wont last long if someone dosent save it. Thats for sure
At 17:54 see the "remote control" on the table, lol !!!!
don't be so naive. This is abandoned. Yes. But there is still a caretaker. It is 1000 years old castle, not abandoned for 1000 years.
It doesn’t is from one thousand years ago! It is like from the 16 century at most!
@@glenirwin4718 Or the box from the flat screen TV. Lol
The place is definitely being worked on. If it was my family's place, and he was sorting through my history, I would be pretty mad for sure.
Thank you for sharing this magical journey into this marvelous castle.
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.
This was an absolutely amazing tour, and the most enormous castle I have ever viewed thus far. You did an amazing job taking us on this journey. Oh, how wonderful it would be to see this historical place restored. Still, it is marvelous in its own right!
Thank you so very much!❤
Wow! Great video! I’m amazed for the size of this castle how small the kitchen is. I love to see the kitchens in these very old castles! Thank you!❤
Absolutely stunning! Majestic in it's own right. The most breath taking explore of yours yet! Be safe.
THAT was an amazing exploration! Such a historic and beautiful place. I think we all gasped with you when your light fell and it went dark! I'm glad you were able to put it back together and continue down into the dark, dusty hallway! Thank you, and I like your new outfit. Sincerely, Mari Kay Whitney.
So happy to see a new video from you from Europe!! Nothing compares!! This video is jaw dropping!! I'm from America in NJ and to see these castles made before my Country was established is mind-blowing!! Thank you so much for sharing!! It's great seeing Marino from Explomo. I'm glad he's doing well ❤️🩹
You’re such a thoughtful man.
A respected gentleman. A man of the world and a historian. Your narration skills are superb and your depth of empathy and compassion are a reaffirmation of humbleness and grace. Thank you so much for all your amazing work.
What a wonderful find. Well done. Its a real ancient gem. Ninety mins just flew so fast. I was mesmerized all the way through. The beautiful ceiling remined me of the home I lived in in the 1980's seven floor derelict building above a shop in West Flanders Belgium that I had whole access to and I tried exploring the above floors a few times. Maybe you can do a part two for all the rest of the vast amount of details. I particularly loved the mesmerizing hypnotic painting of a manor on the fireplace. The dusky bronze looking atmosphere in the painting is very beautiful. I would love to have that on my wall for the sunlight to reflect upon it. The tunnels were very cosy but scary. Thank you for your bravery.
So Happy I came across your channel by chance! Because castles have always been a big interest for me....I love them with a passion! 🏰💙💜😊
I’m astounded by the beauty of this castle! I can’t understand people to abandon such a structure. Why haven’t they donated the castle to the State to be used as a public art museum and lecture/ music hall?
governments are working on razor thin budgets, they don't have the money to maintain them, there are hundreds of castles around Europe, privately owned; some investors acquired them restored them and transformed them into hotels, the return on investment is not good, very little profit they are expensive to restore, many were restored and put on the market, they are hard to sell and whoever buys them make them a target for kidnapping and all sorts of crime; there's an oversupply of luxury real state and not enough buyers
There has to be a way to solve this. It is a matter of priorities. Are we to be rushing towards the future or will we choose to honour and understand our history. These abandoned buildings are screaming for our attention. They are saying very clearly, this is what comes of unhinged wealth. Not a gradual succession of inheritance and improvements in the standards of living for everyone, over the generations. Instead we see evidence of abrupt devastation left to Nature's untiring hand. Any answers we have as to why, can only be sketchy at best, but if we don't try to understand and resolve this now, for future generations, then I can only imagine our great great grandchildren starring awestruck at the glass/steel/marble/
temples of today, wasted away in front of them.
The public and private sectors, who together hold unimaginable wealth by any standard, must choose to do the right thing: come together for the common good. I don't see any other way.
Los castillos son enteramente encantadores viendo tanta belleza
Just as i thinking why not tourist setup,cleanup, so money can come donations help preserve this place for times ahead for ppl appreciate of times past. Its weird one why did thet do such ornate ceiling theres be lots sore stiff necks looking up admiring, dont get it,is it bc churchs but tne cost of ceilings which really what thinking relevance,of day go day now is there. They are great incredible floor tilings done too some places seen,while travelling, how modern world isnt it seems as creative as times past. This is such a beautiful incredible neglected place sad side. By family disputing.Trouble is Italy has so so many wonderful old places close to this age needing help but the funds the skilled to whos really travelling keeping records sadly sure some places i visited,its fundings many just needing &tempature control machines,to steadying tempature&venting right now cant think called, types of humidifiers&finding volunteers harder. What has the recent floods2023 what damage doneNthItaly recent i wonder. There are many antiquities hidden gems as this its heartbreaking just seeing this place shame on govts.not stepping up. I was lucky to see many bc had right guide,sadly fewer guides, as younger generation leave move off to big cities education,but not returning. Thanks for this,wonderful but sad seeing the neglect. Wheres the proof it goes back 1000yrs.is it a exaggera -tion sure can see few hundred.
@@LosDesafiosdeUruguay. Thanks yes just wrote similar,its a lot to do with so so many and the funds. But farout you say, to buy is endanger self because kidnapping &crime but then the mafia families,these ppl still does exist making ppl lives miserable.
My wife and i loved watching you explore the castle! It is my wifes dream to see a place like this. Thank you for showing us this beautiful place of history. Its nice to see someone appreciate it as much as we do. Keep up the amazing footage!
That was INCREDIBLE and amazing and sad. I didnt want it to end! I wanted to explore more with you. It is such a shame these places and the things left in them will just fall i to ruin. Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure it was truly wonderful!!!!
You’re a brave young man. What a beautiful place , well done again.
Just when I think you can't possibly outdo your previous explorations of the great Castles of Europe, you go and excel all others before it! This is the most incredibly beautiful and completely intact Castle you've ever explored! Fabulous, Leslie ❤️. I would watch a 4 hour video had you offered it..Absolutely amazing. I don't know who could just leave everything behind like that - even the photographs, their family's very memories. Tch Tch. The furnishings are at grave risk of losing them forever as the roof decays further and further - and that would be such a tragedy. But the slowe decay is partly what makes your explorations so precious and meaningful.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos, Leslie.. I particularly like your new 18th Century apparel.. Looks great on you! ❤️ XX
It's so beautiful and so sad, left to decay. It's too bad the children didn't take the photographs
Yes I watch vids like these and just want to cry at the waste we leave of precious resources..
I wonder the same thing, so sad how children don't have sentimental values anymore
Some were missing I obviously don't know if grandchildren took with them or those passing through after.
I'm sure there were many more albums and I garantee there will be cases and cases of 16mm home movies and VHS tapes.
Rich people used cameras but definitely movie cameras
Obviously some kind of family tragedy happened that truly crippled them.
I'm from New Zealand, we don't have anything like this . Maori landed here in 1300, white man late 1700 early 1800.
This is definitely one of my favorite videos, this castle is magnificent and actually in very good condition considering the years of abandonment. Excellent job on editing of this documentary. ❤
This is one of the best castle video I have ever seen
Thank you for this video its was amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
This castle is beautiful. And i love the way you respect the abandoned places that you explore.
Wow, I didn't want this video to end. This place was amazing, never seen another castle like this. My favorite room was the bedroom at the 1 hour mark, I loved the ceiling, and the wallpaper is my favorite. Plus, the music was perfect, made the video seem like a movie right out of Hollywood. Great job, thank u.
Leslie, this was an awesome find. Thank you for this beautiful exploration and that you wore gloves. I enjoy watching your adventures.
So so so beautiful and stunning. I can’t understand how people could just leave
I love you. Show so much, you and your crew take us to places we can only dream of, and the way you narrate each episode is done in such style. I'd love to explore the past as you do, but I suffer from severe chronic pain, so thank you so so so much for bringing these beautiful homes to life xoxo
I have got to say you guys are the best. Trust me I have gone around and looked at several and what I truley love about you guys is your long videos and how you show us everything. Others are just biding time to get money by just hanging up on things and short videos. Keep doing what you are doing...love you guys.
He really does the most remarkable videos and with respect for the former owners and gives attention to the details of the home and its history.. he would be an amazing tour guide.. but with YT he can be a tour guide for so many historic homes and give tours to thousands of people from around the world!
I love their videos too!! Such great videos!!
I'm so glad you're back in Europe. What an amazing castle.
What a masterpiece video! I pray this place doesn't go unnoticed to restoration, it would be a crime to lose such a valuable piece of history. This is my favorite of all the videos you've produced and you've produced many beautiful ones. Keep up the good work exposing these hidden gems. Thank you!
Thank you, another great exploration done in Lesley style. I enjoy your genuine appreciation of the fine pieces of furniture and works of art that you come across. Keep up your good work 👍
Lesley, you were born to explore!
When you climbed down that basement shaft, your fate was sealed! This is your passion.
Cant wait to see what you do into the future!
Just watched and enjoyed it so much.All the antiques were amazing the hand made furniture is the most amazing I’ve ever seen. I noticed lots of glassware that was probably worth lots of money it’s a shame it’s just sitting there to ruin , thank you so much for exploring this marvelous place and all the other places. ❤
Magnificent and amazing and wonderful experience Viewing this castle in your Eyes Lesley, It's breath taking it almost feel as if I'm there with you exploring the castle and When your finished I literally have to focus back into the reality that I'm In and it feels like like I just went on a real life traveled trip, This is how good you are when you host your show❤❤❤ luv you lesly💋.
Lesley must be taller than me, 5 ft. 1 inch. The camera seemed higher as he walked along and I got dizzy a few times. Always wondered what it was like to be taller. Haha!
So excited to watch each and every video you make. Through your discovery of each place you document, I get to travel the world and see things I can only dream of. You bring each place to life for all of us. Bless you.
Just finished this epic video , I thoroughly enjoyed it , very relaxing on this end ❤
Thank you for all your travelling Lesly. I always enjoy all of your adventures. Bless you.💋
A fantastic explore! Thank you Lesley! 😊
Oh my Gosh. How beautiful! Thank you for bringing this to us!
Hey hey, dear Lesley, what a architectonically interesting castle! - I am already looking very much forward to your lifestream
and already wondering about the background story of that unique location. - I am always speechless, my dear friend, what kind
of unbelievably fascinating locations you are all the time able to explore. - Lesley, my bro, you are simply amazing!
Wishing you all the best, a very blessed merry Christmas to you, your lovely brother Jordy and to your parents.
What an awesome comment, Sir! Everyone should read this. Happy New Year to you and your friends!
Hello Gentlemen, thank you so much for what you are doing. I am completely fascinated and in awe. I too love love LOVE architecture and this castle is nothing short of magnificent. I cried more than once during your documentary, at the sheer loss of such grandeur. Thank you for putting it on film to behold in the future, in the likely event that the castle is demolished. I am grateful to have found your work and appreciate you all very much.
I really enjoyed this castle. You walked miles. Its fascinates me that people just alk away from a business like this and just leave everything. Thanks for this interesting video.🌻
Wonderful to see 2 of my favorite guys together again!
I love the way you guide us around these beautiful Palaces and Castles, you are always 100% respectful to the properties you visit. I think the fire was burnt on a later day, the picture of the two females listening to the violin and the fireplace blocks are clean and not burnt. Happy New Year !!!
Richard Will
Amazing how solid it remains for the age of this place. Enjoyed your exploring this wonderful place. Love the way you present the shows and add a personal touch to them . Appreciate what you do and that we can also explore these amazing places.
Sadness. How this treasure is left to decay through time is mind boggling. Thank you for this beautiful peek into history. Stunning castle. Beautiful taste. Lovely photos. Stillness...not understood. 😢🕯️🤍🙏🏻
Very well done video. It speaks of honor and respect that rooms demand . What a pleasure to see. Thank you gentlemen.
What a fascinating place ! Italy is actually packed with castles, villas, cathedrals and monuments of astonishing architecture, artifacts and artwork in general! I love those gorgeous ceilings ,the beauty and intricate design of every single item inside this castle,so very Italian !!!😍 You look wonderful in your new attire!
Thank you, Lesley, for this great exploration! I wish you a Merry Christmas !🌲❤️
Fascinating castle exploration Lesley! It was rather frightening in the tunnel’s, scary when you dropped your camera and light😳 Thank you , be safe.
I was thinking of his bravery as well. His passion for sharing history is felt in every video. I too feel it is a shame for these beautiful places crumbling into decay 🥹
Thank you for your travels and documentation of these stunning locations. You are full of passion and wonder and I adore that.
Unbelievable!! You take me to places that I can only dream of in my mind. Thank you!
This caught my breath immediately. I’m just up for the day and on my first pot of tea. I am spellbound from just the thumbnail, and then to the entrance. I can’t wait!
Your new togs look very nice, Lesley, very nice indeed. You’ve got your perfect crew, and hello Maureno, how good to see you again. Hopefully your trials are behind you and will remain in a rapidly and now a most unexplored decaying past 😘 Ah, this place - Bellissimo, and the peacocks too are fantastic. I once knew a woman who kept different kinds, including white ones. They lived in her huge yard with lots of trees and many other animals she kept fed as they roamed freely on her grounds. Another thing that was Bellissimo ~~~~~
The tile floors, how I wish they had been highlighted. I do hope someone reclaimed the beautiful pieces of furniture and the flooring tiles, as well as historically documenting this beautiful place.
Those ‘babies’ on the bedroom furniture are cherubs.
*orchards and vineyards, not ‘wine fields.’
Billiards room, markers (score keeper)
You skip over the gorgeous tile and terrazzo floors😢
Yes, owners keep up with every bottle of wine; what they purchase, how much of it and the cost.
That’s scalloping in the carved pieces. That ‘exposed’ wood as you called it is burled wood, a particular cut of some woods. Very beautiful. Exquisite.
Please: Grandfather clock. A wall clock is small and hangs on a wall.
Rocks and seashells are pretty (I wouldn’t say expensive) but you pass right over the beautiful and expensive pieces of porcelain right by those ‘expensive’ (not) seashells and rocks. Those are picked up off the ground and in the sand or water by the seashores. Exquisite hand built and carved pieces of furnishings. The weight of them must be something. It would be nice if you focused on things like that. Get some books on antique furnishings and books with photos of places in the areas you visit. That would be great. You don’t have to purchase books but you can visit them in bookstores and make inquiries as to particular pieces and their functionality in the centuries they were used.
That wallpaper at 54:00 seems out of step with the colors in the ceiling, but maybe the colors are not translating through the film to my screen.
The pipe stand contains pipe cleaners in the drawer.
That chaise longue in that same room is wonderful. I would repose and read, doze, dream, read. What a piece.
@1:04:16 Excuse my familiarity and maybe a bit of crassness but with the cherubs as one is pointing: “Pull my finger” immediately came to mind, lol!
That log was a nice piece of driftwood, common for use as decor. I get so tickled with your “wavers.” You’re so sweet! That place has seen many wartimes. The photo was during WWI not WWII, and the one officer had lost family because he wore a black armband to denote the personal loss. The term in the later era is ‘fascists’ and ‘fascism’ and Italy fought with the Germans in WWII until they were soundly beaten in the desert wars and on the Ostfront. They gave in and loved the Allied troops, especially after they assassinated Mussolini and his wife and then hung them upside down in the plaza. Many of the people, from peasants to aristocracy, gave aid to as many of the Jews as they could. They got a lot of them over the mountains and to the freedom of some lands as well as the sea and onto boats carrying them to freedom in their homeland of Israel (which the Romans gave the name of Palestine, which never has been a country with native people, a government or currency, to demean the Hebrews and the British tried to keep as Palestine for the Arabs that flooded into the country when they Jews were driven out. Coming full circle. God’s hand is on all things and Jerusalem is His timepiece). These rooms are so beautiful, master craftsmen in everything. The ceilings with their lights and shadows on the depictions, custom furnishings, wallpaper, terrazzo floors - wish they’d been highlighted! Can you revisit, or are renovations in full swing? What a place!
1:11:04 That’s a manger, and the pieces depicting Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, animals in the manger, and maybe the three wisemen as well.
1:14:00 Oh, that fountain! The clock would have been made for the house, not from a train company. Makes me think of and wonder how many sundials had been there over the centuries.
The rain made this wonderfully nostalgic, especially from the turret. I thought you were going to need Ariadne’s thread to get back up from the bowels of the castle, lol!
Thank you so, so much for this one. I’m surprised there weren’t shelves filled with books, but maybe that’s something the owners definitely moved out with - their friends. When I’ve moved the first thing I always packed and labeled were my books, my companions, my friends📚. Again, thank you so very much. This one was special! You and your crew are top drawer. Ciao, ti amo!
Feliz Navidad a todos los amigos del canal 🎄🎄🎄💖💖💖🙋♀️!!!

LESLEY!!
🌟❤️💖🎄🥰👋💋💋
Gracias Petra, feliz navidad para ti.
Lesley... It's great to see you again.
What a great castle. I loved those beautiful ceilings. A lot of work went into those ceilings. Lovely 🌹
I enjoyed your very long video.
I think you could do a part II in this castle.
Merry Christmas Lesley and friends.
Great video!!!
❤️🙏❤️
Great tour of an abandoned treasure as usual, and I know it's part of your policy not to take what is not yours, i appreciate that, but couldn't you at least shut a window or two that you have found open to minimize damage? that would be great!
The air flow helps to keep the house from getting mold. A lot of these old places have the windows open for that reason, Especially in humid climates.
@@Lifeletnothingholdudown Yes, I realize that but in most cases, it's not good to have the windows fully open, and in lots of cases, vandals open them and don't shut them
Never saw the kitchen? Or I wouldn't know how I missed it! Lol
I think having open windows is also in the castle catches fire
@@baseballant22 He did show the kitchen,towards the end.
It is so heart breaking💔 that all this history is left to rot, such beauty should be preserved, I appreciate that you show us all the wonderful places thank you 😊
Oh my God, Beautiful castle. What a scary tunnels, you are too brave to explore those scary looking tunnels. Thank you
Great to see Lesley and Maureno together again thanks for a great castle
I understood what the Castle is, in the meantime after the various videos they have stolen many objects. You didn't make the video recently because there's a guardian now. It is not abandoned there is a dispute over the inheritance it seems. Greetings from my country Italy 💙
Nobodies lives in castile-abondoned. May be...
Sempre abbandonato è.....
Speriamo che verranno recuperati anche quei splendidi mobili ....e oggetti di vario genere.....
Sarebbe un peccato se restassero in stato che si vedono in questo video . ....
@@carmencornelianastase1240 ti ripeto che nn è abbandonato e a causa di questi video tanti oggetti preziosi come Lance medievali, coltelli, lampade ect sono state rubate.
@@carmencornelianastase1240 questo video nn l'ha fatto ora ma mesi fa, nel frattempo le cose per fortuna sono cambiate.
Infatti questi video dovrebbero essere fatti in modo tale da evitare il più possibile di far capire a chi guarda dove ci si trova, soprattutto se sono presenti molti oggetti, ovvio che se mostri foto degli esterni, documenti con chiari rimandi al posto, la gente furbetta ne approfitta.
I don't usually like things so ornate but you have to admire the beauty of it. I kept thinking what a lovely place that would be to hold weddings, can you imagine?
Thank you for taking us on your fantadtic journeys! I have really enjoyed this!!
This was an absolutely amazing tour. Thank you.
Magnificent!!! The ceilings were stunning! Question: do you ever get surprised by other humans or larger animals lurking in these spaces. I was holding my breath as you walked these tunnels 😂. We are living through your experiences, Lesley! Thank you, brave man.
Yes, that was creepy down in there especially when he lifted that drain and went down further. As an old lady, I wonder if a lot of those tunnels weren't built during the 2nd World War?
what if his light broke? pitch black to find your way out...
They should sell off the castle for a lot of money and do some preservation restoration work
Why don’t they get Thai or Indian laborers to fix up the castle
Ребята, какую необыкновенно красоту вы показали.! Аж дух захватывает. Смотрю видео про замки и ваши и не ваши, и вот одно не пойму :зачем строить в замках комнаты такой высоты, как для великанов!? Мебель в них кажется игрушечной. Да, от лишних денег люди сходят с ума. 😊НО, замок самый великолепный из всех. Я ещё не видела такой красоты. Хотелось бы посмотреть комнату для узников, которую вы не смогли открыть. Или бы посветили туда.
OK just to help you understand, because a room has a dining table doesn’t mean it was a dining room, most rooms of the period had tables for conversation, Day rooms, Card room, Reading room etc, love theses investigations you do great work
The setting in this castle is of stunning beauty. Thank you very much for the video tour.
My heart was aching with every room you showed. Dreaming of staying insuch a place even only for a few days.. a Master piece. Enjoyed it and was sad to see the end.
Greetings all the way from South-Africa
It's heartbreaking and blissfully enchanting. I can tell you are a true romantic. Thank you so much for taking us in there. It's just as if I were walking through a gorgeous museum. I am tremendously fascinated by abandoned places. It was well worth watching your video. I would have snatched a few mementos to take with me, however as you yourself said - never take anything with you!! I'm from Valletta, in Malta where all of our buildings are Baroque, from this same period and look exactly like this. There are quite a few palazzos that are livable thanks to people who restore them however it takes lots of maintenance. Most baroque palazzos were residences to noble families that had their own chapel. We lived in a Baroque building first and our building had a communal courtyard with a 16th century well and high walls, thick walls and the tiles are old. Then we lived in a Victorian apartment, and now a 1950s mid century apartment. Restoration is key when it comes to these buildings and quite honestly it does look like there has been an attempt at restoration so hopefully, it won't remain abandoned for too much longer before it finds its next owner. Who knows they might turn it into a boutique hotel. Incidentally, my grandmother had the same tapestry that was on that chocolate box on one of the walls of her Piano Sopra upstairs. I believe it was heavily reproduced at the turn of the century. My gran's family home is now a jewellery store selling Cartier and Rolex. Her marital home has been restored and is now a boutique hotel. These buildings have far-reaching potential, but the the only people that will afford to buy them and restore them are large businesses.
Hello 👋🏻 😊 from Kelowna , British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦. This is a bit of a novel… so you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to, but I hope you will… 😊 I fully loved your comment, I agree with everything thing you said. This castle is simply amazing, it is without question by far one of the most impressive buildings I’ve ever seen anywhere. The architecture, paintings, furniture and woodwork are unbelievable! 😮 so cool to see what amazing quality craftsman were capable of building … They just don’t make things like that now unfortunately… just cheap pressboard and crappy furniture that lasts about 5 years before it falls apart! In the future as a hobby when I get a bit older I would love to take extremely good pictures and recreate some of these incredible pieces of old furniture and cabinets from really high quality expensive real wood ! Possibly Mahogany, burl oak, black walnut etc. I’m not sure what they used back then or if you can even get it in modern times, so I will have to do some research 🧐! and then maybe even just make it out of a different type of wood but certainly Not cheap press / chipboard! I have all kinds of skills, tools and I am extremely patient and picky about my workmanship! But I’ve never seen that as a bad thing … in this day and age I might be one of the very few people left on the planet that could make similar things. 😄 The tour Leslie gave of this 1000 year old Italian castle was amazing and could have been many hours longer and I still would have watched every second of it ! 😊 it was absolutely fascinating in the best way possible! I love how he is so respectful and careful with the families belongings and even just with the items and building itself when he goes into these places. I would love to go with him ! 😊 In other videos I’ve seen that he has done in the past, He will even put things back on a table or fireplace mantle where it belongs if it’s on the floor where may get damaged etc. 😊 For the most part places like this do not exist where I live. ( the only one I can think of that’s even remotely close is in Victoria B.C., out on the pacific coast there is one called Craigdaroch Castle and it’s really cool to see as well ( built in 1908 if I can remember right, as it’s been almost 30 years since I was there. Owned by coal baron Robert Dunsmir the richest man in B.C. at that time ) it is not as large as this castle and nowhere near as old but it is also quite impressive in it’s own right. ( 25 rooms I think 🤔but I can’t be sure of that I was only about 22 years old when I saw it so it’s been a long time now but it certainly made a huge impression on me. In all these years I’ve never forgotten about it! It’s the most incredible building I’ve ever personally been inside. I should go out there on a little vacation just to see it again! 😊) Generally when someone here says “ that place is really old” they mean it was built in 1960. 😄Thank You for mentioning the places and buildings you, your family and your Grandmother 👵 have lived in the past, they sound awesome! She must have had ( is still having hopefully ?) an interesting and incredible life! 😊 Thanks for sharing that part of your life story. I hope you have a really great 🍾🥂 🎉 New Year’s 🥳 , Andy
Meu Deus que coisa mais linda 💗 e um espetáculo Bros você ficou muito lindo de príncipe parabéns pelo seu trabalho eu amei ❤️ que maravilha 💘 que linda a paisagem ❤️ que lindo o pavão
