    Absolutely breath taking. We are so fortunate to have people in the world that want to restore and keep these beautiful buildings. So many beautiful buildings have been lost to wars and bulldozers.

    Money, effort, energy and passion well focussed and executed. This Château is just beyond phenomenal. In my region called the Westland, there stood a lot of beautiful grand estates, they are all gone! My family castles, ruins!

    Amazing castle. Also, as an architect I very much appreciate the spirit in which the historic heritage is approached. This is one of very few examples where I agree with every single decisions about what and how is preserved or restored.

    Truly spectacular! The quality and size of the oak ceiling beams and joists are incredible, the dressed lime stone blocks on the façade and the new reimagined lucarnes are breathtakingly beautiful. The new attic beams just blew me away! The beauty of french craftsmanship is on full display here. I imagine you will install bathrooms on each floor inside the circular turrets. Will you be having radiant floor heating before the wood or stone floors go in?

    From someone who restored a ruin in Brandenburg, this is very impressive.
    Yes, restoration has to treat lightly in order not to create something new. What they have done so far is remarkable and I hope they are successful with the use of the castle after they are done with their restoration.
    Also I had to smile at his remarks at the beginning when he said that they want to restore it in one going. Yes, majority will be done, but this will take money and time every year, month, week, day after they want to be finished.

    This restoration is incredible. It is breathtaking. I have a question though, why are all the castle restorations I have seen rebuilt to include electricity, plumbing and heating/cooling? This may seem like a dumb question, but doesn't anyone want to live like people did in those times? Using fire places for heating and cooking? Carrying in water etc. Going to the bathroom in a bucket. Granted, there may not be enough forests for wood. So is that the reason no one restores them to in their original design and functionality?

      It would seem the gentry has been forced into modernity with the freeing of the peasants to stoke the fires and empty the chamber pots but also shrewd enough to maintain capabilities

    • @mountainstream8351

      @@gula9993 Newsflash: The gentry have servants to this day! They do not keep up their properties by themselves. So I don't think its a lack of hired help that prevents them from living as their predecessors did.
      And there was a large forest connected to the castle so I don't think it's a shortage of wood either.
