      Jethro, probably thieves would give the items a second life. Have u seen how
      abandoned homes have rotted over time with animals and weeds and rain have destroyed nice homes. It’s just a matter of time before everything there rots away. It’s only been 15 years, but in due time leaks and other damages can happen. Then the outer elements destroy it. It’s actually better if someone preserved these wonderful pieces before it’s wrecked.

      MR Thank you very much for your comment Michelle. We are very happy to hear you enjoy our perspective and style of the videos. Still, we are trying to improve our skills and videography each and every day, and in the future we want to invest in new & better camera gear. Thanks to you we are one step further in this process! We just saw your donation and message on PayPal and want to let you know we are really grateful for that. It’s amazing to hear you love seeing all the abandoned mansions we share with you & more. Thank you very much once again and please stay safe there in Cleveland during these tough times of COVID-19. We wish you all the best. Maureno & Remon from the Netherlands :) 🇳🇱

      I thought you guys were from Belgium, guess that's Bros of Decay. My sister lives in Almere, Netherlands. She initially moved to Lelystad 20 yrs ago! I would give more, but I am only getting $117/wk on unemployment and because of Covid-19, returning back to work has been delayed a couple wks. Plus, I figure if we all give a little....it will add up. ❤️
      Additionally, I think your video skills are excellent. I don't know about equipment, but I think yours does the job. Ha, ha, ha....that could be taken wrong way, sorry. I DO have a sense of humor.
      Your command of the English language needs improvement and presentation could improve, but you guys are young and doing GREAT! Don't be hard on yourselves. It took my sister almost 20 years to reach University level Dutch. I visited her after 9-11, over the New Year 2001-2002, when the euro was instituted. I thought her Dutch was great then. She said it sucked. Anyhow, you guys are the best. My favorites are Explomo, Bros of Decay and Exploring with Josh.

      I've seen a similar video on YT with guys exploring a huge villa in Japan. There a 6tatmi room is already quite expensive and that guy had rooms where you could play soccer in! -except for the fact that they were still filled to the brim with things that should be in a museum (Renaissance paintings and statues from the 18th c, Chinese porcelain, crystal glass, Persian carpets...). Due to an earthquake, many things fell over or down and the roof got damaged so that now water is damaging the things. Things, where probably one room alone would be enough to pay all my debts and allow me to live without working for many years!

      @Angela G Many of them are left because any heir dies and those that could take over have 0 idea of the value and fear that accepting the heritage would cost more in maintenance and you can also inherit debts, etc. Living in such a chateau is pretty expensive, not just regarding electricity and maintenance, but also yearly tax!
      It's also a lot of work of dissolving a big household and you'd need multiple experts to judge the value of the items and find buyers and assess the maintenance on the building itself before it can be resold if that's even possible. In the worst case, you're stuck with an uninhabitable place, where you have to pay 1million per year!
      In a few cases, it was that the owners had to flee (mostly from the law, but occasionally a catastrophe, such as the land becoming toxic, or an earthquake rendering the home unstable).

    Taxes, taxes, this is the reason so many of these buildings are abandoned. How can you do the repairs and renovations when the taxes are so high? Reduce taxes on the properties in France, allow them to be occupied and restored. In a century you will see a legacy to France with restored historical buildings. Or, abandoned wasteland with structures not fit for habitation and an eyesore for the French government.

      The taxes are deliberate it's part of a system that has been used for centuries with the purpose of dismantling all the old world architecture. The buildings go into ruin due to the high taxation and then there is "cause" or "reason" to tear them down for "safety" or "land redevelopment" etc.

      Gloria, property taxes in France are low. But paying the qualified craftmen able to properly maintain and restore that kind of buildings is out of price. You can buy castles for the price of a new appartement here, but I will cost you ten time more to restore it.

      ​@@theworldisastageexitright4288 Sometimes it's the opposite. I dated someone who grew up in a castle in Ireland that had been in the family for generations. She told me how much of the castle had no electricity while growing up for reasons such as costs and perhaps needing rewiring(she told of extension leads gradually snaking through more and more of the place over time), and while being titled (a Lady) one might imagine the family would be super well off, that wasn't the case. The cost of upkeep for these places is immense, and a residence could easily spiral into decline from being unable to even make repairs and maintain its current state let alone improve it.

The bed that you said would have had curtains is a canopy bed. Mirrors in hotels, homes, offices, etc. are used to make the rooms seem bigger kind of like an optical illusion.

    You're right, guys: it's magical. This mansion is just incredible. I just cannot believe that it was abandonned.
    And always some discreet flowers in a corner!
    Be safe, wear your masks, and your gloves for the duration!
    my best to the two of you.
    Cheers.

I adore your videos and would LOVE to accompany you guys through such a lovely house one day. If this chateau was ever in the U.S. it would have been completely vandalized. How brilliant it is that you're able to locate and enter these fantastic, majestic chateaus and take us along on your journey. Thank you for sharing these extraordinary chateaus with us and allowing us to see how the wealthy lived. Bravo to you both for your incredible visits.

    Hi Maureno and Remon, Explomo, A really amazing location, you found to explore in France! - It seems to be a very typical smaller french
    château, that was used later on as a smaller country side hotel, especially if you consider the amount of bathrooms and toilets on the upper
    floors. - I have once been in a wonderful very ancient manor house/ hotel in Ireland. - So I really think this might very well be possible.
    The interior in the main floor still holds some original furniture and fittings as I assume, when watching your video. Especially beautiful
    were the wood carvings on the old furniture in the living room and grand dining room. There in the room, where this unique monumental
    painting was visible you were admiring the elaborate textile wall fittings. - I think, these are also still original embroideries. - Of course I also
    want to mention the wonderful chandeliers on the ceilings. - I loved watching this explore! - Thank you so much, fabulous Dutch boys from team
    Explomo, for taking us on this very interesting tour through such a beautiful building. - I hope, you are well. Stay safe in these insecure times.
    Wishing you all the best, lots of blessings and kindest regards from warm and sunny Switzerland.

    Wonder if at some point they had a small hotel and then converted back to home. Indirect lighting in bathrooms definitely an upgrade but easy to install in a soffit as they did. And if you had that big a house and the money, wouldn’t you have a bathroom with every bedroom? Haha.
