Abandoned CHATEAU Restoration For Sale | GOLDFINGER HOME TOUR.

Bonjour à tous, In this episode Ash, jonathan & Terry visit a beautiful abandoned chateau dating back to 1760 and once owned by the infamous John Palmer AKA Goldfinger. Over the past couple of decade’s the chateau has feel into disrepair but looking around we can still see the grandeur it once had, with a stunning chapel on site fitted with beautiful hand carved wood panelling Terry is in love but sad to see the state of it all.
The story was beautiful for 15 years until the assassination of the owner, then recognized and wanted by all the police for mafia acts now identified, making him the No. 1 crook nicknamed "Goldfinger". The property was then abandoned, nature regained its rights and the very hypothetical suspicion that a treasure had been hidden there sparked a "gold rush" with devastating consequences for the place... A real looting took place in the general indifference, leaving today a spectacle of desolation.

About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

Thanks for the shout out lads, we really appreciate it. Very sad to see how people have treated such a beautiful piece of French history. It looks wonderful and will be again one day we are sure. Keep on the great work.

[@janettaylor3182]

I am already subscribed to you're channel don't watch the TV only the all of you working away to save such beautiful places , I sooner watch real people battling to save properties and you all do a brilliant job near on breaking you're back's. You all should be really proud of the work you do for french heritage and I'll never understand why these beautiful place are neglected so badly and not kept to be used their are a gem in the history of France , can't get my head around why with stunning features that blow you're mind ❤️

[@KrisanthiaMum]

Love you channel ❤️

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Hey Lesa and Ted, I was so thrilled Ash and Terry promoted your channel. 💕🥳💞

[@amayastrata4629]

€650,000 plus fees chaps. Then perhaps that again at the very least for renovation.

Jonathan’s Journey: Growing Up In A Chateau

[@brandispry576]

Oh how absolutely HEARTBREAKING it was to see that gorgeous chateau in such horrible disarray. I am so happy yall were thinking of buying it and that someone else will be purchasing it. Thank you for showing the beauty of it. ❤

[@janescott4574]

I’m so pleased you gave a shout out to Ted and Lesa at Chateau de Montmagner. They work so hard and sleep in a tent in a slightly dodgy barn while they restore this unique 14th century Chateau and former Relais de la Poste. They have an EXTREMELY limited budget and need all the help they can get. So excited to see the third floor kitchen progression and of course, Ash’s sink!

[@teepeeX]

Definitely subscribe

[@anne4083]

Been watching them from the beginning!! It's a shame they don't have the following they deserve.

[@mavismacdonald4158]

Thankyou for shout out for Lisa and Ted ,also been watching them from being, very hard working couple.

[@sandrajebb2790]

Oh I am only 2 1/2 minutes in and I am already nearly in tears! What an awful shame that chateau has been so horribly damaged! Vandals/destroyers make me so angry.. Hopefully the new owners will be able to give "the Grand Old Lady" a new lease on life! I'm now at 15:45 and I wonder if there is any hope for her...😢😢🙏🙏

[@nicolethijs5428]

Chateau de Montmagner is defenitly worth following! Lesa and Ted are a great couple restoring an old Relais de Poste, Chateau de Montmagner!

[@pam7754]

I can imagine how magnificent this chateau was. It makes me sad to see the damage taggers do to buildings. I think it’s great Jonathan is creating his own channel. Who knows where it will take him?

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Pam! 😊

[@timmymendenhall1275]

What are taggers ?

[@pam7754]

People that deface property with spray paint.

[@lynnefoster9]

I am looking forward to seeing France and chateaus thru his eyes and perspective.

[@bstanevich]

I could see Edwardian ladies floating elegantly through that magnificent grand entry and the upstairs rooms. I'm not sure if it was the cinematography, the music or the ghosts of the ladies... So sad to see these old chateaus in such a state. I'm sure the Lalacelle community is very happy that you are restoring their chateau. It is too bad we all don't have enough years and enough money to be able to restore many many of the old and glorious buildings not only in France but around the world. Speaking of money, thank you for mentioning the @ChateauDeMontmagner channel. I'm a patron of theirs too. They have done amazing things with their old castle without much money, but with lots of love and muscle. The other fairly new channel I love is: The Beau Chateau! Thanks for this lovely video!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Yes you can just imagine people walking around in their beautiful dress 🥰

[@paulacorreal1675]

I can never understand the mentality of those that would do such damage to a building. It is absolutely unbelievable. Just hoping the owner will sell it to someone who will restore it to its previous grandeur. Love your channel fellas, also Jonathan is a real plus … I’m looking forward to seeing his videos. …from PA, USA. …definitely like Jonathan’s Place as a title for his channel. 🤣

[@bonnabrimhall8080]

I was absolutely thrilled to see Jonathan! He is definitely destined for great things, I for one will be joining in on his channel, it is going to be fun seeing the château and all the work going on through his eyes. I think a good name for his channel would be “Jonathan’s World” or “Château Life With Jonathan”, no matter what he names his channel, I know it will be as unique and amazing as he his. As for this chateau tour, I honestly watched this video with tears in my eyes. This building is so beautiful with many unique features, seeing it in ruins and destroyed at the hands of a$$ holes who don’t care about anything other then themselves, made me so very sad. However, I thank you for showing this beautiful property and allowing my mind to immerse in its beauty and imagine what it looked like when it was whole. Hopefully the new owners will start a KZbin channel and we can watch the progress of this magnificent lady being brought back to life.

[@ennykraft]

Love the video! Thank you for sharing with us. Hopefully the new owner will restore it to its former glory and not modernize everything. I really appreciate your approach towards modernizing your château. It's so sad when the unique character of old buildings get taken away. If you have a new building IMO you're welcome to do whatever the heck you want with it. But old buildings aren't simply the property of the owner. They are part of the cultural heritage of the country they're in. You're just a temporary caretaker of the past for the future.

[@lornasimmons5499]

I LOVED this episode! Its heartbreaking to see buildings like this 😢 I hope someone rescues it. Proper urban explorers don't vandalise they only take photos, this has probably been done by kids. The wallpaper and vaulted ceiling and windows in the entry hall are incredible xx

[@iu.5146]

Jonathan is such a unique child. Show him the videos of Martijn Doolaard. He is such an artist at videography and photography. He is renovating a cabin in the Italian Alps. Watch his 1 year progress video. He also took two bike trips around the world. The photos from his trip are mesmerizing. Jonathan is exposed to so many interesting things. He has a remarkable career ahead of him. Maybe he can do LiDAR scans of historical buildings. Someone did that with Notre Dame and h the s data is no used for the restoration.

[@iu.5146]

Let Jonathan try out the free version of Sketchup. He can scan and design a room in the Chateau and document his ideas on video. He definitely has Uncle Terry’s creativity. He needs a drone for his KZbin channel. It just warms my heart to see him grow and developed his talents.

[@joycegifford8826]

The damage brings tears to my eyes. Yet amazingly enough one can still look past it and see the grandeur.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

What a beautiful chateau and chapel!!! It is SUCH A SHAME how people vandalize gorgeous old properties. 🤗❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦🇫🇷

[@shirleyw8531]

I love the idea of seeing everything through Jonathan's eyes maybe a good name could be Jonathan's journey? Thanks for mentioning Ted and Lesa at montmagner, I have followed them from the very beginning when Ted announced "we have arrived " they are very much like yourselves, hard working, careful to keep things original and again like yourselves a lovely couple. I can't wait to see the kitchen installed and finished and I am sure you will pick an amazing colour for the walls

[@valeriedeforge5961]

Hi guys! So much fun to explore but sad to see all this history and beautiful craftsmanship go to ruin. What a great education for Johnathan and he already has a great eye and opinion on what he sees. Your family certainty are good mentors for him. Thankyou for taking us along for the ride.❤

[@rachaelnewton4320]

Another channel that is absolutely worth watching is @OurFrenchChateau Amanda and Lincoln have been documenting the restoration of their Chateau in Brittany France for over 12 months and they only have a small following at present. I love their humour and honesty and would love for more people to get to know them too! As always keep up the great work guys and I can’t wait to see what Johnathon does with his new Chanel ☺️

[@jbr7300]

I’ve never heard Jonathan talk so much! Adorable to see his excitement and will look forward to what his channel looks like. This chateau was a beauty in its day and very sad to see it’s current state. Hope the current sale negotiations go through and it can be brought back to its glory. Thanks for taking us through it - now get back to work! ✌🏼

[@katherineleavitt6335]

What a magnificent Chateau, you took us to today so beautiful. I do hope someone decides to save it from total ruin. Johnathan is so blessed that he has the opportunity to experience history before it is totally destroyed. I live in the southern part of the US and during the Civil War so many of our beautiful historical homes were burnt to the ground, the ones still standing are usually the ones where the officers resided when they were in that part of the countryside. God Bless you for being caretakers of your lovely Chateau for years to come. Kathy USA

[@y.lelivelt2619]

I think this title is a nice one for Johnathan; .....The Chateau Kid..... Because I think he'll film around the chateau Delalacelle.When you see and learn in a young age it is often for youre lifetime. He saw today a terrible destruction but at home he sees the opposite,a reconstruction of a building.I think he learned a lot today,not only filming for his channel,but he learned you have to take care for youre house and garden.

[@kathyacemoi3241]

Terry et Ash merci de nous montrer ces monuments magnifiques, malheureusement dévastés par du vandalisme et la cupidité. Félicitation à Jonathan! j'irais suivre ses aventures .Son regard sera certainement tout aussi enrichissant.

[@robertabackus5008]

What a pity that the Goldfinger was so trashed. thanks for showing it! I'd like to make a suggestion for a name for Jonathan's channel: "Jonathan's Outlook "

[@lizstevenson7801]

Love the video, that Chataeu would have been stunning in its day. Please don't confuse 'Explorers' with 'Vandals' as the majority of explorers are there to look and don't touch, they see the history the natural paint peel and decay. Vandals just destroy and have no thought for anything belonging to other people. So glad that there maybe new owners to restore this Chataeu and Chapel back to its glory. Jonathan should call his new channel 'A down to earth view of our Chateau'. Well done everyone, I did enjoy this 💕🇦🇺

[@charmees6637]

I felt like crying looking at the damage done to that Chateau. It’s so mindless why anybody would destroy it. Terry that was so sweet you asking if you could buy it just to save it. Yes that dining room was Magnificent it would have been so stunning. Thanks for the video ❤

[@davidluesebrink4659]

FRESH TAKE ON THE PAST!!! PAST MEET THE PRESENT!!!! I 💜 to see FRESH perspective on past ways of living!

[@susannejohnson6904]

Really interesting Chateau. I am sooo happy that you mentioned Chateau Montmager!! They are such a hard working couple and I really think they need to be shown some love.

[@hmeyers5114]

I cry when I see the hard work of craftsmen and women destroyed. Imagine, when many of these abandoned chateau were built, there were no power tools, no motorized cars or trucks, and probably no electricity. Did they go mad trying to perfectly replicate piece after piece of paneling? The people who made these items of beauty did it to earn a very small living, but you can see in the red paint in the flowers in the chapel that there was also passion and a sense of beauty in what they created! What was it like when the owners moved in and the chateau was finished? The people who put blood, sweat, and long hours into creating it were likely full of pride for a job well done, even if they were never able to see inside the completely finished work. Imagine being able to walk past the hand chiseled corbels or a stone vaulted ceiling, pointing to them, and saying, "Your Grandad made that!" There just isn't the same satisfaction completing something with a 3-D printer or laser cutter. Best wished to Jonathan on his proposed channel! I look forward to seeing his creation. P.S. Thank you for the shout out to Chateau Montmagner. ❤Two people restoring one of the oldest structures with amazingly few views. Cute dogs, too!

[@heidicolburn6222]

I have totally fallen in love with this place just from your video.

[@peggyvick935]

So excited for Johnathan’s French Chateau Journey ! His videographer skills have grown. Funny story... My granddaughter, age 5 at the time, was flower girl in my son’s wedding. Unbeknownst to anyone, she had grabbed a Reception table camera (110)? & went on a Photographic Adventure! We never knew until the pictures were developed! Her view, & the pictures she took were mind blowing. In a snap moment, she took the cutest picture EVER of my daughter in law. It was so memorable. Count me in as a subscriber for Johnathan. REMEMBER ‼️ YTube algorithms, & how it works. In describing your channel, add hashtags. #France #FrenchChateau #Travel #FrenchTours Get the idea? YT algo will then recommend his videos. This granny is proud of you Johnathan.❤

[@forjustice7209]

Hi guys ! Love your stories , enjoy watching you restoring your castle. Never wrote to you but today just wanted to say that I think the way you think: the character of an old building should be saved and live as it was designed AND meant to be. That´s the only way to do. I myself live in Sweden in a 800 sq m mansion that is 180 years old and the furniture and interiors coincide with that and I enjoy it ! I feel the history and the past as well as develop the building and adopt it to modern conveniences. I have a housekeeper on salary and a gardener . But I have a good job and can afford little extra. It is really some sort of a hobby to live and to restore this old beauty and to give it new life.

[@maryrusso8417]

What possibilities! Imagining your family's magic renovation on this property...would be stunning! For Johnathan: The View from the Bottom Up or Bottoms Up or Ever Upward...:)

So sad to see so many homes neglected, but glad to hear someone is interested in restoration of this once beautiful home. My mom watched your video last night and she and I loved to see it.

[@ellebelle8515]

This is why your family and restoration is so special. You make every effort to save the original building with all its historical features and artistry. There are many stories in those old walls, and I am of the school that it is tragic to erase all that history. When you ran your hand over the carved wooden florets inside the abandoned chapel, we could imagine the hands of those who tirelessly and passionately worked to create a building of pure beauty and majesty.

[@debbieosborn9464]

So sad to see these once beautiful Chateaus going to ruin. The room with the fabulous fireplace still had some beautiful features.

[@kimberly_erin]

This is my dream chateau. I wish I could be the one to rescue it. There a shows that tour abandon buildings and I just can’t watch those channels. I’m glad Terry made sure someone is planning to looks after this one. I get so emotional seeing old buildings go to ruins.

I am so happy someone is buying the abandoned chateau. Hope springs eternal! I agree with you 100% regarding your approach. We have owned several old homes and never understood people buying an old home, taking out everything authentic and replacing it with new siding, new plaster, new woodwork....all to replicate the old, but new nevertheless. Your chateau will keep it's grace, dignity, beauty AND history, thanks to you.

[@janettaylor3182]

Stunning video certainly gets your imagination going to think how beautiful it was and can be , I don't understand why such gems are left to rot beyond me to be honest. I'm already on the other channels well loads to be honest use to do old cottages up in 1970 into the 90s , I'd never thought about in France how can such amazing architecture be so neglected while they were in one piece. Could have been bought by the government and made money for the people of France , mind you there are stunning places in the UK just rotting . I don't watch TV just you amazing people putting you're love into these awesome Chateau's and other place's, I prefer to watch you all triumph over the odds to save these stunning places part of France heritage . Makes me feel sad that such beauty's were left too decay so much and had to be bought to save them , still it's a wonderful thing you all do be proud I'm proud of you all to watch reality and not false TV. Families that take that step to the unbelievable into returning the sad buildings into gems again , wish I'd done it but never gave it a thought love you all for making these places breath again ❤️❤️❤️
