ABANDONED Millionaire’s Mansion - The Family Isn't Allowed Inside

Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you enjoyed this video and check out my other videos of explorations from all over the world!
This mansion was the home of Marcel and his beloved wife Petra. Marcel was originally from the city of Zurich, Switzerland where he grew up and later took over the family business of producing zinc, a highly successful company that operated out of China.
Aside from his career, Marcel was passionate about two things- his family, and the restoration of historical buildings. In fact, at the age of 50, he decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of moving out of the city and into the peaceful countryside of France… but under the condition that he find a historical manor that needed desperate renovation to restore it to its former glory. He did just that
He found 17th century mansion perched upon a hill just on the outskirts of a small, peaceful French village and he created a masterpiece from the bear bones the mansion had been for many years. After the work was completed, he started a new life with his family here and so began the next chapter of his life.
Eventually, his children all grew up and moved away to other parts of the world and so Marcel and Petra lived out their years in the home until 2010, when Petra was diagnosed with cancer and died the following year. Marcel, also battling his own health problems was now unable to walk and barley able to take care of himself.
Losing his beloved wife proved to be too much for Marcel. Battling his own set of health issues from his old age, he was now unable to walk and barley able to take care of himself, let alone deal with the loneliness that haunted him.
Surrounded by the walls he'd built for his family, they'd become hellacious reminders of the love, the joy, and the life that was once here but is now gone with the passing of time.
Not long after his wife's death, in 2013, Marcel died, alone in his house. One can only speculate he grieved himself to death.
Sadly, even though his children were to inherit the property, they've all been in a legal battle with each other for nearly a decade, unable to reach an agreement on how to divide the estate. Meanwhile, the once marvelous masterpiece their father had created now sits completely abandoned and decaying with every year that passes.
So come with me on this exploration and let's have a look at what's left inside of Marcel's home.

Thanks for all of your questions and thoughts on this place! I'm really enjoying the comments on this video so feel free to give your opinion or ask me a question!

[@GBD867]

Amazing work to show and explain Wow. Admire your explorations and talk this history.

[@synchronicity1470]

oh bugger! I somehow lost my comment, midway!! Here's attempt #2. I can write with ease as i'm doing it fr my laptop. There's no way I could EVER type this from a phone. 🤫 I know from your past comments, you warmly invite your subscribers to share thoughts & ask questions, so I feel comfortable doing so. wow. This little chateau is a treat! The deep pink tufted-velvet, curved bed head & footboard was stunningly beautiful & French. I have seen similar antique ones priced at $4500 US dollars. I'd take that bed and the pink bedcovering and the large oval framed floral and be happy! I'd also want the velvet chairs from the red room & maybe do them in a pretty lavender-blue if the red clashed. All the velvets on the other beds & chairs colors were equally beautiful. However, the one wallpaper leaving me dumbstruck was the one w/ the peacock/floral motif. (insert bug-eye emoji) in the red room. Could you (or anyone else) tell if the pieces falling down were paper or fabric? I'd take that pink velvet bed & bed cover, have it all professionally deep cleaned & then I'd do my walls in the peacock floral!! Happy camper! That blue and white wallpaper with small repeated pastoral scenes was a quintessentially French design called Toile de Jouy, sounded out twall de jwee. It comes in amazing different motifs, different colors. The scenes usually convey a theme depicting subjects: the 4 seasons, french country/pastoral life, hunting, etc. Do a google search of Toile de Jouy & click (google) "images" and you will see the infinite variety. It's still a well-loved design motif and manufactured today in wall papers & fabrics for home decor, clothing & accessories. The framed lady you asked about looks to be a type of needlepoint called petit-point (sounds like petty point) embroidery. It was a tradition for young French girls to learn this skill and continue with it into later years. They would needlepoint portraits, chair covers, framed pieces for the wall, table-top fireplace screens to protect the face, even floor rugs. It was sad the way the owner's dream restoration is being lost to the elements. Jeremy, There is something I want to send you which will be of immeasurable value to your work. How can we arrange this? Thank you for another thoughtful explore!! pam

I have to tell you Jeremy; I started watching abandoned videos about a month ago (5 or 6 different explorers). YOU are by far the best! Your filming & narration is excellent. You don't rush thru it, you tell a great story, and you are respectful of the homes and their families. I also like that you get excited about wallpaper - LOL

[@rachel6946]

I love these videos, very interesting! I love the vitorian style home

[@CeruleanTalon]

To be so self absorbed and greedy are the children that they can't just say, "You take the home,' instead of leaving it to decay. Now no one will benefit from the mansion or continue to keep the home up in their parents' memories.

[@Zarathustran]

They didn't become that way in a vacuum. No idea what the problem is but parents have something to do with who their adult children become. Something as simple as too much focus on the house and not enough on the kids seems like it could prompt people to fight over the thing that was more valuable than they were. It's gorgeous, and clearly it came at a price.

[@cookiecazares5833]

@@Zarathustran 💯 agree with you. My parents have caused so much pain trying to raise me and sisters but at the same time wanted to keep their best friend (cocaine). We were brought up into a very unhealthy lifestyle it still hurts to remember trying to be a kid and growing up at the same time. Some parents hold very deep secret till they die that only the surviving kids can testify about it or choose to remain quiet. My best bet they choose to stay quiet cause remembering bring so much pain. But to each their own.

[@rhonda5178]

. your jRe c no it was

[@AcornHillHomestead]

What a gorgeous home. I remember two local sisters who refused to compromise on the price of their parents home. One wanted out, the other thought it was worth more than it was. It was starting to fall into decay and we were willing to buy it and fix it. We made an offer, the realtor said she would not take the offer to the daughters as it was insulting so she thought. We found something else much better right away, cheaper with more and prettier land. It had better bones. We rehabbed that home and retired to it. The home the daughters could not agree upon still sits more than 15 years later. No one bought it and its just rotting away. Its worth little or nothing now. Mother Nature is claiming it now sadly. It would be so costly to do anything with it today. So sad two siblings cant get it together.

[@pamk5620]

I'm not sure why but I am crying like a baby watching this. The wheelchair and the bathroom made me so sad knowing the king of his castle died all alone. All that work just left to the elements. The red bedroom was beautiful and I would love to find reproduction wallpaper. Beautiful rug as well. You are great at story telling and bringing the story and home to life. Thank you my friend.

[@kellyhoward5893]

What a beautiful, old home! I watch videos of old, abandoned houses all the time, but this one just made me feel some sort of way. I guess a little bit sad for the old fellow that owned it. It's a shame that his children have allowed their parents dream home to go to ruins, but it sure is beautiful. Great video!!!

[@nicolasmaximus2286]

The old man has been away too long from his family to restore other buildings. Now it just backfired!! Karma taking it's course.🤣☝️

[@lisaboone5719]

Gotta say, youve brought tears to my eyes . How sensitive you are to recognize this disabled mans end of life struggles. Sadly, I feel that he may of been alone during his last years in his home. I too have lost my mobility - at least as I once had it . This reminds me of how it can all go. And how sad it is that this mans children have allowed this beautiful home he built for them to go into ruin. These lovely antique pieces of furniture! Such a beautiful museum of time gone by .. a true work of art .. all French style with a touch of Japanese flair . 😢

[@catherinefrohwerk4325]

I love how much of your heart goes into your videos. The way you describe each room I often just close my eyes and watch with my ears then I will start it over and watch with my eyes and it is so mind blowing. It makes me sad to think of those beautiful beds chairs and do on including the wallpaper just going to waste. So so sad.

I love the tenderness in your voice when you explain your investigations. Shame on the children for allowing this to happen. It could be restored to former glory.

What an infinite sadness to see this house so degraded by time, by thieves and vandals. Maybe the children didn't deserve it since they waged a legal battle to divide the inheritance. Nn have thought of the sacrifices and feelings that bound him to this home, sorry but at this point nature took its course. Greetings from Italy 👏💙

I don’t know how many children the owner had but if they could have all pitched in, they could have saved this lovely home and perhaps lived in it as one large family. There certainly would have been enough bedrooms and living spaces to accommodate many people. I used to watch shows like yours and stopped for awhile as no-one was that good at this until I stumbled on your videos. You are better at exploration than most who do this. Thank you for renewing my interest in these sadly nearly forgotten places. I am now subscribed and am playing catch up with your videos.

[@munroborisenko7278]

And now the kids really have nothing to argue over; the home except for a few items is worthless.

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

19:40 those fabric pictures are called tapestries. 20:20 that is a phone table and was called a "gossip bench." What a beautiful home that is! The owner/builder had much to be proud of. As you walked us through, I was picking out kinds of antiques that I'd love to have.

hi guys! I;m a little later for the party. 😁 Now, THIS is a home of exquisite taste. The place reflected owner's affiliation with the Orient, in the embroidered silks and special wallpapers.

I just wanted to put a little FYI in France inheritance tax. If you have one child it's 50% if you have two children it's 60% and if you have three or more. So it's 25 % left so about zero value almost when you get involved with the inheritance tax on that. That applies to the property in the building's too.

You're a wonderful Storyteller; thank you!

It's so sad that the man who restored the house probably intended his family to enjoy it, but now that the children can't come to an agreement, it means that no one gets to enjoy it. Seeing all the beautiful work that went into this house, and the wheelchair, the shoes, and the wheelchair - it's a real reminder that you can't take it with you.

How could a Family just let this chateau go like this its so sad .

[@Thisworldisgoingcrazy]

There needs to be laws to protect beautiful old buildings like this, if the family are going to let it rot away the government should claim it and restore it …..it could be used for functions or rented out for a wedding party and wedding guests to get back some of the money spent saving the house .

That Victorian looking chair with the attached drawer has me shook!! I love it! How can they just leave this beautiful home and amazing furniture abandoned??

[@JeremyXplores]

I KNOW!! It should be a crime to leave that stuff behind

[@thereadingvoyage]

@@JeremyXplores I'm like you I love the antiques and especially beautiful vintage wallpaper!!! 💖 It's really nice to hear you appreciate the wallpaper :)

Oh Jeremy , I’m truly sorry about your father, I know loss and nothing can ever take that pain away, when you lease expect it, your father will come to you, in your dreams or during a difficult situation…. I lost my 16 year old son, he was my one and only son, and he died on Easter Sunday 4/21/19 , I feel your pain, and I’m glad you made the decision to live your best life on behalf of your father, I’m 100% sure he’s looking down and he’s very proud of the man you have become… you are his legacy, when you look in the mirror, it’s your father looking back at you, smile and be proud 😊❤️♥️

your narration and music make your videos so grand❤ thank you! why are the twin beds soooooo long??? is that a european thing????

[@rachealsmith5138]

This place is fantastic! I have seen it before, but very much enjoyed the way you presented it. I do like your explorer style. When you went into the red room I believe both of us were saying oh my gosh at the same time or something like that! I am curious why the popes hat was in there. It is so sad to think that those kids are just frittering away their history by arguing. By the time they finally decide what they want to do, it’s not even gonna be worth it. I hope nature reclaims this as graceful as it looks like. Thank you for the wonderful explore! Take care!

It's sad that both parents passed away and the children cannot agree on anything regarding the family property. The house is very beautiful inside. I don't recall if was the bedroom with the yellow bed or the red bedroom that had the beautiful bathroom in it or not!?!

Beautiful home you have a lot of empathy. Very hard getting old things u can’t do anymore. Love your videos thanks again

[@vintiago]

It must have been a beautiful home before it became abandoned. The antique secretaries looked gorgeous and I would have loved to have seen the inside of them.

[@meganhappel12]

That blue wallpaper is called Toile De jour or just toile (pronounced twall) idk why I wanted to share that with you but if you’re a wallpaper fan it’s fun to know some pattern names! I’m an Interior Designer, I’m loving your videos and seeing these abandoned homes. Some so sad. Thank you for sharing

Came across your channel today & after watching a couple, I'm now subscribed. Find them fascinating with a hint of tragedy. Reminds us how fragile & temporary our lives are. It's such a shame that a once much loved home has been left to rack & ruin whilst the greedy siblings fight over the estate🙄, I think their parents would be devastated. The french beds are gorgeous & definitely original ~ what a waste

[@richardackley1823]

You were very respectful touring the beautiful house, especially respecting the last owner, and recognizing all his work to restore the mansion. The children should have kept it up instead of walking away from it. Very sad.

[@sugarbear1965]

Do you really think people wouldn’t take these things?! No way.

[@sugarbear1965]

Hard to believe
