ABANDONED UNTOUCHED CASTLE With Everything Left INCREDIBLE FAIRYTALE CHÂTEAU

#abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #abandonedplacesuk #urbex #abandonedhousefrance
Sometimes, it really feels like we have drifted into a fairytale, this was one of the most convincing places yet…
We are greeted by a majestic entrance hall, adorned with ebony furniture and trophies from hunting parties so very long ago.
Designed to impress, although now surrounded by decay, its exquisite features don’t fail to leave us stunned.
Kept within the same family for centuries, its hard to understand how such an elegant home could possibly be left this way.
Above us, three floors of enchanting bedrooms await, all boasting their own unique style.
We find a family chapel and down in the basement, the heart of the chateau, time is so perfectly frozen.
This outstanding property and its breathtaking scenery is somewhere we wont soon forget…
Join us inside this forgotten home, that transports you away into a fairytale realm.

[@nanduarte2119]

Breaks my heart to see places like this just left to rot. They don't make them like this anymore. So sad

[@amberdavidson2769]

Those negatives are extremely rare. They should be in a museum. Thanks for the video and the care you take holding these. 1850!!! Really important in the history of photography ❤️🖤

[@MattSuttonVA]

I screamed when in saw the glass negatives.

[@rosiebeardshaw658]

It's so heart rending, time passes, people die...no one seems to care that these people and places existed. There must be somone who owns the chateau?! Remember in one of the bedrooms, there's a photo of the white wild horses... fantastic! They've probably been around for years!! Wow, wild horses.

[@lizlekotze8268]

What an unbelievable beautiful castle. Just so sad that you get people who disrespect these beautiful places. Thank you for the video. Loved it.

[@marilynwargo6288]

This was a wonderful explore. Thank you much. Must have been a vibrant home to many families through centuries. The furnishings are still lovely, but the castle is decaying in weak spots despite it being so well made. The grounds are beautiful. The appearance of the white horses was perfect. Jess was delighted. They are cared for and may be ridden by their owner. Very well behaved and well groomed horses like those have people. France can still be magical. 💙🌸🌙🐌

[@annamcknight2573]

Beautiful. The horses are fine, they are just elderly, but well cared for. The embroidered chairs were very old - from the 1700s. The photos from the second half of the 19th century. I very much enjoyed this one. Thank you.

[@jimmyelliott7473]

Well it certainly would have been nice to know the history of this house and the generations of family that thrived and lived there. could you imagine how much it would cost just to pay the hired help let alone the maintenance on the house. slavery was abolished in 1848 in France so from that point on they would have had to pay the hired help. I'm sure some very influential family lived there over the years. where did they go

[@amywilmarth8141]

I have to say that I love and appreciate that you both take the time to do a small gesture like putting things back where they belong. Reset a framed photo on a table. I for one appreciate it tremendously. The horses were such an amazing ending to an amazing explore. Thank you guys🕉

[@fetitadepeterra5319]

Yeah, those things do NOT belong there, but in the house of someone who actually respects history! Those unthankful bastards who inherited that place deserve to be left without it and everything in it. It's disgusting to see how history is left to die

[@pamelascott3383]

Watching these abandoned majestic structures on YT, we always wonder what happened to inhabitants and/or why family members seemingly forgot about their existence. My assumption is that these huge chateaus/mansions from the past are just too costly to keep up today. Very likely in need of repairs when last person(s) left. Still very sad!

[@annaassk7138]

But why leave behind the museum pieces to rot,go mouldy why not save if cant building cost wise too much, oh its sad sèe antiquities left rot &why vandals have to destroy art,incredible place though colours choices make it rooms darked back in time trend but whats wrong with govt.s&towns allow be damaged when tourist would love nothing better than have opportune go back in time.

[@cypher7648]

Probably exactly why. Such an incredible place 🙏👌❤

[@webb-cat7397]

I'm surprised there is so many abandoned places but why hasn't council or someone took possession of them or someone just squared there

[@susietunisie]

Very interesting structure...and lots of the old tech still evident. Plenty of fleur de lys on the "fireplaces" also interesting...Intrigued as to the water source running hereunder/around the property. Someone knows what happened to the people who occupied this building, I'm sure, and all those children in the photos...many, and their offspring, must still be alive. And those lovely old horses, wow!! But someone must be attending to them, maintaining their feet if nothing else. Thanks guys xxx

[@pamelascott3383]

@@annaassk7138 Yes that is baffling but some people who live comfortably on their own existence may not see the need or the importance to save such relished treasures. Others may feel they just do not have the time. Here in the states, a neighbor on the street passed and lived in three bedroom. The daughter lives in California (I'm in Tennessee), left that home and its contents to rot after her mom passed...vines coming in, roof leaked and bugs galore. But there was so much beautiful things. I finally asked her if they were ever going to get some of their antiques out and she said she did not have the time or the need to save that stuff and told me to get whatever I wanted and I did! The city eventually tore the home down.

[@janetjackson8574]

What a magical place and the ending with the 2 white horses finished the video off perfectly!! Thanks Sam and Jess for sharing your adventures with us keep up the good work ❤ xx

[@chateaudelamotte9527]

Maybe the singer Janet??

[@nannyofmany8315]

Accompanied by the most beautiful music Sam n Jess. Who does the editing? Kudos to you both. That certainly was a magical fairytale castle. Loved every second. Did my usual of turning chat off and watching on full screen. No distractions. You guys are really talented! Much love as always - Nanny 🤗💜🥰😁

[@Urbex_key]

Cool video and a very exciting place. You inspire me to make videos aswell :). Stay safe ✌🏼

Sam and Jess, I proclaim you Urbex royalty. Your explores just get better and better, this one - outstanding. Good to see Steve Ronin again, he seems to pop up everywhere.

[@ninastapleton803]

Also, it's just so sad they left all those photos. I could never leave my family history behind. I'd take the pictures before the paintings

[@kimberlybates6261]

Someone is taking care of those horses. They have no fear of people. Wild horse will let you know real quick. They are beautiful.

[@morgannlefay13]

Wow, this is truly a magical and magnificent place. This is one of those places ya hate to see roting away. Was horrible to see that people were/are leaving their excrement in the places they did/were, it's so very disturbing. Hell at least go dig hole in the trees and go if ya can't hold it. The rooms are so beautiful, the rooms tucked away upstairs would be wonderful if fixed up. The views are extraordinary from these rooms. If I could would love to just walk in there with the bats, walk them out. Love the kitchen, would be wonderful to have it fixed and usable. The stove was awesome. And all the space to store ones canning. Those jars that are there are to old by todays standards for food canning but properly cleaned out, could still use to store dry herbs, spices and many other things. The horses you found at the end were beautiful and so gentle. Thank you Jess for petting them.😊🥰😊. Would love to have that green house attached to my house.

[@davedavis9698]

Just recently started watching and for sure not disappointed. I think what really makes me like Sam and Jess is how so respectful they are of the house they go in. Looking forward to catching up on other episodes. Great work guys.

[@selinasteve]

This actually made me tear up . The historical films and generations of history wasting away is heartbreaking. What a loss. If only there was a way to at the very least report the home to a local historical society in a hope of saving a portion of this. You guys are soo talented and I love your videos, but please 🙏 wear a mask 😷

[@PennyRose268]

Oh my those photos and big Negatives need to be preserved for history how is it possible they were left behind can they be given to the museum or Art gallery somehow. The Archives it's got to be saved I am blown away at this how incredible experience but sad to see so much historical and valuable stuff decaying. I wonder why people leave and not take there photos that's the first thing I would gather and take.

[@RhiannonsAdventuresInHistory]

beautiful explore! I love the way you take your time with the objects as well. The photos in the album at around 32 minutes in, look like Cabinet Cards (the older ones) - which became popular in the 1880s, but the method was still used up until around 1920. From the style of dress, most of those photos are from the 1800s. It does break my heart to see the abandoned /forgotten photos. Those are memories that will be lost one day forever. That stash of glass negatives I gasped - those are very rare to survive. Why do the families not at least rescue them?

[@B0FF01]

OMG, I hope it's okay if I point out things I see, like the beautiful orb when Jess is playing the piano. Start watching at 18:21, on the left side of the screen above the piano, it floats above moving from right to left.

[@ASilverLining60]

That was dust hitting the light just right and the mirror within the camera picks it up.

[@jethrojackson2524]

There aint no orbs

[@amybannister4021]

This has got to be one of your best explores ever. Wonder what happened to the family. Beautiful mare and stallion. Flies drink the moisture out of their eyes and can cause all sort of problems, hence I put a fly veil on my horse. The stallion could just be old, theres heaps of feed for them. They both are in good condition for brumbies. They are obviously used to people. What a special ending to your explore. Stay safe xx

[@Samandjessexplore]

Wow so glad you enjoyed it Amy 🥰🥰 Damn, they sure need a veil too 😥 Very glad they’re likely taken care of though. Thank you for the info! Great to have you watching ❤️

[@amybannister4021]

@@Samandjessexplore No worries. Thank you for your reply. I would say tey are some what taken care of as they seemed very tame. You wouldnt get near a brumby. Take care and stay safe xx

[@rosalalie6417]

Those glass photos are awesome. They have to be saved. I can't take it.. I want to go with you guys.. I did go in one abandoned mansion. It was amazing.. we looked at mostly everything. We locked up the windows and locked the front door then since the kitchen was so destroyed we were pushing stuff till I got out no one goes inside. Since they are people living on both sides of the mansion.

[@anamaria2053]

Beautiful estate. It’s so sad that they’ve abandoned their family treasures, especially the portraits. But leaving the horses is just plain cruel. Horses love and rely on their owners. I hope you reported this so someone will take care of them.

[@megang1712]

I’m pretty heartbroken about the horses too. So heartless, I hope they get help soon.

[@nancysfancys]

I totally agree about the horses.

[@Trainasaurus]

Yes, the horses are starving and in need of vet care.

[@pixiniarts]

Incredible place! What an explore! The old photos in the album were earlier probably 1880 to 1900, glass negatives used to be in cameras loaded into a wooden carrier with metal plates called 'dark slides' they weren't at first as sensative as modren film so the exposure times on early glass negatives were very long. Loved this one! Stay safe out there!

[@ingridsywak8572]

Imagine that house brand new and people going to stay there for the first time!

[@mammakaz8635]

If you look at the footage when jess plays the piano, an orb floats past on the left hand side of the screen, spooky 👻

[@Samandjessexplore]

Spooky stuff!!! Had some weird stuff filming Karls video too! What a place

[@boombayuna536]

what a fantastic castle! i recognized it and i'm quite sad that it looks like this now. because i already saw it in another explorer video back from 2019 and it used to be way more tidy. now there are a lot of paintings and furniture missing and it has been trashed during the last 3 years like people have been sleeping/partying there :( by the way 31:55 those photos probably are from around 1900 at least the first ones.

[@juliakneecegregg3825]

Part of the problem is the taxes in France .Income tax is outrages and upkeep is so hard on the owners

[@fetitadepeterra5319]

​@@juliakneecegregg3825part of the problem is that the owners are ungrateful idiots who were too lazy to even take their family photos. That's disgusting and they have absolutely no excuse for leaving all of those things behind.

[@annemiekereffeltrath]

Beautiful editing to begin with, what a truly Fairytale castle. All the gorgeous details, the antiques, are absolutely mind-blowing! My Dear Sam&Jess, Thank you for sharing this Epic exploration. I sometimes feel sad seeing this castle 🏰 abandoned, and alone. If I had the money 💰, I would buy it for 100%. I really enjoyed this experience so much. Thanks again, and have a lovely Tuesday together. As always Love&Respect:Anne&Harry from Amsterdam. 🖐🐾🐾❤❤❤❤🙏❤❤❤❤😘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘✌

[@kelleycolvin5632]

What an amazing place. It is such a shame that some of rooms were trashed and then things getting thrown all over the place. Just a beautiful place. Such a great video and thanks for sharing.

[@cindyreynolds4045]

Y’all always do such a wonderful job! What a beautiful place. Great job as usual! I was thinking as you guys were going through the photograph book “what a shame that people would pack up paintings and not take their family photos with them. I understand not being able to keep a Chateau or having a place to store the furniture even… but the photos… makes me wonder if I’m wasting my time taking photographs. Y’all take care Cheers from Sugarland Texas 🇺🇸

[@Samandjessexplore]

Photographs are always lovely to look back at in my opinion! It’s very sad no one is there to claim these 🥺 So many possibilities though. Pleasure to have you watching, all the best 🙏🏼

[@judymccoy6688]

I feel the same. Why would people leave the current photos? Maybe they didn't know who the older photos were but the baby pictures? They don't take up much space.

[@YtGad7000]

I love the way you guys interact with each other, you really seem to be meant together! Finding out you went to school together was so nice. God bless you both. The Chateaux was amazing, l can imagine fine ladies and gents dressed in their finery through the ages, with loads of servants busseling about looking after the huge family. Am guessing there must have been beautiful stables back in the day. Those gorgeous white horses were a great way to finish the explore. Also that greenhouse must have been beautiful in it's day.

[@hahomy]

Can't wait to see this one guys looks like another banger, have a safe trip in Portugal look forward to u doing a live take care and hopefully see u in the premier later xx , 👍💖🤘

[@judymccoy6688]

What is so amazing to me is that antique dealers haven't taken any of the items from these homes to sell. I imagine they could make a lot of money. China and glassware seem to be in excellent condition.

[@mykelsalter7941]

hey Sam & Jess, just a side note for you, at around the 40 minute mark you showed some glass slides. They are glass plates which is how the photos were recorded (like our negatives today) glass slides fell out back in the 1920's (well here in Australia) but they are rare as and some can hold some very valuable pics on them. Love seeing all the various videos you do. Thank you

[@maguffintop2596]

As an American I can’t fathom this. I recall going in an abandoned home -a 1956 ranch (ooohh) in Oakbrook IL. Family photos strewn from one end to the other. They had a daughter who looked like she had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Of course a cop walked in on me w/in 30 mins. He was nice though. Said the prop was going to be torn down for a mansion. And it was. Sometimes I wonder if abandon places had evil things happen and God said - ok- enough.

[@RuthannLentz]

I love seeing these but please give me an employer who knows something about history, architecture and the actual function of the rooms, furniture and items. It’s super frustrating to have dialogue of people who know nothing about the properties, the times and people who lived in these places. ❤

[@emelle9705]

This house was built in 1863 on top of a much older house. There are rumors of underground passages beneath the house. This area was originally established way back in 959, but this property was most recently owned by the du Croc family.

[@faeryvixenetc]

Hi kids! Just for education's sake, the glass plate negatives would have been from the 1850s to the 1920s... the other photo album that you said was 20.s or 30.s was also the late 1800s. I really love watching, but I realize as I watch, how much information is lost as the generations progress... The things you try to figure out as you walk through and see artifacts, always make me want to educate. 💖🦊
