Exploring a $10,000,000 ABANDONED Mansion with EVERYTHING Left | Luxury Items Still Inside

In todays episode we are revisiting a marvelous mansion that was abandoned by a Swiss family in 2016. The man that lived here owned a large zinc company in China that failed when the city experienced a bad blackout. He then sold his company and lived in the mansion with his family until he passed away.

Your videos are so refreshing to watch. No cussing or potty mouthing. Just plain talking. You don't realize how much I appreciate that. You can express yourself without being vulgar. Love your videos. ❤❤❤ I'm watching from Missouri USA

[@claytondoty8241]

That's the Main biggest reason I love him, language is so unnecessary and gets old he's clean and pg I love it

[@AngelaWNC2]

I agree, I quit watching alot of explorers because of all the unnecessary cussing. I really like this guy and his clean mouth.

[@jborden18]

I 💯 agree!! It's childish and to some degree disrespectful. We're all adults here, there's no need to behave that way

[@chad4208]

you stopped watching someone because of an invented language concept that offends you only because you were told to be offended? Hahahahaha

[@chad4208]

@@jborden18 yea, your adults, so quit crying because youre brainwashed into finding certain words bad without reason

[@mapatterson173]

I love your quiet enthusiasm, reverence, and respect for memories these homes hold. And the fact that it seemed that every other bedroom was your favorite is adorable. (I’m a granny, so don’t take offense.) And I can imagine a crackling fire in the fireplace, sitting and reading by one of the windows overlooking the garden, and listening to the rain. Pure bliss.

[@johnkemper1130]

How nice you are,. I feel this crew is also like you describe.

[@heidi6607]

The little thing you called a washer is actually a dryspinner. Called a centrifuge . You put your wet laundry in it and turn it on. When it is finished you can take it out and hang it out to dry. This was very common in Europe in the last century, before they build it in the washingmachines. My granny had one and we had one when I was younger

[@Bella-gj6wc]

My mum had it as part of her washing machine. She’d wash the clothes, then spin them, then into a galvanized tub to rinse, then back in the spinner, then into rinse water, then into spinner, then out to the line. I wash mine and hang them out pretty muck year around. I love doing laundry for that reason. Wash them, hang them all out together. Fold them as you take them off the line, put them away, and done!!

[@Bella-gj6wc]

Does anyone but me think it’s weird people just walk away from these places? Who’s still paying taxes, and why would you if you don’t plan on ever coming back? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@aintnothingliketheoldskool]

​​@@Bella-gj6wcmaybe you should know the full story before you just assume things about these people and be judgemental you don't know what happened in order for them just to leave.

[@mariadelcarmenrodriguez8474]

Watching from Spain!love your style. The beautiful white and blue paper on the wall of your favourite room is very famous fabric in France, called “Toile de Jouy” dated in 1760. ( Whether its pastoral prints on window valances or a test garment in a fashion house, toile can be many things in the fashion and design industry. Toile gained popularity as a printed French fabric in the late eighteenth century, and the classic aesthetic remains popular today.)

[@sassysue6472]

I do have a smaller version of the painting. The desk in the one bedroom is a secretary. Back in the day when people actually wrote letters stationary, envelopes pens and things like that were kept in there. The front pulled down and served as a place to write. What a beautiful place. So sad it wasn’t sold. I’m watching from Michigan-and I always wanted to visit France. Thanks for the opportunity!

I'm watching from USA...it's incredible to watch all these houses you find to show us from these other countries...it baffles me why they just leave, leaving memories behind, and not even sell it

[@ElevateTheProcess]

Thank you for making these videos. Absolutely one of my favorite homes you have explored. The property, home and furniture have rich history and character. RIP kitty 🙏🏻💕

Watching from USA-NYS. Love the red. R[m.

[@pattishumateanderson4633]

I live in Alabama, USA. I have two points that you might enjoy. The wallpaper that you focused is called toile and is pronounced twall. It is of French origin from the 1800s. The bench with the gold velvet cushion with the wood table attachment is a gossip bench. When people first got telephones in their homes it was truly a big deal and thus the gossip bench was invented. The phone sat on the wooden part and people relaxed on the bench and chatted away.😅

[@rachelmartinez3798]

I enjoy seeing all the homes you show there all so awesome I still can't understand how people can just get up and leave homes with belongings behind

[@tinag8601]

[@joshchakshu]

The times the family might have lived, the laughs they enjoyed, the tears they shed, the dreams they had..... Makes me wonder what made those families abandon such huge beautiful homes completely... You are doing a tremendous job of bringing these places to us... Watching all the way from Kerala, S.India...

I am so relieved to hear I'm not the only person terrified of spiders but in love with beautiful old places. That is honestly the entire reason why I don't go to places like this myself.

As big and beautiful as this house is on the outside it is cramped and claustrophobic on the inside. These French floor plans are maze like with stuff (water heaters, cabinets) crammed in them. I love the doors especially the red one which seems oddly placed. Great tour, thanks!❤

I would love to be exploring abandoned places but I have a little one so until then I’m enjoying your videos from America. I just can’t understand how people can walk away from such beautiful places and never return or their families do something with these properties. I guess that’s what makes it so intriguing.

@@martinurbina5570 Malcolm, I am loving the honesty and vulnerability from you. I feel like the world we live in today has changed so much from the old abandoned places Bankz shows us and the lives ppl lived back then, we live in a society that 'tells' us to be a certain way and project money and selfish obnoxious attitude as a way of comin up in the world. Yet I feel like being vulnerable and humble and accepting what we have is enough. I hope you are doing well and feeling better about everything!?

Thanks for the content I've been watching everything I can I love that you're respectful of every property you check out. I used to be afraid of spiders actually all bugs grossed me out then I started to learn about tarantulas and other spiders and eventually I got one as a pet now I have two! Learning about them and observing them helped me overcome my fear. I keep reptiles nowadays and still have my two tarantulas and I even breed my own feeders. I hope someday you're also able to overcome that fear ❤

I actually follow all you guys, funny enough just because I'm an abandonophile (like prolly the majority of the lot of us watching haha) and it's strangely lovely and heartwarming to see you all exploring and documenting together, speaking in hushed tones with respect for these places and a real friend/collegue/trust vibe. It makes me feel like there's a community out there, of like minded peeps that I could maybe explore with one day. I appreciate it! I'm from Canada, btw - Vancouver Island BC. There's some abandoned stuff here, but nothing like Europe and Japan. I go to Japan lots (I speak the language) and I dream about exploring some haikyo there .. I'm just a little shy and nervous about trying to find some people to do it with, who appreciate it with the same love of ”もののあわ” (mono no aware) that I feel. :))

Hi Big Bankz, the place looks like they were trying to renovate, the hallways, the stairs, the bedrooms, a lot of them were started. They have so many different rooms, that basically do the same thing, Grand salons, morning salons, breakfast salons, petit salons. so sometimes it is hard to figure out what a room was for. I was a great explore, thanks for showing it again. Love from N.Y.

The strange bars on the wall of the bathroom (14:38) is a also a dryer, haha. You pull it out of the rack and you’ll get about 5 or 6 bars where you can hang up you wet towels and such :) Many greetings from Germany

I'm a child of the 60s 70s and exploring wasn't something I knew anything about. I lived in a rural farming area. There were many abandoned homes in the area I lived in. I would ride my bike all over and go in them and just imagine the family life that went on in the houses. My mom still lives in the area where I grew up but none of the houses that were abandoned when I was a kid are there anymore. I love watching your videos; they bring back memories of things I did as a kid. I lived in Northern Indiana as a child but am in the southern part of the state now.
