Josh no one captures the essence of a historic chateau like you do. The drone footage, the still life photo captures. Beautiful old chateau. Incredible find. Loved the library area. Oh to be able to restore this.

[@ExploringWithJosh]

Thank you !!

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

Agreed

[@zachbaynard4458]

@@ExploringWithJosh hi mate

[@Mmcg4782]

You are much more chill than you were 3 or 4 years ago and I appreciate it. Really great content and awesome vibe. Thank you for your great work 👍

[@ocallaghanemily]

I'm so glad that the locals are coming together to preserve it. What a place honestly I don't know how that couple could just let something that beautiful just sit there untouched. Love having the exploring videos back for a while. Don't get me wrong love beyond the dark too but there's just something about documenting the unheard/unknown history of places is magical

[@ExploringWithJosh]

I love doing both but it's places like this on why I keep doing abandoned!

[@benjaminfranklin6043]

[@dominicbustamante730]

France should restore and maintain that house and convert it into a museum, because it is a part of their country's history. They should declare that place as a national historical landmark.

[@TinoT84]

Why

[@FloppyCripple]

I can almost guarantee that Indonesian couple would make that very hard. It's incomprehensible but some people buy things just to keep others from getting it. I would love to be wrong however.

[@emmamcdonald3410]

grow up

[@dominicbustamante730]

Then they could charge admission or take donations to maintain the place and also create jobs for people.

[@fionamelgaard]

they would have to do that to most buildings and places then ahahaha

[@Eeveeleafz]

Hey Josh! If you’re curious I translated that graffiti in the area with the small grandfather clock, and “on vous voit a bon” translates to “we see you well” which gave me creepy vibes

[@ritudasgupta4093]

The curved door, the stained glass window in the church, the library!!!!😍😍 I'm absolutely mesmerized by this place. This chateau is magical in every detail

[@mantailuaa]

So sad that the owner is not interested to take care of the place, it is just stunning even in its rough shape. Loving all the wallpapers ❤

[@SteveO760]

It reminds me of WW2 movies. The soldiers always seek shelter in some abandoned french chateau.

[@wutlillyy]

Josh you make the most authentic videos on KZbin, your one of the only exploring KZbinrs that I’ve been steady watching for 9 years ☝🏼

[@ExploringWithJosh]

Thank you so much

[@wutlillyy]

@@ExploringWithJosh appreciate you dude 😊 you got me thru most of my life with these vids. Keep it up man 💯

[@fayecox9401]

What a beautiful castle must have so many stories it could tell if wall could talk ,it definatly needs to be saved from going to ruin well done josh great find

[@SneakyNinja24]

This is the esthetic I LIVE for! The architecture. The designing. It’s all stunning. If I could build a dream home, this would be almost identical.

[@kellywanner7503]

I’m always so impressed at how much you respect every place you explore, and how peaceful, and intelligent you speak. Keep up the outstanding work sir. 😊

[@cynthiahollars2784]

As always, such great coverage of an era before our time. So fun to imagine the people who lived here and what their daily life would of been like. Great video Josh!!!

[@berniceisreal]

Loved how you said: the potssss, the pansss are on the waahhls! And thanks again for this amaaaazing video. Love from the Netherlands.

[@dawnsweeney4820]

It's sad that people go there and write graffiti in the building ots a shame they don't know how to respect such beautiful places

[@Iwillspeakup]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw that library. I could spend months there reading the books, especially the ones on the top shelves. They look very old. I would love to start in that château!! You're living out my dream.

[@valkyreve]

So honoured to be shown these amazing old buildings, yet incredibly saddened at the same time to see them neglected. TY

[@AWE83]

Documentary well bro.. and an amazing edit

[@limaso306]

Absolutely stunning place! Thank you for taking us with you. No one does exploring quite like you do. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@retrotomato]

If I had the money I’d buy that place! The fly overs looked beautiful 😍

[@sarahschouveller1993]

Wow Josh this was so beautiful. I'll never get tired of videos like this. The hidden chapel room was the best. And normally I don't like when people vandalize these beautiful places but the juxtaposition of the new graffiti above the great stairs and everything around it being old. So cool!

[@dawnsweeney4820]

Just the fact that a titanic passenger owned this place an walked around there is kinda cool

[@plokoon1912]

This was fantastic, I am pretty sure I found the Titanic passenger who bought this building. It was Mr. Engelhart Cornelius Østby He co-owned østby & barton

[@LFMusic1997]

Hey Josh I wanted to jump in the comment section and say hello I’m Lauren 27 from Scotland and I just came across your channel while trying to find a good video of abandoned historical buildings and amusement parks. I’m so grateful I found you as I have seen from the outside some of the places you r explored and it was amazing to see what they looked like inside. I loved this video and it makes me sad that people did graphite on the walls it’s such a gorgeous and historical building how could anyone disrespect it like that. Thank you for sharing and you got a new follower over here xx loving your videos so far and this place gave me Hogwarts meets beauty and the beast feelings and with it being in France I feel like it had a lot of inspiration from beauty and the beast xxx

[@TraceyBoyko]

This is stunning! The whole time I watched it I kept imagining the ppl that may have lived here. My heart breaks tho that the ppl are gone but their home is still here.

[@wordwordword101]

Tjhis is hands down the most breathtaking chateau I have ever seen. I'm in awe. Josh, You must have been glowing entering this location.

[@nic2535]

Wow! Breathtaking! I would love to see this chateau in real life, thanku for this josh, its amazing!

[@maksgaminghd2870]

This place has been empty since 1912. Its like you gone back in time to view this building. Its really great that this survived being untouched up to now, it even survived two world wars which is incredible. Beautiful place.

[@jmgonzales7701]

it also gives u a look to what they were doing before they died.

[@sabiwoe]

Omg!!!! I am shocked!😂 this is really mindblowing!! AMAZING!! Love love love the video and the castle

[@vickirn613]

Omg, every piece of furniture and upholstery, book, dishes, utensils, window…i just can’t🤯 so beautiful, how can someone abandon such treasures!

[@rebeccacorby9738]

Absolutely stunning building 😍 hoping one day it’s gets the love and care it rightly deserves Thanks you josh stay safe ❤

[@lianet_h]

It’s so beautiful! ✨ Love all you create Josh, been watching since I was 15, I’m 23 now 🤩

[@shannonmenendez3327]

Same (16 and going 24 in November) 😊

[@Angyal_Angyal]

Hey Josh, I already love this before watching the entire vid. Some terms for ya: • ARCHWAY - 4:07, Where you said "Walking through the tower". It's called an archway. • FOYER - 5:15, A foyer is an entryway, not lobby. • CABINET - 5:45, I would love to have that. It's gorgeous. • CHAPEL - 9:38, It was a common practice for nobles to have a chapel and possibly a confessional in their castles, chateaus. • CHINA - 10:4, China, not glass plates. • CHINA CABINET - 11:25, A large china cabinet was important to house their china, pottery, stemware, silverware, ect. • MEAT CLEAVER - 12:55, A meat clever was necessary for cutting through meat bones and joints. • BOOK CABINETS - 14:43, The lattice work on those cabinet doors would be hell to dust. • MANNEQUIN - 22:05, Mannequin or dress form is correct. • MOLD - 24:18, Black mold - WEAR A MASK!! Any mold spores that are disturbed can easily lodge in your lungs and make you sick. When I had mold growing in my pantry, from a water leak, they taped everything off with plastic sheeting and came in with hazmat gear. Seriously! Wear a mask!! • WARDROBE - 24:10, I love wardrobes. • WALLPAPER - 25:23, This type of wallpaper is called Toile. • STRAWBERRIES - 27:00, Flowers, not strawberries. Stay safe and take care. 😇

Love how you tell about the abandoned places you go to. It is too sad that places you go to are just left to rote away. Beautiful scenery Josh and friends. Love your videos and content Josh.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MadsCbabyavo]

It’s just amazingly mind-boggling how things are left this way and it makes you wonder the endless stories and possibilities of how and why. I truly wish we had footage of life and time being spent in these early on moments before cameras.

[@deannathompson4277]

This is the most beautiful well kept abandoned place I’ve ever seen🥹I’m happy no one vandalized it too bad bc this place is a fairy tale 🤍

[@Brandy215]

The ceiling in what I assume is the chapel is breathtaking. What a shame it's just rotting. It's good the locals are trying to save it. Great video!

[@jodylee8821]

So beautiful ' what a beautiful house castle!! Thanks for sharing this video with us all. Really neat

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

This is what you do best Josh...finding amazing abandoned locations and bringing them to us...... This is your true jam. You seem to have a great love and appreciation for the beautiful things of the past and abandoned. This is something uniquely you and in my opinion...your best gift. Never stop living that dream. This was amazing. Thanlyou. 🖤💙🐈‍⬛

It feels like it can be a whole movie set! I know what I’m basing my next story on too

[@V1perX0X0]

I remember getting my first ever (and last) furby it actually stopped working like two months ago

Josh this place is amazing, I must admit watching this vid just left me in awe!

[@true_explores]

Wow what an amazing spot! Awesome find

[@BadSamaJama]

Gorgeous... love the curved walls, windows, the wooden furniture, books, trunks, machines, railings then everything single other object and aspect of the chateau!! Growing up, my grandma Kay found and scored my Furby for my Christmas present, loved the hex/octagon packaging! Also, growing up, I loved making the foot pedal go as fast as possible on the antique Singer my Mammaw had... and I have always been obsessed with (and want to own my own)this antique study my Grandma Martie has!

[@LuisMendoza-pz9yo]

It just amazed me to think that at one point somebody use to live their I could just imagine all the memories that mansion is holding

[@dawna2017]

This was sick. Totally Bridgerton. What an amazing explore. Thanks for sharing Josh!

[@DahliaofDreamlight]

Absolutely amazing explore! Definitely earned a new subscriber. I love that you take it seriously enough to explore the history without disturbing or vandalizing anything. When the house was built the family likely was of high enough standing to have a live in priest. They were possibly very devout in their faith given all of the religious symbols throughout the home. The chapel would have been big enough to hold most of the house's occupants including servants in the back of the room and along the floor. Considering the size of the house itself it's very probable that there were quite a few house servants and grounds servants; on top of the actual family of the house. It would have been a very large household overall. Very busy and bustling I would imagine! The mannequin in the library is called a Dress Form! :D

[@karenfountain1352]

Josh this place is so beautiful, I bet it was stunning back in it's day, it so sad it's just left, and boy that furniture the detail that goes into it is outstanding,keep up great work 👍 👏👏😘🇬🇧

Cool exploring josh beautiful place you rang the bell man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hope your good look forward to seeing next video all the best seth 🇬🇧✌️

[@amndveile]

Back when the original part of this house is built, it was not uncommon for the family to have a chapel on the grounds or in the house. I follow a château that somebody is restoring and living in, and they have a chapel on the ground.

[@vintiago]

These exploration videos that you have done are amazing. I would assume they’d have a small private chapel there given the fact that it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I loved the furniture and the library. I much prefer these types of videos versus the supposedly haunted places you’ve done. I admired the way you featured the beauty of the buildings.

[@Kim-J312]

I've watched many of these yt channel shows regarding these beautiful places left to rot , black mold , and collapsing ceiling crushing beautiful furniture, artwork and pictures. And the vandalism 💔. It's too the point where the remaining family should be given 5-6yrs to reclaim it, fix it OR ALL goes to county of existence. And the country should take responsibility, and it all ends up as an estate sale to the public ( yard sale ) , then those beautiful furniture, glass, chandeliers can be purchased. Enuff of sad tours w sad music of these beautiful historic thing rotting away 💔 😢 . I've watched 100s rot away at some point they will be turned to dust if this continues.

[@MockMessMonster]

Gorgeous home! I love hearing about the history of the owners. It's a shame that the current owners don't take care of it.
