The first room you entered was what is called a long gallery. The walls would have been lined with portraits. It would also have been a reception room for the guests. The main kitchen in the 1800s would have been in the basement. The family probably turned another room into a small kitchen for the modern day family. You will probably find most of the valuable antiques were sold to pay nursing home fees. So sad to see a lovely building rot like this.

That long room at the front of the house was probably used as an enclosed porch with out door style furniture where they could enjoy the fresh air coming through the open windows.It's sad that it's falling apart like that and caught fire when it did.Everytime I hear of someone loosing their home to fire it makes me feel so sad for the family that lived there.Thanks for sharing this once beautiful place for all to see.I love how respectful you are with these places, you are a very wonderful caring person.Hope you are all still having fun here in America and as always, we love you too guys.

Heyy dear Lesley, I am always so amazed, how often you were able to find so fascinating locations in France. Also this mansion had a few wonderful rooms with still some pieces of very nice and antique furniture from probably the end of the 19th century. I agree to you, that the craftmanship on some of the cabinets is indeed very beautiful to see. Your experience of already eight years exploring shows off every time you upload a new video! - One of your outstanding talents after my opinion is the way, how you are giving somehow a new life with your comment to this for a long time abandoned mansion only through your very sensitive approach to the imagineable life of the former owners of that location. I am every time, when watching your videos, amazed and deeply touched again. - And - I love so much seeing you sometimes so excited and emotionally moved, when you are finding something remarkable! Wishing you all the best, dear bro, - and I am already looking very much forward to your next Urbex adventure! - God bless you all! Wishing you still a very successful continuation of your grand trip in the USA. - Stay safe, much love, peace and kindest regards.

The thing you always call "crown molding", mostly around chandeliers, is actually a "ceiling rose"... Crown molding is decorative piece along the edges of the ceiling...

The "Disco Baby" list in the bar is not a price list. It’s a track list of a music album by American artist Van McCoy, released in 1975. The numbers are not prices but the length of the songs in minutes and seconds. This also relates to the dj booth in the other room.

Hi Lesley, sad there was a fire, but for the remaining rooms there is some nice furniture, & glasses! Beautiful carved cabinets...that should be saved before roof or floors collapse! Wow, just think that castle stood alone before other homes were built across the street & a road in front! Love the hidden door that matches the wallpaper walls. How strange that pink bathroom is bigger than the kitchen! But love the gold curved plate over the toilet paper! Maybe the clown shoes were house slippers? I love the basement with bar & DJ area for maybe dancing, & the door for the car to park inside! Wow, that`s a lot of wood for the fireplaces & yes I saw the Bat fly by your camera! That`s a old bicycle , a woman`s bicycle! So many rooms in the basement, but yet the 2 rooms with all the wood was not touched by the fire! Wow, lots of bedrooms upstairs, & the attic not much to see! Thanks so much Lesley, for this adventure...it was great to see all the things that is still there & for you to explain in detail of everything!! Love you, stay safe from Illinois USA

His passion is what keeps me coming back to these videos. That and I myself am so passionate about history...what I would give to be in that castle. Only time and not space would separate me from the castles once bustling corridors and the, no doubt, interesting people that once inhabited it. It is a rather bittersweet thought. I find bittersweet to be a common theme when talking about historical building especially. I am so thankful that the creators of this video decided to bring this masterpeice back to life one more time, almost as if to give it the proper goodbye it deserves, one of appreciation and pride. These videos are quite addicting for the one such as myself who loves history and appreciates how truly magnificent these castles used to be.

Read my entry. I too left some of my family history. It is wonderful having that history. I come from Sir Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick and Penelope Deveraux, the Queen's neice.. The Earl physically abused his wife and was quite an unpleasant man. But if you hit royal family lines so much is written down which makes it easy to find. This family built the Mayflower and brought the Pilgrims over from Holland. He was given a charter by the king to settle anywhere in the new country. He later settled the town of Warwick, Ma. My mother had the family name - Rich
