HUGE Abandoned Castle of Dreams in Germany - Used in WW2

[@michellelindsay5727]

Exquisite ballroom and thankfully the piano is gone. The chandelier is breathtaking! Thought provoking to think about WWII; we MUST never allow dictators to rule and harm individuals. Thank you for exploring the entire property and the inside castle. You’re the best explorers! ❤️❤️🇺🇸

Just LOVE the fact that u have a father who is interested in what u do...u r blest and so is he😊

[@kellywilliams5112]

The painting style of the ballroom is called "Trompe l'oeil" (Fool the Eye).. a style of painting in which things are painted in a way that makes them look like real objects

[@Explomo]

It is such an interesting style of art. I adore it! :D

[@gloriahanes6490]

@@Explomo French style "trompe l'oeil" popular in all parts of Europe.

[@emegref]

Wow! What a beautiful painting. And the lights still working. So amazing! Thank you Maureno and Remon!

[@Explomo]

Was our deepest pleasure Doroja! Thank you for again leaving a nice comment and tuning in. All the best from the both of us :-)

[@blssdpoet]

This was so amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us! It's hard to comprehend how well made and how old this castle is, but it is so beautiful.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Such a beautiful and yet mystifying building. Those doorknobs! That ballroom! Even some of the intricate floors took my breath away! It was certainly put to many uses over the decades. Well done! You're very professional and I really appreciate that. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@susanprun5808]

I have never seen inside of any homes, mansions, or castles in Germany, All of your locations are fascinating. I would love to see more in Germany. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@pamelalaub6204]

The architecture and art work in the ballroom is incredible! The seating for the students looks very uncomfortable. The quality of workmanship from so long ago is amazing. It would have been interesting to see the dates on the fire extinguishers.

[@daniellarivera-juvera8865]

That paintings are majestic they remind me of corridors in Versailles. It is opulent and memorable… I love it.

[@b.jackson4072]

What an incredible location! The ballroom is stunning and in pretty amazing condition. (It could be used for special events like weddings, photo shoots etc.) Thanks for the great exploration!

[@fotonmom]

Dude! that doorknob at 7:16..wow! The trump loile paintings in the ballroom were mind blowing..all those columns and mirror over the fireplace and patterns for trim --to think someone painted that. Really fooled me. I thought the architecture was rampant in there. But just paint...wow.!!! And the oval cameos with the Greek gods in them...so unique for a German castle. And the plaster work wreaths and clusters on the walls--real craftsmanship. The little room with the table and chair...pretty disturbing. Best part of this? No water damage from the roof. Someone is taking good care..to make sure those beautiful arches will be there for many years. And yes ..explore empty buildings as long as the architecture is awesome!

[@teresanewby7289]

#Explomo:: I have been watching your tour in that beautiful German castle. It has fascinated me because it certainly reminds me of the high school that I attended here in the State of Indiana, USA.. the architecture of the buildings of the castle where you are exploring are very similar. The place was huge! I boarded at the school all four years of high school. The town is a lovely German names Oldenburg. It just feels coincidental. It's a lovely place. Thanks, Teresa, Indianapolis, In

[@TonyDeConcini]

Another incredible find and a great fun and revealing video of a great castle, etc. Brilliant. That ballroom - amazing. Reminds me of Sistine Chapel in Italy.

[@marilynevans368]

A fantastic job guys. I hope the government will spend the time to restore this castle. It is so beautiful. you did a beautiful job in exploring this castle. Thank you.

[@donettemiller7817]

Love the architecture & the ballroom, but most disturbing are the cells. To think some poor person or soldier was kept down there, makes you wonder if they got out alive. Thanks Mo, great job. 💜

Very welcome Donette, it was my deepest pleasure

The German bunker area was really creepy. So much space ! Loved the historical ramifications of this huge space with officers and soldiers. Voices being carried through the rooms and halls. Spooky!!

[@grandmacarla4258]

I'm so glad the other You tubers contacted you. What a fun experience for you and a fun explore for us. Even though it was empty and not terribly decayed, it was interesting in that it's history was so varied. Thank you for a great video!

[@barbsnyder3579]

Thia was a wonderful explore. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The ballroom was magnificent!!! I hope many people get to enjoy this expedition. I loved it!! Hope you have more like it. You are great at narrating.USA Barb

[@Rachma-yg4wm]

Again and again,i'm so amazed with people who made this magnificent architecture and still wonder why "they're"abandon,take me and make me curious with your another videos (good job you both)

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

unfortunately, a lot of these places end up abandoned because they simply cost too much money to maintain. it would basically take a billionare to restore and maintain them over a long term, and most people that are smart enough to have gathered that kind of wealth, are generally smart enough to just build something brand new rather than buying someone elses problems.

Hi Maurino!I wish u had recorded the explore with ur dad that would have been amazing & treasure u would have to pass down.I find it so scary to take a leap of faith & meet up with strangers.get in there car & & let them take u in this world today u just never know but im so happy it worked out.this was an amazing adventure & im glade u took us along.I love seeing surviving places from WW2 & 1.those were horrible events in history but its interesting to see & imagine what it was like.plus the type of people who lived in these places.thanks & thank u new friends :-)

[@lettiearanas2477]

This was huge. An amazing exploration. Another job well done explomo. I wonder why there were castles, mansions,villas,farm houses,barns,plantation houses and many more around the world explored by diff explorers like Your team. You will noticed also that many of these explored are located in very remote areas like in the forest, near the sea and mountains side and nowhere. Thinking that the world has so many homeless people while these abandoned properties are decaying and even demolished Because it became useless as time goes on.

[@Stig1982]

I love this. No grafitti or vandalism here, and a unique building! The ball rom was incredeble, also the basement!!

[@elizabethtorres6069]

🍃Unbelievably Manificent!🍃 MAX and Richard Zimmerman first worked for Steinway and Sons in New York City. They then started their own piano manufacturing company in 1884, in Germany a town called Leipzig. With an increase in business, another factory was open in 1904. By 1912 the company became one of Europe's largest piano manufacturing companies. This is a perfect example of a time Capsule..I literally was frozen, visually by it's beauty. The main spectacular 3 dimensional room with the murals, architectural designs and the craftsmanship of it all, BLEW MY MIND! 🤯

[@SRay-or3nc]

I am glad the castle had a new purpose after seemingly being a place to hold prisoners. Although sometimes students feel like they're in prison at school! Some of the paintings of people are Roman gods. I noticed Mercury with his hat and feet with small wings. I am happy for you that you got to have such a great unexpected adventure!

[@Explomo]

Awww thank you Sandy your comment is much appreciated :-) Am also glad that the castle got different purposes, but I sincerely hope that it will get a new purpose anywhere soon because it will be a shame to leave it to decay :(

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

@@Explomo unfortunately, as you said yourself in this video, the cost to fix and maintain it would be prohibitive. that's why these places generally become abandoned. when they were built, building materials were MUCH cheaper, and these buildings were created to house an entire family, not just a mother, father and their few children but aunts, uncles, grand mothers, etc all with their own children and siblings, all of which contributing to the maintenance and upkeep of the property. these days, families do not live like that, and the cost/labor for a conventional family to complete the same work is astronomical. there is also an incompatibility in the old building materials versus the new building materials. its hard to find solid granite building blocks for example these days as the world has moved on to using lighter, cheaper, but less durable concrete blocks. yeah it's a shame to see these places rotting, but the real crime is that all the items contained within will be destroyed along with the building, like the portugese viscount's house for example... probably at least a million euros worth of antique books on the shelves, full of knowledge that will likely be lost to time because unless someone "steals" them as you protest against constantly, they will be destroyed with the house. another thing to consider with european buildings of this type... most of them were occupied by the nazis during the war, they are the exact type of places nazi officers liked to take over and turn into testing labs, concentration camps and command posts, not to mention gathering places for nazi party political meetings and events. a lot of people in the world don't want anything to do with that history.

Fantastic! Great exploration. Love all the video especially the drone footage! Impressive bunker!

[@lawannarobinson9900]

A very interesting castle. I felt very strange once Maureno went down the lower level and was concerned that he was in that area alone. Just to see the jails sparked a spookey feeling. I was in elementary school in Washington, DC after World War II so some of the precautions and procedures we had to follow flashed a memory. The drills of quickly going under your school desk and tucking your head down close to the floor (not much protection), the streets lights going out around 7 pm and all houses had shutters or dark green or black shades at windows so that no inside light could be seen from the outside... I am glad you had the experience to tour the castle but I just could not picture a family living there.

[@willyegger4488]

Hi Maureno, Explomo, That was again an absolutely interesting location you could explore. - I found it so great, that you also did an explore with your Dad and after that this impressive castle-explore with the two German explorers. - The grand ballroom with these paintings, that makes them look like real objects, was surprising and fascinating. - I also liked your historical explanations with an old original photograph. Your walk through the basement rooms was somehow also quite special, and I hoped, that you will again find your way out. - But as I presume, these are the usual excitements and thrilling moments you are always having during urbex activities. - By the way, I just saw, that you now hit the magical number of 10000 subscribers. - Wow! That's really great, and I am also very happy for you. Many congrats from my side!! Greetings to Remon too. - Wishing you all the best and a lot more subscribers. - Peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.

Loved the ballroom the art work is brilliant it would be really sad if it was left to rot, also the architecture is wonderful in some of the place, hope there are people looking after it and they manage to get some of it used for something or part let it at least.
