INCREDIBLE Abandoned Château Untouched With EVERYTHING LEFT BEHIND

#abandonedplaces #urbex #abandonedmansion #abandonedhouse #abandonedplacesuk
Basking in the hot southern countryside of France, an imposing golden castle stands tall above the rolling green hills.
Not only steeped in history, it holds secrets that set it apart from the rest…
For over 900 years the same family has held this land, they first constructed here in 1133, and upon these original foundations was this grand chateau built in 1740.
You are greeted by a vast marble entrance hall with doorways leading off in every direction, as we look up, we can still see its hunting heritage, trophies from centuries of shooting parties peer down from the walls.
This was a popular hunting lodge for the rich, due to its location and vast size.
After the hunt the guests would be invited to the grand dinning hall for a feast.
The 18th century dinning table remains here to this day, along with some unusual decorations.
There would’ve often been magnificent parties and events, the family enjoyed entertaining friends, which leads us to the 18th century theatre, decorated in 1740’s style, complete with a golden sun. This is one of the only chateaux with this unique feature.
As we move through the dimly lit rooms, you begin to smell the library before you find it, home to many thousands of antique books, collected over its 280 years.
A total of 25 bedrooms and six bathrooms are spread across its 5 stories.
Each one decorated in a unique style.
Although one stands out from the rest, this exquisite 1800s wallpaper was specially created for this chamber, this one is so unique as it was once showcased at New Yorks Museum of Art before being returned here.
All of the paintings seen throughout were also specially commissioned to depict life at the chateau.
We venture up into the top levels of the house and into the attic, where we find the medicine room, and an office with more clues about the previous owners life.
Down beneath the castle, we move through subterranean passages leading to lofty vaulted rooms, still filled with resources.
Priced at 12 million some years ago but it’s perhaps not fit for modern day use and may sadly remain at risk for the foreseeable future,
Join us as we step inside and unravel all of its secrets.

Contact a local historian, this needs to be restored and turned into a museum, I, personally, would love to be able to see it in person, I’m sure I’m not alone on that. I’m just fascinated. That necklace that was on a plaque, looked like an artifact. I’m completely in awe! Literally my jaw has been on the floor since the beginning of this video! I can’t thank you enough for sharing ❤🙏

[@staceykersting705]

Can't remember the name of the show, But on BBC. An expert comes in to try and help the owners rescue the castles by renovating and renting them out as wedding venues, inns, etc. If the buildings are truly abandoned, it seems odd that the furnishings couldn't be removed and resold, perhaps by certified antique dealers. Not sure why this isn't done.

[@DeniseBrawn]

@@staceykersting705 I'm sure someone somewhere still actually OWNS it, even if they aren't living in it and the most personal belongings are gone. You can't just go in and take what isn't yours. There's a saying - take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.

[@staceykersting705]

@@DeniseBrawn LOL! My point is: these pieces should be preserved in museums where they could be kept in appropriate climate conditions. Why are u even THINKING of just taking them? Don't be barbaric!

[@DeniseBrawn]

@@staceykersting705 I'm ... not? I think you better read my comment again. I was trying to discourage it. Goodness! They absolutely should be preserved. The best bet would be to attempt to track down any remaining family members. If that can't be done, then sadly there's nothing to do for it but leave them there to decay.

[@comptonboodhoo6504]

I second that idea. This place must be saved and restored. Love the video.

[@dianemiller7994]

Nobody is living in this chateau, but it is being cared for. Hardly any cobwebs in most of the rooms or dust on the furniture. It is magnificent.

[@Crosshatch1212]

You are correct most if not all are sitting in an auction book if in this condition .the house was owned by someone and it’s not very often they have no family .And if they dnt have family they own the land .When you buy a house you never own the land .And this is the reason so the gov can come along and restore or demolish and rebuild .pre 1980 they wld just rot away.

[@brendafrench4042]

Those tiny secret doors you're finding in the bedrooms are for the maids to sneak in and make the bed without disturbing the whole room. Often those doors are not in the main hall and keeps servants from roaming through the main hallway. Also, those long ribbons on the wall are bell pulls to call the servents.

[@cynthialambert9067]

Exactly. It was so the servants could come and go without being seen.

[@TallulahBelle3276]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about these things. ✨

[@marybarger6096]

Hmmm, 2 years ago I purchased a 5 acre house with a tiny " room/ space" , under the steps, which goes to the other side, which at one time was a sunroom which we've turned into one hell of a nice bedroom. Did I mention the house was built in 1864. You can definitely see the add on's over the year. But I like to think, im bringing it back to a happier time and making it pretty again. Right, if your house is happy......

I was excited and very surprised watching this video. I saw this chateau for sale online not more then 2 years ago. They wanted over 15 million dollars for it. The sale pics were beautiful but they obviously only showed the rooms in good condition. I would never have guessed it was in such a state of decay. It will take millions to fully restore. I hope someone with deep pockets purchases the chateau and saves such an amazing treasure.

[@denisegandy1183]

That was amazing. I counted 29 bedrooms and 10 locked rooms, some of which could also be bedrooms. Having watch a few abandoned places now, it never ceases to amaze me about the amount of stuff leaf behind! Such a lot of waste of what was once nice and now antique! This video is one of the best I've seen. Thank you for showing it.

[@patriciaviscuso8298]

So much waste! We could feed, house and clothe the homeless!!

[@lynnebeauprelynnebeaupre1028]

Just so you know : the little plainer rooms adjoining the more decorated ones, with a little bed would be (originally) the lady's maid room or personnal valet room. The boxes hanging beside de fireplace: long matches box. The double headed eagle (on the big cabinet in the big hall) is the emblem of the Hapsburg dynasty. Maybe they were somehow related. Very cool video. Breaks my heart to see such a place going to waste.

[@jenniferholmes9039]

DOESN’T IT THOUGH! Someone should be living there.

[@1028dianemarie]

Was just going to add this comment. The château always had many bedrooms so that the owners could host nobles and the nobles would bring their ladies maids and Valets when visiting.

[@delwynmarkham8548]

What a shame that the place has not been lived in for so long. Surely it could be used like as a B&B.

[@kathleengillespie5983]

[@maelstrom2594]

Not sure if it registered with you guys but that one newspaper you were looking at dated August 1939 would have been printed right before the outbreak of WW2. This chateau was truly phenomenal, it amazes me how there can be so many treasures that span such a long period of history and so many of them looked like they could have been a part of someone's daily life. I really wonder about the decline of the place before the abandonment. Great video.

[@ASilverLining60]

I've been watching your videos sort of backwards and I have to say, out of the 7-8 urban explorers I've watched consistently, I've enjoyed yours the most. You keep the music relevant, no rock bands, no rap music, just plain and quiet classical to match the French areas you are exploring. Then you don't yell and then say things you don't understand or don't know. I enjoy that you take time to focus on the photographs of who lived there, paintings, furniture etc. I also enjoy how you explain what the rooms feel like to you and you make comparisons to the way of life now. You appreciate the fine architecture, wallpaper and paintings. You go into each and every room to where it makes sense to the viewer what the layout is like when you walk in. Thank you for that.

[@jeffplawrentz269]

This is a magnificent chateau. It's like a museum. The bedroom that Jessie liked was done in the Napoleonic style. I think the scenic wallpaper was hand blocked and printed by a company called Zuber which is still in business today. There were so many spectacular treasures in this video that I'm going to have to watch this one again. Thanks for sharing!

At room 1:28:00 is not a "medicine room". The very first box shown is one of a Kodak developing compound and the numerous bottles of chemical compounds are all photographic related and for the mixing of the chemistry required for developing film and the making of prints in the adjacent darkroom. Some of the bottles are also labelled in French "revelateur nuef", "revelateur vieux" to distinguish between freshly mixed developer and developer that is still usable but may have been used to process film a couple of times.

Thank you for the translation 😊

[@thomasfreitag3532]

I find that the locked doors, and the impenetrable rooms behind them, are the most alluring spaces of all.

[@gregpreservation4301]

Hello. Lovely. Thanks so much. The ceramics and glass in the chateau are old, some are very old. I cannot imagine what the family may have removed. With the roof leaks, this chateau is in slight danger. However, unattended, those leaks are guaranteed to become very serious. Ten years will be enough to threaten the existence of the entire building. They need to be attended to immediately, while the cost of repairs will be relatively reasonable. The faceted stove in the laundry was used for heating irons,, one one each side. The house appears to have been redecorated in several waves. The carved wooden paneling - generally called boiserie - represents the earliest period of the interior design visible. There seems to have been a major interior redecoration in the early 1800s, perhaps 1830-1840, judging from the early surviving wallpapers. This would include the dramatic scenic wallpaper. Note how the overmantle and over door painted decorations match the earlier decorative scheme, not that from the end of the 1800s. Finally, the darker, more moody and romantic wallcoverings appear to date from the end of the 1800s. Most appear to be restorable. In several rooms, the wall coverings and the vast curtains match, so the walls and curtains visually bleed together. If I were tackling this house, I'd conserve both, but I would add borders to the wall coverings to give them scale and form, so, for example, you are not simply looking at acres of paisley curls. A dado or chair rail around the rooms would also help with the scale. For the curtains, I'd add gimp and fringe in contrasting colors so that the folds and drapes of the fabric had greater definition. The wallpapers themselves are very interesting. Most appear to be the late 1800s. The paper on the walls of the third floor study is really interesting, and may be mid-1800s. In the room where the fabric wall covering was lifted, the glimpse of the wall treatment underneath looked to be wallpaper from the early years of the 1800s, perhaps 1830-1840. The spectacular room with the painted walls is actually wallpapered with an early 1800s 'scenic' wallpaper. The design appears to be from the period 1820-1840, and possibly printed on handmade paper by Zuber or one of their competitors. These papers, in their original locations, have become very rare. It should be preserved 'in situ' at all costs. One quick note. Your tours may be the only modern record these buildings receive. When it is possible, could you try to record the rooms architecturally, like a room portrait, say from a doorway, or opposite a fireplace. I know some rooms are simply too small for any type of general shot. However, paneling and fireplaces are commonly stolen for the antiques market - a friend has assured me that these thieves will be reincarnated as carpenter ants - little compensation for current architectural preservation - so your photographs could become a very important record to try to recover stolen artifacts for restoration. Also, when possible, do not forget to carefully record fabrics, wallpapers and ceilings. Again, this may be the last we will ever see of these buildings and homes. Again, lovely tour. Thanks so very much.

What a great find, loved this so much. Those tiny rooms above the bed were play areas for children. This is a beautiful place and I’m so grateful for you taking us with you on this explore. You need to come to Australia, some temperatures go up to 45 to 50 degrees in the summer in some parts. Those little covers were to put over the tea pot to keep them warm. The little door next to the bed was so the husband could come and have his way with his wife in dignity. They use to sleep apart in those days and were discreet when it came to marital life. The black room was probably used to develop their own photos. Much love from Australia

[@GinjahOG]

I really hope they restore and preserve it. Such a beautiful place!

That place brings "want to come to my house for a sleepover" to a whole new level! I would have needed a nap in between exploring floors! I have been to a place that big before. It was The Smithsonian in Washington D.C. 😉 That place would be an amazing museum. It would already have a ton of collectibles in it! I could spend days upon days looking at the books and photos. Thank you for taking the time to show us every inch that you could. I heard tummy rumbling and I really felt for you Jess! I would have been seriously hangry by the end! I hope y'all went and had a fantastic meal after all that walking!

Dear Sam and /jess, it took me three sessions to watch this but boy, was it worth it, I could believe that when I got to an hour I still had nearly an hour to go. Your best place yet, absolutely extraordinary. (I don't think the French hunter Aardvark though Jess, lol) The little stubby chair things in some of the bedrooms are prayer kneelers where you would kneel to say your bedtime prayers. The library was a joy and I loved the upstairs workshop. Mind boggling at how this is abandoned with thousand upon thousands of things just decaying in front of our eyes, it is really quite immoral to allow this to happen. Thank you for another ace explore.

Common french people and business men in France don't have the money to maintain them, so they are just abandoned to robber, rain and time. I'm so sad for my lovely country and all his rich culture, that we are not able to stand on the world business nowadays, and despite all our ressources and assets we aren't able to create a ministry of patrimony to maintain and save it... so I have to swallow my pride and ask to Anglo-Saxon to help us saving these architectural treasures by purchasing them and maintain them instead of us.

wow this has to be the biggest and most impressive chateau i've ever seen in a video! this place is mind blowing and way too incredible to be left alone to rot ugh so sad. thank you so much for the amazing video! :)

[@amyfulton8323]

I agree, but with no indoor plumbing besides in the kitchen would be too expensive, if even possible, undertaking, for even the most eager restorer.

[@bradwyatt6705]

What a find. Great explore. Thank you, guys for sticking with it and seeing it through. When I am a multi-Billionaire, I will go round to pick that place up. Couple of things I did notice. On those shelf Jess liked so much with the medicines. There was a brown box that said, and my translation is ruff, but it said something about 50 Cartridges and Below that it said Calibur 12. So, I wonder if they were 12-gauge shotgun shells. Next to it there was a box of white 3-inch cylinders that I think the label said candles. But the labels were in German, and my German is worse than my French. Lastly, in that upstairs study on the back of the door leading in, above the Coats of Arms, there was a certificate that said Medal of Honor for, and the last word looked like Travel. That might go along with all the Pilot stuff. But once again, great job, great explore.

This was the absolute BEST Video I have seen on KZbin of an explore of a true ancient Chateau! I really wish that you had the history of this magnificent place. I saw traces of objects from various Countries in there. Touches of India, Belgium, Africa, and a few other places. I was horrified when I saw the black mold, and wondered if you two felt ok afterward because you did not have on face masks, head coverings, or gloves and went about touching stuff. If you both say you are fine and that you will remember to carry those items for next time, I will breathe easier. BIG HUGS for this Magnificent EXPLORE! 🤗🌞🌴

[@gregorylagerstam2488]

you can tell that over the years they employed fewer and fewer staff so those rooms became more or less abandoned. I can't imagine what it cost just to maintain a place like that!!!

[@hellokittymommy24]

It never ceases to amaze me how people who are related to these families leave behind the most treasured things, photos, letters, artwork. I just don't understand how no one is related to these people & would want these things.

[@arminiusdergrosse]

I know! To me photos of my ancestors, especially ones that I never knew that died long before my birth, are among my most prized possessions.

[@decangel1967]

Hi Sam and Jess, this place you explored was spectacular. I love how take your time in every room, panning into each object, carefully explaining. Always look forward to and enjoy all your abandoned explores. Thank you again for your time, effort, research and hard work. Stay safe. 😊👍💖💖🇦🇺

[@allwomn1]

I started watching your channel after seeing you both on Dark Arts TV. Your presentation is impressive and have been so far some of the most beautiful exploring I've seen. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all 👍!

[@Crosshatch1212]

They know people in the house mansion selling market .Have you never wondered how some off the houses have auction tags on the belongings also sometimes the houses are imaculate n clean like this one .

[@dianadean3131]

With what I have seen so forthis place needs to be restored and made in to a museum. Just on the look of the library, the history we could learn about this these books would be incredible! Can you amagine reading some of those books and what they could tell us about the past. Wow. So incredibly beautiful that room is.!!!!

[@me4meNative]

I was taken away by the castle and ALL the things that were sitting there decaying. The thousand rooms was no joke! I love when you take time to explore all the bedrooms and every other rooms that are there..simply amazing! This explore was your best! Keep it up Sam and Jess..you two are awesome! Thanks

[@tracybootz5057]

That was crazy! What an amazing place and I lost count of the bedrooms. I was too busy admiring each room. The thought that went into each room. Thank you for taking us on such an amazing adventure!! So grateful.

[@lindalincoln1652]

Thank you so much for sharing this adventure. I was overwhelmed just watching, I can’t imagine being surrounded by that much history.

[@juliepeterson6639]

I’m speechless.....but, thank you!

[@DeniseBrawn]

This is one of my favorites - I love how careful and respectful you are of everything - right down to closing and latching a cupboard door after you've looked. It's so kind and refreshing.

[@nadineg6543]

Amazing! One of the best explores I have seen. Love how you didn’t have to film every single item and let us see the actual architecture and furnishing. Absolutely spectacular home

[@maurad5378]

Didn’t think you could top the château you visited before this one but you have! This place is beautiful! Unique that it contains a theater. One of my favorite rooms. Other favorites were the bedrooms with beautiful beds, chairs matching fabric on walls. The library, well I could go on! I really love that you show us what’s inside cupboards, see photos and small trinkets and treasures. Thanks for taking your time and enduring the heat for us! I have an idea of who’s home this was. It was for sale but don’t know if sold. The tapestries were said to be worth quite a bit. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were auctioned off. I believe the last of the family line purposely wanted to sell the home and land with contents for historical value. Anyway, I can’t get enough of your videos. Keep up the fantastic work. Be safe and travel well.

[@elenabucci8052]

Le dernier héritier est sa fille, en 2017 il vendait toute la propriété, je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé ensuite, vraiment dommage ! Malheureusement, même dans mon pays (l'Italie), il nous reste beaucoup d'histoire à la merci des vandales et des voleurs 😔

[@patchesandrefit]

Thanks for your lovely, sweet, thoughtful, humble, curious, respectful and sometimes humorous walk-throughs of interesting places. I’m really enjoying your videos. 💕

[@robertkcisaw7528]

I freaking love hoe you can see the centuries and decades on display throughout the chateau. Some of the rooms were transitioning into a mid century modern look. Its so fascinating. Please revisit to update us on the condition.

[@jenniferstevenson5615]

Absolutely fantastic video 📹 you've won 🏆 an Oscar for your hard work Sam and Jess thank you🥰

[@brittawrolson5936]

I love how completely you filmed the rooms. A truly amazing chateau/castle! I am sure there must be some history available on this place. Did you try to find out anything about it?

[@dwg1977]

Hey guys, been following you for a while and I know I’m bad for not often liking all your videos as I usually watch them on a playlist!! I just had to comment on this one as I’ve never seen such a phenomenal place, truly amazing! It’s natural decay starting to set in but how it’s not vandalised and a lot of it in such great condition, makes you wonder the story behind it. A truly amazing building and more to the point, a truly amazing guy. Nice to see you 2 such genuine explorers, keep up the good work!!

[@ricks.4767]

Very nicely filmed, and the voices of the young people are lovely. Diana and Rick, Olympia, WA., USA

[@janetedmundson991]

This is the best house you have been to, fantastic vlog. Thank you Sam and Jess. Loved this.👍

[@patriot1952-os6mh]

All the bedrooms seem to be elegant. But boy we have come a long way on bathrooms!

[@roxannrehm8181]

This is absolutely beautiful. We don't see this in the United States. So thank you for sharing. If I had the money I would love to restore these places🥰

[@lisawebb6083]

Sam..your voice and narration was so enchanting. This place is breathtaking 👍 The library though interests me. Such a shame that this place has no occupants

[@juliefrench1594]

That was an incredible explore. Love your natural style and the fact that you literally show everything as you are walking and chatting. So much better than some of the other youtubers.

[@rickrussick4673]

I just love the way you two are you too each other and compliment each other throughout the video.

[@houayang7947]

Standing in history. Its amazing and beautiful.

[@solvillabaja2040]

You guys are so lucky to have been able to tour that jaw dropping chateau-- and all by yourselves, no less! How fun to explore and discover all the nooks and crannies, secret doors and rooms, etc.. What an unbelievable place! Thank you for taking us with you!

[@cynthiageorge447]

i will never understand how it is that this place has escaped thieves and vandals......

[@bingusbingus776]

Sam an Jess this is far one of the best I've seen with you 2.Thank you so much for taking us all along on this one it was fantastic. ✌💕

[@sheilastokes-1071]

[@beebasema]

Wow! This was amazing, well done for getting through it all in the heat, absolutely loved it! thank you Sam and Jesse xx

[@raynaknierim9277]

This place is absolutely amazing. I love the entry way. My favorite room is the golden room. It was breathtaking. What a beautiful place. The other rooms were very nice but I am stuck on the golden room. Thank you so very much for sharing and taking us along. The spiders can vacate the premises.

[@GroundedNHim]

That was a FASCINATING walk thru this old chateau! Thanks very much for sharing!

[@mikeruebesam2156]

There is nothing "untouched" in this Chateau. And it is hard to say "everything is left behind". Half of the furniture has been stolen in the past year. Almost all gobelins and chandeliers are gone. Look for older videos of 2019. Back then it was really a time capsule, but not in 2022.

[@crymetyme8776]

What is the name of this place? Thanks for your info.

[@N0N4M30]

Can you link a video pls?

[@mikeruebesam2156]

@@N0N4M30 I can only link my own video which is a sampler of sorts. There you can see some pieces of this chateau, but also many other chateaux that deserve more of the superlative "untouched" (but I won't use it because nothing is really untouched). For example, the video shows a second visit to the library in this castle and already in 2019 there were empty rows on the shelves. Two months earlier everything was intact. But there are still all the clocks on the mantels, candlesticks, all the tapestries are still there etc etc. It is a mystery to me why everyone is running to this castle again years later. It has probably now appeared in England on some swap meet for all the Urbex followers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbLYal-jtJ1abc

[@youvebeendubd]

@@mikeruebesam2156 that's really sad to hear that it's been gone through... Maybe it was the family?... I'm trying to find the realtor photos, but it's hard when there isn't much description to search by.

[@lynnlee9071]

Well Sam&Jess,you have truly found a gem.This is greatly appreciated guy's. This stunning Château .+paintings, architecture , history is phenomenal✨Thank you✨❤️❤️Lynn💞

[@hbristow54]

This is by far my favourite video so far, thankyou for taking us here. I can't believe how amazing this place is, with it's secret doors and the rooms!! Took my breath away at every turn... must go back there in 30 years !!

[@tawandatracee8327]

THANKU Sam, Jess (& Karl oft also) :) If not for You/Your Channel I wouldn't even know that places like this STILL EXIST today, heck, I wouldn't know they existed really at all because I am not a "cultured" literary being, the times I do pick up a Novel, it's "True Crime" of today's period & recent past, so ThankU for exposing me to something completely outside of my World, chances are almost 0 that I will ever travel outside of my home Country of Canada so your virtual tours & explores are really appreciated for when I am in the mood to see something VERY different from my World. I see this Grand Palace and am left to wonder to myself "have we really come that far ahead in the last 300 yrs?" as it certainly doesn't appear that these Folks were experiencing any "hardships" or going without any of Life's comforts (I await the tour to see IF they managed indoor running water? Perhaps not flush toilets, but as long as there's a shower ability, I call myself happy & am not left feeling like I'm going without anything. Oh, just want to mention, that this THEATRE would be FAR preferable to me than any of today's Movie Theatres or Imax's, that's for sure, LIVE THEATRE!!; a treasure EVERYONE can enjoy when given the opportunity! THANKU THANKU

[@mynx369]

Thanks guys this was AMAZING!! I lost track of how many bedrooms there were though. I’ve said this before and you’ve always managed to top the phenomenal video of the special places you’ve been to....this time though it’s going to be tough to top this but I’m sure you’ll manage it somehow!! I’m looking forward to seeing how you do it! A great video!! I really enjoyed watching it!🥰🥰💖💖💖💖
