INCREDIBLE UNTOUCHED ABANDONED CASTLE Of A ECCENTRIC Family FROZEN IN TIME

#urbex #abandonedplaces #abandonedplacesuk #abandonedhouse #abandonedchateau
It’s the depth of summer in Portugal, we’ve made our way to a mansion that resembles an Asian temple!
A dwelling has been here for 436 years, gradually evolving into the work of art that’s here today.
An exhibition of colours and textures, a wooden masterpiece, crafted from reclaimed treasures gathered from all over the world.
A thousand stories are combined in this place, a woodworkers labour of love, transforming every inch to create their dream abode.
With three floors to discover, we’re impressed to find each one is as ornate as the last…
But nobody has returned for some years now, a forgotten paradise, this unique home is now hidden away behind closed doors.

This eclectic find is absolutely amazing. It had to have taken years to complete. Such a shame it's been abandoned. GREAT find Sam & Jess!! 😊❤️

[@jonimarchese7655]

This has got to be the oddest-- looking house you have ever explored. It is weird, and cool all at the same time, good find guys. Thanks for bringing us along. Love from NY.

[@MissPresley69]

Wow, this was like straight out of a fairy tale. The people who lived there were like self made architects, that created their own castle out of pretty much anything they could find and work with. I love how they just painted on the red carpet on the stairs. 😂👍 So amazingly creative. Thanks for showing us this huge building of art. ❣️❣️❣️

[@marknorton947]

What a tapestry! I absolutely love the journeys you take us all on. I got a feeling of the place with the grotto for some reason? Thanks again for taking me away from this crazy world, if not for a very few minutes. Like Steve said, you all are " slaying the seen "

[@tinaprentice2136]

Wow 😯 what a beautiful castle so exquisite the extraordinary colors, woodwork, paintings and furniture i can’t believe this is abandoned. Thank you Sam and Jess for an amazing exploration ❤️‍🔥🫶🏼

[@Samandjessexplore]

This was a beauty 😍 Glad you enjoyed it Tina! Glad to have you watching ❤️❤️

[@EffortlessLH]

I love it! This place is incredible! The vibrant warm colours have a Turkish tearoom meets Marrakesh market kind of vibe, it’s easy to forget that this is in Portugal!! So nice to see all the bright Middle Eastern patterns and influences. The stained glass is also fabulous. Thank you Sam and Jess for showing us this unique treasure! Xx

[@kimciesielski8279]

Wow! Wow! Wow! If this video had lasted 4 hours, I would have watched every minute of it!

Louis II (King Ludvig of Bavaria) of the House of Wittelsbach built castles in Bavaria one was called Neuschwanstein (the one on the wall in that bedroom) he went mad and drowned himself in the lake in 1886 This house is very like the inside of that castle, same colours and arches and openings in the walls, lots of artworks. I found some family crests that are similar to the one here with the double-headed eagle which connect to Charles V of Germany, Bavaria, Malta. this image, double-headed eagle holding orb and sceptre with an orb and cross above each eagle head is the symbol of Imperial Russia, the coat of arms of Moscow in also, the Russian Memorial church of Saint Alexus of Moscow in Saxony Germany has this crest with an H in the centre of it. Then I found the coat of arms of the Habsburg family of Austria and the crest in the castle here on all the furniture matches that one perfectly. Wittelsbach, Charles V and Habsburgs were all connected in history TIBI GLORIA SEMPER means, To You Glory Always. This was my favourite of your videos so far, wow! This is someones life's work

[@rachaelspeaches]

Wow! This has got to be one of my favourites so far, for uniqueness and eccentricity. It’s magical. Imagine the creative brain of the people that lived and loved their home. I wish you’d spoken to scary grannies about who lived here. I’d love to know the history and which family it’s tied into.

[@jaxbarrow5051]

This has to be my all time favourite! If I had endless resources and time my house would look like that! Absolutely love it, eclectic hippy! Thank you again! X

[@catherinehutchinson6099]

Looks like a hippie arts and crafts communal living castle. Outstanding upload guys 👍

[@kimciesielski8279]

I'm completely stunned! Beautiful home! The owners were very clearly creative and artistic! I would imagine they hosted some of the best parties ever!

[@teressaanderson1264]

Amazing place. Thank you Sam & Jess.

[@carolsealey538]

Hands down one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@DeniseBrawn]

I have never seen such a unique place! Everything was customized and hand ... salvaged? I don't even know, but it's SO COOL!

[@1MartinWaite]

What an eclectic collection of wooden parts made into furniture for an eccentric family who loves the castle life.

[@cassandralefavi219]

Being a human who would love to fill a castle with my art, I enjoyed this so much!

[@mynx369]

One word comes to my mind to describe this place....flamboyant!!❤

[@chrisblack8390]

That was amazing! I can't believe all the wood working an carvings. Every where! So colorful. Thanks that was great. An what a workshop!

[@michelleibbitson1205]

What an eclectic, wonderful place! I could imagine you both living there too 😃 xx

[@denisewatson5295]

What a beautiful house. I loved everything about it. I especially liked the staircase and the turrets. The person that made it was very gifted. I think that this is the best one yet. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙

[@janetfeathers4128]

This is the best so far. The owner was so creative!!!!! Thx for sharing!!!!

[@prawnstar9213]

This place is one of the best! It’s gorgeous!

[@vickilang3592]

It looks like they were collectors and made stuff out of it for the house. Love it!!!!

[@Hairnicks]

Eccentric is absolutely the word for this fascinating place, someone from Germany lived here and wanted to remind themself of the typical Rhine Castles. The clue is in the name on the bed head, "Wittelsbach". This was a German dynasty who ruled over many areas in history and are related to our own Royal Family, they are still going strong. I think your castle builder ended up in Portugal for one reason or another, maybe he was an embarrassing nutcase who was encouraged to move, you know, the eccentric mad uncle or whatever. This family is mega rich so probably still own the property but don't need to sell it. Fascinating place and I hope this snippet fills some bits for you. Best wishes, The Old Fart. I know things!

[@Samandjessexplore]

Oh that’s fascinating! If only we could meet who lived here! Appreciate the info! Great to have you watching 😀🙏🏼

[@lynnlee9071]

Wow guys,what a castle.Loving everything about it.Thank you Sam&Jess.✨❤️🏰✌️

[@wigglewiggle3789]

What a wonderful home or more like a wonderful world the owner created for themselves. I have no doubt they would have been one groovy cat. Thank you guys, this one was special. Take care.

[@Kaz-ey6en]

Glad to have you watching Victor 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you 🙏🏼

[@cynthiahofer2903]

The person who lived there and created was the kind of person who would have been so interesting to talk to. Artists think outside of the box.

[@irenmabeltorrezuri6551]

impresionante ,que maravilla de palacio

[@christianehuber1145]

Great time-capsule! ❤️

[@hahomy]

[@mynx369]

Well it was definitely worth the wait to see this video!!! What an amazing place! All of that gorgeous carved woodwork and everything else in that amazingly customized mansion/castle!! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed watching this one!!🥰💖💖💖💖

[@bethdoublekickchick8007]

Such a creative place! 🤘💜🤘

[@davisfarm9]

The most fascinating explore I've ever seen. Who would abandon a place like this? Surely someone (with creativity and $$) out there can do a little reno and save it.

[@davidcohencrumpton9884]

Amazing!

[@margaretbosanquet]

Another Portugal beauty wonderful artistic splendor with each room we seen and the splender off the funiture with the wood carvings lovely guys

[@karenfountain1352]

Well lord Sam and lady jess, thank you for sharing this fantastic home, you 2 looked so at home there, it looked like a really happy home much appreciated stay safe till the next one 🙏👏👏👏👏❤️😘

[@djdissi]

Outstanding, totally blew me away. I could totally live in this quirky, curiosity of a castle. Never seen anything like it. It's warm, in a funky arty way, but on a massively posh level. Well done on this explore, really loved it

[@marilynwargo6288]

Waiting! Best part of today! (Karl was wild in the UK yesterday)

[@tiffanyrose8810]

This house is very artistic and beautiful at same time great video guys.

[@edwardhaaland2310]

Excellent review !

[@nigelstringerNVS]

Absolutely fantastic video, glad you back in Portugal I loved it there. What a find, keep the good videos up you guys. Xx

[@trishruggeri2787]

One the best castles you guys have ever done thank you for the tour i really enjoyed this place

[@Samandjessexplore]

So glad you enjoyed it Trish 🥰🙏🏼❤️ Was a beauty!!!

[@lindaberg9960]

Wow....what an interesting place!!! Thanks much for taking us along with you Sam & Jess....very interesring home.....could get turned around/ lost very easily!!! My favorite place would be the very very high top outside, sitting on that bench/couch just "looking & watching the outside world.....so different from the inside of the home😊

[@jyi5506]

Hi! It looks like a communal “family” straight out of 1960’s Haight/Ashbury district of San Francisco moved in and made it home! Lol! I can imagine heavy clouds of maryjane and incense wafting throughout; loaves of homemade bread in the oven, a big pot of vegetable barley stew on the stove, and brownies for dessert-With happy children laughing, running, and playing underfoot-maybe some Ravi Shankar on the turntable at on end of the home and a band practicing on another floor at the other end-“recycle” hauls to bring in abandoned treasures from the surrounding area to incorporate into their decor. 😊

[@labrysurbex]

Amazing.love LOVE it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sueyoung8697]

This really is an awesome castle, I would love to go thru castles.

[@deboliver3090]

Thank you for the beautiful video that home I really liked it be careful on your journey and God bless both of you

[@lotusdolphin]

Hey Sam and Jess!!! This Hass to be one of my all-time favorite castles that you guys have toured. Yes they were eclectic but they were the forefront of recycle reuse and incredible artists however the artwork in there was mostly posters. The furniture was phenomenal! I wonder why they left. Didn’t seem to be an older person‘s house unless they were from another country and had to go back for family reasons or whatever. Can you imagine what it looks like when all their stuff was in it the library would’ve been full. The kids library wouldn’t of had 💩in it🤣😂😡🤮. Just a phenomenal tour all in all. One which I will go back and watch again. It looks like it was numerous lifetimes of people that were living there that just continued the artwork and put their own stamp on it. Thank you both so much fun. Be safe travel happy💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸

[@lorassorkin]

I'm dying to know who the artist/owner was! Every square inch of a the castle's interior is a DIY art project - the time all of that took to assemble and decorate is blowing my mind.

[@melodiedaugherty2875]

Thank you for your hard work, Love you both!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@karenchurchill654]

Hello from across the pond!You two are fantastic. Keep doing what you’re doing.

HALLO GUYS THAT EMBLEM IS THE HASBURG FAMILY IN THE TIME OF AUSTRO HANGHERIN EMPAIRE THE IGEL WITH THE 2 HEADS

[@YtGad7000]

What an absolutely amazing and so very artistically unusual castle. Would have loved to have known the creators of this spectacular place! It's a real assault to the senses, you would need to spend loads of time in each room to take it all in ! Am actually jealous of you guys seeing it with your on eyes, what an absolute privilege! Shame the relatives don't care for it and contents, they could open it as an artsy museum, couldn't they. I certainly would pay for the privilege! Thank you so very much for showing it to us! Greetings from Australia. 🦘😊

[@DarkExhibit11]

You guys are amazing . . .

[@barbaragiles1863]

Amazing….how does someone walk away and just leave the place to rot. That place & all the belongings inside are worth millions. How long has it been abandoned &it would be nice if there was some kinda plans to save it. It not….it would be such a sad thing . Great explore Sam&Jess.🇺🇸🍷❤️

[@Andrea-wd3wn]

Spiral staircase shot was a beaut ❤️❤️

[@annbarns652]

Amazing place

[@michelleferrell2788]

I would have loved to grow up in a place like this! Amazing! That snake skin was huge, I had my picture taken with a 180lb Burmese python years ago and that reminded me of it. Another amazing video! Thank you for doing what you do & recording & sharing all this history!!
