An abandoned building is not a forgotten building, it just hasn’t found its new lover yet. This was once the residence of an 18th century noble and his beloved family. He was a general who was active in the French revolutionary wars and defended the country with great pride. Even after he had passed, his descendants continued to live and laugh within the walls of the castle. Inside these walls, many clues and artifacts tell the events that took place here. The number of historic artifacts that have been left behind over the centuries is unfathomable. Every single room and corner in this place holds precious memories from the former times. It has now been a long time since there was activity in this wonderful place. The descendants of the French general have moved on and relocated to the bigger cities in search of work, leaving the castle behind to slowly wither away. When you walk through this place you get the feeling of being time-warped into the past. Walking through the rooms of the castle gives you the feeling of being time-warped into the past. Even though it is empty of life the walls still tell tales of the people that once lived here. If the walls in this place could talk they would tell tails of the former occupation.

Exploring these beautiful castles is really a nice insight into early years of life for some people. I find it hard to believe that people just walk out of these beautiful homes and leave their furniture and life history behind. It's a shame that family somewhere doesn't want to claim it or at least take out the personal possessions that is part of their family history.

[@lorilie9997]

I would be so heartbroken if someone in my family left behind all of my personal life possessions and family heirlooms. These places need to be preserved, the furniture is so beautiful and some of the antiques need to be restored and placed within the home like back then, u dream of the family and the life they had there.

This kind of thing is an epidemic. The people who are asking for money in order to do this need to consider their criteria. Fulfilling rthe publics wrong ideas is about as ethical as nothing. If this chasracter wants to find out about the owners or occupants then go and see the Lawyers. Politicians. Local Govt. and others and demand or request answers. Its time this society was cleaned up. But it will take force to do it . We are thinking of flming a chocolate factory in order to improve kids education. Got it or not?

[@tineegonzales7365]

It's sad to see many gorgeous buildings abandoned just waiting to rot. If the owners no longer wish to live in them, just put it up for sale instead Or use it as an events place, a hotel, or a b&b. I love history and architecture, and would love to visit plsces like this. It's like taking yourself back into the past. Learning a lot about the people and what life was back then. I'm hoping that this could be sold and renovated to preserve the building's architecture and history.

[@legomom2boys]

I've looked at a few of the "abandoned" home videos here and see evidence of care being done within a year of the production of the video. I work at a museum and have experience dating how long an item has been neglected. The items in this property have had attention within the past year or so; not more than 5 years. Therefore, these aren't abandoned but merely unused properties that get occasional attention from their owners.

Still kind of abandoned/decaying but I understand what you mean-and very cool to see. I’d love to pick your brain on some of these places! You can tell in this video for example the grounds are mowed etc

Ur words are in fact a relief to me, that this place is not abandoned, thanks.

[@WCGO.]

Remeber to ALWAYS close taps after you have opened them. Eventhough there is currently no water. It can just mean the main supply have been closed and can be opened at any time. It is common to close the main supply when you close up a place incase a pipe burst. If they open it and unaware of water running in a bathroom far up somewhere it can run for days and weeks and even flood the place and cause further damage without anyone knowing it. Water for farms is pumped out of a bore hole and then stored into a tank. So water is available always just not in the bathrooms.

[@moonie4624]

[@justjwilldo]

Wow. That place needs to be loved and lived in again just beautiful.

[@vokehon1]

Love your videos, and loved this one alot. I want to talk about that skull. First thing I noticed was the large amount of mounted trophies from hunts. Whether it was just the horns, skulls, or heads. My first impression was, the guy who lived here loved the hunt, could they have also hunted humans? Then we go into a nice sitting area that leads to a side room. It looked like we just entered a Vincent Price movie. A human skull on an old desk in a red room with a sword on the mantle. As fascinating as that was, that was a dark turn. If that skull was real, no one just has that sitting on a desk for light hearted decor. I also noticed the boards that came out of that same desk. Those looked like paddles for spanking punishment. Those were used on children in the old days for discipline. That makes sense seeing that pic of the boys and the priests. I think this school was used as a religious school for boys and unfortunately bad things happened in places like that. I would love to know more about the history of this place. Also, that coat of arms on the gate caught my attention. A pyramid? In a chapel of God? That screamed Illuminati or Masons. Possibly a section of Skull and Bones, which would explain the skull on the desk. This house as beautiful as it is, may have alot more skeletons in its closet.

[@brigittebeltran6701]

Excellent observations!!! I agree Honey...needs more investigation!

[@eileenbaird6617]

I agree, the picture of all those boys and priests on the mansion steps seemed to indicate another purpose for the space at some point. But it was not large enough to house all those people. Odd to imagine a desk with built in paddles! Really? This was a thing?

[@ramonasmith257]

So interesting!

[@njkauto2394]

So interesting, I couldn't help but pick up on the same vibes throughout the video. The mixture of pagan and catholic iconography is not a coincidence. As for the size of the lodge being too small for a school, perhaps all is left is the original hunting lodge, boys could have been housed in separate buildings that may no longer exist. Just a thought.

[@haloturnedred]

You are 100% correct. Bad things happened there.

Such a wonderful place. We were lucky you have shared it with us. Thank you so much. Enjoy Canada. 🤗💜😁

This was my favorite castle of all of your videos I've seen. It was elegant but not so "over the top". I love that there is a fireplace in every room and that every bathroom had a very nice claw foot tub. I may have to watch this again. Thank you!

[@pattigolden1]

Gorgeous!!! Can you imagine what it would have looked like with carpets, you can see the runners on the staircase that would have held them down... The ultimate decay is just beginning...so sad.. I think the sketch book is the ultimate find!!!

Lesley the small "chest" @29:27 is a Tantalus a small wooden cabinet containing two or three decanters. Its defining feature is that it has a lock and key. The aim of that is to stop unauthorized people drinking the contents (in particular, "servants and younger sons getting at the whisky"), while still allowing them to be on show. The name is a reference to the unsatisfied temptations of the Greek mythological character Tantalus.

Interesting, thanks for that tidbit.

[@helenbartoszek243]

I think it was a tea caddy

[@ruthbancroft7016]

I've never heard of that before! Thank you. I should have had a tantalus when our 4 boys were growing up!🤣 They've all grown up into wonderful men, but OMG they were real stinkers for a few years.

Your channel has really grown! I’m so happy for you. I really enjoy stepping back in time in these magnificent places you explore. The respect you show every place you bring us to through your videos is admirable. Here in the U.S. people vandalized and loot whatever has been abandoned. Sadly. I admire n respect you and your team of explorers. You all have scruples and integrity. Congratulations on the growth of your channel. 💯👍🏽💝✨🌎💝

This is the most beautiful castle I have seen yet! I loved the whole video, there were so many surprises. When I see something like this, it expands my senses and gratitude in everyday life- I feel so much happier. It's so much fun to imagine the people, the spaces, the activities, the changes. I couldn't choose a favorite part- it was all wonderful. I was really excited when you opened the window on the balcony. Thanks for sharing!

[@TUBESPECIFIC1]

You did it! I've been wanting abandoned royal castle explores for years. I knew they existed in countries like France, but little known and mostly forgotten. The human skull in a royal castle with a very estoteric nod at the Templars noticing the illumiatetd triangle with Hebrew and the Templars symbol in the little chapel. Wasn't King Louis the 14th the one who got his head chopped off in the French Revolution where the obelisk of Luxor sits in Paris at Concorde Place? Much thanks for showing a most interesting explore. I'm sure there's more than meets the eye there.

[@shivapriyasaraswati7171]

Seems to be many in France

[@pollarbear6492]

Just to comprehend that this castle is from the 1600’s is mind blowing in itself ! Amazing

[@bcfairlie1]

No. This castle is mid 1880s. No earlier

This was a magnificent find and love it. The beautiful furniture and the wonderful old clawfoot tubs , thank you so much Leslie I really enjoyed it very much.

[@kerrywagner8857]

I love your videos! I could spend days in these places looking at all the treasures. Sometimes I see things I’d love to have a closer look at just because they are of particular interest to me. I love to look at the photos found of previous owners. The last cabinet on the top floor I could sit in front of for hours and hours looking at every single photo. I can sort of “feel” who the people were and what their lives ,ay have been like. We don’t have places like this in the U.S. Thank you for sharing these beautiful places with us!

[@lynncorvillion7557]

This place was beautiful! I loved the stairs, the piano all the paintings and up in the attic. I loved that book with all the drawings. How incredible to find that. Things like that tend to fall apart fast if not taken care of. Also the pictures. All the details. So cool

[@Luna586]

Another great find! Thank you Leslie for showing us this beautiful castle.

[@rachealsmith5138]

This seems to be a very special place. I absolutely love the staircase, and even the staircase up to the attic. I love the little hidden rooms downstairs off of the main lounge. So beautiful I hated to see the ceiling coming down in the attic rooms. What a wonderful feeling it must be to explore some thing like this! Take care and blessings!

[@sherriunderwood6636]

Hi Lesley and team! My husband and I very much enjoy watching your videos of exploring these wonderful abandoned places. As others have noted, your sincere interest and passion are appreciated by your audience. I'm impressed by the quality of your productions and appreciate the historical background given of the places filmed. We only wish we had learned about Bros. of Decay sooner. Lesley's period costumes and great work as a guide are quite admirable. Keep up the good work!

[@shelaleon1879]

Thank you for what you do! It is lovely to see someone appreciate and show so much respect for history. Your videos are a delight to watch. Thank you for your passionate attention to detail, Your Enthusiasm, and your determination to preserve the anonymity of the beautiful places you share.

I really enjoyed this video, The castle was lovely. I hate to see the ones that are really messed up by other people. You show such respect to these castles. This castle had so many nice things. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing these documentaries to us ❤️🙏❤️

What an amazing place this is, so beautiful, with many beautiful items left behind, you found a real treasure with this castle, it is stunning to say the least. So nice to see it untouched. Thank you for taking the time to film/document this magnificent building and for sharing it with us. (UK)

Glad you enjoyed it, this was one of my best finds last year!

[@megfuchs9425]

If there's one thing that I love more than a winding staircase, it's an enclosed, hidden one! Love it! Thanks for sharing this!

[@emmabenedek646]

This kind of thing is an epidemic. The people who are asking for money in order to do this need to consider their criteria. Fulfilling rthe publics wrong ideas is about as ethical as nothing. If this character wants to find out about the owners or occupants then go and see the Lawyers. Politicians. Local Govt. and others and demand or request answers. Its time this society was cleaned up. But it will take force to do it . We are thinking of flming a chocolate factory in order to improve kids education. Got it or not? We sent out 2000 mails re 25.000 avoid deaths covers up. We got no responses cept Police attacxks.All websites destroyed.

Beautiful castle, indeed.I love the sitting benches. I'm always so intrigued with the wall paper. Your home tours are always so enjoyable. We always learn about unique objects, artifacts, hidden door ways and any other little treasures that are of interest. Thank you for taking us along on these awesome adventures. I always wonder where Lesley will take us next. Keep up the great work & keep those videos coming. Take care, be safe & have a blessed day.😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow, very sure-footed! Coming down those attic stairs. I'm impressed that you go into places that most people wouldn't go. Tiny, dark rooms. And you are so enthusiastic about it!

Love these documentaries. Its amazing that some parts of Europe these houses are left untouched.

[@betsydavis9488]

I agree 100% with the sentiments you convey in your amazing videos. What a tragedy for such irreplaceable history to fade away with neglect. Ty for sharing it all with the world. Maybe thru you more people will step up to preserve history rich places for future generations

[@patrawish874]

Quite beautiful, I've been watching Versailles and the portraits in your castle remind me of the royal French family. As always the carved wooden furniture is amazing, that spiral staircase with the ceiling, the chapel :) I would have liked to hear a date on one of the wine bottles. The piano, I have never seen one like it, just beautiful, thank you and your friends very much.

[@Sandoldman]

I've been watching since last year. I sure enjoy your content ☺️ I look forward to watching more! ❤️ Love it!

I love to watch videos on abandoned places and I found this out from your channel. You both show and explain in very detail. You will soon reach millions of subscribers and many views. After all the content is very interesting and informative. The places are also so beautiful. Hats off to you both for your hardwork taken. Thank you so much for this !!!

[@berthagreen1620]

Thanks for taking me on another adventure. What a beautiful castle , wish I was there with you.

[@jeffplawrentz269]

Leslie, this has to be one of my favorite episodes from your channel. I very much enjoyed seeing all the art and paintings in that incredible collection. The piano you showed us would have dated to around 1820 and are often referred to as "square grand piano's"; At 29.42 minutes the box decorated in chinoiserie was a tea caddy which still contained the pewter containers used to keep the tea fresh. You did a wonderful job exploring this castle! Thank you for sharing.

[@Babararoot55]

Hey Jeff

[@amsbestunderstanding1646]

Beautiful place! I don't understand why whomever the lienholder is hasn't had someone go in to remove at the very least all the historical paperwork & photos, which would certainly enhance the story of this lovely old castle. And for heaven's sake why not salvage all the furniture possible. And fixing the roof would be the first think before beginning work on the interior would help so much, but I'm sure would take loads of money, so to save what they can to redeem some of what is probably otherwise a huge loss would surely help. Ah well, time waits for no man or castle. Thanks for sharing this wonderful excursion.

[@frontenac5083]

I don't understand why you think using fancy words like "whomever" is a good idea when you don't know basic grammar. Your're bound to use these words wrongly as of course you do here.
