This particular castle has been sold to a new owner, who is currently renovating the premises. If you by any chance know the location of the castle please don't try to enter it because this is punishable under French law with a fine of 15000 Euro and or one year of imprisonment. The castle is NOT abandoned anymore!

I so wish they'd turn these into museums and open to the public to tour, so they'd be cared for.  Parts of history being lost.

What’s sad is that everything in there is going to be lost to decay. Those beautiful furnishings, books, lamps,tables etc.. what a shame and horrible waste.

It’s so wonderful that someone has purchased and is renovating this grand old castle. It would be such a shame for it to just decay away.

It breaks my heart too seeing these masterpieces in ruins. The amount of abandoned castles in France alone is mind blowing. Just a standing reminder of a different time and how people used to live.

So many precious artifacts.  Someone is caring for it given the contents.  It should be preserved.

That castle should hear the laughter of children again, feel them running up the staircases. Become a happy place once more. Too beautiful to let rot.

Is good to see a YouTuber who doesn't turn this kind of video into a joke, instead shows lots of respect for everything in that property.

I am soooo happy there is a new owner! Hopefully they restore this beautiful masterpiece!

It said VOC ON THE SPOUT OF THE GRAVY BOAT. VOC stands for Dutch East Indian Company and the porcelain was some of the best porcelain you could buy CIRCA 1600 to 1700.

Still can't belive how people leave behind the history of they're family. This place is beautiful.

It would be nice if you go to the son and speak with him to find out why the family abandoned such a beautiful place

Still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor! As someone who does old fashioned hand embroidery and other intricate crafts, I'm in awe of the tapestries! The detail is phenomenal! It baffles me that people would commission these massive pieces, especially with a very unpredictable, low life expectancy, considering how long things took/take to create!

Every single part of me wants to clean and restore this place.

It kind of makes me sad to see homes left like this. It tells a story, but also makes you want to know more because they left so much behind.

It breaks my heart that such fine artwork and books are going to rot and ruin.  I feel certain there is hundreds of thousands of dollars in one-of-a-kind pieces and first-editions and original paintings!  Heartbreaking, really.

As a child in Germany, I lived in the gatehouse of a walled 1629 castle with huge iron gates we had to open to let folks enter. We were forbidden from entering above the second floor of the castle itself but that did not stop me from exploring. I was a nine year old American girl ,and to this day remember the feeling of lying on an intricate parquet floor in awe of the painted ceilings. There were cherubs, angels and birds in the clouds!!  The people that owned it were painting every room garish dark purples, oranges and bright greens covering all the intricate wood and plasterwork. I was in awe then angry that all this beauty was going to be obliterated. Better it not be touched than destroyed by ignorance and greed. Thank for appreciating the gifts of the past and sharing them with us.

If the castle was sold with all those books inside there could be some rare books amongst them as well as the paintings and tapestries.  Overall nice castle - would be nice if the new owners would give you a tour of the restored castle.

The painting at 30:40 is of Sweden’s and Norway’s King Oscar I. You can see the Swedish standar/crest with the crown and our flag’s colour, left corner.
Oscar was born in Paris 1799 and died a
In Stockholm 1859.
As an historian, I reacted of course…that’s our king in a castle in 🇫🇷 France❤️
Thank you for the glimpses of history you give us. And for your utterly respect for the people who once lived there…and for those left behind.🙏🙏🙏Happy holidays to you, Bros of Decay💫✨💫👋🐾❄️☃️🤍

🍃Lesley, words can not explain this magnificent decaying beauty. You must be in complete shock, in this time capsule.  We will never know,  what part this family played in France's History, for most of their identity, has been purposely removed. Not only were they rich, but also an important family in society.  Whoever they were, clearly enjoyed the good things, and good things surrounded them in every room.
Their choice in Tapestries, painted scenery, furnishings, especially the items designed for their rooms, the expense definitely wasn't a problem.  I can see myself there, for hours as well. I love they way, they Incorporated colors, that I would not have chosen, if it weren't seen by my own eyes.
It might have been the piano room, at the fireplace. The colors of light sage, a hint of peach blush and the light wood, blew my mind. I would love to live there for a week, dressed completely in 17 Century attire.
Thank you Lesley, this video... and yes, "I took it ALL in." is a Gem.🍃
