ABANDONED Millionaires 15th Century Mansion THE FAMILY WENT MISSING (SECRET PALACE)

Жыл бұрын

This Abandoned Mansion dates way back to the 15th century and was once a medieval fortress. The Mansion has overgone several redesigns which are very distinct as you explore inside. Its architecture is mostly built in Renaissance Style. The place is absolutely massive with 3 floors and several bedrooms & rooms that are absolutely incredible with stuff left behind from its previous owners. It's been said that the family went missing, it's previous owners inheriting the property and then fleeing the country. It's current owners have been bought by a wealthy couple that collects castles who live in a different country. Now it lies in secret, deep in the countryside of France where only explorers uncover the truth as they walk the halls and unravel this mysterious home that is now called Chateau Secret.

Ive been a fan for a couple years, but ive only ever commented on a couple videos. This one is absolutely phenomenal. I cant believe this castle/mansion. This place is really beautiful. Im so glad that people have left it alone, for the most part. There is a little graffiti. Every room is just beautiful. I cant believe how massive this place is outrageous and the secret library is just unreal. Its so beautiful. It was the families little private work space. Its so odd how all the hallways are hidden. Wow! Thank you Steve for the tour. Its amazing!

The son who inherited the property wasn't a bad guy at all. He inherited the property taxes and inheritance taxes, and legally abandoning the property is often the only way to dissolve those debts. He would have had to raise the cash he probably didn't have by selling the business. I can't blame him for walking away from a castle that would have drained him dry. It was the sensible thing to do. It took almost a decade for the province to sell this to its next owner. Imagine having to pay the tax and rates on this for a decade. Selling estates like these is almost impossible. They are too costly to upkeep. He wasn't a bad guy; he was just lumbered with a property that was too costly to continue owning. The French ( they do this in other countries as well ) need to overhaul their property tax and inheritance system if they want these properties to thrive.

Don’t think that’s a library, more of a workroom. Seamstresses kept busy with all those drapes and gowns. The table at the end would be the boss. There’s probably one machine that works the best and the head seamstress got it. The books are most likely patterns and designs.

Like that you are soft spoken just a perfect voice for looking at beautiful places like you go. I've never had anything in my life. And I live on a disability and barely pay my bills and my car sits in the driveway unable to ever get it fixed .. but the times that I watch your videos...they take me to places that I'll never ever be but I feel like I am so alive breathtaking places. And they make everything okay for a while. Thank you. but but I had to laugh when you read the newspaper and you said the year 1962 and said wow they're really old. The reason I left so hard is because I thought wow they're two years younger than I am some people might not laugh about that and you feel really old and much for your videos is too beautiful to feel old even though for a second I realize how young you are and how young my kids are and my grandchildren and I wanted only great grandson thank you for everything keep doing what you do. Lots of love from Elizabethtown Kentucky

My Granny had one but my Uncle came into her apartment when she was sick and in the hospital and he just took it. Probably sold it, it meant nothing to him. She taught me how to sew on it when I was a little kid. I would've treasured it. He was a strange guy, I didn't like him. He was mean and he took my cousins away to another city. I loved them. I had no one but them, two boys, one older, one younger. Only saw them a handful of times in my life. Family can be painful. It was the only thing of value that she had. Now sewing machines are plastic.

Amazing & stunning! I can imagine it during each period going back to medieval times. I can only imagine what you would find if you had more time to really get into the bones of such a historical beauty. If only walls could talk-the stories they could tell! Thank you so much for such a beautiful video that documents such a fantastic piece of history. I loved everything about it. The French had such unique style and set many trends throughout centuries. Seeing it in a real unaltered way, makes you understand why. But I would have to say that my favorite room would be the Chapel. It was a testament to their unwavering faith, to make it a priority to put something so lovely in their home to worship God. Through the years, I bet many hours have been spent kneeling to Pray through war, plagues, illnesses and death as well as celebrations of life, marriage and blessings. It wasn't just a room, it was a beautiful room. I don't expect anyone to feel that way, it is just my opinion and I wanted to share the beauty I saw in it. The castle was altogether very beautiful, like a story book. Thank you! (then definitely the library 😀) Take care, stay safe and God bless! Always, Kat

@MorganLeFay1 Жыл бұрын

Just discovered your videos. Some observations: 1) the room between the sitting room/living room and the kitchen is a butler's pantry; 2) the several smaller rooms on the ground floor would be a music room, morning room, salon, and the like; 3) third floor rooms were for staff; 4) some of the language in use in the chapel is Latin (sorry, I can't translate). Short stairs to rooms such as the secret library were probably due to changes in structural elevations when the original construction was added onto. The secret library was probably not a library originally but a workroom and all the shelving was for storing materials and equipment. (See neeleymountain comment below.) It would be interesting to have known how old those sewing machines are. Singer machines were first produced in 1851 and were operated by a treadle. Very enjoyable all in all. Thank you.

I'm thinking how painful would it be if you have been obligated to leave your home behind (such as this) and one day you stumble over a KZfaq video exploring the building that used to be your home. Especially when everything has been left behind. How many memories, good or bad. How many seeming to be usual items that this person would get flashbacks of memories from. It is always so sad to see abandoned places, doesn't matter if it's a hut or a castle. Thank you for your videos and the respect you show to the properties. You and Big Bankz are two of my favorite explorers and I have been watching your videos for a while.

The castle is mainly considered to be dated to 19th century as when it was first built in 15th century, it got distroyed along the way and up to the 19th century was only two towers that were spared, the whole castle was rebuilt in 19th, remaining only two towers from 15th.
