Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► www.patreon.com/brosofdecay

It is so sad when no one cares anymore about the past. We learn from the past. The workmanship and skill used to make the old homes is amazing.

No one can describe an abandoned home and describe the emotions of the people who would have lived there as our do. You are a great documentary story teller.

Hello, what a wonderful video. I love all the antiques there! Here are a few time stamps and some of what I know: 05:02 The wallpaper is called Victorian Era "Flocked Velvet". 07:35 The Brown marble fireplace with white veins is most likely from France. Brown Marble from Belgium is really a granite and doesn't have the large streaks of white veins. 10:40 An English Regency Bullseye Mirror sometimes called a "Sorcerer's Mirror" 1815-1820. Another note... During 1776-1806 after the formation of the USA. The mirrors that were made in the USA, sometimes featured an Eagle at the top and were referred to Federal Period Bullseye Mirrors. 13:01 Most likely an Italian Marble Fireplace. Marble from Italy is usually a very light white color like this. 13:59 Brown Marble and Wood Bar possibly from France. 17:35 The violin. Inside the sound hole there is usually a paper that will tell of the maker, location, and possibly the year in which it was made. You may need to shine a flashlight in the sound hole to see it. 31:49 French Louis XIII "Fauteuil" or armchair. Possibly made in the 17th century. They usually come in pairs.. and yes.. you have found the second one! 32:49. Thank you for another wonderful video!!

Such a beautiful home. They had very nice things. My feeling is that the kids emptied out their bedrooms and left the fathers things due to overwhelming grief, or perhaps he wanted it that way. Such a shame to see these beautiful items go to waste. Some are very valuable. Too bad they couldn't auction these items off and give the money to his church. Thanks again guys. You both have so much class and truly care about people. The world needs more like you. 💞

That kind of wallpaper is called “flocked”, and the raised part is meant to look like velvet. My Husband and I just sold a specialty shop we created in 1979. Some of our special pieces came home with us. Seeing this home and it’s many old pieces reminds me of what we are currently working over…integrating antique pieces into an already full home. After 45 years of Marriage you accumulate many memories. Thank you for sharing this home and it’s special pieces.🖤🇨🇦

the details in this house are so interesting the wall papers are amazing ..so sad to see everything just rotting away !! thank-you so much for filming and taking us along !!

I happened on this channel by chance. This just breaks my heart to see these wonderful homes left to deteriorate. I don’t know what happens in Europe, but here in the US we pay yearly property taxes. Eventually when the government realizes that nobody has paid them, they open a case and try to locate tre owner or next of kin for the sale of the estate. Usually the property within the home would go up for auction and then finally the home will be sold at auction.

i think mr Jan, from out heaven, is very pleased that you visit his house with so many respect and show us its beauty from the past. :)

That Elvis Presley box set is worth a fortune. I can’t believe they left that

Love for Belgium !!! Without you guys we wouldn't have our adventures!!!

Hi from Australia, Great to see your video Leslie I always enjoy them, your so respectful to the people who lived there. Thank you 🇦🇺🌻🌻

What a amazing place ....this is so sad to see all this left behind to decay !! He was passionate about lots of things ....and a religious man how does it all come to this how can no one care .....thank you for sharing the story of his life with us may he rest in peace . Another fabulous job done documenting a beautiful home. 👍👍

It's so sad to see such a beautiful home decaying like that. I admire your respect to the house and it's contents it's nice to see.

' THe wonderful thing to know '' that such valuable videos will be honored not go in vain''', by present media technology You Tube and enthusiastic viewers can appreciate such videos . Thank you.

I am always amazed at the architecture, two story, balconies, full interesting attics sometimes with living quarters. Carved wood cabinets and beautiful stained glass, always a feast for the eyes. This house with balconies sits on a nice piece of land complete with classic VW beetles, very nice. Thank you for sharing with us. That corked bottle with a man carved on it caught my eye also.

Thank you for being so respectful of the memories of this family. The house is absolutely beautiful. They took great pride in providing their children with a lovely place to live. They also enjoyed their life there. I would love to have a patio and decorate it with plants. It was lovely with the stained glass windows. It touches my heart to look back and see a family home like this one. Rest In Peace. ❤️🌹❤️

lovely to see al the beautiful antiques and cars lovely house again thanks for sharing ,❤️✌️

It feels like the children were fighting against grief, and gave up lately. Another great video! Thank you for showing us an almost forgotten world.

What a great explore. It amazes me how everything gets left behind. How can family not care to step in and remove things, at least take the pictures.

It’s so true what you say Lesley were here one minute an gone the next ,home is a special place ,you must treasure every day .Isn’t it sad that the children have no interest in anything left ,I think if you have had a special mom an dad ,an a lovely childhood,you would want to keep things from the home ,if walls could talk ,great explore Lesley much love an blessings stay safe Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love those Volkswagens. It was my first car that I learned how to drive, so many memories. The house is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing and may God bless you and take care.

Hey guys, this house and all it's artifacts is amazing. It should be fixed up to show all this stuff like a museum!

So fascinating! That house has a wonderful floor plan, and I so wish someone would rescue it and restore it to its original beauty. Thank you so very much for sharing these places with us.

Great place! I was just talking to my daughter about some wild adventures when I was in high school in the 80s and a friend had a 1968 VW Bug. The heater was stuck in the on position. The heater is situated under the front passenger seat. We were coming back from the beach in August sunburned, windburned and that stupid heater vexed my very soul at 40 degrees C! Those cars just made me laugh about it once again. Thanks!

This was once a very beautiful home. I absolutely love it. ❤️🌹❤️

It is a lovely little home. The history inside is amazing. I hope someone can save it someday soon.

I love how respectful careful for someone’s life. It is so much joy of learning someone’s life . What their interest , hobbies travels were. It is sad that no one cares about these memories and home. Thank you for sharing this with us God bless and keep you.

Heyy Lesley, what an exceptional explore in that huge abandoned house somewhere in Belgium! There are so many highly fascinating details visible in that house. I especially loved the antique items, as you can imagine. - It was once more also so nice to see your friend William exploring together with you. I like him very much, and it was also a pleasure having him together with you as a dear guest in my home. I remember some good talks, I had only with him.- Say heyy to him too from me, please! "Life is a strange correlation of events." ..."and before you know it, you grow old...and has all passed right before your eyes. ...most of these memories are made in a place, called h o m e." - Oh my God, dear Lesley, my friend, that's so poetical, and I got tears, when listening to this wonderfully formulated introduction, because I could rather directly relate these words to my current situation. Of course I have reached a certain age, but I always try to look forward as well, although I also love old and antique items, as you know, my bro. - Working for church communities and teaching young teenagers the basics of religious knowledge about the protestant church and faith in common has also been my profession for many years. It was very interesting, to "walk" in mind at your side through the rooms of that mansion. - When you saw two records about famous singers, I can give you following information: Peter Alexander was for decades one of the most popular and famous singers/ actors in Germany, known beyond the German bounderies in other countries as well. - And - no, I don't think your father would be mad at you, when you say, Elvis Presley was an actor, - because he really had leading roles in some movies from the 1950-ies to the 1960-ies, where he was acting but also singing. The two Volkswagen beetles in the shed were also such a surprise find. One of them is actually so nice, that it could be a collectors item! Well - that was such an interesting and fascinating explore, dear Lesley, that I watched your video twice. - Many hugs, - and wishing you all the best, a lot of fun with Maureno in the USA, peace and kindest regards.

You all do a nice job presenting the old homes and I like your attitude towards the home and items in it that your very respectful at all times. Great job.

My mother bought the same beetle in the early 70's. It was a yellow one. I'm 53 and i remember very well the noise it made with the back engine ! We used to go to south of France every year from Lille (boarder with Belgium as you know of course)) : As we arrived we were almost deaf 🙂 !

This is especially sad because housing prices are so high now, investment companies are buying them and middle-income families unable to find homes they can afford. Not a wallpaper fan but the inside is decorated with good taste, including the wallpaper.

Hi Lesley. Beautiful house. It’s sad they just left everything to decay and rot. Great video. Stay safe.👍🏻❤️😍👏🏻🔥

I really like the cook stove,the wood cabinets And the wall papers,the texture feels like velvet,so cool Everyone loved Elvis men and women.Millions I'm his voice was like no other,and his gorgeous in eyes ,hair. Very very sexy The wheel chair is really different.great explore take care Leslie👍❤️🇺🇸

So much History that I so very much care about it brings me to tears at times

I enjoy seeing the Catholic items…. Many Saints fromFrance and Europe.

That's such a big attic and the rooms are very spacious, but, most of all I love ❤ 😍 all if the religious items that was left behind.

I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I have a 85” Sony TV and this video is like being inside the rooms. The furniture is almost real size on the tv. This house is just beautiful. I’m looking forward to going back to the beginning of your videos. Thanks for inviting me 😁

As a child growing up in suburban Sydney Australia, we had almost identical flocked wallpaper! Ours was orange and brown (very 1980s)

That is so sad when nobody cares anymore about other people's things being left behind in that house

Wow! This is a wonderful find..Beautiful antiques left behind. My favorite was that gorgeous stove! The details and craftsmanship in the home and items left behind is amazing. I really wish the kids would had sold the rest of the furnishings to a antique dealer. Maybe the father taught theology?... omg! I love those VW Bugs, now my heart dropped!! The pass is slowly slipping away from us, so sad...I always enjoy watching your videos..stay safe healthy and blessed on your next adventure...😊

Leslie, that is an incredible place! Its a shame its abandoned . But hopefully it could be fully restored before it is lost forever. I live in New England and do not come from "money". I had a chance to buy a huge abandoned 4 story mansion, formally owned by a wealthy mill owner, in a nearby city for just 26 thousand dollars. It was incredible. No furniture at all, but Marble fire places in every room, beveled glass in all the windows and doors. Solid walnut interior. And sadly a huge 3 story stained glass window that was behind the grand staircase, that some idiots had shattered and pushed it out of its frame. It landed in the back yard. It was there in the high grass for many years. About half of it was still in place on the ground in the early 90's when the home was for sale. I didn't buy it. The neighborhood had become a welfare city. Crime was too high and I decided to let it go. Someone did by it cheap and started to restore it. They still live there today. So these beautiful homes are savable ! Lets hope. peace

Hey guys! Great seeing your new adventure and look into the past. Be safe

I'm so glad you shared this house with us!! Thank you 💞

Questo luogo è una capsula del tempo magica dove ho provato tanta pace . Anche se è stata abbandonata è rimasta tanta luce di tutte le emozioni vissute. Grazie ragazzi perché entrate sempre in punta di piedi e riuscite a trasmettere la vostra passione. Grazie sempre x ogni viaggio.

Sad that less than 20 years after he passed his house is falling to ruins. I do hope that lovely young lady in her communion dress, if his daughter, will see this and come back to live in her daddy's house.

i love seeing a house full of Bible’s so beautiful 🙏🏻❤️✝️beautiful home, love vintages homes🥰❤️God bless you Brother’s

This was an amazing place and all the beautiful antiques and they could be saved. The gold and red flocked wallpaper is wonderful. Thank you Leslie sand William.

Incrível parabéns pêlos vídeos 👏👏👏👏👍🇧🇷

Thank you so much for showing us all of this home. You are the best out there .

Dear Leslie Lad hello please why doesn't the Baligium government do something with these amazing home and all those wonderful antique furniture and furnishings? I am 98 yrs old and you realize in your 60s " you can't not take it with you " all those lovely things should be put on display to show you youngsters how we our ancestors lived. Thank you again Lads. God Bless. 👵 🙏

Omg that cross you picked up has the same year my father was born and the same year he died. My parents and I are also Dutch so I find that so bizarre. I love your work and Thankyou so much xx Much love from Australia

Me encantan vuestros videos! 💯💯

Hey Lesly... I love how you always "put back things nicely." So respectful! :)

Этот дом впечатляет. Убранство комнат, обои, мебель все пропитано историей. Много вещей достойных музея. Все хорошо сохранилось. Два ,,жука,, в гараже--это бонус. Спасибо, что дали это увидеть.💯👍💯👍💯👍💞🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

A beautiful house and so many antiques waiting for a new owner! It's a shame that no one cares about it anymore 😕

Sad to see this home deteriorating. Some amazing fines in that home

Leslie, you have continuously been my muse, my inspiration. Please, don't stop what you're doing. You are wonderful! 💖

Parabéns pelo vídeo muito lindo 👏👏

تحيه طيبه لك من العراق نتابعك باستمرار نتمنى لك النجاح في عملك

I love to see vw beetles cars. Musical instruments are a big plus like the violin. It is interesting seeing all the furniture all downstairs. I wonder why they did that. The water pump was very interesting. I see that around here in Alabama old houses . I liked the Remington typewriter. Absolutely beautiful place. Thank you for filming it. 📷

Flocked wall paper, my mother had similar in her apt in NYC 1944-2017!

Hello from Vancouver Island Canada. I enjoy your videos immensely, and in particular Belgium as my grandparents came here to Canada in the early 1900's from Haut-Fays. I look forward to many more videos from you. Take care, be safe and happy.

Hey Bros! I love this channel! I can watch wonderful videos like this one with so many antiquities , religious artifacts, very interesting wallpaper...It's always unreal to imagine how these places are simply left behind. Thanks for the trip in imagination!!!👏👏

It looked like the family got most of the antiques out of the house. Only a couple of furnishings of value but nothing else. But it could be again a beautiful house.

Just a beautiful job documenting, narrating and sharing this lovely place with us. My beautiful sweet little ones, you grew up so fast. Talent!

Leslie I love the architecture. Very interesting different kind of architecture. However it breaks my heart that the beautiful Stainglass doors and the antiques that are in there will just be demolished when the house eventually caves in on itself. And the little Volksees The white one was a lot older than the orange one. Both in great condition would just start right up. They’re super easy to work on I used to have a 68. It was funny the memories that I have of that car. My dad used to pack it to the hilt when we would go on vacation. My mom was very proud that she was able to fit a head of lettuce an onion and tomato in the glove box. LOL I learned from dad my spatial acuity with packing that little car. Not one square inch went to waste. And the basset hound went back behind the seat he had his own spot. So funny. Thank you for this interesting really interesting house. The violin was pretty much toast but the bow was in perfect condition well it just needed rehairing but it was perfectly straight. Probably more money worth in the bow than the violin. The bows can go up into the high thousands i’ll buy themselves! Can you imagine? I just got a carbon fiber one for mine. Well a while back. Take care of yourself. Loved William! Love from me and Northern California💜🍀🤟🏻😎🇺🇸

I love the emotion you put Into each video. You are so right you work hard look back and you have a lot of memories and things. Most of the time the kids don't care about the things that have been saved for them.

Another fabulous video! The wallpaper was gorgeous!! Cheers from California

Another Lovely Brothers of D video and I Thank You Most Kindly! What a beautiful and interesting home! It would be nice for each of you to have a beetle! What a great and fun project to get them running again! Happy New Year and may this one be the best so far! Love, Light, Peace and Joy of Being! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

The stained glass windows are beautiful. I read the red glass is made with gold.

What a beautiful sensative house walk through with you.You described every item with such a passion of the history and respect for the family that lived there. Your voice is so soothing, thankyou for sharing this beautiful home x

Nesting tables. Lead glass windows, takes alot of work, hours & hours! Mr. Jan might have been a minister. You can check with a nearby church.

beautiful...amazing...wonderful...

Construção dessa casa maravilhosa papéis de parede em relevo lindos aquele violino completa as relíquias junto com os carros Obrigada por esse vídeo impressionante os artefatos religiosos impresiona a quantidade deveria mesmo ser professor

Very nice to see this place again. I admire where all the material has gone. In 2020 there was a lot more antiques present. The cupboards in the first room were filled with antiques and now contain only plates. In the other room it was full of boxes of antiques and you could barely walk. The Belgian flag was not there and the old TV was in this place which is now on the other side. In the kitchen there were 2 chainsaws on the floor. It's nice to look back, but a lot has disappeared and I think the children will come back every now and then.

Nossa que casa maravilhosa amei ver tantas antiguidades amo coisas antigas esse vídeo dessa casa foi em crível meus parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You know,in old times,the old furniture are passed from mom to girl.But in our days,we love new.All new.Why?nice video.Thk u.👍🍰

I usually enjoy your subtle soundtracks, but this one overwhelms your lovely voice. Keep it soft - no drama.

Hi Leslie..so happy to see your new video! Where are you now in the US? Stay safe and healthy! Thank you!!

Beautiful furniture and antiques. Sad about this wonderful house. Good to see you. Miss your brother, Jordi and your friend in Portugal
