*Update* : Luckily this Chateau has been *bought* by a French man a few months ago - who cleaned it out and is restoring it at the moment! :) It's been said that the park will be open for visitors next summer. It's the latest video on the French KZread channel "So Chateaux" where they visit people who bought castles to show them to the public. I'm glad that this Chateau got saved and will have a future, it's really beautiful.

I’m 65 years old, and I appreciate your approach when exploring your finds. First- you speak slowly and try to cover all you can in the time allowed. You keep the background music low, and in case people don’t understand why people complain about the background music- as we age our hearing changes and background noises always come to the forefront and it’s near impossible to hear what is being said. So keep up the great job you’re doing- the love for what you are doing shines through!! 🐯❤️🥰 My only request- is that you could do them more frequently. 🌸💞🌸

I don’t know what our ages have to do with it but I’m 16 and agree

What looks like a bed frame, is actually a drying rack. There was a pulley system to one side that lowered the rack, you put wet clothes on it then pulled the rack back up in the ceiling. This was used on rainy, snowy days when clothes couldn’t dry outside. Heat from the stove or cooking fireplace would rise up and dry the clothes. We had one when I was a kid, but it was made of wood.

I know the location of this property. The good news is it has been sold, and undergoing restoration from the new owners! It is also however no longer available for urbex as the new owners would like their privacy to be respected. Love how the memory of these places are kept alive through documentation, keep it up Jeremy!

Still drives me crazy places like this aren’t preserved or taken care of. All that history and antique furniture

You must remember -there were NO bathrooms back then! They just found a closet to place one in the early 1900’s. You must not know much about French chateau’s! Those secret doors were for the servants to quietly go I and out, sometimes near the beds, to help them dress, bring food, etc.

😂 Dude has explored so many places, more than the average person, yet somehow doesn’t pick up on anything of what he comes across in these locations. I mean you can watch a Marie Antoinette movie and learn more about 18th century culture than dude who walks right into it with no clue of what he’s looking at 🤷🏼 He doesn’t even think stopping to peek inside the horse stables is worth looking at-there could be horse carriages! But he calls it a waste of time smh

Remember, the remnants of that chateau go from the 1700's to the 1900's, so what may look like a bedroom now, could very well have been designed for something else years prior. Those red velvet "hidden" doors were originally in the private sitting room for the Madame of the house. Remember your era's and your hunting will yield more fantastic results. 😉

Awesome! Been waiting for another explore from you! Absolutely enjoy your videos.😊❤

That yellow wallpaper,, for the patterns and colours is a late 60's to mid 70's wallpaper. the room with the thin walls, looks like to the space there was, they build inside a wall to give privacy to the room, and make a little hallway for people to pass by.

It blows my mind that there are so many abandoned mansions

At the beginning you showed a huge hearth. Very common to heat the servant area and could have been the actual kitchen, which was normally in the basement of the chateau. Then they’d use the secondary stairs and secret doorways to serve guests. I couldn’t edit my notes so I’m just typing as I go.

The hidden bathrooms are called “water closets” Love your videos❣️

I love the narrow circular stairs. My grandma’s mansion in Hollywood Ca. They were obvious for use by the servants. What was interesting was my grandma was cousin to the childless owners? She inherited the house and all the properties all over California. It was truly a rags to riches story.

Wow, what an interesting story I’d love to hear😍

I bet the upper rooms were childrens rooms. Especially since it seems that it was occupied at least till the 80s. The kids rooms upstairs with a guest bedroom or two either upstairs or down. No doubt earlier the upstairs probably houses the servants, but it was uncommon for the nurseries to be upstairs next to the Nannies rooms. The two rooms that looked like the master and a reading room were historically the master and mistress rooms and were condensed maybe in more modern times into one master bedroom. It’s frustrating looking at houses that have been occupied for hundreds of years because they were constantly being updated to account for the changing times. It’s fun to try to piece together the timeline based on clues. Your narration is great, the cadence of your voice is quite calming but still draws the listener in!

Hello Jeremy! The rack above in the kitchen is a drying rack. This place is absolutely amazing. The bed above you were asking if it was a day bed r child’s bed. It was a child’s bedroom. The flooring above is Chevron parquet flooring. Jeremy thank you for sharing this wonderful video.😊❤

Great explore! When you first walked outside and had your camera aimed towards the horse stables it looked like a beautiful painting.....it was amazing.

1. Drying rack for clothes,2. Jodhpurs riding paints. Servants on the third floor. Possible Nanny and housekeeper, butler would have a private room. Public rooms on the 1st floor, family on the 2nd floor. Bathrooms added much later. A bit hard to imagine how grand it used to be. Americans have a hard time realizing the history that Europe has. Thank you for taking us to this Chateau.

Australia/ I agree with Tiger-Heart, as I,m 73 and a dedicated watcher of Urbexers. the Marble was a status symbol, as it was expensive and the most expensive was Pink Marble- most marble then came from Carrara, Italy- same quarry that supplied Michelangelo and other sculptors. Such a great shame, that these places are not preserved- its a bit criminal actually/ _ the waste. And the timber used (& the carving) is no longer replaceable.

So unbelievable that people would leave such beautiful things behind.

Wonderful video! Thanks Jeremy! The "toilets" you show in these French chateauxs are called "bidet", pronounced "bid-day". We have them in America, but it wasn't until a few decades ago. They are low to the floor and offer a special spout of water for cleaning. The wallpaper that you often find too in old French castles, with the repeating scenes of horses and carriages and people is a particular type of wallpaper called "toile", pronounced "toil" as you would say "tinfoil". The herringbone or chevron style wood floors are classic french style. Piece by piece they were laid in a triangular fashion. The small day bed that folded down on the sides was made of a wicker in a style called "rattan", pronounced "rah-tan". You see this wicker style on the seats of wooden chairs, or on the backs of wooden chairs. Once again, great job and looking forward to all the new stuff you are have in store! Thanks again Jeremy!

Plumbing was added much later after it was built. And walls added to accommodate more rooms. The bones are all the is original.

Jeremy go back in your red room there was another hidden door behind the bookcase. Thank you Jeremy so much for this beautiful explore. I love this place. I wish somebody would restore it and bring it back to its former glory. It has such good bones. Thank you for all your hard work. It does not go unappreciated. Sending love from California.💜🤟🏻🤗😎🫶🐬🇺🇸

Most chateaus have tons of books. Back then that was one of the most important pastimes, even in America as late as the 1970’s.

In the kitchen is a hanging drying rack. Very common to wash/hang dry in the kitchen in older European homes. Love this!

I am so excited!!! You always prepare something wonderful for us! 🤗

I’m so glad this is coming up. It was your channel that sparked my interest in abandoned properties, and since I can’t explore myself I enjoy the videos here on KZread. Lol, after I watched one of your older video I did a binge watch of your library.

"I love how nature always finds its way inside ..." so beautiful and poetic. Good job!

❤My Favorite thing in this Mansion,is the Blue Bathroom! Love it!!❤

I can't imagine the cost of maintenance in such a place. The floors may be original to the home. There was definitely an equestrian lover who lived there. The bars on the ceiling in the kitchen area may have been to hang herbs and flowers for drying. The place was built by hand and horse. Simply amazing what they could do. It's very difficult to fix up very old places as a lot of the material is not made any longer. I wish we knew more about why it's abandoned. Another great video.

This was an amazing find! Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us! I can’t wait for the next one!

The nostalgia in your voice, tone really sets the mood of a bygone era. I enjoying watching your show nightly, puts me to a satisfying sleep. I love th e past, the different architecture and the furniture definitely is a treasure! Thank you so much for your respect and care you give to every house, castle, mansion, what ever abode!

Thank you for sharing another incredible journey through an abandoned property. I want to pour through all the books left in the rooms and hallways. Again… thanks for the tour. 👏👏👏😎

This place is amazing. It’s a giant maze, so much to see and every which way to go! Love this place! Thanks Jeremy I appreciate your love for this and thank you for passing it along for all of us to see! ❤

I wish I could go with you! The home looks like it was last seriously renovated in the 60's to early 70's. Most of the historical stuff was removed and probably sold as family fortunes declined. I imagine its cold as heck in the winter! Can you imagine what it looked like in say 1750? ! The vaulted architecture, lime mortar walls and those hand made rafters! The interior partitioning is like a rat maze. So interesting. I do wish you had gone through more of the outbuildings just for the architecture aspect.

The strange-looking rack hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen is a clothesline. That is what was used to dry laundry.

The yellow & orange circle wallpaper is 1960s maybe early 70s. The metal frame on kitchen ceiling is either for pots/pans, drying herbs or hanging laundry. Books: not unusual in any old home, imagine they probably didn’t have TVs in every room or other electronics, as we do today. People read often. You can use google translate to figure out what is written in the notebook.

I believe the ceiling rack I the kitchen, was used for drying herbs, they would pick them from the garden and hang them to dry, seen it the hamdmades tale lol

Hi Jeremy it is a shame that this French Chateau has been abandoned. Thank you for the tour. I think the pants are called Jodpurs. It looks like many things have been added each century. Some of those books should be in a museum and the marble fireplaces are Magnificent. In the Garden they are PILLARS that would have had statues on them.

Servents were rarely allowed to use the main staircase. They were not to be seen or heard. Their own staircase also was not to be seen.

Jeremy, you are a very nice young man. You are very respectful of the old era. I felt that the chateau embraced you. Books were our televisions, as they preceded TVs. Each book 📕 was a world, of illustrations, artwork, and of course text. A well done 👍 presentation Jeremy. Merci beaucoup de mon peuple!

There were a ot of guest in your intro. So they needed bedrooms in the attics area. Plus many of the military had a butler like person to wait on them, help grooming the person shaving, cutting and style hair, maintaining the uniforms which they brought with them. They even travel with a special uniform worn for formal occasions. They also made sure their things were packed carefully when camps were moved. Also with the trunks and furniture they traveled with. Some took tubes with them. Copper to help to keep the water warm. So those invited to this house would travel with at least one trunk maybe more.

Hi from Australia Jeremy, can't wait for the new video. I really look forward to watching them , thanks 🙂❤

FANTASTIC Time Spent here. Although I have extensively explored (lived and breathed History) in Europe for most part of my adulthood and have been to many Castles, Chateaus and Fortresses, I have never experienced anything from this perspective. Thank you for your admirable respect and yet intimate narration of your own experience as I so thrilled, tried to absorb the remain of the days long past, specially through the personal belongings left behind and the cultural richness of the books, magazines and perhaps a Diary? sitting still, perhaps waiting for someone to share with, its own personal history. ALL Life is so Precious! With Gratitude and Appreciation for the work you do. THANK YOU!👏 P.S. The item hanging from the kitchen ceiling is a "Clothes Drying Rack" - the strings attached to it when released from the wall on the right, very efficiently, lower and raise it to load and unload the laundry. It is still somewhat popular in Europe.

I love the way you present every house it’s so breathtaking and beautiful how u talk about it also i love your voice and just the way you’re talking about everything ❤️ love the videos keep going ❤

Wow... If I had the money to renovate and bring it back to life.... Its beautiful.....

It's really cool that you guys witnessed a ghost a couple times. I saw it too, and you didn't skip a beat or turn your video into a ghost hunter episode!

If I had that kind of money 💰. I'd buy it and bring it back to live in as much original decor of 1600-1700. ❤️ closest I've found was 2 bed cottage in French countryside cicra 1750s ❤️. Love 1600-1700 homes w stone walls and floors 500yrs old . Thanks Jeremy for taking such patients to detail telling as story of wonderful château ❤️😊

Well worth the wait . Entertaining, factual , humorous even ghosts.. excitedly awaiting your next exploration

I just stumbled on your channel yesterday. I've watched several videos already and plan on going through the whole collection in my spare time. Totally enjoyed so far, and they are so well done and narrated.

The textured red wallpaper looks like something called grass cloth, which was popular in the 1950s-60s. It looks like there's also quite a bit of it in a tan color as well.

NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL. Absolutely amazing finds. It almost sickens me knowing these homes are just left to fall to the ground with all the beautiful things that's left behind. This is one more reason to be satisfied with what you have in this life. Buy what you'll use and forget about all the rest.

Very cool 😎👍 love those old places it's like a history lesson awsome explore

I saw your comment on a Bros of Decay exploration in Georgia USA, I liked the wealth of detail about the house which was being explored. A family tragedy. I decided to watch your videos, and I became your fan. Very detailed and fun. Thanks for your documentary. Congratulations! I'm in Sao Paulo - Brasil.

❤ What an amazing explore. Many thanks from England.

The books at (36:44) are a set of French language and culture encyclopedia's published in 1933 by Larousse.

Very interesting chateau-really loved the storage room with the China and mirror and all that. The “junk” rooms are always interesting. I keep thinking about what you were saying about rooms not being ornate and all of that. My thinking (of course we will never know without pictures and paintings/etchings of an older version of this place) is that maybe, even though this was built and inhabited by knights, since it was a working farm, and a utilitarian life as farming, knighthood, and possibly horses/riding, maybe they didn’t create this place to be overly fancy in the first place. It may have been created to be more useful and lived in, if that makes sense. As a family of people who were busy guarding the Kings, as well as busy overseeing a farm/vineyard, they probably wouldn’t have had the time, and maybe not the inclination to entertain much. Obviously strictly an opinion. No matter how “plain” it is compared to some of the others, it is beautiful in its own right! I’m glad to hear of its restoration

5 Star. Another excellent video Jeremy, I post your videos on my facebook page.

So sad that all that space could not been used for apartments or business offices or the towns farmers market and gathering place at Christmas time? Weddings and parties and wedding receptions ? Maybe even used for movies 🎥 ☹️ Heartbreaking 💔 to let it just be wasted and forgotten and rotting away 😢

The master blue bathroom looks like the most updated room so far. And mildew resistant glossy paint is used in modern bathrooms everywhere, not just in old French Chateaus.

There was a program in England on Channel 4 called escape to the chateau diy where you followed several English families who had brought chateaus often for less than the price of a house here and you follow the renovation. They nearly all turned them into wedding functions or bed and breakfast accomadations, I’m sure you will find them on YT .

I believe that hanging over your head bed frame is where they hung all their pots and pans

Wish I could travel with you to see all these beautiful homes, so nice to imagine lives once lived!

Just a Gorgeous Castle with gorgeous things left inside

imagine what that place looked like in its prime… wow. i bet there were many people who were born there, lived in and then died there. it definitely has had some updates over the years, but it was probably something else when it was built! i hope whoever bought it can return it some semblance of what it once was.

I am wondering if the rack on the kitchen ceiling could be a drying rack for herbs and flowers or/and could be for hanging pots and pans?
