Ойын-сауық

Support the Brosofdecay on their quest of preserving history by giving them a donation, they will thank you with some wonderful gifts in return ► / brosofdecay
In this documentary, we will explore the abandoned mansion of the Gasper family, a Portuguese family that has been around for more than 200 years. In the early days, they were a very poor family until they discovered their talent for making Wine and Porto. They became famous all over the country and started to build massive wealth, with this newly created wealth they build an enormous mansion for the family in 1932. They all lived here until 2008 when only the mother of the family was left, but then the worst that could happen happened. In July 2008 a storm hit the mansion and made it unlivable, without a roof above her head the woman decided to spend the last years of her life in the local monastery serving as a nun. She visited the mansion regularly in the years after its destruction...

    Once again excellent job! In the US we used to knit those small doilies even had kits as a kid but we use them for pot holders like an oven mitt for holding on to hot pots as a child I made so many of them and gave them to all my relatives LOL but I could see putting it over a jug to keep contaminants from falling in especially if you lived on a farm just dust and debris to keep out of your water and drinks amazing how we use things for different purposes in different cultures you do an excellent job God bless all your efforts! Much love, Christine

    I would just like to say that it may sound romantic, but there is only one person who rose to heaven that was Jesus, for the rest of us it is very different. And another thing there are no homeless nuns as they live in communities in convents. If this was her home she would need to renounce their property and live in poverty, as they take a vow.

Was there a family member at the church? Yes you should always look out for older family members especially your own parents for goodness sake. May she rest in peace. Let's hope family at the church gave her peace love and respect at the end. Blessings for everyone. 😊🕊🌹

    The saddest part of this, is that, “the kids all move away”. They left and never helped their Mom. My older Daughter is gone a lot and it’s hard. What a beautiful home going to ruin, just probably as that Mother’s heart when her kids never came back to visit. It would be a shame if the ceiling fell in on those beautiful chandeliers! They’re only possessions, God has our true home in heaven though. At the end of the video I cried a little, I think all our grandparents or the people before us struggled or lived this way. A time forgotten loved ones that have passed that you still miss.

I'll donate it to people that may find them of benefit rather than have them be thrown out like trash or rot. Everything and everyone has their time. We all return home to the creator.

    Although I cannot read Portugese, the certificate on the wall 35:30 is probably a Confirmation Certificate. At 36:10 is a picture of the children on their Confirmation Day, going by the white clothes the girls are wearing. I am wondering if the original part of the house was already decaying and only the newer portion that you found was used. Then it was not safe to even be in the newer portion because moving around the original courtyard house was falling into disrepair and the storm made it comletely unlivable for and older person on her own. I can imagine living in that home with the childrens laughter coming up from the court yard. Beautiful home. Thank you.

    If Miranda was anything like my mother she probably refused to move to wherever her children now lived. I was fortunate in having a husband who was supportive of me living with my mother In Norway for nearly 10 yrs even though I came back to the US as often as I could. My mother finally agreed to move to my home on our farm in Colorado 3 yrs before she died at 112 in 2018.

    Yes, just like my father who continued to live alone in our Texas home until age 92, following our mother's death 15 years earlier. We tried everything to get him to move near one of the 3 of us siblings living in other states. Eventually, he was forced to move near my younger sister in Oklahoma! Since his maternal Grandmother lived to be 120 yrs in East Texas, we were sure he would live to be at least 100 yrs old! Unfortunately due to the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic (he was a "people person") he checked out at 94 yrs old, peacefully & painlessly.

    This place must have been exquisite when it was newly built, and so classically Portuguese in style. The bird cages look like dovecotes or pigeon lofts in their size and design. Great wine cellar...sealed port, and many red wines remain drinkable for a hundred years are more as long as the bottles are still securely corked. The scissor things near the oven are called fire tongs. The tall stand beside the nightstand is for an oil lamp or was used as a fern stand. She likely didn’t take much with her to the monastery because the cells for monks and guests are quite small, and all furnished the same. The covers for glasses or jam jars keep flies and wasps out of your drinks. The hallway with a wall of window is a conservatory where many plants were grown, and people could get Sun in Winter. The set of pictures of Christ on a journey is called “The Stations of the Cross, and they tell the story of his death and resurrection. Thanks for sharing this gem with us, and stay well and safe out there.🖤🇨🇦

Sooo many things that should be saved!!! The wooden furniture was gorgeous! The stained glass windows were epic, the chandelier in the chapel was breathtaking! Sooo many memorable items that should be saved!!! What a gorgeous property, when it was in it’s hay day! I loved that she made doilies!!! I still have some from my grandmother & use & cherish them to this day🙏 I loved the large medal candlesticks! Such a waste of such timeless, epic items, made me get a tear in my eye & wish that I could save them!!! Thank you Leslie & Danny for sharing this wonderful property with us!!! I loved it ❤️

    Catholic Ed: The pictures on the wall are a group of ten called "Stations of the Cross", each represents a scene from the day Christ was Crucified. One or group moves from one to the other and says prayers relevant to that particular image. Rosaries are so called because they were made from mashed and cooked rose petals molded into beads (still are in some places).Priests and nuns rarely met alone in a closed place, there were at least grating or curtains between. The Church is bigger from the inside than it seems from without; and while all share belief, traditions vary a great deal. Would make a good Skillshare! "Catholicism for Travelers".

    Fabulous! I loved the bird cages in the corridors. What a lovely idea...built in bird cages. 🥰 Also loved the incredibly beautiful windows and the way they lined the courtyard. So open and bright! You can almost hear children running and laughing down the long corridors, playing in the colorful light patterns from the stained glass. Thank you for another fantastic exploration!!!

    Stunning view! Wow what a find, quite impressive! 👏 Love the courtyard. The history & setup of your story was beautifully done. I can imagine a busy house with the smells & flavors of Portuguese cooking. Nuns do not have a lot of material things as they promise in their vows. Great explore, you keep getting better all the time. Happy Easter to you both from Canada 🇨🇦🍁
