This breaks my heart. What a beauty. I could be so happy living there. Can't afford to, but wish I could.

Сердце щемит от пустоты и безлюдья... А это история. Все уходит в небытие.. Очень жалко!!❤

Fascinating and amazing beyond words of description. I'm a Carpenter by trade and this place is a true work of art. I try to contain my judgment on why the property fell into decay but it is relevant on today's society loosing Respect and Apreciation from which they came. Cruel World

how heartbreaking to see such grand beauty be allowed to just fall apart, sadly those that have so much dont seem to realize what they have and plain just dont care what happens to it, not wanting to put any of their money into keeping the beauty going, very sad, its from an era that has gone and will never return, such craftsmanship is able to be done by so few....i hope whoever bought it is able to restore her again

Todo lo que hay en estos castillos son reliquias muy valiosas. Como dejar que se deterioren. Son tesoros para mi!!

A few years ago I tried to buy the remains of a 19th century farmhouse. There was no mains water nor electricity, but it was a charming group of old buildings arranged around a small courtyard, and with land around it; plus it is next to where my parents live. I met one of the owners (they were 4 brothers and sisters) and called him every 3 months or so for a couple of years to check if they had moved things along with their solicitors (because they couldn't agree on the value). I tried to have a meeting with all of them at the same time, but apparently it is not possible for them to be in the same room, or they couldn't be bothered... I drove in front of the building this summer and a storm had torn a portion of the roof appart and a sculpted lintel broke and fell. Shame, I thought. But at the end of the day, even if this was nothing compared to this castle, it is not money that makes people stupid. It is just stupidity that makes people stupid.

Too bad there isn’t a law that requires the owners to maintain a property and if it remains abandoned for a few decades, the state can decide who to sell it too. Arrogance has a price. Especially when it comes to a country’s heritage such as these chateaus.

The photographs look like paintings. Lovely. Thank you!

Just natural decay full of lovely old furniture, patterned wallpaper etc.

Most of the paintings, bibelots and furniture seems to be salvagable. Fantastic place.

You really captured the soul of this place. Thanks.

Wow you are an amazing photographer! You captured what I longed to see beautifully. I hope whoever you work for pays you well and then some. You're amazing at what you do. Can't thank you enough for sharing these.

Какой огромный и красивый дворец, брошенный на произвол судьбы, умирать в одиночестве и тоске.....Но как печально видеть такие шикарные комнаты, обставленные роскошной мебелью, а сколько много книг, целая комната, видимо жили здесь умные и начитанные люди.....Почему его оставили, никто не может точно сказать причину, грустно от этого и очень жалко этот умирающий дворец, не грусти, милый дом, может у тебя снова возродиться жизнь......

Did anyone notice that all the beds seemed as if people had just woke up and flipped the covers over

it's so strange and incredible to think that people lived there, slept in beds and ALL that stuff, and it seems like one day they just left. This place must have a lot of energy saved, from the people who lived there

Am sure WW1 and 2 had a negative effect on this property and the cost of maintaining it is stupendous. Would be a fantastic Air B&B if there was sufficient demand to warrant investing in it. At least it should be of use to the town or local college.

very elegant, but it is odd how some rooms look spotless and others look very messy.Still a beautiful home

kel tristesses de voir ceci un si beaux châteaux le voir dans cette états.

IN ENGLAND - the estate is given to the first born male, if no male heir, then the estate is given to the oldest male cousin. If no male cousin, then to the first born male uncle. This process has worked for generations and generations and thus few castles lay in ruin. Women are not to inherit property as it could fall into the hands of their prospective husband which would be outside of the family dynasty and bloodline.

wow

Why oh why did these people just move out and leave all their belongings behind? One of the beds looks like someone just slept in it. What a mystery!

Do everyone know, If I still can get in there? Because I know It is sold and I don't know If I ever can take such awesome pictures of it. I'm a lost placer and read about this in a photo book. It's cool to heard that somebody want to fix it. Such a awesome place must rescued.

WORTH a shit ton of money

Beautiful Chateau (some rooms). I'm confused, is it being refurbished or were some shots prior to it being abandoned? But that furniture!! I'd love to have some of it, as well as some other things I saw! I do hope it's being refurbished!! There's just too much beauty and history (I assume) to just let it go to waste! Just saw the comment about it being sold and the link to another site, hope it has a fairytale ending!

The castle has been emptied. All preparations are being made to start restoring. It's guarded from now on as well.

+Kelly Quann What's even sadder is the state the place is in now. Practically all the paintings are gone and that giant mural has disappeared. The place is a right mess. If the descendants weren't bothered about the place, which seems to be the case, they should've sold the place and split the funds. But as the saying goes, more money than sense.

Il doit y avoir 2 mondes parallèles faits pour ne pas se croiser. .. Le premier est peuplé de personnes comme moi qui donneraient tout pour posséder un château, avoir la chance de vivre au milieu des vieilles pierres, et tous les jours écouter ce qu'elles ont à nous raconter. Certains lieux méritent tellement d'être respectés. L'amour, la passion sont les meilleures armes contre l'oubli. Et puis il y a l'autre monde qui m'est totalement incompréhensible, peuplé d'individus indifférents, dotés d'une conscience particulière qui leur permet, en toute impunité, de ne pas souffrir des conséquences relatives à la médiocrité de leurs choix. C'est triste.

The fallen ceiling plaster means an area of the roof has failed: It might be large or small, but it will be fatal to all below. Some of the furniture looks valuable, and the craftsmanship of the paneling and stucco work would be prohibitively expensive to duplicate. Why won't the heirs wake up and fix the roof, at least. So frustrating!

Ok to abandon a rotting big house due to the lack of money I can understand it. You can always sale it and move on. This chateau still is in a fairly good conditon (few money, taste and a good renovation plan could do marvels!). To abandon great antique furnitures and heirlooms shows luck of taste, education and indifirrence to your past. I feel so sad & angry watching this...

Hi, great video Micelle. I subscribed & liked. I recently got into exploring and I need subscribers and to see what others do. Thank you. Mike

Typically SAD - Families can't stand for one to have more than the other - If "I" can't have it no one can!! mentality ruins many homesteads, if the children all own it and you can't make up your mind - Live in it together as a family home - as it was intended so many years before.....

Stupid owners.. The place is falling apart due to their greed they've two ways sell it and divide the profit equally or donate it to the govt who could make a museum, hotel whatever .. Instead its like this. Any idea is better than this

terrible
