My head is spinning, I feel as if I’ve been in a journey of 100 Cabinets of Curiosities. What an amazing man, what an incredible collection. Of COURSE he has secret passageways, he was born to have them.

I've seen many castles and chateaus but this is by far the most fascinating. You can see this man's whole life on display. What a life Ivo must have lived!! Wow just wow. 😮😮💗💗

@@sandicarpenter2658 I had the same thought about Afghanistan. So sad. So horrifying. Wish I could 'rescue' all the women and girls and take them to a safe place. Let the 'boys' stay there and kill each other off. Maybe that's the only way to end such evil is to eliminate procreation.

Stéphanie, I absolutely love that you spontaneously thought about transforming your enemies into lovely people, instead of killing them. You are a lovely person :)

yes that was great reminded me of Theo en Thea en het tenenkaas imperium a dutch movie for children in the end they get the power over the evil witch and first they want to turn her in something ugly but they decide to make her a kind loveable woman. The witch than gives a speech telling the audience she wants to breast feed all the babyseals personaly. With Stephanie her remark its only the second time i am confronted with that idea. and its amazing i mean why not she explained it so well and so logical.

Same here! Thinking about quoting that as a header when sharing this video.

The time, the money, the travelers, the dedication this had to collect all of this historic itens. This is better than a a lot of museums I've seen. The knowledge he has about every item. I would love to visit that place...

An extra-ordinary man, castle and life that he so generously shared with us through these videos...he lives with such focus and passion...he should write books about his adventurous life and how he came upon all those amazing collections...thank you so much for such an incredible tour...I'm quite lost for words...blissed out right now:-)

Oh goodness, Ivar is a keeper! His facetious irreverence is adorable! I could listen to his stories all day!

I feel like if Wes Anderson ever comes across Ivo, then he's going to make film inspired by his life, his family and his chateau. It's incredible that a person and their life can be this jam-packed with interesting details.

What an extraordinary “home”. It seems like it would take 2 lifetimes at least to collect and then coordinate the various displays. If he had only 1-2 roomfuls you could easily have spent same amount of time recording and commenting. I’m glad he spoke so rapidly. Good camera work Philip.

@@joycemetheny8338 Yes, I tried to get the English captions too. Although I paid close attention I feel that I missed a lot of information he gave. I will definitely be watching this again and probably more than once. I could spend hours in his library alone just looking at everything and that is without opening any books. If I did open a book I would be lost in bliss! I love books and always have ever since I learned to read Dr Seuss.

I am absolutely in love with this castle. Every room is more interesting than many museums, and the fact that he knows exactly from where everything is and what they are is amazing. Thank you both for this! Incredible

He really needs a chateau to house all these wonderful artifacts. What a life he led. Cleaning it must be a never ending job. Thank you Ivo for sharing your home and memories. Can't wait to see the out buildings 😍😘

Ivo alone is one of the most captivating, interesting and intelligent people I have ever laid eyes upon and that is merely through this video, the Chateau is beyond my wildest dreams as the exterior was already on my computer screen, I would love to stay a week there with Ivo and learn so much from him!!!!! Thank YOU Stephanie and Philippe for this in depth duo of epic Sundays at the Chateau.!!!

For me the totally amazing thing is that he knows not only what he has but how old it is and what it was for.

I cannot believe the many generations of collecting, varied cultures and 100's of years behind this collection! Again, I am overwhelmed after watching the first portion of the tour. My hope is that this collection has been categorized and the cultural artifacts recorded. The portion of this collection which was viewed is breathtaking and I hope Mr. Ivo will invest in having it adequately documented and preserved for future generations to appreciate if it hasn't been done already. Also, I'm not someone from a museum background, but I am a collector and appreciator of antiquities. Thank you to Stephanie, Ivo and Phillip!

Absolutely amazing! ...and I love how Stephanie suggested a positive peaceful black magic outcome 💕🌷

This man is beyond amazing! The beautiful treasures and stories are epic. I could talk to him for years. Imagine what you could learn. And so funny too! Thanks for introducing him to everyone

Ivo is a real life character directly out of the Indiana Jones movies. Super fun!

Simply incredible there are no words. How privileged one would feel to spend time with this amazing man at his home. You could spend weeks looking at all his collections

B R E A T H T A K I N G! What a character and knowledge he is, just amazing he must write his memoirs!!! Saludos from Chile

He is adorable. I can't wait to see next week episode.

Watch out for that mother in law 😂😂😂😂 Best part of the whole video. This guy lives in the wrong century, I can picture him as a knight templar sooo easily. What a fascinating man and castle

Absolutely incredible! You almost have to devote many more episodes to fully cover all the treasures in and around this magnificent castle!!!

This man is just amazing , one of a kind, this castle is a real expression of himself . I can barely find the words to say how impressive ..🏰

I don’t know how you do it! Now i’m completely intrigued by your neighbor and I am dying to learn more about his life and travels. He could easily replace the “most interesting man alive” from those imported beer commercials. Please invite him over.

Omg my jaw dropped 🤤 I have NEVER seen anything like all this. 🌹 THANK you for sharing 🤗

Thank you to Ivo and family for being so generous to let us see their home and amazing collections. I have enjoyed this series immensely and look forward to next weeks installment! X

I love the jewellery collection, I am a silversmith and my family and friends have collected stones from all over the world for me. What an incredible collection.

Just amazing, I can’t imagine there are many such collections. Imagine a duck crapping all over the beautiful furniture and rugs😳. I’m so very thankful for the chance to see all these unusual things and the castle , the fireplaces are just divine. 🥰🙋🏼

I'm in love with his home. It is wonderful. I also love the fact he is a true gentle man. So very interesting, and extremely intelligent.

So, so interesting, honestly I think this could have been a mini series in its own right, over a few months. So much to see and take in. Thank you for sharing with us.

WOW! That's the most amazing collection I've ever seen! It would be almost overwhelming, trying to take it all in! What an incredible man Evo is, such a broad palette of interests. I'm really looking forward to seeing the outbuildings!!

What a privilege to let us see his amazing astounding collections, his stunning home and share his knowledge with us too! I feel enriched. Thank you 🙏 so much, and thank you Stephanie for making it happen, that was quite a pace he set, but your filming still as good as ever.

What a amazing place ,to have all that history in your house and life wow ,id be lost for days finding all the hidden rooms and treasures ,what a labour of love renovating no restoring all that ,the art work was lovely all the weapons and the witchcraft and black magic amazing you could fill that place every day for tours and what a film set that would make cant wait for part 3 great vlog Stephanie x

A big thank you to Ivo what a charismatic, knowledgeable, well travelled man ... This is the very best Chateau visit ever I was enthralled. Looking forward to the next one. 😊

Wow what a collection. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. The castle is enormous , I wonder how on earth could anyone afford to heat it. Is there anywhere we can find out about Ivo’s life as he is just an incredible man. 🇨🇮

Extraordinary! One of the best chateau tours ever. Charming gentlemen with a wealth of knowledge.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve known collectors, I’ve seen many collections but I’ve never ever seen a collection like this. So diverse, yet so focused. He knows what he wants and he collects it. I have no idea if he collects already collected collections or he collects objects himself to make his incredible collections. Which ever way he does it he has an incredible “museum” that is waiting to be shared. He is the most interesting of people and one of the knowledgeable, handsome and articulate person I’ve ever seen. You are so lucky Stephanie to have him as a neighbour. He would be a regular at my dinner table, imagine the stories he could tell! I’d be enthralled.

more beautiful items, and he has so much information on each piece. Such knowledge widens your understanding of the world and its people and customs. I would love to pick his brain for more information. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with the Lalanders.

Obviously a museum quality collection. I can't imagine the upkeep, maintenance and dusting.

This castle is magnificent and so unique. His kids are so lucky to live there.

I have been in museums with smaller collections. This was an amazing tour

Thank you sharing this wonderful place. The time they have taken to display everything along with actually collecting it all is mind boggling. He may need a bigger chateau, this one just isn't large enough! I am also impressed with his thorough knowledge of each and every piece.

Stunning tour again.Thank you for allowing us to see it!

I can just sit there and listen to Ivo talk about anything.... he's so knowledgeable about everything.

Thank you Ivo, for showing us around your beautiful home. Truly Lovely.

I feel like I haven’t done anything with my free time compared to this mans insatiable drive for knowledge…my vote vote for the most interesting person…geez

This man is marvelous, he decorates and cares for every part of his chateau, and uses and enjoys every bit! Cleaning everything must be quite the schedule.

I think the man in the commercials needs to step aside. I think this video proves that Ivo may possibly be the Most Interesting Man in the World. As we've seen in the last few days many ancient things are being destroyed. I want to thank Ivo personally for saving the things he has saved. It's truly important for us to preserve understand and learn from history. Ivo seems to have made it his life's work to save and protect these artifacts. I have an incredible amount of respect for this man.

I aspire to be like Ivo when I get older, what a man!

I also have a small collection of the small houses. They sit on the windowsill in my kitchen. 🙂🇨🇦

Ivo has just become my favorite person in the world he should write his memoirs the first installment because this wonderful man should live many more years enjoying his beautiful home and adding to his amazing collections.

Incredibly interesting and I can't imagine the effort to acquire all of the collections and knowledge to go with them.

Stephanie thank you much for the interview with Ivo and showing us his spectacular castle his stories are so vibrant it is as though he has lived through many centuries and knows all the stories behind every item he owns it is so fantastic look forward to seeing more in your next vlog Stephanie

This is so indescribably amazing. I need a feature length film! A trilogy of macro photography of all the details! The amount of history and culture within those walls are admirable.

What a fascinating man. Parts of the collection are a bit too macabre for me and I doubt that I'd get much sleep there.

Simply incredible, collections so beautifully displayed.

I just wonder how he came to possess these interesting artifacts - that is a story of its own. All of a world apart.

Again, I am absolutely stunned. Like some others have mentioned, it really feels like Ivo has lived a thousand lifetimes to gather all that knowledge and those artifacts. Just unbelievable. He really is the most interesting man in the world.

Ivo is such an interesting man, and a funny sense of humour. His home is beautiful, thank you for this tour

Wow! He is an extraordinary individual. I could listen to him talk about anything all day long. Thank you so much for introducing this man to us. Bless you Stephanie ❤️🙏🇨🇦🙏

It's not every day that you get a personal chateau tour from Count Dracula and live to post the tale 😉 What an amazing collection of curiosities.

Absolutely stunning! Big thanks to Ivo for opening up his castle and letting us see his amazing property. What a character!!!

That was certainly enlightening on so many levels ...

what an interesting man! so much knowledge!! I would love to meet him one day. wow!!

Absolutely fascinating. What a really interesting and charismatic man. Thank you Ivo for showing us your collections and home.

Incredible! I’m not that into novels, but I am now curious to read one of Ivo’s books. An encyclopedic collection, and so artfully displayed. Thank you for this second installment of the show-round!

Absolutely beautiful and fascinating. The learned friend we all wish we had!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am also speechless. What an absolute treasure trove. You would need at least an hour in every room to fully absorb the many interesting artefacts on display. I wonder if this lovely gentleman would ever consider opening his chateau to a small group?

This man and his collection should be the first human to be protected by Unesco heritage. What a treasure this human is and how lucky we are he shares this all with us. Amazing my jaw is still dropping and that started an hour ago. You just want to hug this man for ever.

His chateau is beyond belief - truly amazing!

Interesting guy, castle, collections, stories.. What a life.. Amazing he managed to bring all to Europe

I'm speechless, What an amazing collection ! Enjoyed very much. Cannot wait to see more. Love to all ❤

I love this channel because you click on a video expecting just a tour of a fancy chateau, but then you also get surprised with stories of dudes carrying their own testicles in a jar, and testicle hats.

Fascinating! BTW, having grown up around the Ifugao people, I can confirm that they now use those "backpacks" to just carry normal stuff.

Wow he's a Character ..and a amazing place....he could be in Bond Movie

I could happily live in that library.

Fascinating! I would love to hear stories about the trips he took to get his collection.

This chateau has to be a museum. And this fab man needs to be on tape as you move around the castle. After he has stopped using it.

This man's chateau is extraordinary! Wow, what magnificent collections! Thank you for taking us with you on this tour!

It’s just like a museum my head is spinning with all the things he’s got from different countries thank you Stephanie

These videos on Ivo's chateau are so amazing. He has sany things and the history! I wish we could hear Ivo speak about every single piece

Absolutely amazed..........what an unbelievable collection and he knows the details about every item. Wow.....very entertaining. 😊

My husband would love to meet this man. Such great history. What a fantastic castle. Those of us who love history.

I never knew a man could travel, expeience and collect myriad of cultural heritage from various countries. Fascinating!!

@11:14, those Japanese prints!...Everything is just so incredible!

Ivo, Thank You for an amazing and incredible tour of your beautiful home. You told so many lovely stories. Brilliant.

Extraordinary! Everything! A fascinating family. Thank you, Ivo for sharing your home and life with Stephanie and Philip. And this with us.

What an incredible man his knowledge is infinite! His collections are beyond believe. Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.

I think this is the most impressive private artfact collection I've ever seen. It is museum level to say the least.

Wow Just a vast collection can't imagine the money he spent and the time it took.His collection rivals any museum in the world.What a amazing man and the knowledge he knows of items .Thank you for sharing this incredible home and person.

Really looking forward to this

Wow. I watch all of your shows. This is the first time I’ve had to step out not once but four times. It was intense but marvellous and each segment I loved but so needed time just to digest what I had just seen. No doubt I will rewatch this episode again and again to get even more out of it. Anyone else feel the same? Looking forward to part 2.

Of all of the tours and fabulous places you've travelled to and shared with us, I have found this series of vlogs of the tour, the most interesting and fascinating videos I've ever seen. I am not exaggerating when I say that. I am in awe of Ivo and his home but mostly of his collection and knowledge of it all. He has led an amazing life and I would love to know more about him. I hope he has written his memoirs down somewhere and will have them published someday. I would love to read it. Thank you so, so much for sharing this with all of us. Wow!!!!!
