And me

The first room looks like an old cold store. A 1700's version of a refrigerator. My Amish neighbors do something similar in two ways. One, and the simplest, is just a shelf down below ground level in the well house to keep cream, milk and butter cool. The second is a shed that has a stone lined pit situated slightly underground or even a small cellar where the temperature is cooler than above ground, like a cave and used for the same purpose, keeping things cool. I've seen one that had an ice hold where they bring in a block of solid ice that has been stored in a purpose built ice house and the ice is packed in sawdust to keep it frozen for as long as possible, well into summer. Blocks of ice are brought from the ice house and put into the cold store as needed to store perishables in a closer proximity to the kitchen or dining room of the house for ease of use. A big clue is the slit window, it would provide ventilation and a cross draft but it's too narrow to be entered or to allow too much air to escape. You see this sort of thing a lot in old butteries. The idea is air flows over the cold stone and helps keep the temperature down, if there is an ice hold then the cold air from the melting ice circulates and chills the air even more, sometimes they had porous tile floors that they would wet to help cool the air when in use. In addition, it helps discourage mold because of the constant ventilation that pulls out the damp air as the melt water evaporates. Just a guess but, that's what it looks like to me. I could very well be wrong.

I agree. When I was a young lad I remember we had something similar at home in which we stored cream from milking until the creamery came to collect it. Inside was sawdust and ice and the cream cans were lowered into it. We would also store our butter and and even vegetables.

@@fr.barryschoonbaert3844 Exactly! My neighbors did the same thing. Makes sense when you think about it. Warm air rises and cold air sinks so, the coldest point is in the pit they found. I was wondering about the pile of slate as well and then I thought, slate is heat resistant. Likely they used the slate as a ceiling, maybe similar to a drop ceiling as we think of them today or maybe even a pitch roof that helped with directing air flow. All in an effort to help keep that tiny room as cold as possible. Our ancestors were pretty clever. ;)

I fully agree. My Great-Grandmother had something like this at her farm in Michigan, USA. The thick walls of the Chateau would really aide the heat-sink effect. I'd put a proper heavy door on that, and I bet it'll come in handy for chilling beverages, and all kinds of thing.

@user-vb6gl6nf7c

@@Ashencrowe I think the Châteaux all had heat transfer and fluid flow experts designing air flow inside them, based on prevailing winds and weather patterns. Just like the ice cellars and other food cooling preservation already in use, it seems to me that the whole buildings have open upper rooms and vents, and lower openings in cooler areas, as well. Even if the little room that we saw in the château was not specifically for food, it might very well have been designed to keep the inhabitants cooler by passing air over the ice, through the day rooms, and out the top. At night, winds would shift and the reverse would occur keeping upper bedrooms cooler and lower rooms clearing the day’s heat out. They do similar things in North African building design, making use of day and night wind flow directions for cooling or warming.

Just had another thought; in 1755 thunder jugs were used for ladies and gentlemen to relieve them selves so you could be looking at a space where they were able to do that. The jugs were then removed by staff, so you may not necessarily find a sewer type system associated with that space.

I think the small room off the dining room would have been the “butlers pantry” where the silver service and wine would have been stored. The close proximity to the dining room would mean that bottles could be brought up from the cellars ahead of time, the sediment would have had time to settle and the butler would be able to decant the wine. The window would have been useful for illumination for cleaning the silver. The fact that it was panelled suggests it would have been a room that would have been seen on occasions.

The aristocracy needed to have safe exit tunnels from the main house to enter and exit. To be hidden from plain view. The fun times they must have had 😂partying, but there was probably historical periods of uncertainty and unrest.

After the French Revolution some chateaus, especially the ones that were fortresses, were required to remove parts of the building, that identified them as fortresses or military buildings. Stephanie from LaLande recently found out that is part why her moat had to be changed into a dry moat, the drawbridge removed etc. She found documentation from a military engineer. Could that place have been a butlers pantry entry with access to a wine/ cider cellar. Deliveries could have been brought in from the outside, straight to the cellar but accessible through the buttlers pantry.

It would never have been a privy next to a paneled room because of the smell, so it's not that. They could have an original cellar under the lawn they can dig out, a well head where water was drawn, or perhaps what we call a spring house in the US, where perishable food stuffs were kept in the summer. So I'm on a similar track to you.

Looks like the first space was ice pits to store big ice blocks and to store foods that needed to be kept cool. Dundurn Castle in Hamilton Ontario has rooms like that below as well. Thinking the room off the dining room could have been to keep wine cool and dark or an armory room.

A few thoughts, The tunnel may have been blocked off at sometime if it had caved in along the route to the chateau, and when you opened the door to the side room and showed the painted paneling above the door. Since its behind the door, Have you ever checked to see if that paneling is behind the rest of the room. They may have had that originally and then at some point remodeled and used the real wood paneling. One more, I dont remember anyone asking if you have discovered where the original stairs were located before they added the tower.

Great video. My vote for the room off the dining room is a stairwell with a window, and has been previously commented, access to basement kitchen space below. Meanwhile painted “paneling” was very common and probably predates & underlies the “newer” dining room paneling. Keep up the good work! ❤️❤️ Brian in Florida

One of your best videos in a long time! I used to do archaeological digs, so I keep thinking - DIG! Or at the very least, clean out the upper room, and shift the stones and rubble from the lower room. If that still doesn't clear anything up, call a local archaeologist or university with an archaeology department. Very interesting, and yes, I'd love to see the other spaces on the property!

Great - awaiting your clear out of the inside room. Maybe wood for the fireplaces?

I think the narrow “window” in the lower room was a shooting hole. From within you have a wide range to view outside for attackers and to shoot at them. while they only had a narrow hole to shoot at. The wall takes away a big part of the view to the left so I expect that the wall and the toilet are from a later date.

That's what I was thinking... Looks VERY much like an arrow slit... where you can on the corner there shoot out from there. I expect that corner of the building to be much older than some of the rest. But it looks very much like a defensive arrow slit to me. Plastered over as well ... later you wouldn't have a need for that. And that beam there and the thickness of that wall there in the dinning room suggests to me that it was some sort of entrance at one time. Or exit. Imagine when you clean all that debris out it'll give more clues... But I am thinking there used to be stairs there and it went out... And that slit down there behind that door was for defense.

They relied on the Ice house to deliver ice for the household to keep their perishables nice and cold. The niches that were cut out could be where lanterns were placed to see in the darkness.

With my hubby we are renovating a farm in the French Alpes that goes back to the 17th/18th century, in some of the barns around the stone walls we have the same kind of cubby-holes , they were used to put the candles or lanterns in them.

Well, this is very interesting. To me it looks like the original parts of the room to the side could be well older than the chateau proper. Whilst touring through Europe and visiting many medieval fortified castles, I saw lots of arrowslits in them, and that's what the "window" you discovered looks like. "A castle’s Arrowslit or Arrow Loops were narrow vertical apertures in a fortification. From them, archers could launch arrows or crossbowmen bolts. The interior walls behind the arrowslits were usually cut away at an oblique angle in order to give the archer a wide field of view and fire." I love the creepy effects you added into the vlog. It added to the mystery. Spooky! Could the room off the dining room have been a china pantry? Is the paneling from the walls in there? Did any ceiling it may have had collapse? I do believe the walls there could be much older.

I agree with the cold room theory for the lower level. The upper level would have warmed in the sun too much. I live in an old building with outside brick walls about 12” thick (about a third of a meter). This is above ground. In the winter, it’s cold. In the summer, it is literally a brick oven. But, I would check with French historians and local owners.

Looks like one of the best guess would be an out house and the little cubby were used to place a candle or oil lamp. The cubby would protect the light from blowing out.

You guys scared the snot out of me when you popped around the camera like that! You’re so cheeky. 😆

I would say the small room off the dining room is definitely a toilet. After drinking so much tea or wine it would be very convenient. Thats why there is a window also. It would be some kind of set up that the waste would be removed often. Guess it would be considered a luxury in those days. The other toilet outside would be for the servants and outdoor workers I would say. Remember there was such a distinct difference in the classes in those days.

Loved the exploration with you, Make that room even if it was a Lieu, Into a china storage room the ceiling needs a chandelier and shelves around edge of room. It is a Magnificent space! Show off the History of the chateau even if this was a Bathroom!.. Sometimes the servants cleaned out the stalls where the waste dropped, there may have been seats to allow a place to clean out from below? Very Cool Video Thank You From Boston, we love you guys!

That was exciting yes more please x

Could the deep area possibly be an inside well so they could have water in the winter?

the tree next to the little room looks like the whomping willow from Harry Potter.. As the access is exterior maybe it was used as a laundry of maybe a well that's been filled in and possibly kept from the original farm house and built into the Chateau, would be really interesting to find out for sure. Not sure you would have a toilet next to the dinning room, if it was a well in the lower part then maybe the upper room was used to bring the water up to the kitchen area when the dining room wasn´t being used.. a real mystery for sure guys.

Ok I have replayed this one section several times. How and who’s face is reflected onto the door at 14:38 Ash is pointing at the door. Seriously hidden scare around every corner. But it’s freakishly ghost like.

Well, there are some mysteries to solve. Lalande has space under their terrace also -- they may have been used as sheds/furniture storage. The two little rooms seem to be either food storage or toilets, especially since they are not far from each other. There may well be another cesspit. One thing that is clear is that those rooms evolved over time, producing strange features that make no sense now but may well have been shortcuts to repurposing the spaces at some point.

They was an awesome opening!!! 🎉 Yes video on the other out buildings!!!

If this was a fortress, some of those elements would have been removed. The tunnels might an escape route. Definitely had a sleepy hallow vibe. Not a fan of spiders either. Someday I hope you do a proper clean out and explore these elements further. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

Please do more exploring!

I am 76 l grew up in France. Many of my old aunties had outside loos. They used potties and buckets indoors ( in bedrooms) as l remember the maids used to empty all the wees and poos. Not the owners. Also they had stables and animal poos. All that was sprayed over fields and also the potagers. You are super all of you. Hope you can make sense of it all xxxx

an outhouse restoration would be fun

Did you superimpose that ghostly face on the door to the hallway at minute 14:38? 💀👻 In my circa 1770's American Colonial home, I have a well in my cellar. When I saw the area in what you're calling a pantry, it made me think it may have been a well at one time. In case it is, BE CAREFUL! I don't think you'd want to make the news for falling down a well! That was a fun exploration! It would have made a good, spooky Halloween episode! 😲
