He Left Forever! ~ Abandoned Mansion hidden in Switzerland 🇨🇭

The house got abandoned around 2 decades ago. Edward used to live here together with his wife and children. For the first time ever we take you to the country of Switzerland, a country that is landlocked in the middle of Europe, countless stories reside within its borders, and over the next coming weeks, we are going to document a small fraction of them. We start off with the story of Mister Edward and his family, they started living inside this house just after the Second World War ended in Europe. Edward and his wife were madly in love and decided to raise a family and make countless memories inside the walls of the house. Life went by seemingly quickly, the children grew up, went to study and move out, this left Edward and his wife alone again to enjoy their well-deserved retirement,
But unfortunately for Edward things turned south, his wife got sick and passed away early, this left him in deep grief and he had to live out the last years of his life on his own.

Today we will tell the story of Edward and take you on a tour throughout his Wonderfull mansion, get ready for an intriguing adventure.

A lot has changed after I explored this place two years ago. It was mysteriously tidied up, either by some explorers or by the current owner, which is an arabic man. However, the furniture in the living room used to be all over the place, it was a bit cramped, but not because of vandalism. It was actually abandoned like that. The house, as you see it in this video has been like that since it was tidied up by someone last year.

You said Edward was a military man. I must tell you that in Switzerland every citizen must attend military service for a while so you'll find military equipment in pretty much any house here, regardless if they are actually a military person or not. It's something many foreign explorers said when they came to my country to explore untouched places. They often found uniforms and many other military things. It's normal to find basic prepping items in most households here in Switzerland. I always recognize the same items in every abandoned house in my country. It's just a part of the vibe of abandoned places in Switzerland.

You also asked about that door in the basement. Doors with wooden patterns like these are very common for storage rooms in basements in Switzerland, from my experience they were mostly integrated into unused private fallout shelters in the 1960s. (almost every house in Switzerland has a fallout shelter)

These stoves in the living rooms are the most common thing ever here in Switzerland, I've seen a dozen of them in abandoned houses. People love to put things onto them, the steps were also used to sit on them if you need to get warm. They always have the building date on them, that's useful for us explorers.

Looking forward to explore together with you in Switzerland next time!

You can tell they are minimalists, no junk anywhere. Beautiful house.

This home is in really good shape considering it's been abandoned for so long. It most definitely was very well made!! Thanks so much for taking us along with you in this absolutely gorgeous home!!

That's not an "envelope press" on the desk. It's a rocker blotter, with a piece of blotting paper on it. J. Hérbin still makes small rocker blotters. I have one, because I write with antique fountain pens.

Things written with liquid ink take a bit of time to dry. To make them dry instantly, you can press the blotter on them, to absorb the excess ink.

Lesley…Such beautiful, magical memories you share. A true storyteller with such compassion and respect 🙏🏻💙

[debroy]

This is so cool! I cannot believe how clean and neat that place is! I wish we knew more history of it. Where are his Children? Thank you for sharing this!

[ShakespearesChin]

I love your ending sentiment thanking Edward for his life and enabling you to bring it to the internet to never be forgotten 🥰🙏

[erikapeterson]

Have recently been watching various to say-- you are the best in my eyes. You have such a calm, peaceful respectful manner. You take time and care as you discuss the interesting pieces you come across. You articulate so well...
I'm so impressed....
My only problem is that your voice is so soothing, it has lulled me to sleep on occasion so I end up having to watch an episode twice [I'm not ~really~ complaining though😉]
Bravo on a fantastic exploration!

[suzylopez]

Lesley, here your friend Suzy sending good vibes and much love ❤️
Beautiful place!

[robertahubert]

I am always amazed at how these places are left with everything left behind and no one has gone in and taken everything. Most containing valuable possessions. Amazing I always enjoy your videos I feel like I’m right there with you. Be safe in your travels

This mansion is a treasure! Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing! You always do wonderful Leslie! So sad nobody lives there in that wonderful place!

What a great find, the wood accents were very exceptional from the cedar? Built in cabinets to the trim all over the house. I was surprised that the master bedroom was so clean after all these years, the still made bed and white bedspread. The wallpaper was charming. I enjoyed that it appeared that the gentleman still did his own dishes, kept fine cordial type drinks for entertaining and even washed the ash tray, such tidiness. The upstairs living room looked very comfortable in a by gone era way, it all was very charming, thank you for sharing.

[alicefreeman]

Lovely old home. I feel the sadness there of when he was there alone and I've also feel the warmth of when they were together there' it's a lovely place' it's quaint. They must have had a nice time living there. RM thank you for showing it to us it was very nice.

I thought I wasn't going to see this download. I kept getting a message that said "this program cannot be viewed on this device". I'm so glad it finally came through. Not a disappointment at all. I always like the way Lesley does his documentaries. Always respectful and shown well. Thank you for the wonderful view of this home and time capsule.

It is an emotional high of the week to go back in time with Bros of Decay!!!

The white device on the wall is an air humidifier. Put water in it.
The place behind the bed is NOT to put wood in it but place a bed warmer in it for example stones to heat up.

The half pipe shaped block on the desk is for to clean dry paint after written to a letter !
