The Rothschild family is a wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish family originally from Frankfurt that rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court factor to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire, who established his banking business in the 1760s.

Built in the 1850s, this amazing 19th century Gothic mansion was used in the filming of Batman Begins in 2005. Failed development plans led to its vacated state.

The fact that the castles never get bombed in war, only the homes of the "overabundance", is your first clue it's all controlled by the same Hidden Hand...

What a stunning place! There's no way it is abandoned. It may not be inhabited but someone is paying for it to be looked after and maintained. Think you guys were very lucky to get as far as you did. Thanks for sharing you adventure!

It’s nice to see that abandoned castles still have landscaping services.

Europe’s worst evil lived there. It’s still haunting the whole world

[williamwallace]

Man, the skill, attention to detail and design that went into building this mansion is unreal. It just baffles me what level of craftsmanship humans were capable of in those days.

Dude, you guys have serious balls and went up and beyond the call of duty in trying to explore more of this mansion almost castle like structure. Climbing the blue wrought iron fence like that then hiding before you were seen takes the cake. I was on pins and needles from the suspense. Awesome video nonetheless and thanks for the upload. I can’t wait to see more mansions with you guys!

What an absolute fabulous property, but someone somewhere still pays for the grounds to be maintained example grass cutting, security cameras still working which tells you someone is still trying to protect their millions.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Awesome

Those two metal signs you discovered along the driveway as you approached the mansion are grave markers for two thoroughbred horses: Ocean Swell and Blue Peter, both Epsom Derby winners from the Mentmore stud farm in the estate from when it was owned by Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, who later became the Prime Minister of England for two years from 1894 to 1896.

I see it was bought by property developer Simon Halabi in 1999, with the intention of converting it into a hotel. Apparently, the National Trust was approached at some point, to take it over, however, a settlement could not be reached. If the roof is not maintained, Mentmore Towers might become too big a job to save.

I think that round structure you found at around 9:30 might be an ice house. Before refrigeration people used to buy and store large blocks of ice shipped in from Norway and other places for use during the summer. The opening scenes of Frozen show how it was done. The ice would then be packed in a structure like that and insulated with sawdust and the ice used during the summer.

This video is absolutely crazy! Amazing job

[marcerivest]

What a mansion, you guys have serious balls to even try to get in there. Absolutely beautiful.

[jesushonrado]

I can't imagine what those walls must have seen.

Seeing Mentmore Towers again brought back many happy memories as I used to stay at The Stable Yard B & B backing on to the grounds for 2 years back in the mid 80s. It was here that some of the Royal Mews carriages were stored back in WW2. Used to spend many a summer's evening walking around the grounds & enjoying the views. At the time the sunken Italian garden was still maintained & could still go in the house (mostly empty of artefacts) but still looked smart particularly when spruced up for the summer ball. They were always filming there, adverts like Timotei Shampoo, an American version of Florence Nightingale (played by Jaclyn Smith). The Earl of Rosebery's Derby winners Ocean Swell & Blue Peter are buried on the grass verge as indicated by the plaques. Several of the trees along the main drive had plaques indicating they were planted by Victorian & Edwardian royalty. At one time Mentmore, Waddesdon Manor & Halton Hall could all see each other across the Vale of Aylesbury.

Those paintings and furniture gotta be worth a pretty penny sheesh 👀

[cheelong]

RIP all the poor souls lost in this mansion.

[jamesgreen]

Cool video. What an amazing building. I wouldn't underestimate the security though, or think the gate wasn't left open for you to leave and shut behind you. I reckon they watched your every step.

[anniegreening]

Thanks guys it felt like a real adventure - was on the edge of my seat! Epic result with the furniture + paintings ... Great find :-)

[Anna-muyf]

The armoire and other furniture is gorgeous. I love antiques.
