𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
On the grassy plains of an embattled French meadow that endured much political strife, sits a majestic castle with a harrowing history of its own.
Originally intended to be an important fortified castle, the construction of this dignified landmark was finished in the early 16th century.

Exactly one year ago, after the castle had been fading into oblivion for decades a priori, we visited this phenomenal place and could not believe our eyes. As centuries passed, the property was inhabited by the military nobility and several lieutenants who played a predominant role during the French Revolution. The personal legacy of generation upon generation is now left behind only to be devoured by nature as vegetation creeps through windows and doors/
Today we take you on an intriguing adventure back in time, as we visit this castle and take you on a journey through priceless historical mementos and invaluable antique furniture. One can rightly ask how such places even exist, and how one could ever leave such abundant history behind for the fate of the elements.

Today we are opening and sharing a discarded hidden treasure that has remained closed for years with each and every one of you.

Fortunately, the future of the building looks bright. The castle was recently bought and is currently being replenished back to its former glory. But before that happens, we're taking you on one last look behind its spellbound walls.

The buttons on the wall that appeared to be electrical connections were actually the servants bells. The rooms were marked so the servants could tell where the bell call was coming from. It appears there were belongings ranging across many decades. Beautiful!

Уважение и восхищение замком и его интерьером. Как это можно было все
Оставить !? Портреты предков Очень интелегентные и воспитанные путешественники в старину . Почтительны . Спасибо вам за это!!!

[sandysanders]

Thank you for taking us on this Fairytale Castle Tour. I am so happy to hear that someone bought the castle and is restoring it. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you

One thing I love about the French is the colors they used to paint their walls. The pastels are beautiful.

[commonsense]

Incredible! There are hundreds of these huge houses in France that are now become a popular hobby to restore and make available to guests. As with Chateau Diaries and How To Restore A Chateau, these fabulous architectural buildings are living again. Thank you, I loved your video.

[michellemendiola]

It would be so nice if these beautiful places were opened up as museums so we could walk through and see the history. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[moonobservergilles]

It breaks my heart to see such historical buildings abandonned :(

[chris.asi_romeo]

So happy to know it's not abandoned anymore and its going to be restored. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow! What a fabulous place...I know y'all tried to get in there before...right?

The room off that dining room is a butler pantry so they had direct out of sight access to the guests. The " food elevator" is a dumb waiter that would deliver food from the kitchen below ( most likely behind that looked door in the basement). It also was used to send the breakfast trays upstairs. The other room that was made into a kitchen was probably used as prep to plate up the food.

There would not have been any kind of livery or blacksmith inside the house...that would have been located in an outbuilding near the stables.

Those electronics were quite fascinating and the oldest bell calling system I have ever seen. All important rooms ( even bedrooms) had a bell pull or button to alert servants they were needed.

Those stamps were called wax seals ...they were used to seal letters and correspondents ...and to identify the sender.

That little room in the first bedroom is called a modesty room. The wife would change into her night clothes there and then slip into bed so her husband could not witness her naked! Imagine...lol.
Our traditions have changed alot.

The "sink" in the hallway on the servants level was just a water spigot. This was a water source for the entire floor. The servants could fill their jug, take to their room to fill their wash basin on their vanity.

I know you had to have explored the attic and out buildings...can we please, please see it!!

Great job y'all!

Thank you for closing the windows. Protecting it is such wonderful respect for these beautiful palaces.

[lindasonger]

So happy to hear that this place is being loved again, thank you people for saving history

[ronkelly]

You both make me very proud to be a human being who respects history and the people who made up our history

[lotusdolphin]

Thank you Maureno and Ramon!!! That was truly fantastic! I am so happy somebody has purchased this beautiful château and is going to bring it back to its former self. They certainly have some beautiful antiques to fill it! I’m so glad that you got to document it before it was not available to document. That staircase was breathtaking! Some truly magnificent pieces in there and all the books my goodness. Stay safe💜😎🤟🏻🍀🇺🇸

[kellyriddle]

Back in those days, they had groomers to take care of the horses, and they would live either in the barn, or small building to keep an eye on the tack/ bridles, saddles, etc. I Love looking through old buildings, and looking through books about castles, so Thank you for having created videos of this nature to share curiosities such as this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[maryantwiler]

The tapestries were made on a hand loom, I believe. Such a grand beautiful place. Intriguing!

[fhlnoov]

Большое спасибо за обзор. Потрясающий замок, хотелось бы увидеть его после реставрации. Хорошо что нашёлся новый хозяин, удачи ему в перевоплощении замка, пусть разрешит потом их навестить. Спасибо вам ребята

[lethylxistns]

That room was called the back kitchen, where food was sent up from the basement kitchen to the dining room servants to place on platers are soup into servers kept warm then served by going through the hidden door into the grand dinning hall

[philipchretienkarlsson]

A great thing that this castle has been purchsed, and is now being restored. The library is gorgeous, and must contain many treasures !

[Leeleemeow]

The tapestries were hand woven on very large looms (the weaver would sit) most likely in Brussells
