Abandoned Multi Million Dollar Revolution Castle - 300 Years of History!

Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► www.patreon.com/brosofdecay

I find it heartbreaking to see these gorgeous places go to ruin all those beautiful things left to rot and you dressed fantastic for the part such a handsome young Man U seemed to fit right in

Someone needs to rescue this beautiful furniture. Surely the government could intercede in such situations and place the houses content in a museum.

I simply cannot understand the love of collecting from the whole world being left to decay and exist no more. It is mind boggling and extremely sad to me. Surely, prior to accident or illness, some arrangements could have been made to protect these collections of artifacts and paintings. It is beyond belief that they couldn't be saved to be shared. Thank you so much, Leslie and team, for sharing them with us. Also, Leslie, in period costume, was greatly appreciated.

This is an absolute gem. It’s really a shame to see a beautiful place like this just rot in place. All of the art work has to mean SOMETHING to SOMEONE! Why can’t the city step in and restore it or contact the family and if they don’t want it they could Offer it to a museum. Anyway thank you so much for what you do.

All of these ancient buildings should become museums or national historic sites! It’s a win-win situation: the castles get the much needed renovations and people can make income from opening these places to the public.

Oh, I do hope someone is able to rescue all those invaluable treasures before it is too late!

Thank you Leslie for taking us on the tour. Its a shame it may not be saved. That family were serious collectors filling all those walls with priceless art. What a treasure we can see it before it is too late. They were also great decorators.

It’s one thing to see individual items like this carefully placed in separate display spots in a museum, but it is a whole new level of intriguing to see them all placed together in the way they actually were used or displayed for day to day life. It feels cohesive and real in a way that can’t be achieved looking at items sitting separately inside a display case. It’s just too bad that the decay is setting in when they’re like this.

These magnificent homes must be preserved. We live in a world that is too quick to tear things down and make a parking lot or build an IKEA or a WALMART.

Most of that stuff should be in a museum. Some of that art work is priceless.

All the histories, the lives lived and lost, the stories told and untold.... These places are amazing part of history.

I've seen a few of your videos now and I really enjoy them. I love how respectful you are with others belongings. I also love how you make it fun by dressing up! It is so heartbreaking to see places fade away and no longer cared for. It makes me angry to see places vandalized or you can tell someone has taken something. And then I worry for things that are so valuable. I don't know if you can do anything to protect them, but if you could? Thank you thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to see more!

I think we have to realize Leslie is a person of integrity hence why he wouldn’t dream of taking anything. I’ve watched him for a while now and he is very respectful of all items. Even in big homes strewn with garbage, he will carefully handle items,now with gloves on. He’s trying to make some things come to life, so often he tries to make educated, and uneducated guesses as to their purpose . He enjoys learning about historical artifacts and so he’s always open to correction if anyone knows better than him.

Guys I really hope you consider wearing respirators indoors in the future. That's some serious black mold in that house and it's very dangerous. I'm sure others have mentioned this on here but I couldn't help but say something. Keep up the good work and take care of yourselves!

Not a thing is wasted here with your tender respectful touch and glimpses of time gone by .. This palace has been left intact for posterity. We are so privileged to have you to escort us around. Thank you again for another gem of a tour.

This place is one of my absolute favorites....I have watched 20 times, I never get tired of seeing all the artwork and paintings... thank you so much for sharing it with me....

Those paintings on the wall are called ‘frescos’, the tiles are likely from an old chapel, or the original chapel within the grounds. The wood and paper on the wall near the wooden statue with the rosary, are very old religious artefacts and prayers. The boy holding the cross with Maria is baby Jesus. The little boy in the paining with the collar is either lord Fauntleroy or an ancestor. The rugs in the wall are medieval tapestries and I think telling everyone the former owners name only opens the place up to looting and theft. The mirror with the painting is called a Turneau mirror. The phone is phone from the war, that soldiers used in battle. I doubt this property has been abandoned if the house is being cared for. It looks like you had permission to film too. The man was an eye doctor and the kit you picked up was for looking at the behind the cornea. Loving how appreciative and respectful you are of the property and the belongings within. Lovely find. Just hope this can be preserved, saved and not looted. Lesley has a lovely calming voice for presenting this too.

I can not believe all the things are just going to stay there and ruin, so sad 😞

Although the love seeing the architecture for these old places, it saddens to not see them cared for. However, this one truely made me angry. As a history of art buff and student of archeology it was sickening to see the variety of cultural treasures being allowed to decay and disintegrate. So many items that belong in art galleries or museums. And quite frankly, many misappropriated historical artifacts that should be returned to the country of origin. I can't tell you how many extremely valuable items were there and for no one to care about preserving them makes me wonder about the nature of their acquisition to begin with. Thank you for finding and giving us a tour but seriously, please contact some nearby reputable museum's about the contents. Don't get me started about items on the table and that Madonna statue hidden away in the secret library room. I recognized Egyptian tools for mummification that if said country knew about, would trigger extradition protocol. Perhaps that's why no one has bought the place, the cost or repairs, mold removal and bringing up to code is too ambitious. Should be a government undertaking with archival endowments. Returning the African, Indo-Asian, Egyptian cultural artifacts is mandatory especially in light of the pathetic manner they are currently stored in. Such allocation is neccessary to the correct record keeping of not just art in one culture but the cultural history of all of us. Such important peices do not belong to a few wealthy people but to whole nations and the world.
