Step inside the abandoned house of Miss
Cornelia, a home constructed in the early 1900s by her father, a successful beekeeper.
With Cornelia and her husband taking over the thriving business they expanded their
empire, and Further enhanced the beauty of their residence. As fate would have it they
were blessed with a daughter named Monica. Tragedy struck when Cornelia’s husband passed
away prematurely leaving her to raise Monica as a widow. Despite facing challenges
she managed to keep the family business running. As time went on Cornelias health
began to deteriorate, ultimately resulting in her relocation to a nursing home. In 2015 she
peacefully passed away leaving behind the house. Monica was the inheritor of this property;
however, due, to financial constraints associated with inheritance taxes she was unable to retain
ownership. Subsequently the house fell into foreclosure and was reclaimed by debt collectors.
Unfortunately to this day no-one has made efforts to repurpose or renovate this place since then.
Thus it stands abandoned to the current day. Now let us embark on an exploration
of this dwelling as we delve into its history. What secrets lie within its walls and What circumstances have led
it down this path of neglect? Welcome back, everybody, to the Bros of Decay. I
am Lesley, and today, you're not going to believe it, but I'm actually sitting in an abandoned
mansion with the power still functioning. Everything inside this place is completely
untouched. As you just heard from a story, this is the house of Caroline and Je, a lovely
Belgian couple that used to live here throughout their lives. Unfortunately, they left everything
behind after their passing. Today, we're going to go through this place and show you everything that
remains inside, and we'll try to uncover the story of their lives. Let's go on an epic adventure. I'm
actually super excited to document an abandoned place in my home country, Belgium, again. It
has been some time since I have filmed in this country. We have been all over the world, from the
United States to Italy, to Portugal. But it's just nice to be at home again and to film something
that relates to my heritage. This place is a very typical Belgian Villa in a Victorian style from
the 1900s. I really adore it, and I hope you will like it as well. We find ourselves right now here
in the hallway of the place, the entrance hall. I find this a rather small corridor that leads
into the house, but it's absolutely beautiful. As you can see, this is a feature that I really
like about it. They had a black wall, or they had a plastered wall, and then they posted all these
leaves on it, these dried leaves, and it gives a really nice effect to this entrance hall. Here you
can see we can enter into the house. The guests would be invited to come into this place, hang up
that coat, and over here to the right, you would go into the living space. But first, we will check
out these couple of rooms that are surrounded here. I see the doorway back there is already
open, and let's have a look in this room first. As we can see immediately, in front of the
hallway, we have a bedroom. As Carol Karoline – I can say Caroline in English, but in Dutch, you
would say Karoline – and as Caroline probably got older after her husband's passing away in the year
2004, then she probably moved her bed downstairs because she got into bad health at the end of her
life, and she most likely slept here in the last years of living in this place. Everything is still
here. The bed is still made. The pillows are still in the end. And one thing I really like, it's a
strange feature, but you can see even her hat is still imprinted in the cushion here from the last
time she slept here. That's absolutely crazy. All her documents are also still up here. You can see
this is a little document holder from 1982, wow. I really enjoyed this one. This looks like a
photo album, but it's actually all handwritten notes. As you can see, all her notes are still
here. She kept them all right beside her bedside table. Let's check the electricity. Yes, also in
this room and every single room and corner of the house, the electricity still functions. Crazy,
everybody. Okay, yeah, we can definitely see that this was one of her last bedrooms inside the
house. All her post is still neatly stacked over here, all the letters she received at the end of
her life. These are the bills that she had to pay; they're all still here. And she had this little
display corner over here. Of course, people back in that era were very religious. In Belgium, here
we have a statue of Maria standing. One feature that I also really like is this bent candle. Over
the years that this place has been abandoned, it's slowly bent down and it's the way it is
right now. Little knickknacks and ornaments left over here. And what do we got down here? Yeah,
of course, even more letters, as you can see. Wow, even in the corner over there in
this room, we have a little sink area, a little washing area. That was probably very
handy at the end of her life. She didn't have to go up the stairs anymore; she probably wasn't
able to do that anymore. She could wash herself, brush her teeth over here. It would have
been very, very handy for her. I love this brush that we have hanging over here as well
to clean her shoes in the morning before she went out of the house. Wow, let's see if any
of her clothes are still left in here. Okay, see, even more ads up here, but not that many
clothes left in here. That's pretty strange. Wow, already a very beautiful room in the house.
Let's see what more we can find down here. See, there's one more room to the right here.
And here we come into some sort of a little bureau area. Yeah, that's how I can call
it because these people, they had their own business which they inherited from their parents.
As to our knowledge, this used to be a beekeeping business. We haven't found any documents
inside the house from the beekeeping business, but we know from sources that it definitely was a
beekeeping business that these people had. So here they had the desk where they performed all their
work. All their documents are still left here. Oh, here is something. It says, 'Honey, a natural
product.' Yes, exactly, and that's their address. So yes, they definitely had a beekeeping
business, and here is the confirmation for that. They also got a little emblem thanking them.
Wow, even more bills and everything are still left here. Beautiful to see it still standing
like that. Beautiful and sad at the same time. Their former business left to decay. I wonder what
happened to their business, if it's still around, if you can still get honey from them. And
here we see a lovely picture of Carolene standing in the kitchen of the house which we're
going to see later, but this was their poodle, and this was her, the lovely lady that
lived in this house. Drawings of the town." Wow, even more drawings of flowers up there,
and here to the side, we've got a little desk, presumably where they had lunch or maybe where
they invited clients to come and talk about new business opportunities and stuff like that.
Literally everything is left in this place – all the letters, all the plates, everything you can
imagine is still inside of here. This was where they kept all their important documents, all the
client details. And as you can see, they have binders with everything from those former times.
Literally, their business life is inside of here. Absolutely insane. A beautiful chandelier hanging
here in the middle of the room. And then we have this drawer down here with a couple of things on
top – some scarves and hats. Even the gloves of them [peacock feathers]. One device I really adore
is this pocket balancer that we have over here, probably to weigh all the produce that they made,
and also a nice thing to display inside of their office. Wow, you can see a little side room here,
probably a storage area for all the things. Not really super interesting. There's one more doorway
behind here, and that leads into the garage of this place. Look at that, all the washing is still
left here. It's still hanging on the drying rack. All her wash, so she probably washed it one last
time, hung it up, and never came to retrieve it. And I probably hear you thinking, why did the
children never come back to this place? But it's actually a very sad story because they had
one child named Monica, and Monica unfortunately inherited the house. But the inheritance taxes in
Belgium are very, very high. If you're a single child, you almost pay 50% of the price of the
house. And on top of that, they also had some debt collected over the years, so she wasn't able to
inherit the house. And then unfortunately, it got back to the debt collectors, and they did nothing
with it. So that's the very sad story about this place, and that's why it was left behind for
all these years. Right now, something like that shouldn't happen in my opinion. And now it's time,
everybody, to go into the main section of this household, up the stairway inside of their place.
Super excited to show you this house because, in my opinion, this is one of the best abandoned
and preserved places in my home country, Belgium. To my opinion, we have never found anything
that's remotely like this in this country. Wow, very small entranceway into the place.
And the first room I want to show you over here is the kitchen area because I find it a
very interesting and important room inside of the house. Look at this stained glass that we have
over here – the beautiful colors. They definitely had a lot of taste for designing this place.
And then we come into a very ordinary kitchen, in my opinion. Not something very special, but
still, here Carolene, Belles of Monica and JW, and as you can see, literally everything is
still in place from the last time that she cooked in here, from the last time that
she lived in here. The towels are still neatly stacked over there. Even she was still
recycling the bottles and the caps back then. It's crazy. Even the trash is still in the bin,
as you can see. That's how preserved this place is. The table where they had breakfast together
in the morning. And as you can see, one, two, three chairs – Jul, Monica, and Carolene – used
to have breakfast here in the morning together. You can still see them sitting around the
table. The coffee pots are still ready, the biscuits are still in here. It's absolutely
crazy. Wow, even behind here is a little patio. Presumably, they could sit here as well. It's
nice and sunny out there. But I already checked a little bit earlier, and unfortunately,
this door over here is completely locked, and we are unable to go over there. I love this
little box down here, and I see that there are all these notes inside of there. Can still open it a
little bit. Yeah, look at this – these are all the recipes that Carolene has written over the years.
Look at that – Paradise Cocktail. It's one lemon, ice cubes, and a little bit of alcohol, sugar,
and then she would make a nice cocktail for her husband back in the time. And this one is
to make Belgian waffles – all the ingredients and then the preparation of the waffles. I love
that they're all completely handwritten. She put a lot of time and effort into making these, and
now they're all left here and forgotten about. Even the oven still functions inside
of this place. You could probably just heat something up or something like that. Wow, it
looks very, very clean and new. Even the manual is still inside of here. That's crazy. Look at these
wonderful built-in cabinets with the stained glass again on top of them, worked into the cabinet.
And of course, what would you expect? They're still completely filled with everything they used
in this household – from the real Belgian syrup, of course, to the soups and everything they would
use in the kitchen. This is some crazy stuff, everybody. Let's go to the next room in
this place – an absolutely beautiful and eye-watering room. I think this room is truly
cozy and has also a lot of character. Look at the chandeliers on the ceiling, how
the crown molding up there is designed. I absolutely love it. And then they had this
dining table here in the middle of the room, the chairs around it. Everything in this room
just works, it just matches. I really enjoy it. I love this typical play that we have standing
up here, the candle next to it, and then they had this flower display down here. Let's open one
of these drawers. Of course, they're still... This is a very interesting thing. Look at that,
probably Monica wrote this for her. 'Télécommande G' – so this is the gray remote, it says over
here. And I assume that they also spoke French, or that they spoke French in general, because
everything over here is written in French – how you would control the remote. Everything is very
big so that Carolene could properly read it. That's a very cool thing to find. Even the Wi-Fi
code and stuff like that is still left here in this drawer. That's a beautiful thing to find.
Monica was probably very caring for her mother, and she also cared for her in the last years of
her life before she went into a resting home, where she unfortunately passed away. And see
over here, even the statements from her bank and everything are still here. It says 2006. This
was her wallet, still left here. And then again, a very, very big stack of papers left here.
I really love the dining table that we have around here with all the chairs neatly around it.
Wow, something drew my attention on this table, and that is this plate still filled with all
these coins. I was looking also at these coins, but they are Dutch coins – former Dutch coins.
These were guilders, and also, you can see Belgian Francs. So, these are all the former currencies
of Europe – of Germany, of France, of Belgium, of the Netherlands. Very interesting. I just
saw over here that there was a light switch. Let's see, of course, the lights in this room
also still function. What did you expect? Isn't that just crazy? Another little drawer here in the
corner of the room, beautiful art pieces on top of it. You can see there are still some keys inside
of there. They definitely had a fascination for ducks. I already saw a lot of ducks throughout
this house. Wow, beautiful pieces of furniture, probably also very expensive. You can see on the
wall here, I love the design – this fleur-de-lis design that they have on the wall here. They
also had it in the entrance hall, but there it was real. Here it's just an art piece, and
probably looks like it's painted on by somebody. Wow, it's amazing, and something else I also
noticed in this room is this little coat rack with Carolene's coats still hanging here, still
prominently hanging here. These she used to go out of the house with. She was a very fancy lady, as
you can see. Wow. And here are a couple of signs of decay. There's not much to see of abandonment
in this house. It hasn't been abandoned for that long – almost a decade. But these are the
first signs that this place is abandoned and left behind. And of course, also the cobwebs
over there. But now, behold yourself, everybody, because we're going to enter into a room that
you just won't believe – the living space of this household. An absolutely wonderful room designed
in every corner and every detail you can imagine. I absolutely adore it. This is where
the family came together in the evening, where they would sit together, talk
about their days, chitchat around. Yeah, let's start over here in this corner and let's
see what we have. A little waiter over here, but nothing down there anymore. Normally, they
would display alcohol bottles and stuff like that on there. It's just a couple of candles and some
décor as well down here, probably for those fancy dinners that would be held inside of this place.
Also, noticed something behind the door here. Oh, yes, this opens up into the kitchen, as you
can see – this backdrop. Yeah, as you can see, I just pushed it open. This is a little waiter,
I think, or how would you call it? Where you put food through and then you could take it out here
and serve it in this dining area – a beautiful extension of this house. I really adore it. Down
here, we have these radiators, and they have these water reservoirs on them – what a beautiful design
– a sign of a man riding a horse. Wow. And also, this arch-style doorway with the curtains
and everything – a true piece that makes this household what it is. A cabinet standing here
very prominently – the carved faces on there, the beautiful pieces of porcelain still
inside of it. It's a sin that everything like this is left behind in this place. This
shouldn't happen – this absolutely shouldn't. I really love this side table over here as well
with the marble on top – probably Italian marble. And then this sort of tea or coffee set down below
here, this copper tea or coffee set. Of course, it also still functions. That's one thing that
I've talked about a lot in my videos. But it's a thing from Belgium. We live in a socialist
society, so the government over here says nobody should be left without electricity. So,
what happens when even in a place gets abandoned or when people cannot pay for their electricity
anymore? People still get a minimum amount of electricity to turn on the lights, maybe to run
a washing machine or some small appliances. It's not much, but it's something to get you through
life a little bit, to get you back onto your feet. We just don't cut you off, and that's
a beautiful thing. But it's also something that you see a lot in abandoned places. Because
over here, the electricity also still functions, even though the place is abandoned. Right next to
it is a very prominent grandfather's clock. Wow, it still has a beautiful clock face inside of it.
'Tempus Fugit' is written on there. It sounds a little bit Italian. 'Tempus Fugit' is probably
Latin, but I don't know exactly what it means. I've studied Latin, but it's a long time ago.
Normally, in here, the guns would be stored, but now a little bit of junk is left in there.
Let's close this up. Isn't that wonderful? A picture left over here in the corner – this
woman attending a child. And here you can get another look into the backyard of this
place. And then, to this side of the room, we still have a small sitting area. And as you can
see, again, three chairs neatly in front of each other for the three family members that used
to live here. These were probably the chairs where they would sit the most and where they
would relax in the evening, talk to each other about their lovely days. I feel like this was the
chair of Juel, and I really adore the upholstery on here and the make of this chair in general –
an absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Wow, the rolling side table right underneath
here, and then the chandelier above it with the crown molding on the ceiling. Just the shape and
style of this room in general. I haven't really pointed it out that much, but I also love the
arches that we have back there – like the four arches that cave into each other. And also,
the stained glass windows in the back. I feel like this room and this house, in general, has a
bit of a Victorian feel. I don't know exactly if I'm right about that, but it feels a little
bit Victorian to me – maybe newer Victorian. But if somebody can correct me on the correct
style of this place, please let me know. Two beautiful chairs right in front of the fireplace
where Monica and Carolene most likely used to sit and talk about their days. We have a very
strange device still lying here – some sort of a grasping hook. I'm not 100% sure what it was
used for. Underneath this rocking side table, some really weird things left in this place.
Quick look at the fireplace – the tea kettle still on top of it. And then, everybody, we're
going to take you through these curtains into the corner of the house – one of the coziest
rooms I've ever seen. I just really adore the shape and style and feel of this room – how
it's decorated, the colors. This beautiful chandelier hanging there in the middle – as
you can see, still functioning. That's where I started the video. Wow, again over here to the
right, you can see the ducks coming back. They were big fans of ducks. I don't know who in the
house was such a big duck fan. As you can see, they're still over there. A little side table over
here with all the magazines still on top of it. Everything still left here and then this corner
bouquet over here with all the books that they used to read still inside of here. Have a look
at that. These, again, are all Dutch books. So, we just saw the French letter, and now we see
the Dutch books. So, I can safely assume that these people spoke multiple languages. It's very
common for Belgium. We also have a picture of some people over here. They look like very important
people to me. It's from 1947, as you can see, and another picture behind here as well. Let me
see if I can show it to you correctly. This might have been Monica. Sorry, this might have been
Carolene, and this man might have been Juel. I can see one more picture behind here. Wow, this
is a very, very old picture. It's made in Bruges, 1914. So, this was probably a forefather of the
family. Let's put them all back nicely over there where they belong. Let's close this up. Also,
have a look over here on the ceiling and on the walls – the beautiful decorations, the peacocks
that are painted up there. Wow. And then we have this cozy sitting area over here. The flowers
still on the table. I do think that these are plastic. Yeah, they are plastic flowers. And then
this very beautiful chandelier hanging here. I thought at first that it was made from wood, but
it's actually made from copper. Little curtain underneath here. Wow. I love how they decorated
this room. Look at this beautiful antique chair. Wow. Even the animal rock, the sheep wool still
on top of here. The tin plates behind it. Even the side lamp is the style of the room. And then they
had one more chair standing here in the corner, right next to the fireplace, where you
could heat up when you came back home. Before I'm going to take you up the stairway and
show you the most private parts of the household, I also noticed that there was a basement
over here to this side, behind this door. So, let's also have a look in there, because
normally you find some very interesting things in these basements. See, there's a little
light switch here. Of course, the light of the basement still turns on, and I feel some heat
coming from this basement. I don't know why. Wow. It looks like somebody still restocked this
basement or still lives here. As I said before, this house is completely untouched. Even
all the bottles of water, as you can see, are still here. The Belgian beer – the very
famous Jupiler Belgian beer – is left here. Even the Choco Mel and everything is still there.
Wow. This is crazy. I'm wondering if the fridge still works. It's still plugged in over there,
so maybe if we... Oh my God. The fridge still functions. There's even still butter inside
of here. It's probably not good anymore. No, this is expired in 2016. But that's literally
how long this has been lying here, forgotten about. It doesn't even smell. The freezer is
still full of meat, as you can see. You can see some meatballs over there, still in there.
Even ice cubes and everything is left there. Wow, that's absolutely crazy. Okay. And then
we have the main basement. It's sort of a food storage area for the house. Jesus Christ. I get a
very eerie feeling from this. That somebody could literally walk into this place at any moment and
start living here again. Or just come in here and say to me, 'Hey, you there. What are you doing in
my house?' But that's not the case because this person, as we have confirmed, passed away and
nobody lives here anymore. You literally have to think about that. It's crazy. Okay. Let's
see what's behind this door – a small hole, little storage area behind here. And I think some
wine and stuff like that might have been stored here back in the day. Wow. I can't get over it.
I can't get over this basement. It's now time, everybody, to take a look at the upstairs of the
house. And I already really adore this stairway leading up. And again, all the leaves around
it – presumably hand-painted, hand-decorated. As you can see, even a telephone over here in the
corner. Wow. These people – they were very rich. As you can see, every single detail in this
place has been thought about. Unfortunately, their business declined over the years. But
back in their heyday, these people were one of the wealthiest, probably, of their neighborhood.
Even this lovely statue that we have here leading up in the stairway with a light fixture on top
of there. No single expense has been spared. Spared beautiful paintings or beautiful pictures
of these churches on the wall. People back in those time periods were very religious. In the
19th and 20th century, Belgium was very religious. Now, that religion has declined. Back then,
people would go to church every single week. Wow, here we come into the first bedroom of the
upstairs, and I assume that this bedroom might have been Carolene's, their daughter, back in the
time. A beautiful bedroom, and again, you can see all the design features coming in here as well –
the crown molding and the levels and everything that's designed over here. Even that doorway back
there, I will give you a deeper look later on. But here you can see a single bed where presumably
Carolene used to sleep when she still lived here. And she even lived here a couple of years
when her mother was in bad health. But later, her mother went to a resting home because it
was just unacceptable for her to still live in this house. It was just too dangerous. All
her belongings are still left behind – from her glasses to her small radio. Even her cross,
as you can see, is still lying here. Wow. I adore this letter opener that we have over here –
Bullon. It's probably a souvenir from somewhere, from Boulogne of course in France. Still made bed
over here. Then even all her VHS tapes that she used to watch – all the movies and everything
– are still here. And I assume that there also used to be a television on top of there back
in the time. A small table – most likely she lived here as well, and then she could do her
work. You can even see some medical boxes. Oh, this one is directed to somebody named Arus. I'm
not a doctor, so I have no clue what these are for. But this one is directed to Carolene, as you
can see, and it's one tablet a day. At the end of her life, she got very sick and she needed to use
a lot of medicine. That's why she also needed to move into a resting home and unfortunately
passed away a couple of years later when she was 87 years old. We've seen a lot of these
animal skins all throughout the house. Wow, they are coming back everywhere. Light
fixture here on the wall. Let's see if there's still something in the cabinet. Yeah,
there's a lot of clothing still left in here. Oh my, these are all boxes for jewelry.
Jeez, there is still even jewelry inside of here. That's crazy. There's a small cross
from December 1960 left in here. These are probably all very important items for them.
Wow, that's beautiful. Can you believe that something like that is left behind in a
house like this? The years of abandonment have collected dust on top of this cabinet,
and I find this a very retro-looking cabinet, in my opinion, doesn't match with the house at
all. And there's a doorway as well over here. I love how the arches have levels and how they are
encaved into the wall. A very beautiful feature. Wow, a little vanity – oh, what do I say? A
little vanity is actually a very big vanity. Wonderful table lamp next to here – this child
reading a book. These beautiful crystals on top of here again. Ducks coming back, swans coming
back. We have this man. This picture is from the year 2004 – that's from the time that she was
still alive. That's actually the year that she passed away. I don't know if this man over here
that we're seeing in front of us was Jewel, but it could have been. It could have been Jewel. Wow.
And this over here used to be the fireplace – the place where the fireplace was inside of this room.
But they put this piece of furniture later here. This is an accountancy desk – a secretary desk. I
don't know if it still opens. No, it doesn't open anymore. A lot of things above there – these
candle holders and Maria statue. Oh, and a very vintage and old family picture we have over
here. Made in Hong Kong, it says on the back. Wow. Probably the older... itself. I think this is the
fiction of the city of Bruges – a very beautiful medieval city in Belgium. Wow, very, very nice
things inside of this house. A daddy bear – don't know if Monica had children, this might have been
from them. Wow, so many medicines left in here. Of course, I also want to look what's behind that
doorway over there – beautiful red doorway. Oh yeah, okay, it still opens up. It's like a corner
room in here. A very bland room, in my opinion – also still neat, as you can see. But I think
this might have been a guest room or something. Three windows overlooking the back of the house.
Wow, that looks like it used to be an oil lamp, but then they changed it up to put a light fixture
inside of there. A bow hanging there – wow, beautiful but very ordinary room. This one doesn't
want to open up anymore. Let's see what's behind here – sort of a storage area. Their suitcases
and everything are still standing down there. This pink doorway – oh my God, let's see what's in
this one here. That would keep all the pillows and the bed linen and stuff like that. This reminds
me of some sort of a room from a castle where you have like these tower rooms. That's the first
thing I saw when I came into this room. I was like, 'Oh, this reminds me of a tower room
from a castle.' And then right next to it, attached to this room, is actually a toilet
– probably a toilet for everybody upstairs. The wallpaper up there – oh, and then I think
from this room, from this toilet room, yes, we come right back again into the hallway
of the house. Okay, let's see where this is going to lead us. Let's see what's next
behind here. I see one last room over there, but there's also one more over to
this side. Let's check this out first. Oh yes, and this is the main bathroom of the
house, as you can see, with the bathtub and you everything has been fitted out, everything
has been adjusted for Carolene, who got very old back but and at the end of her life and
wasn't able to get in the bathtub anymore, so they put a seat in for her to get washed.
All these seats in here are probably for her. Even the bath towel is still hanging
from the side of the bathtub. Wow, I want to test the water still functions.
No, that doesn't function anymore. Wow, even this pedicure chair is standing here in
the corner, with all the things still left next to it – her toothbrushes, her files, her
everything is still standing here. And probably, Monica would pedicure her mother here in
this chair. Oh my, all these beauty products. That's absolutely insane. I just noticed,
before we go into the last room of the house, there's this little thing hanging here in the
hallway with a little verse on it that they probably wrote themselves. It says over here,
'Unite, you children of the household. Know how long you will be together. Taste brotherly
love and sisterly love, I think. Also, cherish the moments that you are together.' So, it's a
very nice verse depicting and emphasizing that you should cherish the moments you have together
with your brothers, sisters, and your family. Wonderful, a cross is hanging above the master
bedroom of this place. This is where Julian and Carolene probably spent their entire lives,
living together as the loving couple that used to reside here. Again, there's a sort of vanity
setup, but it's actually a secretary desk. This is probably where Monique, or Carolene,
made herself beautiful in the morning. Let's see if there's still something inside
here. Even a wallet and everything are still left in here. I love this little tissue
that has the 'M,' probably from Monique, and brought it in there. Even a wallet and
everything are still left here. Oh my gosh, this is completely falling apart. Okay, I got
it back in place. As you can see, the bedroom itself—the bed is still made, the animal sheet
is still on top of it, the pillows are still at the end, ready for another peaceful night
of sleep. Let's look in the cabinet. Oh my, her clothes are still hanging inside here.
I always find that to be a crazy sight. Then, there's a chandelier right above the bed
in this room. Actually, it's a very spacious room inside the house. They also had this section to
the right with all these different things. And, of course, even more cabinets over here. There's
a dividing screen, a bolster chair down there, and I'm not sure what this room back here might
have been. I haven't seen—oh no, it's a little storage area. Here again, you can see this has
fallen over. Again, you can witness the decay inside this place. The wallpaper is peeling off,
and there's also a bit of mold inside. This is the only mold we have encountered. There's a small
suitcase standing here, covered in spiderwebs. It seems like there are knitting supplies
and other items like that inside. Wow, a lovely drawer over here in the corner.
Everything from her is still here. Oh, I love this picture that we have lying underneath
here. Oops, I'm dropping stuff. Let me just put it back nicely. The hairpins of Carolene,
multiple hairpins. But I was looking at this picture. This picture of a car, a Fiat 500. And
here we can see Kene standing right next to it. This was probably her car, the one she drove
around with, went to her business with, and stuff like that. A beautiful memory and something
that shouldn't be left behind in these places. And then we have a little side table by the bed,
an old nightstand. There's a date from a calendar, the 21st of July. It's a national holiday in
Belgium. The Band-Aids and everything are still lying here. Let's look underneath here. This thin
box, isn't this one absolutely beautiful? Wow, I really adore it. Okay, as always,
we put everything back like we found it. The last book that Caroline used
to read, 'The Art of Living Life.' We just made it outside of this place. Have a
look at the wonderful exterior of this beautiful abandoned mansion. I really adored going
through here and seeing this unique place in Belgium. I want to thank Caroline, Julian,
and Monica, the people who lived in this place, for their lives and the opportunity that
we got to document their lives and bring it to the internet forever. If you liked this
