Chateau Milles Chambre, a captivating
masterpiece known as the castle with 1000 rooms. The castle is discreetly set, yet perfectly
positioned. Its design takes in magnificent, far reaching views over the surrounding
landscape of rolling, wooded hills and valleys. For over 900 years, the Fayolle family
has proudly protected this cherished land, their connection to the castle's illustrious
history spanning through generations. Chateau Milles Chambre's history dates
back to 1143, when a medieval stronghold was erected on the site. Throughout
the turbulent Hundred Years War, it endured attacks and witnessed the struggle
between the French and English. Rebuilt in the 15th century as a fortified castle, it
fell under English occupation until it was looted and burned down in 1485. Reconstruction
efforts in the 18th and 19th centuries brought forth the magnificent structure that stands
today, showcasing a blend of architectural styles and rich historical significance. This
enduring castle, with its golden sandstone and intricate woodwork, stands as a testament
to the centuries of grandeur and resilience. The castle boasts 25 exquisite
bedrooms, 6 enchanting bathrooms, and a captivating entrance hall, all set amidst
over 500 hectares of perfectly positioned land. Its thoughtfully designed architecture
allows for breathtaking views of the rolling hills that surround it, creating
a truly magnificent and serene atmosphere. Join us on an enchanting journey as we explore
every corner of this architectural masterpiece, which now stands as the largest
abandoned castle in the world. Welcome back everybody to the
Bros of Decay! I am Lesley and, as usual, behind the camera we have Mr. Danny. "Hello everyone," Danny interjects, "Today we
are filming an incredible abandoned castle. This one is just majestic, nestled in the
countryside of France with 900 years of history. It's built on the foundations
of a 12th-century medieval fortress, and the current building was
constructed in the 18th century." In my opinion, this is one of the most
beautiful abandoned castles in France. "Yes," Danny agrees, "this is breathtaking.
I've never seen a castle this huge with so many pristine rooms. Your mind is going to be
blown. We're working hard to bring you all these beautiful documentaries, so definitely subscribe
to the channel, because we're not done yet!" Just look at the hallway we're standing in right
now; it's absolutely breathtaking. High ceilings, everything in here - if I'm not mistaken - is made
out of marble. "Right," Danny confirms, "Well, not the walls. The walls are golden sandstone. But
the floors are wild marble, as are the stairs." It's absolutely incredible; these stairs are
already 300 years old. "Yes," Danny adds, "It's massive. Back in time, there used to be
a grand chandelier here in the middle of the room. You know what this hallway reminds
me of? The Palace of Versailles. Only a smaller version. But this place is also
way older, and with way more history." You can also see taxidermy animals on the wall.
This place is in a very well-renowned hunting area in France, and a lot of hunting gatherings
were held here. "Yeah," Danny agrees, "The family were hunters. You can see it everywhere."
I love these crown molding pieces here in the wall, above the door. They're not weapon crests;
they're just decoration pieces. This place used to be owned by the Favoli family - a French family.
It's hard to pronounce. But 900 years of history, these buildings belonged to the same
family. Never changed, which is crazy. Let's go into this room. I want to showcase to you
the dining space of this place. A very important room back in the day in the castle, and also
a very beautiful room, in my opinion. If it's already beautiful now, imagine back in the day.
We have to address that a lot of stuff that was inside has already been taken out to be sold or
saved. This place is going to be sold very soon, but it's on the market for 13.5 million euros.
I will leave a link in the description for people who might be interested in such a
place because it needs saving, of course. The first thing I want to point out in this room
is this beautiful oakwood table. This table has been here since the castle was constructed in
1766. It's as old as this castle, and it's still standing. An interesting fact about this table is
that it has instructions on the bottom - although you cannot see them - on how to make it larger and
smaller, depending on the size of the gathering. Have you also seen these beautiful upholstered
chairs here? They are simple but beautiful. Up there, I want to point out the
couple of brass - or perhaps iron, as it's rusty - chandeliers. And also, the
crown molding at the top there is beautiful. There's an elephant in the room: a beautiful
marble statue. Wait, it's porcelain, surrounded by this marble sort of high fireplace.
The fireplace itself is incredible. I love how the marble has these veins. Every single piece in this
house is of prominence, worth thousands of euros. Finally, I want to showcase the curtains
over here. This beautiful red velvet is typical of French castles but looks very beautiful
in this one as well. And you probably wanted to point out the paintings above the doorways. In
every room, they tell a story. These are bespoke paintings, custom-made for every single room.
In this room, the dining room, they're about food. You can see a butcher at work here, some meats
hanging on the wall, a dog with a bone - very interesting. The plaster ceiling is incredible.
Let's remember that places like these had a whole team of people working here to serve
everybody, to maintain this chateau and the priceless antiques that were inside. It would
take not hundreds but thousands of people. If you can make a cabinet with velvet, imagine
what you can do with a bedroom. I'm just teasing people right now; the bedrooms are insane.
Let's see over here. I'm just going to walk through it because I think these are the kitchen
areas. There's definitely a stairway over here already that leads up, but we're going to go
up later. It's probably a servant's stairway. Then here, we have a lot of fridge
space, kitchen space, and cabinet space. We're, of course, always very respectful of
these places and try to leave them exactly how we found them. Yeah, there's a lot of echo in
here. This hallway is very echoing. But we also have to say one thing: we're making this video
with total respect for the family. Absolutely. Because they're trying to sell this place and
keep it as it is, but it's really hard because it's huge. Imagine selling something in the
middle of nowhere that's worth 13.5 million Euros. That's absolutely crazy. I love this
painting. I must say, it's a bit on a simple, cartoonish side, but I really like it.
Look at this built-in grandfather clock here; it's literally worked into the wall. There's
no clock piece in there anymore, but it's crazy. I think they must have stored all their
hunting guns in here for sure. It's the grandest wall clock that I've ever seen. It's the most
beautiful, and yeah, it's different in the world. Want to see this room? So, it's very prevalent
in French castles; you always see it. There's one main room that leads to multiple rooms,
and they all connect to each other. Here, we have the main hallway that connects
to every single dining room. This room, I think, used to be the lounging room, if
I'm not mistaken. A salon, it's called. And from here, you can see those shutters in
the back. They would all open up, and they open up to a balcony that's behind here. We'll show
you the outside of the castle at the end. When I first saw this castle dome up in the distance,
it's so huge from the house. Leslie is proof that when I saw it, I was like, 'What am I seeing?' It
looks like a monster on a hill. It is a monster. Look at the paintings here above the doors;
you can see angels in this painting sort of lounging. They're lying down, so this also
tells a story that this is the salon room, the place where you can relax. It's
the art room where you can listen to music. It's the relaxing room where you can
just stay and relax. I think, in the time, there must have been musical instruments in
here, or maybe a grand piano or something. Look how beautiful this room is. Isn't this
pink really pink? Show off the chairs as well. Let's look at the paintings on the walls.
You can also showcase the crown molding. Here, you see the angels on the wall
above the door. They're making music, and like we told before, they're telling a
story. Also, on the walls here, we have this sort of plaster 3D work, and they depict musical
instruments like flutes and other instruments. Look at these grand mirrors here, Danny.
Aren't they fascinating? Do you know why there are so many mirrors inside
of a room, especially this one? Mirrors reflect, which makes the room
appear larger. So, if you're, for example, just looking at the mirror, you see immediately
that it creates the illusion of a bigger space. That's why there's a mirror on every wall of this
room. It's quite interesting. Right now, the room is very empty; back in the day, it would have had
chairs, tables in the middle, and huge carpets on this floor. Imagine just having the shutters open,
filling the room with light - it would have been incredible. The chandelier that must have
hung in here would also have been impressive. What a cool room! But the next one that
we're going to show you is even better. I'm going to slowly close everything
as we move through the rooms. The stairway is for later; we'll take it up then. I really love how this home looks. Did you
notice those windows up there? There's a grand bench standing here on the floor.
Oh wow, I love this! There's a flower here. It's beautiful. The upholstery... well,
it's kind of just a cushion on this big sofa. As you can see, every single piece in
this place is an antique and intricately designed. I love the carvings on this
one. It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Oh, yeah, this is what I want to show. I was originally thinking about
showing another room first, but this one is even more incredible. I feel like we have to show this
room right now. People are dying to see a bedroom. I also love how the doorways are constructed, so
authentic. Have you noticed that from the hallway to here, everything got smaller? Under the stairs,
we are under the stairs right now. I'm about 5 feet 11 inches, approximately 1.80 meters, and you
can see that everything got a little bit smaller. You won't believe this bedroom. It's absolutely
incredible. I, myself, have seen such a bed in a museum somewhere in Europe, but never in an
abandoned place. I always call these 'heaven beds,' but they are just magnificent bedrooms
that portray royalty. From the sheets on the bed, they look handmade. If you look into it,
it looks like they're pieced together, carefully stitched. Everything in here is made
so beautifully. It also looks like the people who slept in this bed were really small. It's a
very small bed. I also think this was for a child, most likely, but I'm not going to assume anything.
Look at this backrest here; there's even a crest up there. And, you know, because
this is on a wall, you can call this a tapestry. If you look into it again, these
small details, you can see that it's made of very different types of fabrics. It's so
crazy. I just love how the top piece protrudes over the length of the bed. That
gives it a very fairy-tale-like experience. The back here on the wall seems very
plain. If you're focusing on it, it looks like a wall. This is actually used to
be a complete bespoke tapestry. I'm not sure from where the tapestry was, but it's a French
region that made tapestries back in the time. We will put the name on the screen. They, of
course, have been taken out. They were super valuable. I don't know if they sold it or saved
it, but they were taken out. That's for sure. Let's take a look at the artworks on the wall. They don't depict what happens here
in the bedroom, though. They depict more of a dinner party in this room.
Don't forget, this family was known for joy, for parties, for gatherings. Weddings would
be held in this castle. Parties and balls would be held here. It's absolutely incredible. So, all
the depictions and paintings are going to be of parties, of gatherings. It's not going to be
just one person; it's going to be multiple. As you can see here, the angels are sitting, looking at each other. I like this
one. This shows a hunting heritage. Two angels shot a deer or a hound or something.
It looks like a dog, but I hope it's not. Another thing to note, every single place in this
home, because it was built in the 1700s-1800s, also has a fireplace. These places can get very
cold in the winter, so they needed a fireplace. The castle is built of cold sandstone, which is
very cold. If you look from the outside, the stone is big, massive, and not normally hot, but cold.
It's actually great because, in summer, it gets very hot here, so it's nice to have a cool place.
But in the winter, it can also get very cold here. Might as well just say it, they normally
put tapestries on the wall to warm up the rooms. That's why, exactly. We're going
to see a lot of rooms with tapestries. Here's the bathroom connecting to it. This
place has 25 bedrooms and six bathrooms. Most bathrooms are shared and big. Because
this place is well known in the urban scene, we call it 'Mill Chamber,' which actually
means 'a thousand rooms.' This place has so many rooms; you're not going to believe it.
Okay, let's carry on to the next one then. Let's close this one again. There's another
section to this side, but I'm not going to show everything inside of this place
because, like I told you just a moment ago, it has a thousand rooms, and we're only going
to focus on the very interesting ones of this place. Yeah, there are some rooms that
are empty, sometimes they are decayed, and sometimes they are closed, so
we're just going to show you the best. Look at this, guys. Behind this
door is their private wine cellar, which is still filled with hundreds of bottles of
vintage wine. Look at that. I want to take one of those out. Let me just go inside. Watch out,
there are also bottles on the floor. It smells like wine in here, really strong. Look at those
bottles. It's Blanc, so that's white, white wine. Oh my god, they're all so dusty and
old and they have been in here forever. Looking at the wealth of this family, there
must be some really good ones in here, and also very expensive. We have to mention
that this is the wine cellar upstairs. There's another wine cellar downstairs which is smaller
and doesn't have as many bottles, but still. I'm even welcoming you into a really beautiful
room of this place, and actually very unique for France. This is one of the only castles in France
that has a theater inside of the castle. This was a space for the family to be able to entertain
their guests because, like we told before, these people were all about parties and all
about having an interesting, good time and entertainment. They literally ordered to build
this wonderful theater to entertain their guests. This theater is very special. Every single piece
of this theater has been hand-painted and crafted. Just take it in. Take a quick look
at it. It's absolutely incredible. It's so special, especially because the paintings
on the wall, you guys right now, cannot see it on camera. Not even me, I cannot see it. But they
have a 3D effect. If I do this, you can see that every painting is slightly tilted. Exactly, it's
just to make the 3D effect to make it bigger. Yeah, it's not actually that big, this stage, but
it appears bigger due to this. There's also a sun projected here in the top of the theater, which
is a very unique piece of this. And not only the sun but also the crown molding around it. And
the paintings, if you go down, you have these kind of fake curtains painted here to divide it.
Like I told you before in the other room, this was also the venue where multiple weddings
would be held, and I think even family members got married in here. That's super interesting. We're
standing on 900 years of history of these people, from their Medieval times all the way
to the modern ages. When we say 900, it's because that's the age of the actual walls of
the castle. The castle burned down, but the actual walls of the castle, the golden sandstone walls,
are still the same. The architect preserved them; they weren't demolished, so it's literally here.
A very interesting fact about this room is, you can also see the empty spaces on the wall.
They all used to be bespoke tapestries, custom made. Some were made in Brussels, some of them
were made here in France. They were all placed here on the wall. If I can find a photo of this
room with the tapestries, I have to put it on, because the room with the tapestries and the
chairs that were in here would come to life. Look at this wonderful bench also here in
the corner, a beautiful piece of antique. And let's also... oh, you see the drawing,
something... Back in the day, this was very usual. Architects and people that were building
this place would draw stuff on the walls just for fun because they knew there was going to be
painted or covered. So they just drew something, and there are calculations, a palm tree, these
drawings could be more than 250 years old. Most likely, because the walls were always
covered, imagine a worker of this place 250 years ago just having fun and drawing
on the wall here. That's such a crazy thought actually. And we are sure there were
workers because there's no single graffiti or vandalism in this place, absolutely zero.
Let's look at the paintings as well above the doorways. We have an angel with a bow
and arrow sitting here and, on this side, we have another angel holding a statue, a
bust. Exactly, a bust and liquor cabinets. Inside there, of course, is wonderful. What
a beautiful room! I absolutely adore it. This is so incredible. I forgot to point out
one thing, can I jump on stage? Absolutely, I'm going to jump on stage. It's crazy back here
because they didn't want to make an empty wall. Instead, they ordered to paint a complete wall.
It looks like a beautiful castle, and the castle is crazy. I think this is a real castle, but
I cannot point out which one. I've never seen it before. It could be a fairy tale, I don't know,
but it doesn't matter. It's wonderful, and just for them to think of the details of painting
the backdrop wall, the background, it's crazy. Music instruments are carved into the wall here, wonderful. And then, of course, you can walk
through. Here we get to see the backstage of the theater, and you can also see that
they painted the backstage. It's so crazy, I love it. We also have to say one thing. In
these French castles and French houses or manors, all the rooms connect to each other. It's a French
thing, connecting everything, so privacy is zero in these places. But it's not about privacy,
it's just easier to go around. This is a maze, we can get lost. I already learned the layout
of the castle a little bit by going through it. Look at this room, this is one of the most
important rooms in the entire house. This is the library, a very common room you would
see in abandoned castles all throughout France and the world. But this one is unique in
and of itself because most books in here are one of a kind. The books here have thousands
of years of family history, world history, French history, everything. It's amazing. And,
as I said, they are one of a kind. There are no copies, and they are just standing here. Some of
them are falling apart, some of them are good. When I came into this room for the first time,
the smell, the atmosphere, everything inside of this room just screams, 'This is a true
French library.' Let's have a look around. We can already see some of those family history
books. Here's a dictionary of two nations. I'm going to carefully grab it out. I don't think
I should open it, it's very moldy. Oh my God, one looks like a Bible. The letters are so small.
I'm going to carefully place it back. That's why I'm wearing gloves. I don't want to contaminate
anything in these places. These books here, 'W. Scott,' they are both about children, it
says over here. There are books from every author. Even a French flag is lying here. Of
course, these people were proud French people. You can see the desk of the former
owner, with still a piece lying here. This book is 'The Roman
Art,' it says on the front. I'll be very careful. You can see the big
letter L here, so it belongs to the first. Beautiful. Every single book... Also, there's a
railing here, and here, where you could slide the cart over stairs like you see in
libraries. Yeah, it's true. It's a ladder. One thing we also have to point out in
this library is the ceiling. It's a very unique type of wood. Actually, the wood is from
all over. The wood is literally just a bunch of wood that they had, but it's unique. And
this was not actually meant for this library. No, excuse me. I remember the history again.
So, this ceiling here came from one of the family's other castles and was placed inside
of here. They made it fit this castle. So, this family didn't just have one castle. They had
multiple properties and they were vastly wealthy, powerful. And this ceiling is one of a
kind because back in the day they wouldn't make a lot of these. And it's just beautiful,
everything with it. It's so crazy. From there, you can maybe point out the chandelier
here in the middle. Also very different. Yeah, this looks like a newer piece to me.
Like, I see a cartwheel in here of some sort. I'm not 100% sure. I'm not sure either.
This looks very... This one looks childish. At first, I thought this was a billiards
table, but this is actually the place where you place your books and do your work and
read everything. So it's a velvet-topped table. Yeah, and you know why it has this? To not damage
the books. No, for the books to not slide. Like if you place a book, it will not slide even if I try
to push it. This was also used for tables to play cards because they don't slide. Your card then
stays. Ah, the Colonial Atlas of France. Wow, oh my god.
Oh yeah, the colonies they had, Danny, you don't even realize. This book still depicts
Africa divided up into just around 10 to 15 parts, as you can see when it was still in colonial
times. France was way bigger. It's almost double the size. No, it's a little bit bigger.
They also have the colony in South America. Yeah, there's not as many countries now. There
are 192 countries, but it was way less back in the time. Madagascar belonged to France. I
didn't know that. They speak French there. There's actually a lot of places in the world
where people speak French. Yeah, that's true. Wow, so crazy that it's still here. French history
is vast, and you can still see it to this day. Wow, those books are like... Yeah, I'm just going to point out this
corner here that is full of spiders, full of spider webs and falling apart. Imagine
getting a book from the top shelf there. Must not be easy. No. Oh, I love these
ones. "New Illustrations" it says on there, but they are so beautiful. Look at those
books. Oh my god. Oh, this one. This one is "The World Illustrations 1864." 1860, wow. These books are...
It is a journal, even Danny. Oh, it's somebody's journey. On this
accountancy journal of the castle, at the letter... It's really
hard to see on camera, but... I cannot say it, but it's a top-to-bottom full
of books. Yeah, I've never seen a huge library like this. You can see, the height is like triple
the usual height. Yes, there's one more room over to this side. I think it was maybe just to
read a book over here in silence. Just a salon, or sitting room. But back in the time, it had way
more paintings, and it was absolutely beautiful. Look at that, all those illustrations on the wall. Down here, we even have some personal memories
left behind. You can see two people sitting over there. Don't know who they are. I'm not sure. Look
at how over there, you can see a colonel, I think, and another woman. I love this one already. Look
at that, it's a typical French town. Very typical, absolutely. And this looks like
pictures from the revolution, or maybe from the second world war. I
think it's from the French Revolution. Yeah, so I think it's a general, I'm not quite
sure. Of course, all the cassettes are lying here like we would expect. I love the labels
that they have on it. Can I show better? Yeah, that's so beautiful, also how it's written.
It's just... Ah, yeah. So it's crazy. Yeah, it's more over here, more
books stacked inside of here. All the illustrations above
there, so royal, so beautiful. And I also want to point out that in this room,
it's not wallpaper. No, it's kind of a carpet, but it's deteriorating. This material, it's not as
strong as velvet or wallpaper. It's deteriorating really fast, and it's really sad to see. It's
actually again to make the room feel and actually be less cold. Yeah, true.
Wow, French drawings are just left here under the spider webs. And I
love that they have one of those French dogs, but in porcelain. It's a little bit broken. And then over to this side, of course, the
fireplace in the corner. Imagine, Danny, sitting here on a chair by the fireplace with a book that
you just took from the library. It's incredible. Bellow still lying on top of
it. The bellow has the same... Exactly, it matches! Oh, all those
vials up there look like inkwells. Yeah, oh wow, look at this. That woodwork on the
fireplace is beautiful, it's incredible. And the tile work, and then the date... We
even have a date, 1718, with a royal crest in there. Maybe it came from their former
castle because this one was built in 1766. Yeah, not finished in the '70s.
It started construction in 1725, right? No, there's no date for starting the
construction, I think. Yeah, we're not sure about that. But it's crazy. Whatever, there's
way more to show so let's waste no more time. I also want to showcase the basement in
this castle, which we're going to access through the stairway here. Again, from the
hallway, showing you that everything connects. Somebody was also interested in aerial
photography, as you can see. This is one of those cases where people photographed with a helicopter,
or it looks like it because it's panoramic in those times. And they photographed their
fields and put them here. This property has 550 acres of land, and probably this is part of the
land. Oh my god, the wall is falling off here. Oh yeah, you can see the stone
we're constantly talking about. Oh, we get into the servants' kitchen
here. Oh my god, look at how grand it is! And it's right underneath the dining space.
I also love the curved ceilings in the areas here. You can see this was most likely the dining
table, not the preparation table for the food that was consumed upstairs. And this was where it
all was made. Oh, I love it, it's beautiful. Oh, a bat just flew into the fireplace. By the
way, the chimneys of this castle are huge. Yeah, they are huge. All these bottles
of wine here, pots and pans, everything left there. Okay, I want
to see what's behind here. Oh, here you go, underneath the castle. These are those wine cellars that we were
talking about. This is under the castle. This is actually the original foundation
of the castle. Yeah, exactly, this is the 1700 and that 1146 foundation from the Medieval
Times. I just want to see if we can go further. Yeah, because all of this castle goes
further and further. All these castles have these dungeons underneath.
Oh my god, oh wow, oh my god! Oh, this is a coal storage, Danny. Oh my god,
it's still full, tons and tons of coal left here. My god, that's for the fireplaces back in
the time. You can even still see the coals lying on the floor. Pathways leading everywhere. Oh, and yeah,
over here, we just entered into the wine cellar where the barrels were stored. Actually, there aren't many left of them, but they
definitely produced some wines in this place. Let's see what's behind here because it goes
even further. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. This is just an exercise going through this. God,
this place is so big, it didn't even look like cells, you know. Yeah, they
look like prison cells. In here is another wine storage with
still bottles left in there. Oh my gosh. Yeah, and then at the end, we come to another wine
storage as you can see. Wow, that's beautiful. It's time, Danny. Take everybody upstairs and show
the private part of the castle, the bedrooms. I'm just in awe by this hallway and how it connects
to everything. Yeah, it's so incredible. It's so grand. There are little corridors leading
everywhere with doorways around every corner. Beautiful! I also love all the railings
that we have over here. It feels like a grand train station or something.
Yeah, it feels like it's grand. It's just grand. Okay. From up here, we can get an
overview of the hallway itself. You can see all the doors
connecting to everything. God, it's incredible. Okay, again,
we have to point out the antlers. They shot so many animals over time. And
if you look at them, it looks like they are looking at you, almost as if they are
judging you for some reason. As you can see, there must have been way more back in time.
There are still so many hooks left behind. Wow, Danny, and everyone watching right now,
prepare yourself because you're going to see one of the most beautiful bedrooms
ever seen in your life. Literally, look at this room, isn't it absolutely
incredible? This is by far the most beautiful bedroom that I've ever seen. When I
saw the picture of this one, I had to come to this place. I did everything to see it. It's
breathtakingly beautiful, crazy, and royal. Imagine being a child living in this place
and being able to sleep in this bedroom. Everything matches each other. Everything
has been thought about and carefully crafted to create this bedroom. The walls match
the curtains, the curtains match the bed, and they all match the furniture.
Even this praying chair matches. I love the design that looks like a frame inside
of a wallpaper. However, it's not wallpaper, it's fabric on the wall. Everything is like a
mirrored image of each other on either side. We have this bed and then this curtain above,
which again gives that fairytale-like feeling. Another thing that we have to point out is the bed, it's half wood, half porcelain.
That's incredible. I literally have no words. Give an overview of these two beautiful beds,
Danny. We're never going to find a better bedroom than this, I think. Also, the chandelier,
it's a bit simple but really beautiful. I cannot get enough of those curtains. Imagine having to create such a bedroom, even the
vanity, the wonderful chair in front of it, and the cushion. It's quite heavy,
really. Even the book here matches. This is definitely a princess room. Every
room in this castle is a princess room. Have we pointed out the family emblem
on the fireplace screen? It has the same pattern as the rest. What a beautiful
marble fireplace. Then the artwork above, again of a lady swinging in the garden. Like
we said before, it's happy vibes coming all throughout this place. Every painting in each room
has a different color scheme to match the room. Even the wardrobe here looks like a porcelain
wardrobe. It's so fragile-looking. It looks very fragile on camera, like a little porcelain
piece. There are a few more things in this room, like a little box that they could store stuff
inside, really cool, also made in the same style. And then those chairs behind you,
Danny, they look so fragile, very thin. Definitely give an overview. I almost cry
when I see this room. I never want to leave. It literally looks like we are walking
through a museum. It is a museum. I truly wish that they transformed this into a museum
because it's worth it. Or a hotel. Watch out, we're coming here into a dressing room
next to it. I think all the clothes would have been in here, and maybe
they would dress up at some point. There are so many rooms connecting. It's like a
true labyrinth in this place. See this one? It connects to another bedroom. As you can see,
this one has a lot of stuff removed, but it's the same style as the one that we
saw downstairs. Really beautiful bed. It resembles the same style. And I think the walls
are empty now because they took it out. As you just saw, we came from that children's bedroom
right into here without any privacy. Amazing, isn't it? I feel incredibly royal walking
through this place, so noble. No way, I would love to purchase this, but
I don't have 13.5 million euros. This is like a sort of lounging salon here
in the middle of the hallway upstairs, really cool. The cabinets are filled with
porcelain over there, it's quite a showcase. Also, there are very unique pieces.
Everything in this house is unique. It used to be a very nice space in the castle.
Let's head over to this side now. Why not? Because I have another wonderful room to show
you. This room, I think, is better than the other one. In my opinion, it's not. For me, the
most beautiful room is the one we just saw, but this is definitely Dennis's favorite
room. Wow, not only is it colorful, but it's also a piece of art. I'm not even lying
when I say this, we are not joking, every single wall in this place has been hand painted. No,
this is wallpaper, it's 'Chinoiserie' wallpaper. I'm not sure how to say it, but 'Chinoiserie'
is when European artists recreate Asian style in their works. That's what you can see over
here, sort of an Asian style in the wallpaper. It's peeling off a little bit here. It's peeling
off in a lot of places because this wallpaper, and I think it's wallpaper, I'm not quite sure
what it is, was displayed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York and then brought
back. That's why it's very damaged. I mean, it's beautiful that they took it there,
but at the same time, they damaged it a lot. There are little hidden rooms in this place.
As you can see, there's a washstand hidden behind here. I love how castles always have these
sorts of hidden rooms everywhere. If you didn't open it, you wouldn't see it. Everything is so
perfectly woven into each other. If you look in every corner, there are more rooms. There are
too many to point out all of them. You can see the beds are also incredible. I love that they have
a small curtain up there, it looks like a web. Again, a very small bed, and this
is a slate bed. As you can see, it even has a marking at the top. There's an
'F' and an 'L', I think. I'm not sure. The 'F' is probably for the family name. I also
love the bed sheets, really beautiful. And then, there's a nightstand in the middle. Again, we can have a look at that wallpaper.
It's a large sort of French landscape. No, actually it depicts an Asian landscape.
I love how everything is so symmetrical in this place. It's meticulously thought out. It's
bespoke, like we said before. It's custom made. Even the curtains over there match
the room. They match the chairs, they match the bed, everything. And they match
the fireplace, with the curtain around it. Up here, we can see another painting
of a lady with a letter in her hand. They don't have signatures on them, that's kind of
strange. But these were also made for the family. They are house pieces, not for a gallery.
But it's so extremely beautiful, and I have to point out that the fireplace and the
chair upholstery match completely. It's incredible. Let's have another look at this room. I'm just going to be so saddened in a moment
when I have to leave this castle behind. But, I'm so excited to show you the outside! Here,
you can see a woman painting, or maybe carving a tree. These paintings are so beautiful. Imagine
having an artist create a painting for your room, right above your door. Just because. That's
something I can only dream of. I think, maybe one day, we might want to live in a castle. That
would be such a cool dream if it ever comes true. There's another small room. I can
already see the dressing room. Have you noticed that most bedrooms are direct
and this one has a dressing room before it? So interesting. This is probably a children's
room. Oh, for sure, this is a children's bedroom. It's a very small bedroom as well. Let me show
you the first bedroom. It's a bit different than the other ones. As you can see, there used to be
a lot of illustrations and paintings on the wall, probably even a tailor-made painting over
there. There's a very small bed here in the corner. It's quite simple, as you can see. This
room hasn't been designed like the other ones, I think it's because, if you look at it, the
bed sheets match the curtains. It just feels more empty. Behind you, there's a very interesting
feature. This is a sort of sink area or bathroom inside of a cabinet. You can see how traditional
it was, with just the bucket and everything. It's very simple, very vintage. I love the wallpaper.
And then, there's that mirror. It's so unique. It's a lovely little room. Here in the corner,
of course, it also has a fireplace. As you can see, it's very simple, unlike the others,
with a log lying in the middle there. Alright. The paint on the door is already chipping
off over here. There's even mold in the corners. I wonder how many times these walls and
doors have been painted. Probably dozens of times. I love the feeling of just walking through
a castle, wandering and exploring it. You never know what you're going to encounter,
just like this one. We have not seen this type of bedroom before where the bed is built into the
wall. That's also a very unique French feature. You don't see it in many countries. Yes, you
see it in the closets, in the wall spaces. They love to do everything built in. It's beautiful. I
think it's really beautiful. It's a super unique French feature. And look at this bed. Isn't it
so wonderful? It's again, I think it's either the same or very similar to the one downstairs.
Look at how good a condition this one still is. It's so pristine. There are a couple of rips
and tears here and there, but in general, the bedsheet is still how it used to be. This
looks almost the same as the one downstairs. The wonderful velvet or fabric on the walls is perhaps
like an air cushion in between, so it traps the heat inside. Then, there's this painting above
the door here of people working in the fields. Oh, wow. I love that painting. Just
look at it, it's truly magnificent. Yes, yes indeed. The beauty in this place keeps going.
Another depiction of old French times, a house with a straw roof, a man on a horse. What
happened to this mirror, Danny? That's actually, if I'm not mistaken, one of those metal
mirrors. Oh, they deteriorate over time. Yeah, it's not actually a glass mirror, if I'm
not mistaken, I'm not sure. It is glass, but with metal behind it. Yeah, can I just say it?
Yeah, it's the walls, it's the bellow, it's the chairs, everything matches. Like literally, you
look at the bellow, then you look at the chair, then you look at the fabric on the walls, curtains, everything, everything matches. Wow!
It's so thought out that it's even genius. Okay, this was... Did I already tell this part? There
was literally a staff to keep up all the artifacts in this place. I think we told that in the dining
room. Then, I told it again, to keep the antique pieces in immaculate shape. Imagine taking care
of this whole place. Yeah, let's go further. This is the washing room that we just came
inside of and then from here, we can go straight into another bedroom and this
one is also quite special. This is a sideways built-in bed frame
into the wall. It's so beautiful. Again, this looks a bit empty, but you would have
this plate of everything. I'm just going to go close and show the hooks. Everything that it
would be, illustrations, some paintings just like this one. Exactly. I'm going to pan over
to this, again, beautiful. They look similar, but all have sort of different fabric on them.
It's to match the room. Have you seen that the colors match? Everything matches except for the
red. That's like a contrast in the room. Yeah, but have you seen that? It's in some parts,
not all of it. For example, the bed is red, the chair's red, and the curtain is red. It's just
awesome. It's genius interior design. Yeah, and you see there's also a hidden room behind the bed
over here that acted as a closet, as you can see. Wow! Wow! Wow! I think you just got to take
a couple of steps back, Danny, to appreciate this room and all its glory. Wonderful fireplace
again with a painting above it. You want to show the painting? Yeah, I'll open it. I just want
to say about the painting, you can see over here that it's made in red, again to match the room.
Yeah, it's again, it's genius. It's beautiful. Wow! What's this? Oh yeah, even a stand
for... I don't know what this is for, but it's like a little side table or something to
put some ornaments on or something. I don't know, super interesting. Also, I
don't know what this is, a flycatcher? I don't know. I'm interested
in this room, Denny. Which room? Oh, it's a stable behind here. I'm going
to have a quick look up there. Sure, yeah. I'm just curious why there was a stairway in here,
but it just leads to a sort of space up here, maybe a playroom or something like that for the
children. I have no clue. Super interesting. Okay, be careful. Yeah, I'm reversing
very carefully. It's really hard. Okay, like I told before, hidden rooms and hidden
spaces everywhere in these French castles. Can I point out something on top of this wardrobe?
Or this cabinet, first of all, again, red. This small frame with red paintings, amazing
miniature furniture. Exactly, the miniature furniture. Look at this miniature stove with even
all the pots and pans. Wow, that's incredible. And another painting of people
working with grapes over there. This chateau is... I don't know if I can say this
is the best one, but it's different, yeah, yeah, for sure. And back in the hallway, was there
another room here that we have to show? No, no, no, that's closed. Oh, this is
closed, yeah, that's closed. Oh, this one, yeah, no, we already been here.
Yeah, we've been into... Okay, let's head over to that side then. See this side now. Oh,
there's a couple of illustrations here on a wall. Seems to be locked, some doors are closed.
Yeah, but because this is a French chateau, we can just go around through other rooms. Yeah,
all the rooms connect so you can lock them from the inside for privacy. And oh, what? Show that.
I've bumped into this middle door here. We have a glass door leading further with illustrations
again, anywhere, everywhere. Oh wow, that's a beautiful one. I'm so sad that these illustrations
are just here. Oh, look at this. What did you see, Beatrice? This is a queen or a princess of France,
and this is a French map. It looks handmade. Oh, pieces of the window up here, it's falling
off as you can see. Yeah, the castle needs restoration. I hope, I really hope someone buys
the castle and turns it into a hotel with a park. This is huge, this would be such a beautiful
hotel. Definitely. I think this is the depiction of the Grand Canyon, if I'm not mistaken. They
had money, so they probably traveled a lot. Oh, in this frame here. Yeah, it's completely falling
apart, but it has a very beautiful depiction. Wow, this is just falling all off. Denny, we need to be
a little bit careful in this part of the castle. With the sink over here and the stairs, I have
to point out, it has stairs for the bidet. I mean, everything has been thought about. Oh,
look at this room! This is another wonderful bedroom in this place, and it's definitely one of
the biggest bedrooms. As you can see, it's a very long bedroom. Very beautiful. Wow, there are some
really unique pieces of furniture inside of here. Let's start with that chair over there. Wonderful upholstery chair, matching, again, like
all of the things in this place. Although, this actually doesn't match. If you look at it, it
has stripes, and this doesn't have stripes, but it is the same color. However, this actually
matches if it was pushed against the wall because the line literally continues. If
that was against the wall, you couldn't even tell there's a chair there. It's like camouflage,
literally. Wonderful curtains here. The whole room is covered in the same fabric, the entire
room. I could stand here all day looking at it. Have you seen this chaise longue over here?
I don't even know if it is a chaise longue because normally a chaise longue doesn't
have this piece over here. I think it's also considered a chaise longue, it just
has an end piece. Oh, it's so beautiful. It's a very unique piece of furniture that you
don't come across very often now. And I've seen it once again in another place. Again, it
matches the decor. But it's so beautiful, and this is literally just a piece of
furniture designed to lay down and relax on. There are two very simple
beds in this room though. Not much to tell about them. They look like
they have, I'm going to show real quickly, they look like they had very beautiful... oh my,
that's what makes these beds special. They look like they had very beautiful little sheets, but
they are just gone. They are literally completely gone. Even the headrests have those illustrations
on them. As you can see, the woodwork is not very complicated, but the bed itself, that's
what makes this bed special, incredible. And then also a sort of desk over here in the
corner, with a chair standing in front of it. Still a couple of letters
left behind, as you can see. I love this desk, so beautiful. The curtains
hanging down, the bath, the bed, the table, incredible. Glass dome, probably for sand
or something, or a statue that used to be underneath it. Wow, even a hidden door over there
in the corner as you can see. Probably another closet. It's so beautiful, this bedroom.
Let's see what we have over here. Let's check another space, doors
and everything, everywhere. Another dresser. You're in the
closet, yeah, let's go out. There's also a twisting staircase here that
leads to the third level of this place, or the second level in Europe. And this second
level is most likely the place where the servants and workers of this castle used to reside. Look
at that little bridge up there, that's so cool. The carpet's beginning to show wear, very
used. Thousands of people have walked up here during its heyday. You can definitely see that
this is a whole different part of the castle, one that is not uniquely designed
in any way, shape, or form. Very big. The castle is definitely showing its
decay and age, and that it needs restoration. What do we have up here? Oh, it's a place
where they hung clothes, a drying line. Just want to see, maybe a
bedroom of one of these servants? Is this some sort of storage room up here? Oh, look at this room, Danny.
Oh, the floor, oh this... There are vials of liquid and different substances
here. Very interesting. I love to see all those vintage bottles. This is dangerous, right?
This one even says 'poison' on it. Oh my God. It's so different to be up here in
comparison to the rest of the castle. You want to close it? Yeah, I can
do it. I have two hands. Okay. Storage rooms. Oh wow, look at this. All
for the curtains. If something broke, I think they could fix everything inside. Like
even the wallpapers here, every single wallpaper probably had a spare up here. That's where it was
all stored. It's incredible. I love to see this. I love all the curtain hangers and everything. Oh my, the castle is falling.
Clearly in need of help. That's sad. We just went all the way through this
top floor. There's mostly nothing very interesting here. Some rooms, a bit dangerous.
I just want to show a couple of paintings of horse races and everything. Pictures
from 1906. Oh wait, wow, that's old. This one is also so beautiful, Danny. Look at that. That is a wonderful chateau. That's
probably one of their properties or something. They had multiple, so if they had this one, they
definitely had more. That's also very grand. Look at this small opera, definitely
a kids' play. A great story. We just made it outside of the place and
the sun is already shining. We have been in there for four hours and now we
are greeted by the beautiful facade of this castle. Wow! This is the veranda that
we were talking about, Danny. It overlooks their fields. They would say, back in the time,
that you could only see rolling landscapes from the castle, and they're right. It's a bit
misty today, but it's also so beautiful. Just look at this beauty. I just want
to go up there for a moment, Danny, and showcase those crests that they have up here.
Those are most likely the family crests that have been worked into it. You can see that they're
also combined crests from different families. It's wonderful. It's so grand, so big, so
important. I don't know what more to say. And here we can see the side of the castle,
and you can really get a sense of how big this structure actually is. I'm just fascinated
by how incredibly huge it is. What you see underneath here are the original foundations of
the castle from 1146, and it's all been built up from there, from the golden sandstone. If I'm
not mistaken, this part right here is the chapel, but it's completely closed. We couldn't
gain access to it, which is really sad, but we got to see this incredible place. We are
so lucky, Danny, that we got to document this. We are lucky, I tell you. Not a lot of people have
seen this in their lives, and you are fortunate that you're watching this video. So definitely
subscribe to this channel because there's more to come. There's so much more. I don't even have
words. This castle leaves me speechless. Back in the time, there was also a plan to completely
convert their lands around the castle into parks, but unfortunately, that plan never came to
fruition. As you can see, the castle grounds are a bit bland, but still very nice. Here is the front
entrance of the place, very imposing, I would say. I'm so thrilled that we got to document this
incredible place, and it will have a spot on our channel forever. What a dream come true!
It's truly a dream come true. I've tried this four times, everyone, just so you know. Definitely
check out the man behind the camera, Mr. Danny. His link is in the description. If you liked this
video, like it, subscribe to the channel, and write a nice comment down there. Also, share this
video and spread the word. In the description, there are also a couple of links to support this
channel and help us document these places. With all that said, I love you all very much and see
you next week in our amazing episode. Thank you.
