Deep in the heart of Portugal lies a once-grand
palace that seems to have been frozen in time. The estate was once home to a family that knew no
bounds when it came to luxury and extravagance. Build in the mid-1800’s with a blend of Victorian, Italian, and Portuguese architecture, the
palace is an impressive sight to behold, with every detail a testament to
the family's wealth and influence. For generations, the family indulged in a life
of leisure, traveling the world in search of new experiences and adventures. But as the years
went by, the palace began to lose its luster. The family's heirs, Lucinda and
her husband, inherited the estate, but as fate would have it,
they were the last in line. Lucinda's husband passed away, leaving
her alone in this vast and empty palace. When she passed away 2007, the palace was
left to the mercy of time and the elements. Today, this once-grand place lies
abandoned, a forgotten relic of the past. The gardens, once a stunning display of
floral opulence, are now overgrown with weeds, and the halls that once echoed with
laughter and music are now silent. Despite its significance, the family's descendants
seem to have little interest in the estate, having long since moved on to new horizons. Join us as we journey through
the forgotten halls of this magnificent palace, exploring the secrets
and mysteries that have been left behind. There we are again, everybody. Welcome back to the
Bros of Decay. I am Lesley and behind the camera, like usual, Mr. Danny. Hello, hello, everyone.
And we have something very special to show you guys today, an 18th, no excuse me, 19th
century palace that was built around the mid-1800s by the Nogueira family. And believe
it or not, we're going to take you on a full tour throughout this place today. And I
am dressed in a completely new outfit, also 19th century, and in this outfit,
I'm gonna take you throughout this palace. Right now, we find ourselves in the laundry
room, where the servants of the Nogueira family used to fold the laundry, wash the
laundry, do everything, iron everything. I can see there are still pieces of costumes
and everything left behind, all in the closets. Wow, that's a uniform of somebody in
the house. Maybe Aldino, the father. And do you know what that was used for? A
Portuguese Crest number two. It doesn't look like something military or something, you would
say. I wouldn't say military because that's, yeah, that's a formal jacket. It's more of,
for example, if you go to a ball or if you go to something, if you want to represent
the country or something, you would wear that. That's absolutely a really amazing piece. I
also love the coat hangers that we have in here, very traditional for Portugal. And I am always
very sad that we don't use this style anymore nowadays because we all use plastic nowadays,
and it's so disgusting, I must say. Okay, let's close this one up. What a beautiful, oh,
and these hats, excuse me, sorry, I keep going, but these hats are also very traditional for
boys. Yeah, absolutely. I absolutely love them. And like, it's yet, see, that was a uniform, but
the Nogueira family, in general, they didn't have a real occupation. They were mostly just
investors. They invested in real estate, and that's how they earned all their money. And
it's also old money that they got over years, decades, that the family collected and
just gave to the other family members. Let's go further. Here we come into
another section of the basement, general storage section, I would say. That over
there in the corner really piques my interest, and I think you can tell me a little bit
more about it. This is cork, right? Yeah, it's a piece of, uh, is it like a storage unit or
something? I don't know. What I think is beautiful is beautiful, but basically, they just cut the
tree in the middle and they sew it together, like, like you see the, I see it here. Yep,
and this is a sort of a storage basket, I would say. It was just to transport stuff.
Yeah, typically Portuguese again. Portugal is the country of cork. You see it everywhere. Yeah,
if you've never been to Portugal, definitely put it on your bucket list to visit because this
country will blow your mind. It's beautiful. And of course, also a lot of port and a lot of
wine in this country. That's also very typical. All these bottles, Danny, are still original,
still unopened. You can see there's a plastic top, so it's probably self-made white wine, I
believe, or white port, maybe. Wow, this is old. You can see the sediment floating around
in it. Oh, and also all these bowls up here, probably liquors and foods and everything
they collected and stored here over the years. I absolutely adore this wine cellar. These
are all empty bottles in here, jeez. That's years and years of collecting wine all gone to
waste. Some champagne bottles as well down here. Look at all the debris that has fallen on it
over years and years. This is what you think of when you think of an abandoned wine cellar
in a castle or in a palace like this. And then we also have these big jugs here in the middle,
also very typical for this beautiful country. You guys love your wines and ports. Yep,
I must say I've noticed this over the many times that I've come to Portugal. Washing
line or the drying line hanging straight throughout the basement. I am pretty sure that
the Nogueira family members, Aldino, the woman, and everybody and the children probably never came
to this basement. This was just for the servants and the workers. And now I will take you up to
the main section of the house, the living spaces. Up this winding staircase into the main
section. Oh, here behind you, Danny, we can see the kitchen. This is a room in the
house that is a bit overthrown and vandalised, but still, I really adore it. I cannot
call this anymore. I'm exhausted. Can you correct me on this one? It's just a chimney.
It's just a chimney because it doesn't suck air. It's very typical for Portugal, these
very big chimneys above the fireplace and the cooking place. Yeah, wonderful stove below
here. All the debris over the years that the servants cooked food for the Nogueira family still
left behind. And this is a pizza oven, I suppose, bread oven. Bread, you're not Italian. Yeah,
we didn't make pizza, but that's also a very interesting talking point because we're gonna see
it throughout the house. There's going to be a lot of Italian influence, Portuguese influence, but
also Victorian influence throughout the house. And that's why I also really love this place. For
the most part, the kitchen, I'm not going to talk much about it, just show briefly what we see over
here behind you, Danny. There's one talking point I really adore. These faucets that we have here
above the sink. And this is very interesting. I didn't notice, but back in the days, there was
no public water. So they had their own pits. So sometimes these are water that is pumped
out from the pits to wash dishes. Okay, so that's why they were special. Yeah, they were.
That's why there's multiple things. My grandmother also has these. Wow, cheese, and even another
faucet down there. So four faucets. That's the normal water. That's the newer one. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. So they kept the old ones at later times. I love the little teddy bear that's hanging here,
probably from one of the children. So lovely to see. Wow, still some touches of the children
left inside this house. It's very interesting. In this part where we're coming now, there are two
staircases in the house. And the one we see here in front of us used to be the servant staircase.
So the Nogueira family themselves wouldn't come a lot in this area of the house. This was mainly for
the servants. And you see there's a lot in castles and palaces. They have different sections for the
servants so they don't run into them that often. And then over here, we come into the entrance hall
for the family members themselves. And you can see already that this is a fascinating entrance hall.
The first thing that grabs my attention in this hall is this wonderful Arabian tapestry here on
the wall. Absolutely adore it. The wild animals, the Arabian people fighting them, you can
see the lions down there. Geez, fascinating. A couple of keys are typically for a castle or a
palace. You can see the keys with a little note next to them. "What does this say?" "Revillé."
So that was from the father or something, right? "It's the iron gate, the iron gate. So
maybe it's the front gate of the house." "Oh yeah, most likely because that's an iron gate." Cheese
plates are typically Portuguese again. And here we were talking about this. This is them a little
bit more Victorian, I would say. The paintings on the walls, the stenciing. It's beautiful.
Wonderful vase with some flowers in there. Then you have the mirror here in the hallway. You can check your hair before going out,
see if you're still neat. We got dressed up. See, already the first upholstery
chair, a nice cushion on top of there. "Oh, there's a bedroom over here,
Danny. I haven't even noticed this yet. Okay, oh, I get it. This is
the last bedroom of the house. I'm pretty sure of that. This is where Lucinda,
Aldino's wife, last slept. Aldino passed in 2007. Lucinda kept living in this place until 2009,
and this was the place where she slept. Oh, but you're right because you never have the
electrical. This has never been a bathroom. Yeah, it's more like a bureau area or something
like that. Wow, the Last Supper, of course, on the wall. They were a religious family.
Also, Portuguese families were traditionally very religious, and are still at this point in
time, also very religious. Beautiful carpet. And then a small television to entertain herself
in the night. You can see that we are right about this. Here on the ground, or on the chair,
an upholstery chair, we can see that there's still a lot of medicine left behind for her last
years in life, and even a little blouse from her. The room that I'm about to show you is one
of the most beautiful and important rooms in the entire house for the Nogueira
family. This was their dining room where invited guests, including noble people,
would come over for dinner. Servants would cook and bring the food. First off, the ceiling in this
room is absolutely magnificent. It's a traditional Portuguese wooden ceiling with beautiful carvings.
Then there's the chandelier hanging from it - a simple but elegant one, also very Portuguese
with its simplicity and iron and copper work. And then there's the dining table with
a large number of chairs around it. I'm so sorry, but this is an abandoned house
that hasn't been maintained. The portrait behind me fell down and I hold the glasses on the
floor everywhere. But like I said, there are 10 chairs around this table, and at one point in
time, this house used to hold three children, Lucinda and Aldino themselves, the grandparents,
and even the great-grandparents. So a grand family used to live in this place. They were also
world travellers, as you can see from the German beer mug and other pieces in the room.
They had a lot of time on their hands, being rich people who didn't have to worry about money,
so they just traveled, invested, and did things. It's crazy to think that people used to live
like that. We also travel a lot, but it's mostly for work. These people clearly earned money from
their heritage, as you can see from the furniture. Another thing I want to point out is that you can
really see that this house is old. The electricity has been added on later, and the official year
that a little town in Portugal got electricity was 1878. This house was built around the mid-18th to
mid-19th century, so you can definitely see that everything has been added on. All the cables are
lying on top, and they never worked anything into the walls, so they never did any big renovations
to this house. Even the paintings are original. Those are the frescoes, the Italian fresco
stuff we were talking about. So maybe they had an Italian artist over here that
designed this for them. Could be very true, but so many beautiful things to think about.
I love this tray that we have over here, like a little snack tray that you put on the
table with some sweets and some other things. Of a girl, maybe one of the daughters. Yeah, when she went out to keep her daughters
in mind. I don't know what happened to the children or why they're not interested in
this place, but chairs down there. (music) I'm gonna back up without stepping on the glass. You're still doing it. Wow, can you stand
next to it because it's really, really huge. I love it, Danny. This is such a beautiful
piece. Let me try to show you the lion in there. They were definitely
fascinated by wild animals, lions. Still filled in this very cute porcelain
holder. Wow, and this piece. Oh, it's just a dust bandit. Come on, have a look at
it. Everything back in those days was designed to perfection to fit in neatly here. I love it.
Sorry, no worries. Okay, then this side of the room. Let's look at these portraits because they're
very beautiful people, I must say. This lady down below here, maybe one of the family members
of the Nogueira family, and above there, are definitely one of the grandfathers of this
family sitting on a praying chair. I see. Yeah, this looks like 17, so it might have been painted
or drawn in 1917. It might be a good date. Look at the destruction that nature did to
this house over time. Up above, the whole wall, the plaster work, everything is slowly
falling and crumbling and disintegrating. This whole cabinet has been covered by pieces of
debris over the years. What does this say then? And cheese, Portuguese cheese,
that's what we are known from, wine and cheese talking about it. Yep, exactly, about all the towns that the wine and cheese
that is produced. The lions coming back again. Over here, we have a desk in the corner. We
could just chill here and drink something. I was lying a minute ago when I said that the
entrance hall I showed you at first was the main entrance. This is actually the main
entrance of the household, and it's very interesting because it would have been used as
a waiting room for guests who came to the house. Whenever somebody came in, a servant would
welcome them, seat them over here or here, give them a cup of coffee or whatever they
wanted, and then call the appropriate family member, depending on who they were
expecting. It's very interesting. First, let's look at the ceiling.
The chandelier is a masterpiece. I absolutely love it. It's a
simple crystalline chandelier, but still very beautiful. The moulding is
fresh and there's painting work everywhere. The ceilings are at least double my height, so
about four meters or 12 feet (excuse me for all my non-metric people). There are lovely
tall street chairs in the corner as well. Look at this piece, unfortunately, it's
falling apart after all those years. And also, the entrance door is humongous, with
tinted glass windows and beautiful doorways. This round shape of the entrance is also very
Portuguese. You see these a lot. I can remember seeing it in other palaces as well. Yeah,
probably. And then, we have this bench seat over here, which is typically Portuguese.
There's no other country in Europe where you see it. I mean this by the divided chair
rests that you have in it, and that's a very Portuguese thing to do. I think they are very
elegant and beautiful benches, as you can see. Sorry, that was not my fault. It was already
broken. I tried to put it back earlier, but yeah, let's put it back. Don't touch
this. I'm just gonna put it on the table before somebody destroys it. There's
a lovely portrait of a man up there. I don't know who he is or what he represented,
but maybe he was one of the family members. This was something to put flowers inside of,
right? Yep. I think that's a very important man because if you are gonna walk in and see the
first person, you see it's very important. That's maybe the most important person in the house,
the man who earned all the money, probably. The swan and the river. Wow, very peaceful. Oh,
and all these little porcelain things. Also, Portugal is very known for making porcelain
things. Is this the size of a cup of coffee or drink? It's a little bigger than that, right? No,
no, these are children's toys. Excuse me, because I know you guys drink very little coffees, but
that's too small. Maybe double the size of that. Close your eyes because now we're entering the
last room of the downstairs, and this one is also just magnificent. I think this was sort of a
leisure room of the house, where you would come to just relax, lounge, or leisure, whatever you want
to call it. Sorry, sir, because it has a piano and some benches and everything, and set up here in
the middle, maybe to drink some coffee or tea. I love the face that we have here on the table. Look
at that one. That one is a Portuguese man depicted on their hunting. Oh, he has the same jacket as
you, different color. See, I fit in this house. Same style of chandelier, but I must say this
one is a little bit more extravagant. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm now comparing it to looking
at that one. Yeah, let me show you quickly the other one just to see. Yeah, it has to be
a little bit simpler. Yeah, I would say. And then also, gold plating all over the
ceiling in this room. Oh, watch out. No worries. I want to start in this corner over
here. This lovely man hanging here, look at his expression, his face. It looks
a little in bed inside. This is so typical Portuguese. I'm going to say one thing, this
may be controversial, but Portuguese people don't know how to smile in photos. My father,
if you're a Portuguese man, you can say that. My father is also like that, to
smile sometimes. Come on, smile. Have you seen this painting over here on the
wall, or this picture? I would say it's a 3D image that changes from Mary to Jesus. I don't
know what the middle picture is. Jesus, that's also Jesus drinking a cup of wine. I love it,
actually. Beautiful. Yeah, it's very interesting. Oh, small child standing on an upholstery chair and a toy. Let's look inside the cabinet if you
can find something. Wow, wow, a lot of pictures left behind. Is this the house? I don't know.
Benny, I've seen this woman before, and this is Mrs. Lucinda. That's the lady of the house, the
woman of the house. That was the wife of Aldino, and that's her daughter, and most likely her
granddaughter as well. They resemble each other, they have the same expression. Look at the
eyebrows, that's how you know it, yeah, exactly. And then we have an older
picture over here. I'm seeing, no, it's not the same. It's not the same as the
hallway. It's just a lovely picture. These are probably pictures of the ancestors, yeah, most
likely. This family has reigned for a long time, they have a long history, and that's
how they created their old wealth. Oh, I love the setup over here as well. These
two chairs, this boost in the middle with the face on top. It's lovely to see, and then
a small table to maybe play some chess, back in the time, but now there
are some children's toys over here As you can see, wow, wooden toys. Yeah,
then maybe to learn the children some English. And then they have the "A" for
air balloon, the "O" for over. [Laughter] I love it. And I must say, I love the table, yeah,
and also the porcelain on the table. We showed that over the time. Oh, excuse me, no worries.
Another one of those 3D pictures here on the wall. This one is a little bit harder to see, it's dark. Are you gonna play? I cannot
play the piano, no, no. [Music] Wow, it's still good. And this is from Leipzig,
Germany. That's in the south of Germany, a beautiful city where they made this
wonderful piano back in the time. Wow, very dusty. Even see that design on it, and
everything is absolutely wonderful. It's gorgeous, a lot of ornaments also on top of the
piano cloth. You see it everywhere, even in your house. Yeah, I must say, even in my
nightstand. Your mother probably put it there. Yeah, old pictures of the family. Wow, that's
probably outside the palace. Absolutely lovely, it's a religious place in Portugal. Wow, cars
that are driving around in these pictures, jeez. Absolutely love them, one of
the children playing with corn, also very pretty. Yes, absolutely. And
here we have the same child coming back, and she's standing again. Hmm. Wow, look
at this display over here, this bag, the heavy chair, all the children
depicted over here, their pictures. Here's another child down there, the
same one coming back three times. Then I think I see something. I
see little holes and if I'm right, I saw this, these are notebooks, not books,
"Operas la con-via." You know what these are? I have no idea. So, these are for automatic
pianos. I don't know the exact word to describe the piano, but you would put it in like that, and
it would play for you, like literally play a song through these holes. And I think the piano that
we have here in front of us is an automatic piano. You know the western movies in the United States,
yeah, where the piano plays automatically? Oh, that's this. Oh, okay, I got it. And I got a
lot of these books, quote unquote, left over here. And also, these magazines that we have over here,
jeez, they're all something for the military. And then we have a sitting bench over
here, grand mirror above it, fans. So, all today, jeez. Yeah, it is not even
lying, and I'm wearing this for you guys, so you better give the video a like because I'm
really putting effort into this. Yeah, no, but I also love wearing it. I feel very fancy. Let's put
this back neatly over here. Wow, love this bench. Yeah, the bench, the upholstery, everything. Oh,
and have you seen the hat? It's on this side, blue heads, probably from Lucinda. Wow, would you
wear it like this, with a knob to the front? Uh, no, the back, you'd never see, yeah, exactly.
Does it fit with my suit? Okay, I love it. Oh, these faces. Oh, and then
the picture in the middle, they look like they were the precious things
because they are just here, you know, yeah, they're like put them away that the
children don't knock them down. True. First, I thought that these were drawers, but then
I looked closer at them, and they're actually a complete vault that can open up, and the family
would store all their biggest valuables inside of here, all the jewellery, the gold, everything they
owned. And a family like this probably would have this one stacked up with valuable things. Cheese,
I also love this one, wow, the roses above here. Then, to the right of U,
beautiful gold-plated mirror. Oh, wow, can I show the detail on it?
Those are some musical instruments, right? Yeah, it's a flute on this side, and
we got a drum to this side, another flute. And somewhere in the house was also fascinated by,
hello, by collecting shells on the beach wherever they went. Are these shells that you would collect
in Portugal? Yeah, yeah, in the sea. You guys are some big sea animals. We literally live next
to the Atlantic Ocean, yeah, that's true. Follow me now, everybody, because we're
gonna go to one last section downstairs before I show you the bedrooms of this house,
and that's another treat for you all. [Music] Thank you. [Music] Here we come into the grand stairway of
the household. What a masterpiece to look at. I absolutely love the design. Here, you
can see the Victorian style coming back again, twisting stairway to the top floor. Very French,
I would also say, but also Portuguese, of course. And then you have this next to the stairway. We
have this little area where you could do some work and rest a little bit. I don't know what
exactly this area of the house was used for, but there are some very incredible
things in here. For example, this beautiful Portuguese-made Grandfather's
Clock. I love the fishing boat in there, typical Portuguese fishing mode made
with Porto, probably a long time ago. Love this one down below. I can even see that
part of it is designed. What would you do in here in this section because the bureau is the
room next to here, so it was not really a bureau, but maybe I don't know if anybody has an idea
what you would do in such an area of the house. I kind of have an idea, but I'm not sure. But I
think this was like the because back in the day, they only had one telephone. So, I think this is
like a calling room. Yeah, I know you can also see that there are some phone books left behind here,
so you could be right about that. Pages just where you could phone somebody and just talk. Yeah,
exactly because also the landline is connected there. That could be a good idea. I love the piece
of tile in here. It's amazing. Okay, before I show you the upstairs, let's go to this section of
the house, so I have to show you one more thing. Unfortunately, this entire room has been thrown
apart, but this used to be back in the time the bureau area where Albino and Lucinda and everybody
in the family used to do their business and their investing and everything they did. See there are
even still some accountancy bills left behind. Just like I said, it's all about accountancy in
this room. There are some big numbers on there. Look at that cabinet. Even though this whole
room is thrown aboard, every single piece of porcelain is still perfect in there. To the right
of you, we have also a vault in this room. Oh, wow, lovely Vault big one. Wow, okay, but more I
have to be careful because I got scared because that it starts shaking the whole cabinet. Every
move you make in this room doesn't move too much to break that cabinet. Yeah, okay, let's go
back. Foreign. Look at this Amazon. It's from the rainforest probably that went there and they
enjoyed it, and this is a souvenir back home. Hello, it's time to go up the stairway. Let me show you the upper floors of this
household. Have a look at this window that we have over here, geez, it's humongous, the size
of me next to it. Oh my, see this? I thought it was tinted, but it's not really tinted. You were
back in the days, I think it was probably tinted, maybe it faded because it's the same
as the entrance hall. Wow, the ceiling has literally broken off up there. Repairing
this house is going to cost a lot of money. Okay, let's move on. Is that a picture
of Lucinda on the wall there, or maybe of our grandmother? Wow, yeah, a family lady, but
also that Portuguese expression, is it something typical from you guys? No, we just... I don't
know, some people just don't know how to smile, such as just look straight into the camera. Yeah,
that's true. The hallway, through the hallway, so first and foremost, we're going to show you
the master bedroom of the house, where the parents used to sleep. Listen and Aldino, let
me show you inside of this room. I think it's just a masterpiece of design and decoration.
Love the ceiling, love everything about it, chandelier in the middle, wow, the crown moulding,
the paintings. Isn't it just fascinating? Then again, we have this typical
still-made Portuguese bed in front of us. That blanket is so colourful. Yeah, wow, it
looks very handmade, yeah, pillows on top of it. This doll is very creepy,
staring me right in the eyes. Oh, there's also something that they do a lot over
here, the picture of Maria and Jesus on either side of the bed, right? Yeah, yeah, everywhere,
across above the bed, of course. It's as well like my grandmother says, one is not enough, like you
just put as much as you want. Like you can see in the nightstand, there's another statue here and
another depiction there, like a little "F" ever. Maybe for the servers, like you ring it
and they bring you a coffee in the morning, probably. Probably. Look at this chassis
long that we have here in front of the bed. If you look closely, you can see there are
some hairs of an animal on top of here, and that might be of a dog or a cat. Yeah,
these people have kids. Wow, nice interesting point. The cat would lay here in front of the
bed while Lucinda and Aldina would be in bed, something like that. I'm imagining. Yeah, yeah,
it's my imagination, I'm sorry. No worries. Look at this. I'm going to call this a
vanity, but it's not exactly a vanity, right? It is a vanity, but it has another
purpose. Yeah, you told me before. I think it's to sit down. I'm just going to show you. So
in the morning, you would sit in front of your mirror. I'm actually perfectly dressed for this,
so... And you would put your shoe on top of it, take one of the brushes, and you could clean your
shoe like that and do your nails and everything like this in the morning. And that's why this
marble plate is on top of here. Wow, everything is still there from our gums to even one of
the cigars still left behind, Cuban cigar. Wow, really in front of it, love it.
Oh, oh, that one is special, Hildebrands. That's a Dutch name, Hildebrand.
You know the brand? Yeah, I know the brand. In Portugal, we need those. You're just gonna
say that I already noticed. Like I said to Danny last year while exploring here, I'm not
gonna explore again in the summer. In Portugal, and where am I again in the summer? In
Portugal, it's the best time. It's the best time. When we were in America, we saw a
lot of these rocking chairs, and in Portugal, it's one of the only countries in Europe where
we actually also find rocking chairs. And I really love this one. This is a very beautiful
one, very elegant. The curves and everything, and there are a lot of little drawers
slash vanity over here, a couple of fans. Love this one. Definitely a big fan
of swans, the people that live here. Okay, and then attached to this room,
can I just show again this ceiling? Yeah, I need to show again the ceiling. You can, I think
I didn't show it in detail, all this plaster work, yeah, it's wonderful. It's breathtaking.
Now, it's my turn, honey. Now, it's your turn. Come on. Attached to this room, in the
morning, Lucinda would come in here and have her complete own dressing room. Everything you would
ever imagine, beautiful closet that you could fill up with clothes, you could select one of her
beautiful dresses. But these aren't dresses, these are the costumes and uniforms of
her husband, but you get my idea, yeah. And a big chest over here to the corner. Do you want to try to see what's inside?
Yeah, you want to bet what's inside? Most likely we blankets, yeah, a couple of pieces of
clothing in here as well. Well, love it, chests you see everywhere in this country, and this is
sort of a little shuffle, I would say, right? It's a tree just for an altar, a figure
and a little prayer in the morning. Yeah, this is very just elegant, absolutely.
Table over here with drawers. All right, yeah, the bullfights, of course. Very
controversial but very traditional to Portugal back in the day. Yeah, you don't do it that
much anymore, right? No, not anymore. I see in Spain sometimes they still do it. It's more
of a Spain thing. It's Portugal and Spain, but you do it more than us, yeah, exactly, for sure.
Oh, I cannot skip it, right? No, no, no, no. Wow, show it, look at this wonderful thing, little
design everywhere, then these faucets above it, aren't they just magnificent? Oh, and they can
even turn like that. Oh, this porcelain still sinks are just very typical. Very typical, love
them, and that brings us back to the hallway. So, they were three children in the house. There
are also three rooms for the children. There are more than three rooms, but this one and that
one is just completely destroyed, so I'm gonna briefly show you this room. Let me open it up
for you. Okay, so I don't know what happened in this part of the house, but probably vandals came
inside, destroyed it in the lookout for something valuable, which they probably found and stole from
this place, unfortunately, but that's just sad. Have I shown this one in the hallway,
here, depiction of a lovely church? Wow, this must have been the doll from the
girl that lived here, the set of drums, wow, absolutely lovely, beautiful eyes. Okay, follow
me, here is one of the rooms of the children and you can see it's falling apart, Lily, but yeah,
it's also very beautiful from this corner. Yeah, exactly, the bed still made, the only
the bat has fallen through to the floor, but everything is still on there with the
pillow and stuff like that. Even the children had to believe that they had also religious
depictions over on this side, as you can see, probably. And then the bat, very
typical, carved bat with tick style. And next to the bat, we haven't talked
about that yet, but that's to turn off and on the lights at the evening. You can show
it briefly. Very easy when you're lying in bed, you can turn off the lights. They even
had their own television, wow, oh yeah, for those days and for Portugal,
that's very, very special. Yeah, I think this was the girl's bedroom because we
also have a lot of beauty products over here, boxes for jewellery over here. This is
probably for a ring or something like that, necklace. I don't know what it is exactly,
wow, lovely. What's this exactly, Danny? Is this to put a candle inside? I think so, yeah,
I had to walk around the house when it's dark out. Love this piece of furniture as well. Have a look
at this, this drawer literally has the drawers in the drawer. She was the one that collected the
shells, probably. She was the one, definitely lovely ornaments and
knickknacks over here as well. Big hole in the ceiling over
there, everything is falling apart. Sad realisation, but probably never
gonna be restored, this place. This has been lying here for a long
time, it doesn't even move anymore, we'll rain on it and then turn mouldy and yeah. See if she has anything in here still.
Completely full of suits and clothing, wonderful. Thank you all. Back into the hallway
because there's one last part or a couple of last things that I want to show in
this household. First and foremost, of course, these people had a very fancy bathroom as you
can see, with a bathtub with paws underneath, wonderful paws, and then the toilet and the
bidet. Wow, this looks like the drawings that we saw on the sink over there, so it's probably
a complete piece that they bought for the house. Toilet, yeah, probably don't show inside of
the toilet but just for the bottom of it, wonderful. Open the talent brush
holder is just porcelain everywhere, very high and typical, and even all the
cleaning products are still left behind. The thermometer, yeah, it's very clearly
old. There's even a coin left in here, it's just going a little stuck in it. Probably
would fall apart and they used it to fix it or something. So, you have an eye for detail.
Come back into the hallway because we're going to show you the other stairway that I was
talking about. So, I was talking about that the servants had their own stairway to go throughout
the house, and this is the one that leads up to the servants' bedrooms upstairs. So, we can take
it up and I will show you their space of the house as well. I think in the later years, in the late
1900s, the servants would have been phased out from the household, especially when Aldino and
Lucinda lived here alone. But in the beginning of this household, there would be a lot of
servants working for the family. Of course, they were cheap, and in most cases, the servants
would just get housing and free food and trade for their labor, and that's why they used to
live with these rich people back in a time. First and foremost, there's one room that I saw
up here that, in my opinion, is definitely not a servants' room. Maybe some room for an extra
family member or something like that. Wow, lovely. Again, a lot of vandalism in this
room as well, doesn't really matter, but love the vanity that we have over
there. The green tile behind there, wow, is that a medical cross on there?
Uh, no, I don't know. I mean either. Play then to this side.
[Applause] Oh, geez, the noise. Old furniture, yeah. Look at
this, wow. That's a very, very warm coat. Yeah, that coat, it's very typical. Can you take
it out? Of course, so we can show it better. It's very dusty. Oh, look at that, that's
long. This is what was what the men's back in the day were to go out in the fields with
the sheep or with just animals. That's very, very typical. I think when it was winter time,
it would be very warm in that cold. Wow, no, I'm not gonna close it. And that's on
the drawer over there are a lot of dolls left behind, or porcelain dolls,
actually. Wow, I really like them. We can go further these upper floors and show
you where the servants used to sleep and their bedrooms. Look at this, Danny, that's literally
a servant's bedroom. Jeez, very small, iron bed, everything cheaply made. They literally spend
as least money as they could on the serving. Sometimes you see that the servants' quarters in
a certain house, certain normal houses, are still very fancy and beautiful, but in this one, the
servants didn't have a great life, I think so. Yeah, they had a lot of money for themselves
and couldn't care less about their workers. That's very sad to see. We even had a little
ledge to open up their window, though. Do they get a lot of wind? Yeah, I could
let in some fresh air into the room, but very clumsy and very cheaply made. Whoa, okay. There are two more servant quarters. I know one
more is to this side, and that's it. You can see a big TV standing over there. Oh, wait,
can I just show this very quickly? Yeah. That's not a servant, that's one of the
family members. I've seen this picture before. Isn't this the room where the water tank
is? There is an animal on top of the roof, multiple animals. Oh, I think they're inside.
Geez, I don't know. This is the toilet for the servants as well. You can see the corner of the
room just thrown away. In this room, there's their toilet and their washing area, probably.
Absolutely wonderful! [Music] The family definitely had a very, very good life, and
I really enjoyed going throughout their house and seeing the things that they left behind. I'm
done for today. I want to thank you all very, very much for watching this week's video. I loved
