My Gran Dad, was born in St Bonnet, He returned for his retirement, and died in 1971. Every summer, we're used to spend some weeks with him, in his family home. Once he drove us (me and my brothers) to this place and we had a look around and inside. It was in the late 60s. I remember a big room with a huge stoned fireplace, we were so sad about this place at that time. And to see it now in 2014 really shocked me, there's only the outer walls left. All the wooden floor has collapsed 😪
believed arson for the 8 million euro insurance of which its owners were later prosecuted going through the courts for many years, from what i can find the dutch society recieved fines from 550,000 to 1.5 million euros and prison for two of its directors.
This makes me feel really sad! This chateau is about 10 minutes from our house in France , you can't get near to it now . I wish someone would restore it to its former glory it's so beautiful.
There are unhappy stories about this chateau. It has been allowed to fall into ruin because of this. The buildings are not of equal construction and some are not well built at all. I have not seen it for two years and even then it was deteriorating rapidly.
Amazing how the rooves only seemed to take a century to deprecate to seed. Someone evidently lived here then as the 1900 image shows a tended garden and a healthy bastiment overall. I love the tall central tower. It reminds me of an XVIIIth c. english "gothik" folly. Thanks for uploading this. *You rock* . 🥌
