This video was absolutely fascinating! I've watched it 3 times now. This, in my opinion, was one of your best. Thanks, Chris, for taking me to a location that I'll never get the chance to visit. I'm delighted to be a paid subscriber to your channel. When I get a notification of a new release from you, I go there almost immediately. You're the best, Chris!
I swear, every time you upload, at least an hour before I literally in my head say man. I hope chris is gonna upload a video soon!? Then boom 💥 love the content 👌
I love looking at these old places and castles the architectural work they did and to see it still standing after all these years remarkable such beauty
That was amazing! Made it so much more interesting when you explained what the areas had been used for over the different centuries, well done! Sorry you didn't stumble upon the cemetery during your explore, maybe it was on the side of the property least cared for...? Excellent explore, Chris - thanks for taking us along!
Wow, pretty cool place Chris. I could never go in those closed in places, I'm claustrophobic lol. And I could never be a monk and keep my mouth shut all the time. You had my cracking up in the living room 😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful! I am always amazed at the architecture from so many years ago. How did they do it?!? Thanks Chris for showing us places where I will never be able to go.
Wow, this is really beyond huge. The size of what we know todag of a shopping centre, but built at that time, amazing. Thanks for sharing yet another great video.
Im diggin the shirt Chris, John Ritter would be proud! I picture that parlour area @16:29 where the monks could talk like the smoking doors at high school for some reason...awesome video and info as always...i always learn something new
I've been to Belgium a couple of times and on both trips, there was allotted time for tourism. I've never been hear, but Belgium is, in my opinion, a "hidden gem" for American tourists who might not even consider going there if they visit Europe. It's a beautiful country, wonderful people and the history is very old and rich, even by European standards. I hope you make your way to Antwerp but, honestly, any old city (and not just Bruges) is a wonderful place to visit and document. Oh, and be sure to enjoy a few pounds of chocolate. Belgium chocolate truly is the best in the world!
Wow, I so much enjoyed watching this; thank you so much! Amazing ruins, and imagining what it looked like in its glory days. My son and wife just came back from a visit to Brussels but they did only city high tourist places. I would have totally preferred this. Looking forward to where else you go.
I'm surprised you're able to plod about unfettered through the ruins. Anyone willing to cross an ocean to this awesome little country roughly the size of Los Angeles County would be well served to visit the Trappiste monks of Rochefort. There, you can purchase the best beer in the world. Everybody knows it. Not far down the road, maybe 4 or 5 kilometers, you can visit the village of Han-sur-Lesse and their world-famous grottos and safari park. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae
It's so sad that magnificent buildings are in ruins like this all over Europe. In the UK, we have so many places like this that could be restored. I feel we have lost pride in our history. Henry 8th created so much destruction in Britain.
Hey Chris! It's so cool that you've the chance to travel in Europe. This is a fascinating video, and I'm sure a thrill to walk through these ancient ruins. Thanks to Henry VIII, England is fiull of ruined abbeys. One day maybe you'll get to visit?!
Will require scrolling back a bit, but Chris spent almost an entire summer in England about 3 years ago, visiting a wide variety of locations! He's also previously visited Iceland (4 years ago?) and Norway (I think that was 2 years ago), both with an extensive collection of interesting videos.
When you were showing the prison. I'm pretty sure the cells were not for just one person. They probably had each cell packed full of people. That's why they looked so big to be for just one person.
Men with horse drawn carts built these all over Europe? Come on. Is that even logical? There must have been an abundance of workers, engineers, stone masons and glass workers during those dark ages🤣🤣. Our history isn’t always what we have been told.
