STORY
A centuries-old castle, forgotten for decades, awaits our exploration on the outskirts of France. Today, we uncover the remnants of a desolate 1700s fairytale castle, once the magnificent home of the Chantille family.
This Château, once a beacon of grandeur, now stands frozen in time. As we step through its gates, we are transported into a world of faded elegance and haunting beauty. Despite our extensive research, the Chantille family's story remains largely a mystery. They were influential and prominent, but their fortunes mysteriously vanished, leaving their legacy to crumble into abandonment.
Inside, the castle's preservation is surprisingly striking. The master bedroom boasts a majestic red canopy bed. In the dining room, a long oak table stretches across the space, surrounded by high-backed chairs. The living room houses a grand piano, waiting for a concert that will never play again.
Each room offers a snapshot of the past-from the library filled with leather-bound books to the parlor adorned with antique furniture. This castle, though desolate, is a time capsule, preserving the essence of an era long gone.
Join us as we delve into the fascinating past of this castle, where every corner reveals a story waiting to be uncovered.

The man in the picture is Victor Charreton a famous French painter, his name was written on the bottom if the first picture you showed. He was born in 1864 and married Emly Chatin in 1893, you showed her funeral picture in the wardrobe. The group picture you found in the corridor looks to me that it was taken the day of the marriage . He died in 1936 at the age of 72. Thank you for this amazing journey!

Seeing these properties left behind to decay absolutely kills me because I'd give a limb to live in such an environment or pass such on to my children. I wish there was more of a conservation effort to restore/preserve these houses and all the history they contain.

@vondahartsock-oneil3343 3 дня назад

well they are preserved and this place is privately owned. It's on the Historical Preservation list. The facades, roof and staircases are protected. It's not hundreds of yrs old either. It was built between 1885-1882 by the Dupre family. When he passed, the noble Polish family took it over until 1923 when Swiss industrialist and Council member Henry Burras bought it to ride horses on the property. WWll caused much of the castles and Chateau's downfall. I started there, b/c Nazi's took over all the castles and manor houses etc...when they invaded and if you were Jewish or Polish....out you went. Research is real simple if you know history.

the electrical wiring conduit in the attic is further proof that this building was lived in recently--just a decade or so ago. there was an apple computer terminal in one of the bedrooms and in one of the wardrobes there was an extensive lineup of vhs video cassettes. There were also very modern (5-10 years go) plastic water bottles on one table. Someone had rifled through all of the drawers and pulled out pictures, documents, books--all manner of stuff that had been stowed away by the prior residents. The cast iron radiator was pulled out from the wall for someone to check to see if there were perhaps copper plumbing to be salvaged/stolen. The rock wool insulation in the attic had been there for a long time in order to enable the place to be heated when the last person(s) was/were living there.

This place is an example of how the free energy system worked … the outside copper antennas at the peaks of the domes would pull in the waves and then the domes would act as the anode/cathode would (like a battery) …. I think that the twisted braid copper wiring in old homes is remnants of a free energy system …. Yeah … there would still be in home wiring involved with the free energy system, because there has to be a direct link connection to the battery. & they utilized metals extremely well it seems, if the outside and inside are both adorned with metals …. What makes you think they couldn’t twist some of it together and use it the same way we do … pay attention to how it directly connects to the other lighting fixtures, it’s just the twisted pair coming straight into it. That beautiful chandelier and all the other metals you seen around the home act like switches/taps/splitters and then they push the current to those itty bitty light bulbs … fo’ free But, yeah most likely it has been renovated and updated at some point, but the framework of design is still there When you do these, take notice of the metals and pay attention to the marble, the marble is the grandest architectural feature in these kind of homes … a lot of the homes I’ve seen like these were built on an older buildings marble foundation or had incorporated the marble and built on top … take some close ups of how the stones are precisely perfect at the angles and stuff and highlight any sort of engravings or detailings within the stones if you notice any.

@denisevincent4050 День назад

By the architecture and interior decor, never mind the wealth of photos that other people have identified, this Chateau was built in the late 19th century, during the Belle Époque (after the Franco-Prussian War and before WWI). The equivalent aesthetic in the US is the Gilded Age. In both places, rich industrialists built summer homes based on the fantasy of faded monarchies. It's not 17th century. The Mansard roof is a giveaway. I'm almost certain that you'd draw a wider audience if you labeled it as an Belle Époque summer home.

@Sarah-sd8pp 5 дней назад

The heraldic symbol of France that you refer to was in use for centuries before the multiple generations of kings named “Louis” in the 19th century. It’s called the “fleur de lis”, with lis meaning “lily”. The symbol itself is a representation of a lily and was adopted as heraldic symbol of France before 1000ce. It remained the flag of France until the second revolution in the 19th century when the current tri color flag was adopted. The symbol is definitely not unique to France, having been used in heraldry and national standards throughout Europe and the colonies of Europe, though it’s most commonly associated with the French. Just fyi.

@michaelpenyard7129 2 дня назад

Excellent info, Sarah - I would only add one thing. All of the French aristocracy used the Fleur de Lys - but the King used three only. I had a fireplace in my house with the 3 carved over it; and then they had been 'shaved off' in the Revolution! Best wishes, Michael x

The parts shown in the video are unused parts of the chateau. There is a caretaker currently living on the grounds. These guys got special permission to show the unused parts of the chateau. It was never owned by the Chantilly family. (not Chantille).

This place is all over the internet. It's on Wikipedia. "The Château de Bon-Hôtel is a château of the 19th century, located in Ligny-le-Ribault, in Loiret in the region of Centre-Val de Loire." "Georges Dupré de Saint Maur, general councilor of the canton of La Ferté-Saint-Aubin (1877-1889) and mayor of Ligny-le-Ribault (1878-1902), had the château built between 1875 and 1882. In 1923, the château, which at that time belonged to the Poniatowski family, was acquired by the Swiss industrialist Henry Burrus to indulge his passion for horse riding. The château has been listed in the inventory of historic monuments since September 3, 1991." "The building was initially designed to be a place for social receptions and more particularly a hunting meeting place." The 1st room you went into was the kitchen and the smaller room behind it with the giant moldy spider web was a pantry/servants room (kinda like a butler's closet). Understand that you had to miss some rooms. I would love to see the whole place and floor plans. The architecture of old buildings fascinates me.

@petermcalley4663 День назад

Just looked up what you say. Yes you are correct. Cannot understand why the Bros of Decay did not know this when they went there. And fail to understand how they got access when the building is closed to the public. And their estimated date of construction as 17th century when records show it was built in the 19th century. And not much mystery about it at all. Must say I did enjoy their walk though of the building though.

@petermcalley4663 I like French stuff (lol, that sounds generic). Got curious because with a building that old and that size, there had to be info on it. The architecture didn't really look like French 1700s to me. The name "Chantille" they gave in the video description doesn't seem to exist. There is a different spelling of it "Chantilly". There is a place called The Château de Chantilly. A whole area called Chantilly actually. From Wikipedia "Chantilly is a commune in the Oise department in the Valley of the Nonette in the Hauts-de-France region of Northern France. Surrounded by Chantilly Forest, the town of 10,863 inhabitants (2017) falls within the metropolitan area of Paris." They hyped up their narrative to gain views. They really should think more about what they are doing and how they do it. Goes to show they are not professional nor historians. How old do you think they are, (lol) they are calling themselves bros... mid 30s at the most.

I can't believe nobody has bought this absolutely gorgeous Castle to renovate? It is exquisite. Loved the painted ceiling, the interesting doorways, some fabulous light fittings, but the best is the actual outside, a true fairytale castle

Thank you, Lesley and Danny. I look forward to each new adventure. I am an explorer at heart and love being taken along for these wondrous experiences. Your respect and honoring of each place and those of whom once lived there is admirable. It is heartbreaking to see all of the treasures left to decay, though. I wonder if you realize that even the area rugs that are left behind are truly of beautiful craftsmanship worth tens of thousands of dollars? And the stunning antiques! But none of those things can match the priceless value of photos, personal memorabilia, and memories. If walls could talk…!

The plumbing valves (in furnace room) appear to be the newer inline ball valves (1990s) and also the insulation used on the pipes about same age. The furnace appears to be a little older, maybe later 1960's early 70's. Although the castle was more likely built in the 1800's, it has been updated at some time. Either to live in or perhaps it was utilized as a museum open to public, considering the way it appears to be staged. It's definitely not as "owners left behind". It is a magnificient and beautiful structure, none the less, and I thank you for the tour.

Gosh, I’d love to buy this place and restore it to its former glory. I can imagine the sounds of children running and laughing through the halls. Stunning.

It is actually 19th century - 1875

@barcelonalocaloca 9 часов назад

It's clearly 1800's. Late 1800's in a neo-renaissance style.

I absolutely LOVEEEE and SOOO APPRECIATE the respect you pay these homes and their contents! Your knowledge is also greatly enjoyed! If only homes and the furnishings within were made with such care, quality, and artistry nowadays....of course the powers that truly run our world have made that financially impossible. Thank you so much for these walks backward in time.
