Abandoned Lucifers Castle (Devils Millionaires Mansion) 

*edit* some glitchy parts are being corrected right now, trimming them out! They should be fixed soon. Hey RoninFam! How are all of you doing? Hope you guys will enjoy this exploration! It's by far my favorite mansion I've ever explored (crazy I know) but it's true! I've never explored such rooms ever in my life and I can't believe how gigantic this place is! Also, we probably won't be seeing another video like this ever again! The place is now completely sealed up and they're now trying to open the place again! So as of right now I don't think it's abandoned! But anyway, what did you guys think about this explore? :) Don't Forget To SHARE And Leave a THUMBS UP! :) Follow My Social Media For Behind The Scenes!

The piano is an Erard. And just so you know, one in really bad shape goes for around 10 grand. A restored one will sell for about 200,000 dollars. You just never know what you'll find, creeping around those old mansions.

26.33 if you look closely at the frieze along the upper wall, there are little devils on it getting up to all sorts of mischief. You can see their tails and horns quite clearly and 2 appear to be playing tennis with something. This may well be the reason behind the name for the chateau. The style of wallpaper is called 'Trompe l'oeil' which means to fool the eye, it gives an optical illusion of depth and perspective and a 3d effect. Way cheaper than actual carvings.

The wood work is gorgeous. There were so many things I saw that were just amazing. Probably built in the late 1700s-1800s. The fireplaces and ceilings...oh just marvelous. The wall paper back then was terrific. They take pieces of wallpaper now, to make reprints of old patterns. Shame I didn't grow up in that house when built. However, I'd want all my family in it. Lol! 4 out of the 10 of us would've stayed in the library reading all day! Wish we could've seen more.😔 Great video ! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.👍and⭐⭐⭐⭐from me❤

It's so strange knowing that people lived out their lives there, raised their children there, and likely watched their grand children run around there. They experienced many of the same pleasures and pains of life that befall all of us. And yet, they no longer exist in the here and now.

The piano was made by Sebastian Erard. World famous French piano maker.

You ask if we recognize what the books were about, but you never zoom in so we can see the titles.

The piano that didn't play is an organ. Back then, an organ would have a foot pedal tjat would have to be pumped for it "ran on air." The foot pedal would pump air through chambers and pipes of different sizes and notes. Hence a Pipe Organ! (So that's why the piano as you called it didn't work)

I hoped you closed the shutter and window before leaving those books are surprisingly not faded

Should visit ireland .... theres a abanded house going back from the 1500s...... !!

The owners left behind History. Such a Magnificent Masterpiece. I even saw a face in the wall. The pianos and furniture is well preserved, and the home itself is a Historical Library. Love those fireplaces. Good job you guys, I'm waiting on the next adventure. Thumps up.

Love your channel. Just one little advice though, try to move the camera more slowly so we can see the details of the place. 😊

I suspect the "mini library" with the fancier glass doors, might have been for the most valuable "first editions" or something similar. Something more protected from kids wondering around the mansion maybe?

pay attention to what the titles of the books and what they are about tells you a lot about who they were

Having been a page in a public library and an avid reader, this mansion is one of my favorite videos! Thank you for taking the time you did in the library 😊

"Does anyone recognize what these books are about"? Hold the freaking camera still for 2 seconds and I'd have told you.

SOO sad to have such beautiful place left alone the walls must weep without its owner hopes pray no one vandalizes it

Wow can you imagine the staff needed back in the day for the up keeping of this huge mansion. Way to big. Great video Steve and friends thank you.

This place is INSANE! Thanks for sharing.

love that palace....but try not to scan the rooms so quickly, makes me dizzy

Slow down on your motion of the camera

Having been part of a Law Firm, we had an amazing library. It looks like law books and bundles of precedents waiting for binding.

Stumbled across your channel. So very impressed with your work. Immediately subscribed and I'm working my way through them. This chateau had so many priceless items. So glad your able friend got the French beds and that you got that beautiful music room. That grand piano was pristine. Looked to me like there were a lot of periodicals in the library. And in the adjacent room for more expensive books, some of those paperbacks reminded me of old scripts of plays. The library stairs were so lovely. Anyway, just my thoughts, I'm really loving your channel. Keep up the great work. Oh, almost forgot, your photography is first rate!

Loving the soft background music...

Nice view!! For those who ask... The entire building is listed among the historical monuments since 2002. Since, this been owned and used for marketing in wine industry and for the vineyard. I wish I could restore it. But you guys seems nice and under educated, but I kinda like your style. So to be sure you understand what this is, notice that in France: "The violation of domicile by an individual is sanctioned by a prison sentence of one year and does fine of 15,000 euros (Article 226-4 of the Penal Code)." Even if the door was open... Now you know.

STEVE!! That freaking Mora Clock at the very beginning, when your talking to that dude....!!!!!😳🤯 holy crap!!! My mouth HIT the floor!

This place gives me the creeps for some reason I feel like it’s still being used

So gorgeous. Magnificent in every aspect. THAT LIBRARY OMG. I'd die. Thank you so much for sharing

They had no TV. They read books & played musical instruments.

It was a very beautiful chateau, but I just wish that you didn't move the camera so quickly. The small library within the library may have housed first and second edition books or very special books at least. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!

Hope the books are pulled and placed in a historical safe place before the building is consumed by black mold.

"There are French dudes... you hear them and smell them" - HILARIOUS!

FIRST! 🔥 great video homie. Never explored such a beautiful castle in my life, was a pleasure exploring it together with you! 🙏🏼

Absolutely elegant Chateau! That library is incredible! Also great work as usual Steve, Thanks again for what you do. So inspirational and incredible. Just subbed to Explomo too :)

i really like the way you have developed this perfection of presenting these abandoned places. We glory in the magnificent library, the handsome brass bedsteads even the slight lack of excitement of some of the rooms. You have shown the truth. You show us round by yourself, giving us a chance to feel as if we are exploring with only you thus allowing the atmosphere to envelop us with the aid of the delicate piano music that allows the past to feel like the past. A minimal disturbance of the dust. Your slo-mo entrance through the doorway, a speeding up the stairs fast and silently, detaching you [and us] from time to match speeds with the building that has got stuck at the point of the mysterious abandonment, with only a soft decay to mark the passing of slow still ages. Then you show us the outdoors, the peeling paint and overgrowth of plants that still leave space to imagine and still we are in the past, pierced by the poignancy of the missing inhabitants. Where are they? Why have they left? When you leave, you are suddenly busily noisy in the present emphasising the contrast in a way that leaves our experience of the place as a separate unspoiled perfection. Well done!! I hope your family are proud of you!

small staircases usually were the stairs the maids had to use

Absolutely stunning, I wish someone would rescue it

Extraordinary. Some major damage. Did you ever find out what those other guys were up to? I like that ladder in the library and the use of a lighter wood. I would be there all day just checking out everything. So beautiful. With the damage I am thinking the people who lived there didn't have enough money to make it right. Ahhhh a vineyard.

Omg it is so sad when i see those houses abondoned and destroyed because some people out there need it but any way i love your channel

Books do look valuable I'm surprised all that stuff is still there with that many people still going thru it

One of the screenshots of the books I took shows the following: Selling today for $750 on eBay for one book Views in India, China, and the Shores of the Red Sea; Drawn by Prout, Stanfield, Cattermole, Purser, Cox, Austen, &c. From Original Sketches by Commander Robert Elliott, R.N. with descriptions by Emma Roberts published by H. Fisher, R. Fisher & P. Jackson, London (1833-1844) Original engraving over 170 years old

Oh my gosh l would love to go through the books

Floors doors and fireplaces are stunning :: I love that small library is amazing

PLEASE PLEASE STOP SWINGING THE CAMERA ABOUT!!!!! I had to leave this because you were making me quite sick !!!

Hope you didn't touch the green wallpaper it is loaded with arsenic.

The leaking is probably the roof water exits that are busted, if any would make a adjustment to redirect water flow from the roof away from the building. Water damage would stop though. It would probably stand another 50 years.

❤️❤️Stunning Video! Don't think I would ever abandon such a beautiful place

I would have loved to seen this home in it’s prime.

I just found and joined your Channel. I want to commend you for how you show these places to us. Giving us a small look into what once was! You give them life! Also, thank you for being respectful of the homes😘

I think the bust is of Voltaire. I want the library ladder!!!!

I love looking at these massive homes....and it's terrific that you have a drone to give us a view from over head. :) Thanks Steve.

You can almost see the people walking around going about their daily lives. To all you guys. THE BEST!!!!.TY.. that place was BEAUTIFUL. great job. Perfect music.

1,087 rooms.. you must be high from the mold. that was more than likely the square footage of a certain area'

I saw the Bros of Decay and said what! Gotta see...Great place, beautiful

I can't believe how well preserved it is. The fact that a lot of the items have been left there is absolutely amazing. In the US it would have been picked clean. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing... I've watched a few of your videos, thanks for being so respectful of these properties. You are walking through a treasure chest of memories when you explore these buildings that were once people's homes. It's a shame that these beautiful buildings have been abandoned to nature, I hope someone someday will restore them to their former glory. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us. Stay safe ❤️🏚️

How long has it been abandoned. Who lived there, and where is the house

slow down with the camera i couldnt see the names on the books

Sébastien Érard (born Sebastian Erhard, 5 April 1752 - 5 August 1831) was a French instrument maker of German origin who specialised in the production of pianos and harps, developing the capacities of both instruments and pioneering the modern piano. Also, the pic ( on this wikipedia page)of the brand on The piano looked exactly like that one!

It’s a great old building but you need to steady your camera work and zoom out so we can see the big picture, but your doing a respectful job at your exploring.

10:02 You can find out who the family was based on the family crest on the fireplace!

What an amazing video, you deserve more subscribers.

God what a magnificent place, you are so lucky to get to see it....in its heyday it must have been out of this world. The Library, the hand painted wall renderings, the fire places omg, outstanding! Thanks for an excellent vid....that's a 10 all day long, well done!

Hey that's a proper Templar Lodge! See the carvings on that Fawcett/basin/fountain thing at the beginning, plus ALL the carvings. It most deffinately IS a Lucifer Palace.

Steve & Crew, thank you for another fine video. Your respect, example of safety, and overall concern for our history and heritage Still impresses me. Your music is ever respectful.

Wherever you go: BE GOOD AND DO NOT STEAL EVER.

The biggest killer of these old buildings are the water logged decaying roofs and the ivy. In Ireland there used to be a roof tax so to keep an old building on your property by removing the roof you became devoid of the tax and inadvertently saved many buildings from falling to the ground, “off course these would be completely empty not like this one” because as the roof trusses expand with water they push out the walls then the ivy grows in the cracks causing the whole building to crumble. Now there are grants here to re-roof the remainder ones with galvanize roofs which you are required to do which is considerably cheaper than full renovation but protects them till some love or money turns up in the future. This fine building needs a roof badly cause it still has retained all its fixtures, god this one needs fixing I’d love to get my hands at it what a shame. This where the councils should send men’s retirement groups and community service placements to give them a love for there environment cause you can’t work in one off these places and not fall in love with it. It’s too vast for one owner to tackle.

I don't understand why people. build these palaces and then abandon them it is very sad to see so much beautiful and valuables abandoned things

Being French-Canadian, thought this might help for some who aren't sure Translations from English to French Castle ~ Chateau Palace ~ Palais Mansion ~ Manoir

Why do you open windows..allowing birds damage to occur quicker.thats care less

Amazing explore Steve. Absolutely beautiful place can imagine the French men riding up on horseback and the servers cleaning the house.

I see French, Arabic ,& Asian literature in that library. Multi linguini

All that wealth rotting away. and no one to take care of it, sad:

5:47 That might be an Absinthe fountain or a very fancy sink.

gasoline has a shelf life of about 6 months especially if it's exposed to air... after that it thickens and becomes like goo.

vinoscope lexact - pipette measure the alcohol in wine

min 12:22 this seems to be a electronic lock... perhaps for a secret door?

I wish I'm there and see the books myself I would check every book and what is it about

I got horrible chills when you guys walked passed that barn area...

Your moving of the cam is making me dizzy. Slowwwwww down.

The only thing that annoys me is that you pulled out the mail and did not have the sense to look at the postage date or read the names. ALSO WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU GUYS NOT WEAR GLOVES.

Can you imagine the cost of utilities ? Up keep,taxes....wow

There are probably a lot of things that are still quite valuable in the chateau. I commend you for not taking anything. Very respectful.

Wonderful video and I really loved everything I saw.Loved the doors.Thank you for showing this Mansion.Take care.

Beautiful castle! You're extremely talented Steve. Thanks for sharing 😊

I really love that house wish I could see inside in person y'all done a great job shooting that keep up the good work guys

By far you have the best job/career/lifestyle ... to be able to do what you do! I can't imagine getting to explore the places you're going to! Feel so lucky to get to explore this with you! Thanks for taking us along. Even with that ominous name for this chateau, I would love to live there ... in secret (???) ... and the books ❣❣❣❣ .... I would want to read and touch each book in there! A crying shame that it has fallen into such disrepair... someone should have been a caretaker to the property! What beautiful things still are kept there.

At 26:48 is that a pillow top mattress and rainbow sweeper? That is much more modern than anything in the rest of the house. I also hope you closed the window and shutters before you left.

Hello steve i was amazed on thos books..30:41those are old version volume of encyclopedias.nice videos....

Wonderful content and home! Camera movement a bit too fast moving and shaky compared to the usual you make. Ty for sharing these videos!

Big doors are beautiful...the llittle room for the books is probably colections and maybe first editions. should always ck the inside cover...love the shutters outside..Fantastic trip lots of wonderful places..wish you could have gotten more of this place but will ck out the others guys sites..Thanks dee

Ooh, Steve loves libraries as much as I do!

awesome video, love this abandoned castle. Shared on my facebook for you! ;) happy day's keep up the good work! ;)

Why people so fascinated by Lucifer. I wouldn't want to go in there if that's the case. Rich people have secrets that's why they lived way out.

I absolutely love all of your musical choices for your videos.

Love the slo mo part when you walked towards the stairs. awesome editing!!!!!!!!!!!

you have to open a book to see what its about

I love your French friend's voice 💋

Just found your channel & loving it❤ Very nice choice of music, enchanting..✨🍃 looking forward to more! 👍

Steve, what a very beautiful and stunning abandoned mansion! Really enjoyed your video.
