This mansion was the home of Marcel and his beloved wife Petra. Marcel was originally from the city of Zurich, Switzerland where he grew up and later took over the family business of producing zinc, a highly successful company that operated out of China.
Aside from his career, Marcel was passionate about two things- his family, and the restoration of historical buildings. In fact, at the age of 50, he decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of moving out of the city and into the peaceful countryside of France… but under the condition that he find a historical manor that needed desperate renovation to restore it to its former glory. He did just that
He found 17th century mansion perched upon a hill just on the outskirts of a small, peaceful French village and he created a masterpiece from the bear bones the mansion had been for many years. After the work was completed, he started a new life with his family here and so began the next chapter of his life.
Eventually, his children all grew up and moved away to other parts of the world and so Marcel and Petra lived out their years in the home until 2010, when Petra was diagnosed with cancer and died the following year. Marcel, also battling his own health problems was now unable to walk and barley able to take care of himself.
Losing his beloved wife proved to be too much for Marcel. Battling his own set of health issues from his old age, he was now unable to walk and barley able to take care of himself, let alone deal with the loneliness that haunted him.
Surrounded by the walls he'd built for his family, they'd become hellacious reminders of the love, the joy, and the life that was once here but is now gone with the passing of time.
Not long after his wife's death, in 2013, Marcel died, alone in his house. One can only speculate he grieved himself to death.
Sadly, even though his children were to inherit the property, they've all been in a legal battle with each other for nearly a decade, unable to reach an agreement on how to divide the estate. Meanwhile, the once marvelous masterpiece their father had created now sits completely abandoned and decaying with every year that passes.
So come with me on this exploration and let's have a look at what's left inside of Marcel's home.
