Exploring an Abandoned Stately Mansion in Portugal From 1810 *Time Capsule* 

When you were looking at the "stuffing" in the chair, I don't think it was straw, but horsehair. Back in the day, that's what they used, hair from a horse's tail. Beautiful antiques in the home! Now a days, young people here in the USA, don't like them much. I personally, love them, but I'm not young! LOL!

Hi Lesley and Jordy, Bros of Decay, Just shortly before I was on my way to sleep, your latest video popped up. - Of course I could not resist watching, and I must say once more: amazing! - You always surprise me in a most agreeable and pleasant way. - At first it is just a pure pleasure walking in mind together with you through these once back in the days very grand looking rooms with their fading beauty nevertheless still visible. - Then by listening to your lovely voice narrating in a most interesting and inspiring way, what you are seeing and experiencing, the items in these abandoned slowly decaying rooms seem to gain a new life. - Just wonderful! Also Jordy was doing as always an excellent job with his camera. - I hope you are well and wishing you all the best. Peace, blessings and kindest regards from Switzerland. - Take care and stay safe in these insecure times.

I loved the double doors on the bedrooms and all the transom windows in this place. Like some of the other people commented, I was amazed at the condition of this place, considering the age. Great camera work, Jordy. I felt like I was walking in each room with you.

That must have been a beautiful home at one time. Really enjoyed seeing all the hand carved furniture.

The bed you said reminded you of a boat is called a sleigh bed. Think: a sleight (sled) ride in the snow. The reason you see lots of them in Europe, as we do in America, is because their origins is French and American. Beautiful old home.

Love your respect of the properties and the people that may have lived there. Thank you.

12:12 Lesley it is an old coffee grinder from the 1920s or '30s that one I do know my grandma had one at the lake the exact one.

Your videos are never too long. This was one of my favorites! Thank you.....

That front room use to be called a 'Parlor' or 'sitting room' used to receive guests. Back in the day if a boy and girl were to meet, that is where they would spend time.

Q1 1st this was a really beautiful home in its time, and is still not in nearly as bad shape as many others of similar age. I noticed some glasses in the cabinet that look to be made by a very skilled glass blower, they are very fine and thin, and probably as old as the building. The carving on the master bed is incredibly fine and intricate, such as shame such craftsmanship is left to quietly decay after being a part of so much history. Imagine the stories these walls and furnishings could tell. Thank you for showing this to us, stay safe out there, and keep on having fun.🖤🇨🇦

Luv this. Always picture the people there living

Love this mansion, especially that huge masterpiece of a bed in your introduction. The headboard carefully crafted for a Royal. I have never seen a canopy bed so spectacularly designed. This bed was a special order, and they had the money to do it. They loved their home, furnishings and were quite proud of their family name. 23:33 I believe this design is called a Sleigh Bed. Soooooooo much beauty left behind and naturally decaying. Surprisingly haunting, after 40 years of abandonment, the furnishings all look strong and sturdy, just needs a little cleaning. Definitely a Time Capsule.💕💕

Love your videos and seeing all this incredible history love the old furniture especially the beds be safe as always .From Kentucky. USA.

I love this guy. I almost can't watch anyone but him. I am 67 yrs old. And I know a great guy when I see one. You must be a good son.

Beautiful! You have a very pleasant voice!

A friend is looking for that very Pfaff 31 treadle sewing machine! Very rare in America! So excited to see that machine!!!

Hello Lesley, I enjoy your videos immensely. You have a wonderful voice for narrating and your respect for these marvelous places makes for a very professional production. Through your narrating, one feels the soul of these special homes and the people that once dwelt in them. Your videos are by far the best in this genre. Peace to you and yours.

Love love watching all the antique furniture, in Europe the bathrooms used to be very large which is a good thing. but now I dont know..thank you guys....protect yourself from this outbreak..♥️

That was a fantastic old home with a lot left behind. Under the bed was a chamber pot and the curved bed you liked is called a sleigh bed because it was shaped like the old horse drawn sleigh's. Stay safe and have fun boys.

I love the darker woodwork of the cabinets &chests such a waste of history document it for future. Thanks for sharing keep filming

Wow that was one huge house/mansion, Thank you for explaining the European laws in regards to the properties and contents, Answered my questions. So very very sad all that beautiful Genuine Antique furniture will just rot. Thank you guys. Be safe hugs from Australia xx

The tile on the kitchen walls looks like it's brand new!!! Amazing old home!

Beautiful furniture and home. Yes in America that furniture would be worth a small fortune. Loved that Master bedroom bed wow... Thank you for taking the time to show us all the history.

We love longer videos. When you go into detail about furniture and dishes that is great!

Your video`s are the Best & you as a sweet caring person is so great to listen too! Jordy you are doing a great job & a sturdy hand not to shake while holding the camera-video! Stay safe & take care love you both from Illinois USA

You always make the houses seem more real and livable. I’ve said before, I didn’t know the Portuguese were such elaborate furniture makers. Sleigh beds, triple chairs in hall, innovative ideas.

A sad neglected mansion that could be preserved and restored to it's former glory. I guess the last descendents weren't as lucky or rich as the first generation. An Amazing grand house full of faded memories and dust. Great explore. Thank you for exploring these historic old homes left behind.

These gorgeous rugs, beautiful pieces of furniture, the china, frames, mirrors, the books, art, history, gorgeous doors, ironwork, the chapels, windows, stairs, woodwork, stone, the gardens, the homes. . . I hate to see it rot. Thank you for showing the beauty in all of these places, maybe someone else will appreciate it and save some before another day goes by!

Such neet antiques in this house. You are right; they would be a fortune in America.

Hey guys I love your videos, I'm kinda new too your channel. This one was my favorite because showed us a lot more content and no it wasn't too long. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU BROS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fab place, fabulous bed- I’d love that. Also that fridge. Your camera work is so good as it doesn’t make me dizzy at all. Great explore 🌹

Hi guys, the shield on the wall is called a coat of arms. It is so interesting to follow you around on these trips and have a chance to see all these abandoned homes and buildings. It's like having my own narrated tour. Thank you.

Fantastic bedroom furniture!!! Thank you Leslie Jordy!!!!!

I can't believe those antiques aren't worth anything over there! That just blows my mind. I would GLADLY have that furniture in my home and be proud of it!!

I love your voice and your amazing accent as I stroll through all your outstanding videos. Keep up the good explores, my bros. Best regards from a most ardent fan from Canada.

Awesome video guys! Thanks for sharing these places.

I love, that despite the house being in disrepair or vandals strewing items about, you are both very respectful in what and how you touch items. You remember that people lived there, loved there, and created memories. Bravo to you both and thank-you 😊

Hi both it’s Ann,what an amazing beautiful home in it’s day .i under stand now you said if you put the furniture outside,it wouldn’t be taken ,an they would be fined .You learn something new each day ,in England ,it would cost a lot if you were to buy them ,thank you Lesley for that .i love all the kitchen things ,coffee grinder ,meat grinder ,the iron must be really heavy ,can’t imagine using it .Love some of the fireplaces an doorways beds .thank you for taking us around with you my favourite explorers much love Ann uk xxx

the newspaper you read at 4:42, it's about a member of the Church, really important, "Cardeal" means "Cardinal"

That bed!!!! Oh my goodness ♡♡

the outside and the architectures of the house and grounds are my favorites to see

I love the windows on each side of the front door

OMG the intricately handcarved headboard, handturned posts on that 4-poster canopy bed in the master BR is unbelievable!! Finest quality craftsmanship!! IMO, the handcrafted wooden decor is worth more than the entire home!! FABULOUS PORTUGAL EXPLORE 😍👌❣️

Of all the urbex that I watch you guys are the most respectful and entertaining.

Bros of decay I take my hat off to you guys 🎩 I stumbled on ur RU-vid channel maybe few months ago now and I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE seeing all these abandoned houses I too loved it since I was a child I am fascinated with the stories behind these once upon a time occupied house’s they are ordinary people just like u and me i’m move me to tears 😭 I can’t explain the feeling i get I feel so many different emotions when I’m watching ur channel theres an overwhelming sense of sadness I can’t put into words especially when I’m hearing some of the sad stories attached to these abandoned houses and when I see all there precious belongings just left there it’s so precious!! I see priceless photos , clothes , property , furniture, and the dinner table where they once sat together one day they just up and left leaving all there things behind ... cups , plates all these things left in the exact same spot not touched or moved 🤭 it’s eerie like a ghost town everything is still there after so many years its frozen in time it’s like going back into a time capsule u can’t help but imagine how it would have been like when they all lived there together 😭 I can imagine hearing them hearing the laughter , all the family occasions , all the activities the gatherings it truly makes me appreciate life all the more because life is like a puff of smoke 💨it’s like a vapour here today gone tomorrow u realise when u see this how the years go by so fast everything is already in the process of decay! house’s are like people they have a body (outer shell) and the inner is like the soul of a person who once lived but then dies , once that soul dies it vacates the body just like these houses there’s nothing but emptiness left behind leaving us to wonder about there live stories, truly people make the house a home!! I’m sad there all gone it gives us all a glimpse into our own future makes you want to be more appreciative! truly life is a gift 🎁 from God! I will love to give donations from time to time because it’s well worth what you guys are doing .I see your love and passion ur appreciation for these abandoned house’s is evident. God bless you u guys stay safe with love Victoria🥰♥️

Hi Lesley & Johnny you called him Jody at the beginning of the video it's great to see you guys this place should be a historic building & shouldn't be left to Rot it saddens me, it's disgusting how other people have thrown there paperwork all over the floor & have damaged a chair & 2 seater that's an antique it angers me that some people have no respect for an historic home, I watch your videos Lesley cos you always respect every abandoned home or building thanks for that please be careful incase there are any unsafe floors etc in the home, I hope the Portuguese will see this as a historical building & restore it to it's former beautiful home I'm just asking are there any living relatives whox could turn this home into a museum? I'm glad you didn't break that bottle lol bless you, it's sad that antiques are just left to Rot 😢, I'm from the UK Lesley we respect antiques here I have my pledge furniture Polish & duster at the ready to tackle that dust on the table lol I'd wear gloves cos polish always makes my hands feel odd I will find out what year the sewing machine was made & let you know I'd say 1800's by the look of it an antique definitely I think that machine is a meat grinder I don't know for definite it looks like one you made me laugh when you said did they shower outside lol yeah you found a shower upstairs in the bathroom I think it would be 2 cold to shower outside & the neighbours would see you so definitely not lol I like your detailed videos guys it's interesting seeing how this royal family lived thanks guys.

Amazing place and such incredible furniture left behind. Lots of vintage things to see. Thank you for the video.

I have become addicted to your videos. I most appreciate that you respect these homes, I am as excited as you are as you go from room to room. I also collect vintage and love to see your finds. I am sad that no one can rescue all the furniture or books.

Thank you so very much for showing us this lovely old home! You both do an amazing job! Bless you!

You’re absolutely the greatest! Thank You so much! Love what you do. I can’t see anything from these except for you. To quote a fav. Pastor of mine, “May God richly bless you, my beloved.”

I appreciate you finding the history of the place, as much as you can. The story behind the family.

Hi Lesley an Georgie it’s beautiful amazing,I love the chairs an beds .so sad they stand empty,to decay ,thank you for sharing take care ,Ann uk

Superb! Loved all the beautiful beds. Don't think I've seen such a variety before. Thank you for a lovely episode.

Excellent footage. Thank you so much. 🌹💟💟🌹

Amazing house!! i love all the antiques, bottles and chairs.I love painting old funiture and refurbating the old to look new.

Thank you for filming this place. The furniture is stunningly beautiful. Looks like a large family lived here. Stay safe guys.

Thank you young men. That was a fascinating tour.

Wow!! That bed is incredible and so is this place 😍 Thank you for another wonderful video!!

The stairs are absolutely gorgeous!

Beautifully done video! I enjoyed it very much!😊 Thank you both.

That red grinder thing in the kitchen is probably for grinding coffee beans

No surprise one more amazing video from you guys. Thank you so much for a wonderful job. It was very enjoyable to watch. Beautiful place. On to the next video.

Wonderful home. I think I counted ten bedrooms.

Absolutely beautiful love the old furniture so sad that they had to leave their home Thank you for sharing this beautiful amazing house and all the beautiful memories great video

I think this was one of my absolute favorites. The homes infrastructure, furnishings and pictures were amazing, the coat of arms speaks to me from history and the grounds and garden were spectacular - I can envision it beautiful and bustling with 19th century subjects. Stunning.

Very cool indeed!! thanks for sharing.

This is the most amazing place and of course you showcased it beautifully. Would love to have seen it in its earlier years. Another great explore. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️

The furniture is stunning!!! Thanks for sharing.

That place is just amazing!!

Wow that’s a beautiful place. Look at the furniture. Thanks for the exploration

Watching this now. Always so beautifully done. Experts and perfect beyond your years. I love the maturity you exemplify when exploring and doing the videos. Thank you both, for sharing your view of the world with us!!! 😘😘❤️❤️👍👍💯💯💯

Magnífico 👏👏👏 gracias por compartir esta experiencia .

I especially love your videos and the longer the better! I prefer to watch at night before I go to sleep. Leslie's voice is so soothing!! You brothers are adorable 💕 and I really appreciate the videos and adventures

Amazingvideo! They keep getting better and better every time. Love to watch you guys, love the accent (i'm dutch) love the background stories you always seem to find. Keep it up! Lots of love from Holland xx

Amazing furniture. Keep up the good work. Thank you 💜

Wooooow !!!! Beautiful place,i love !!! 💓💓💓 Like always good job boys!!!

Hi Lesly! just watched the video now and i can say that its one of the most amazing videos you made! i love your story while filming, giving us the imagination of how those people lives back on the days.. anyways thank you for touring us and God bless you BROs OF DECAY!

wonderful, so classy and beautiful: absolutely a magical trip down memory lane thank you

The crank handled item in the kitchen you were confused about is for sealing the cans of fruits & vegetables. Many people canned their own produce.

That was fun. Love Handles music. Take as much time to show us everything. Thank you

That style of furniture like that big bed with elaborated carving is called Manuelino here in Portugal. It is a late gothic. Very beautifull but not very rare here. Welcome and great video🙋

Thank You we love your programe! From South Africa

Such a beautiful home, the female of the house really knew how to decorate the different bedrooms with matching curtains etc. I loved all of the old and antique furniture it had character, nowadays furniture isn't made as good or as ornate. Thank you both for a lovely tour of this amazing location. xx ❤

This was a beautiful big place! I'm surprised there wasn't a piano. Awesome video as always. 😘🤗👍

😳🤯 What in the world is a place like this abandoned with 200 year old antiques left behind and not in a museum?. So sad and distressing. The land owner should preserve such beauty. They don't make furniture like that anymore. I'm pulling my hair in stress watching this video because it's all rotting away. 😩 Thank you for a great video.

Just discovered your channel, I love it. Thank you for sharing these wonderful, abandoned, and historically magical castles and mansions. Keep up the great work. Your voice adds the perfect touch. Stay safe and God bless!

Just some info because I love historic info. The shield on the fireplace is called a family crest or coat of arms, Most commonly, only nobility or high-class families in medieval Europe had them because they were granted by kings to recognize achievements. These coat of arms were usually passed down and some families still have them even though they no longer have the title. It was not only royalty though! I often see in your adventures that there are larger rooms with identical beds, this was common back in the day for a married couple to have twin beds and share a room, it was said so they don’t disturb each other’s sleep. Granted some of them are children's rooms too. sometimes there will be a main bedroom and a second main room because each one of the couple would have a separate room. Sometimes the couple would share a main room and bed but the husband would have a smaller room to sleep if he came home late, drunk or his wife was sick so he didn’t disturb her or get sick himself.

Enjoyed this video! I find the history of these places so interesting, thanks for the research that you do into these stories. You also do a nice job of pacing your explores.... I appreciate that you don’t rush through. Nice job 👍🏼

Thank you so much guys for this beautiful video I so appreciate it so much ‼️💯⭐️ I can’t thank you enough ❤️🙏🏽🫶🏼

another great video u guys, enjoyed

Amazing furniture!! Thank you from Alaska. Your videos are the best!!!!

Really interesting. I really loved those fabulous beds, absolutely gorgeous! A shame they are left to decay. Your videos are never too long, I like the longer ones (1 hr +) where you get to see more details. Thanks guys!

The kitchen was probably huge for their servants, as well as the extra bedrooms. The kitchen help needed the space to move around, one preparing the meats, one cooking vegetables, one chopping/peeling etc.

Stay safe you guys! Gloves are a good idea. Thanks for another fine exploration. That bed is amazing! and huge!

Thank you for your great appreciation of these fabulous places that have fallen to neglect and decay. It breaks my heart to see so many pieces just sitting and falling apart. Just a note here; you mention quite often about the chandeliers but the one light hanging from a ceiling is not a chandelier, it is simply a hanging light. Chandeliers have more than one arm with lights, many have crystals and other ornamentation added, as well. I have become someone addicted to your videos. So much history with these fabulous homes and furnishings. So sad that no one came in to save them from the state they have fallen to. Thank you for all the time you have devoted to filming these videos. The longer, the better!

The furniture omfg! Love love
