They Left 70 Years Ago ~ Abandoned Swiss Time Capsule Mansion 

37:02 - this is not a washing machine, but a honey extractor. My father and I used exactly the same Soviet-made device in the mid-90s when pumping honey in my father's apiary in Russia.

Hi Lesley, the item you call washing machine in the bedroom is actually used to spin the honey. Lovely to go back in time. Your excitement in going into these abandoned house is catching. Thank you 🌻

Great find, Thanks to the Swiss for not vandalizing this place over the last 70 years, these videos always leave me with a heavy heart and sadness.

Time to relax with your videos how is your brother doing been praying for him and everyone!!!

Hi Lesley 👋 The item you describe as "a press to seal envelopes..." is actually an ink blotter. When one wrote with a pen dipped into ink, wet ink would be left behind. You would then "roll" this ink blotter over what you had written, to BLOT UP the excess ink when it was still wet on the paper! This would prevent you from having smeared/smudged words and paper. (Hope this wasn't too confusing!) 🙂

Excited about this one Lesley..wow, a outhouse in the barn/storage room. I can't believe it! 70yrs being abandoned, is a long time. Love that stove in that cute little kitchen, everything is left in that curio, almost like the family went out for the day and just never returned. Love everything about this once beautiful home..stay safe healthy and blessed! Everyone ☀️🌴

It's sad to see old photos, especially of children, left behind and forgotten. Have you ever considered doing research into who once owned these places and perhaps finding and interviewing them just to answer some questions like why they left and putting names to the faces in the photos? That would be interesting to watch.

I am so worried about Maureno. Please give us some information about the state he is in right now.

We look for years for antiques & you go into abandon places & boom there's thousands of beautiful treasures. I love seeing them in their original used undisturbed state much better than viewing them for sale in an antique store. Really cool makes you feel like you're that time & space.

Hi Lesley . Beautiful mansion love all the furniture and old books and stuff. Stay safe. Any news about our dear friend maureno I’m so worried.👍❤️😍👏🔥

My great grandfather was born in Switzerland and is on my bucket list! Incredible video, Beautiful country!!

Hi Lesley, another great find. Is there any news on Maureno? I truly hope he's recovering well and will soon be able to return home 🏡 safely to his family. 💖💖🙏🙏

I visited this place so often in the last 2 years, it's so interesting to see it from your perspective, seeing it the way you envision it. I filmed my first (and last) RU-vid video with commentary in that place... So many memories, thank you for sharing, I'm looking forward to going on tour with you soon!

37:17 is a honey separator and it spins honey off the comb. We still use it today but electric.

How is Mauerno feeling hope he improving. Like your video

Double windows are very very very common in Poland also; to keep warm in the winter and windows shutters closed firstly from inside and than windows also to keep the manors ' safe for nobility ....I remember that from my childhood....also the sent have in my lungs from that wood the windows were made....long long before....Cheers !

I luv your videos. I’m terminally Ill and the videos keep my mind off of How ill am so thank you for all you do for me. Your a joy in my life.❤️🇺🇸🌹

I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago I'm from Florida USA I love the fact that you share a history before exploring I also enjoy your sensitivity to the people that lived there it just makes it so much more meaningful As you pass over the books that are on nightstands and as a bibliophile I would love that you mention the titles I think it would add to the time period and I'm confident that all the other readers out there would enjoy it also..thank you for sensitive European exploring...wonderful!

Hi Lesley, the item you called as washing machine is a honey extractor.It was a wonderful video

How is maureno doing?

Hello from USA 🇺🇸 Fun to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your exploring. Neat thing to do. We did that in some area's around here, but most where vandalized 😞 Keep up the good work😙

Wow! It was awesome to see this abandoned big house. Everything was exactly as it was 70 years ago! I can't wait for the next week video. I love your channel, keep doing this! You're cool and kind. I always love your explanation of every details of the house. And you always travel the world to explore more and more abandoned place for us. Thank you for that! ❤️

I really enjoyed the video. Now I’m wondering if you have any news on Morano. Please let us all know if he got back home. Thanks for the great video.

Great video, but right at the start there are newspapers with Charles and Diana on them so somebody was there in the 80s or early 90s.

I love how they lived in such peace and harmony. I myself am a 70's and 80's child grown up in west flanders Belgium. I miss them good old days.

Them being bee keepers, the item in the bedroom next to the bed, the large round one is a bee keepers honey extractor. Awesome, find Leslie. We just found you about 2 weeks ago. We really enjoy watching you.

About the bathroom, you passed right over the chamber pot in the parents room. This brings back so many memories for me, as I born over 70 years ago. Thank you for this look back. My childhood home only eists in pictures now.

What a wonderful old pristine property 👍🙏❤️ I loved this beautiful home!!! Sad that the antique, wooden furniture isn’t saved & restored😞 Thank you Leslie for a wonderful place in this gorgeous country 👍🙏❤️

Hi Lesley! I think this place was abandoned less than 70 years ago. I see that some electrical furniture looks modern than 50's - rectangular and sharp-edged. Also, vacuum cleaner looks like from 60's. But six decades, I think, is enough long time too.

Fantástico abandono, como siempre. Saludos desde México. Lamento mucho lo de EXPLOMO. Ojalá estén mejor.

Hello Lesley! Very incredible house where the time forgot past and stayed frozen there. The house is very cute and cozy and your kindness to show the 📷 is amazing 👏 😉🤗❤👍

I had to watched this video again. The layout of this beautiful house is crazy wonderful. I'm just baffled about why the family left this wonderful home and everything behind. Where did they go and why didn't they come back for their personal items? I love videos like this such a mystery. Lesley, this was one awesome video!!! I think the only bathroom they had was that outhouse...stay safe healthy and blessed everyone!! See you on your next adventure...😊

Television was just making its way into peoples homes in 1951. It's strange how 1951 seems like it's 150 years ago to you, for me it's not that long ago. I was born in 1959.

Very interesting...I never imagined abandoned Swiss homes. Lesley, can you give us any feedback on Maureno? I am most concerned about him.

I saw a Chamber pot in the downstairs bedroom, that was their other toilet! Love the chalet style of the house.

Hi Lindsay loved this video. I chuckled when I saw you described the honey extractor as the washing machine. Tins made sense when you see 2 items together. Can't wait till next week

I enjoyed this home too. It's really a lovely place.

Hermoso video.. ahí no he visto cosas de plástico,todo muy natural y hermoso, un verdadero túnel del tiempo...muy bueno gracias...!!! Quisiera saber algo de Maureno por favor.. todos estamos preocupados y sin noticias de tu amigo.. un beso enorme para vos y tu equipo.. 💕💕💕🇦🇷🙋❤️

Heyy dear Lesley, That is really looking incredibly well preserved. Amazing! - Of course this is especially interesting for me, as you found that location in Switzerland. - That photographic portrait is also remarkably interesting to see and showing a very beautiful lady in a 19th century attire, as I presume. - The room has a total time capsule vibe with beautiful furniture from the period. - The hat and the pair fo shoes give you the impression, as if the person of that place would return at any moment, although they might have been placed there already for decades. - So, my dear friend, I am already very excited to see this video. Stay safe, bro, peace and kindest regards. - Any news of our dear friend Maureno already?

Awesome and amazing video 📹. I love 💘 this older house. Very nice house. I hope that your brother is doing better. Prayers for him 🙏 ❤ 💙. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙

The ‘washing machine’. Is a honey extractor. 😊. Love your exploring!

From 1949 we lived in northern New England. There were no TV channels and the nearest was Boston. My Father was a barber and I would go with him to handicapped people to cut their hair in their homes. One man had a big tower outside his home and we entered at the end of his bed was a small TV with a screen. First tv I had ever seen. Great video.

I love this house more than all the others. Thank you

An amazing presentation of a time capsule locked in time! Wow!

Lesley, I love your videos...You're so much like Maureno... I hope he's ok

GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN LESLEY STAY SAFE WE WILL KEEP WATCHING

I wish you would take an older person with you that could explain some of the stuff you find. Someone that knows history. You would learn so much more.

Precioso!!! Saludos desde España 🇪🇦

Love your elaborate storytelling. What an amazing find.

Beautiful there.

Hola estimado amigo!! Disfruté mucho de ésta nueva exploración (sigues superandote a tí mismo) Lo que me llamó la atención es, que una casa tan especial no tuviese baños. Yo soy de 1943 en Uruguay y todas las casas tenían baños. En ésos años a mi país le llamaban la Suiza de América por sus avances y Suiza era ejemplo de lo mejor. Mi comentario es solo por curiosidad. Esperando el próximo vídeo, te saluda afectuosamente desde Gran Canaria

thank you for keeping the people alive, from the places you go too, the past is a great thing to remember

Best house I’ve seen yet so many linens, curtains, and clothes all in amazing condition! Loved it!

One of the good things about you is , you are kind to the stuff you come across. I think it is a good idea to wear gloves. So the oils of your hands don't hurt the things you touch. They protect you too.by keeping mold spores off of you. Nobody wants to get sick.

Bros Of Decay ,me encantan tus videos son como transportarnos a la maquina del tiempo ,muchisimas gracias, bendiciones.

Maravilloso tus videos!! Te sigo desde Mexico! Gracias! Felicidades 🙌🏽

hello leslie is there any update on the xplomo crew on their situation was just curious of eveything is ok u said their in legal trouble? Thanks!

Thank you for taking us with you. So sad yet so interesting.

Lesley, you are the best part of these explorations. I love the way you describe things and tell stories. You make it so much more interesting when you explore these abandoned houses. Thank you so much for what you do.

What a sweet farmhouse. I was most struck by the children’s bedrooms. They seemed to be well loved by the nature of each darling little room. I imagine they were a close family, warm and affectionate. Thanks guys!

I absolutely LOVE your sense of imagination as you describe your adventures!!! Thank you!! Have you ever thought that some of these abandoned places, with all the contents still left in them were victims of the holocaust?

Knowing how good hearted you are I bet you put the snail outside 🤗❤️ This was nice, enjoyed it as usual. Bravo. 😚

Lesley, you have a excitining job , oh how I would loves to restore these places

The tiled stove/heater in the living room, they have those in Austria too. My auntie in Vienna has one in her living room.

Very homey Good vibes from this house, was very cute in its day 🤗🤗

I love how you look threw everything. Love it! USA

Chests of winter clothes, possibly (doesn't look like blankets).

One of my favorites so far. They lived so simple, I Love it.

The cloth bag hanging in the kitchen wouldn't hold slippers. I believe it was for clothes pins. My mother had one very similar to that one.

Hi, love your commentary your accent my daughter and made friends with Bart who lived in Amsterdam, we were treated like royalty we had such a laugh, Barts farther had a recording studio and delt in 😊classical music. We loved the way most people spoke some English.

Love watching your videos. You show with interest and respect. I'm showing my age now but on the writing desk where the ink is that is an ink blotter and not for sticking down envelopes. Thank you all for an excellent piece of film.

Absolutely lovely!

Hey Lesley! Your Van is so cool! This video is amazing! I love livestream! You are admirable! 👏👋🤗🇧🇷

Beautiful scenery. So much like B.C. Canada where i was raised. I was born 1955. Got our first tv 1963. So long ago in our minds but only a moment in history. You find such interesting places.

Thank you Lesley, that place was fascinating. I could imagine the four kids running through the house and out into the yard to play. I could also hear that beautiful wall clock chiming away in the nighttime silence as everyone slept soundly in their beds. Thank you for taking us along with you. I can't wait till the next adventure. Love you much. Be safe.

🌹🤜❤️🤛🌹 HOLA LESLEY!!! QUE CÓMODO Y PLA- CENTERO TU VIAJE EN ESA ENORME CA- MIONETA, AÚN MAS EN COMPANIA DE TUS AMIGOS. BONITA INTRODUCCIÓN, MOSTRAR PARTE DEL HERMOSO PAISAJE ANTES DE LLEGAR AL LUGAR QUE EXPLORAR. UN LUGAR MUY INTERESANTE, MUCHO QUE VER, AUN TIENE TANTAS COSAS, AUNQUE HOY NO ENTEDI LA HISTORIA, PERO LO DISFRUTE VIENDO. ME ENCANTA CUANDO HABRES GABETAS, LAS OLLAS. ETC. TENGO CURIOSIDAD QUE HAY DENTRO. ESO ES EXPLORAR. TE FELICITO 🌟👍🥰

The washing machine is a honey separator. You put your honey combs in the baskets and hand spin the honey out of the comb.

Amazing home so much history of 70 years ago and so much left i loved it guys .

Swiss history. Amazing.

Another awesome video, so fascinating. Also learned from the comments what a honey extractor is. Thank you Lesley for sharing these time capsules with us. Can’t wait to see more.

29:32 that is a chamber pot, (a nighttoilet") on the on the heater. There were no bathrooms in such houses, the toilet was mostly outside on the veranda. The second front window was only used in the winter, to reduce heat loss in the house. Thanks for that video, loved it! Greetings from the 🇨🇭 mountains! And the hiking shoes were work shoes to have a better grip.

I'm so emotional,70 years❣️💕

Fantastic explore, very interesting. Really neat shoes. Loved the honey containers. Thank you. Stay safe.

Hey, I have a clock with similar molding to that one; it was a wedding present from my late parents. It's over 30 years old. ☺️ Great discovery! I wonder what happened to the people. The bedrooms are left immaculate.

Very beautiful and historic family home You are really excellent at telling stories and explaining everything about the family. Keep up the excellent job.

The roof held up real good...no rain getting in like normal on these older houses that have been left behind...

Awesome video. Thank You guys.❤

Halo lesly apakah itu budaya bagi orang eropa untuk meninggalkan rumah walau mempunyai kenangan masa lalu mereka, kalau kami di Indonesia tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah begitu saja. Terima kasih sudah berbagi lesly

Good explore. It always fascinates me to see how people lived before I was even born. Love it! Thank you!

This was beautiful 😍 to see because they were just average people who worked hard for a living and they didn't have much but I bet they were very grateful for what they did have ,this is a favorite of mine and old as me ,I'm 66

Growing up in Canada , we had two separate windows in our house. The house was built in 1940 but airtight windows were added in the sixties. Thank you Leslie for another touching explore!

I can't believe how that washer, & all the trunks, looked like new on the inside, Still!! Awesome place! Such a shame all that was left to decay!! 😫

What a treasure. And I love the respect you show. Very well done.

That was awesome 😊, thankyou for sharing

grande Lesley. bellissima esplorazione hai notizie di maureno? tienici informati grazie

How's Maureno? Any update?

Absolutely wonderful explore. Thank you. I think it’s been abandoned a long time but I don’t think anywhere near as long as 1951. There was some electrical tape there and a ceiling lamp in one of the rooms that looked like it was from the 1990s. It probably belonged to an old couple who never modernised and preferred the old style but may not have passed on all that long ago. I’m guessing late 1990s.

Great video thanks for sharing. Love the beautiful antiques keep sharing.

The "toilet" in the barn actually had the seat behind it. Guessing it was an out house and they had it in the barn instead of in the yard because it gets so cold there.

Wow, Lesley. Kisses from São Paulo, Brazil.I have written my name in another language, but I am Kerli. It is always a pleasure to follow you through these journeys around past histories. They really take me back in time and I always look forward to watching a video on Sunday. Thanks a lot for all this entertainment and pleasure.
