#Abandoned #Exploration #Steveronin
*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? :)

Steve Ronin We were right in time bro 🤞🏼
What happened at 4:43 bro
🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥
@@Explomo damn fixing that now
Are you able to take anything from the places you go to??
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.
Good luck hauling that thing out without being caught lmao
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.
You ask if we recognize what the books were about, but you never zoom in so we can see the titles.
Patricia Greene they look like Encyclopedias.... before his time of course!
Diana Davis 🤣
Steve doesnt read unless its a text....
Should visit ireland .... theres a abanded house going back from the 1500s...... !!
The piano was made by Sebastian Erard. World famous French piano maker.
How do u know? Cool
I love pianos. especially vintage ones. I watched a posting by Bros of Decay last night. They were exploring a French Chateau which contained a beautiful Playel grand piano. It was one of these pianos that Chopin played.
The correct spelling is Pleyel.
Patrick Courtney I'm surprised someone hasn't taken it and sold it for a quick buck. ..in north America it would of been gone a long time ago.
Cool
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❤
Sandra Mcdaniel original construction was a castle built in the Middle Ages but rebuilt because of damage from wars as a Chateau in 1421. It has a very long amazing history!
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)
Or it was an electric organ.
a harmonium...
Thanks for taking a. Risk to show us those beautiful mansions of long ago. The books are no doubt, priceless and I really hope they get saved from all those places of old before the houses completely crumble. Stay safe...try to get permissions to view. I'll keep watching, as I love the history...so fasinating!
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.
HAGGIS .MCHAGGIS the true name of this Chateau is Chateau de Pont Remy Somme. It was originally a castle built in the 15th century (1421) turned into a private home in the 19th century. The castle played a significant role in the Hundred Years War, many notables stayed here such as Henry IV, Mary Stuart, and Henry II. Edward III was once held here as well. It became the private residence of the Countess of Coux and was sold many times to private owners and now is still owned but abandoned. It has caught fire many times since 1421 and rebuilt. Steve was lucky to get in because the children of the owners have now by the township been forced to close it up with cameras and alarms and to restore it. Nothing at all to do with anything evil or Lucifer.
@@jtalbot34 Thank you for that information, I enjoyed reading it. So sad that this beautiful building is neglected and left to fall to bits. I hope it is restored but it seems there are a lot of abandoned grand homes in France, potentially due to the inheritance tax. The wallpaper frieze is intriguing.. I was surprised as France I believed was predominantly Catholic and it seemed a bit mischievous . It's always good to throw in a bit of 'sinister' vibes when it comes to filming these abandoned buildings... bumps the ratings up :D Although I must admit I get a bit tired of hearing every dusty broken doll described as 'Creepy.' Still, I get a vicarious thrill watching this footage and spotting things that may have been missed :D Cheers !
Yes, I caught that! Devils on the top border and devil faces on the door at 26:31. Why would anyone want that art?
@@MultiLisa10 it's just historical art...they weren't devil worshipping. There were many bibles in library. In those times, they strongly believed in heaven and hell.
@Jennifer Talbot Wonderful info. Thank you!
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.
@Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian hes in prison, read up on him if your interested in the macabre.Truly evil ! He described his tennants as vermin and treated them as such.....
I hoped you closed the shutter and window before leaving those books are surprisingly not faded
I was thinking the same!
I was going to comment the same
Piss on that satanists material shit
Hmmm...any video Ive seen of his, he seems quite respectful, so not sure why people are assuming he would leave things open, etc. Weird.
In one of the comments, he said he closed the windows before he left.
pay attention to what the titles of the books and what they are about tells you a lot about who they were
What you mean and who do you think they where
tick tock tube time He means the books shown in the video ... is this the castle in Luxemburg
they have one book called “eugenie”. Creepy
@@Gabriela-ej5ew will y'all stop being so vague?
SeeMePaint Florida right
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?
Very true
protected from the environment, no central air or heating..
Good thing he opened the windows to let the light in 😰
B M, I know! I was screaming, “NO!” Those old books were closed up for preservation and he just opened the window. 🤦♀️
@@chmom2288 I think a bunch have been ruined before that from humidity or moisture.
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 😊
Love your channel. Just one little advice though, try to move the camera more slowly so we can see the details of the place. 😊
hes scared
You can slow down your video
Agreed
Everyone tells him that but he never listens...
If he do that it will take an hour for them to stay there
SOO sad to have such beautiful place left alone the walls must weep without its owner hopes pray no one vandalizes it
Having been part of a Law Firm, we had an amazing library. It looks like law books and bundles of precedents waiting for binding.
This place is INSANE! Thanks for sharing.
love that palace....but try not to scan the rooms so quickly, makes me dizzy
"Does anyone recognize what these books are about"? Hold the freaking camera still for 2 seconds and I'd have told you.
That's what I'm saying, I love to read but I didn't see titles
La Sainte Bible is the french version of the King James. And at 16:26 I was able to catch an Edgar Allen Poe Eureka along with other Poe books I cant see the titles of. Also David Copperfield. Also saw a few books concerning Louvre. I can't listen to the audio because I'm at work so perhaps he notes this in his narration. *shrug* I don't notice anything that would say the owner was a satanist or luciferian in nature (implied by the name of the house) at all unless I'm overlooking something.
@@anaviccica6305 I’m a French Canadian and La Sainte Bible is the Holy bible, I don’t know king James and I’m not a Christian, it is the same as the holy bible or it’s more like a book from ‘’ king James ‘’ ?
Slow down on your motion of the camera
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.
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.
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.
Milas DELLI.... Was it you who scared them and why not just sell some of the item's for restoration costs? Either way you seem like a decent person and I wish you well.
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!
STEVE!! That freaking Mora Clock at the very beginning, when your talking to that dude....!!!!!😳🤯 holy crap!!! My mouth HIT the floor!
So whats the story on that clock??? Why freak out about it?
Shiahian well, if you were into Antiques, you’d know why. A Swedish Mora is a Gustavian style furniture and they date back to the 1800 and is unique to Sweden. They’re really popular in America and Europe for their curvy shape and pretty soft colors.
They are produced to his day, for just a few hundred dollars all the way up to thousands..but the Original antique ones are worth thousands and thousands.
That’s definitely worth ‘freaking out’ about.
This person asked a simple ? No attitude with the question or anything about something they we're not sure of and u answer them back like a complete azz all you had to say is because it's an antique that's a valuable antique that's all
Those books look like encyclopedias
@@h.j2141 Plus just being left there to age and become trash when it is so beautiful.
Books do look valuable I'm surprised all that stuff is still there with that many people still going thru it
People don't appreciate books anymore
It's the exploring culture to not disturb the place and take stuff. These places often hold a lot of history, and should be handled with care
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!
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
Loving the soft background music...
This place gives me the creeps for some reason I feel like it’s still being used
small staircases usually were the stairs the maids had to use
Thanks for letting me know :) hope you enjoyed the video
So gorgeous. Magnificent in every aspect. THAT LIBRARY OMG. I'd die. Thank you so much for sharing
I would have loved to seen this home in it’s prime.
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
Absolutely stunning, I wish someone would rescue it
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!
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.
Which leads to termites
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.
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.
"There are French dudes... you hear them and smell them" - HILARIOUS!
Racist
PLEASE PLEASE STOP SWINGING THE CAMERA ABOUT!!!!! I had to leave this because you were making me quite sick !!!
Check out the broken window theory they have great videos
Check out ,, Bros of Decay . Lessily is awesome showing Abandoned homes and mansions. And a great storyteller too. Always the best.
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!
They had no TV. They read books & played musical instruments.
@Oiled Up And Ready ! Very wise!
@@TPQ1980 same 🙅♀️📺🔫
They had plenty of children to terrorize and sacrifice in their demonic orgies
@Oiled Up And Ready ! they were busy programming children weren't they
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.
I saw the Bros of Decay and said what! Gotta see...Great place, beautiful
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 :)
Floors doors and fireplaces are stunning :: I love that small library is amazing

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😘
Hope the books are pulled and placed in a historical safe place before the building is consumed by black mold.
❤️❤️Stunning Video! Don't think I would ever abandon such a beautiful place
I think the bust is of Voltaire. I want the library ladder!!!!
I want the library!
I want the bust of Voltaire! haha
gasoline has a shelf life of about 6 months especially if it's exposed to air... after that it thickens and becomes like goo.
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.
Wherever you go: BE GOOD AND DO NOT STEAL EVER.
Well, you say that and I agree, up to a point. Those beautiful leather sofas, all the books, sculptures, huge mirrors will be smashed and ruined by the rotting ceilings falling in eventually and mold. Why waste what they didn't want to take with them?
FIRST! 🔥 great video homie. Never explored such a beautiful castle in my life, was a pleasure exploring it together with you! 🙏🏼
It's overwhelming to think that people actually lived that way and are still living that way when so many people have so little. I'm not saying that people shouldn't have wonderful lives in wonderful houses. It is just sad to see these places go down!
This just awesome
Nancy Gray Cheers Nancy
@Freedom ALBA GU BRATH Scotland weirdo
Good teamwork 👍Explomosteveronin
Amazing explore Steve. Absolutely beautiful place can imagine the French men riding up on horseback and the servers cleaning the house.
There are probably a lot of things that are still quite valuable in the chateau. I commend you for not taking anything. Very respectful.
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.
slow down with the camera i couldnt see the names on the books
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.
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 ❤️🏚️
I got horrible chills when you guys walked passed that barn area...
Oh my gosh l would love to go through the books
Definitely! Why Steve never read the titles of books? The books show the interest of the owners.
@@hotmoonhotmoon9134 ... I don't think Steve reads books. Sorry to say, but....
Personally i would love to take home some of them, most "Book Worms" Would be there in that library for hrs...
It seems to happen on a lot of these explore videos. It would provide a bit of insight into the previous owners.
I was always check out the books in the houses of people I am new to meeting.
Oh, God what I wouldn't give to look at those books.
How long has it been abandoned. Who lived there, and where is the house
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
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!
Can you imagine the cost of utilities ? Up keep,taxes....wow
1,087 rooms.. you must be high from the mold. that was more than likely the square footage of a certain area'
It looks like a surveyor's map of a local area. The numbers are lot numbers, not the number of rooms. LOL
Where I live he would be labeled as dufus
@Daniel Toth Being king I will let you a question ends in a ? but what do expect from a tribe.
The sink you said could be for washing horses is actually a laundry sink. The clothes would be placed on the angled part of the sink. The bundles of straw you saw were used to scrub clothes.
5:47 That might be an Absinthe fountain or a very fancy sink.
10:02 You can find out who the family was based on the family crest on the fireplace!
Oouuu good eye
How I search the value info for the family by the family crest? Where i can find it?? Please 🙏 It's sooo interesting
I see French, Arabic ,& Asian literature in that library. Multi linguini
vinoscope lexact - pipette measure the alcohol in wine
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.
Good eye and thanks for pointing it out. People just don't want to believe how much evil there is around but they're going to have to learn the hard way I guess
I wish I'm there and see the books myself I would check every book and what is it about
Is it only me?
But from 17:00 too 19:00 it was like watching extracts from the original Sony PS Resident Evil game.
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.
All that wealth rotting away. and no one to take care of it, sad:
Hope you didn't touch the green wallpaper it is loaded with arsenic.
I have to ask...how do you know that?
@@bethreed-byrd8798 it was used in pigments . They wore arsenic clothes as well. I just recently learned this one. It's amazing all the ways I've discovered people used poison in the past. It's mind blowing
@@TPQ1980 That's how they think Napoleon was killed Green wallpaper
It hasn't been the case since Victorian times thankfully. Tons of people have died because of it in their homes, mainly children ingesting it.
What an amazing place..man such beauty why would anyone forget about a place like that
I know! Hopefully they restore it
@@SteveRonin where exactly was this at?
like he's gonna tell you that. duh@@miguelintoexplore
@@robinwest5427 well true but I figured it out where it is
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.
What an amazing video, you deserve more subscribers.
Soon soon
Why do you open windows..allowing birds damage to occur quicker.thats care less
I closed them after..
Nothing last forever!!
Wonderful content and home! Camera movement a bit too fast moving and shaky compared to the usual you make. Ty for sharing these videos!
My man..Steve Ronin.. One of the best channels on youtube right here. Your videos brings tears to my eyes.. You have a gift brother
Far out. The place was pristine like it was still lived in. But then so was Dracula's castle... One was a tourist town place, and the other a tribute. How many pianos... Awesome, just awesome.
I have a heart shaped box just like the one on that dresser. Nice find
you have to open a book to see what its about
So far I made out some works by Baudelaire, Newton, I saw Dickens's David Copperfield, then something called Les gens de Mogador, and historical novels by Jeanne Bourin, lots of history books about kings and queens, saw something with words Mercure de France on it, which is a literature journal I believe.
Ooh, Steve loves libraries as much as I do!
min 12:22 this seems to be a electronic lock... perhaps for a secret door?
Hello steve i was amazed on thos books..30:41those are old version volume of encyclopedias.nice 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
Cool place. Once home to a glamorous life, now a shell. I can help you out with naming some of those rocks; Pete, Jimmy, Julie, Candi (rock candy 😉), Garfield, Snoopy....
1087 is probably square footage possibly with the metric system.
Beautiful castle! You're extremely talented Steve. Thanks for sharing 😊
I second you Sandra s,much love from kenya,.
1087 is probably the elevation above sea level. That many rooms is a large high rise.
The map you found in the office upstairs is most likely a map of the land plots outside for survey purposes. It read, The commune, with is common land and the divisions on it. Whenever you buy a house, you have a designated lot number that refers to the land on which the house was built ,It is not the amount of rooms. I suspect that the chateau is more likely to have about 30 rooms.
