- Burnay Palace, a historical landmark in Portugal's capital, traces its origins to the 17th century. And since 2001, this emacute palace has been abandoned. Recently, acts of vandalism and theft have been happening and with this documentary, we hope to bring awareness to this ongoing problem!!

STORY
Palace Burnay was commissioned by a Portuguese count and designed by an Italian architect. Completed in 1734, it served as the summer retreat for the Saldanha family until its acquisition in 1879 by a wealthy businessman and philanthropist: Count Henrique Burnay.
After his death in 1909, the palace became the property of the state and, in the 20th century, the palace went from a summer retreat to the administrative headquarters of the Technical University of Lisbon.
As the university occupied the palace, it underwent further renovations to adapt to its needs, while keeping in mind the palace's historical and architectural significance.
Now, in 2024, there are talks of a future investment that aims to revive Burnay Palace. We will go more in-depth on this topic later on, including the full history of the palace and its many residents.
In the meantime, Burnay Palace awaits restoration amidst ongoing acts of vandalism and theft.

The Shocking Truth Behind Burnay Palace's Abandonment
The abandoned 17th-century Palace in Lisbon needs Help!! Burnay Palace
Burnay Palace Palácio Burnay, Palacio da Junqueira
#abandoned #explore #exploring - Zábava
They should be ashamed of themselves letting such a beautiful, historical place like that fall apart and allowing vandalism to take place in it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Cost a fortune to maintain such a large old place.
For shame, indeed!😮
University tour that place apart to make it their own they should be responsible for rebuilding it back to where it was. At least maintained enough to where people can’t get in and do any more damage. I know it would cost a sheer fortune. But it should be their obligation after tearing it all apart
U NEED ENDLESS of capital
Bastaria boa vontade e atitude dos governantes que têm roubado a fundo os portugueses @@Arnoud-nf6iz
what a shame seeing the graffiti, and Deterioration of such a beautiful building
I have a problem with anxiety but when I listen to the narrator's voice I feel so calm. Thank you!! Thank you for everything of showing the beautiful architecture
I almost started crying when I saw the graffiti on the grand interior. I truly can’t imagine this beautiful and historic building being discarded. I hope it is saved!
Im absolutely mesmerized by the beauty of this place. From the woodwork to the ceiling, absolutely gorgeous ❤
So maddening that the University has let this place go in such disrepair. This place should be renovated and saved ❤
You will never have this level of workmanship again, incredible and sad to see it decaying. Progress is not vandalism and crime.
Omg what an opening you did Lesley!!!! It’s so big and grand. I hope they restore it to its former glory! ❤❤❤
I love your 1800s outfit! You look so grand and gentlemanly in it 😊
iya betul sekali.. lesley terlihat sangat elegan dan sopan.. saya juga suka gaya narasinya
love from Indonesia
We need to find a billionaire to save all of these historical homes, then the towns could charge for tours putting money back into their towns and upkeep of all of this history.
Beautiful palace in desperate need of restoration. Glad to hear the Portuguese government is in the process of restoring the place, turning it into a museum of historic Portuguese art and artifacts. It would be foolhardy to allow such a grand, beautiful place and grounds to be lost. It's a glorious historical testament; a small important piece of the country's rich history.
I love how they had pictures to show you what it had looked like. Beautiful place. Very grand.
Amazingly beautiful. This structure needs to be restored.
I can only imagine how it must have felt to live in such a majestic palace
Me to😢but literally they are leave this world finally and this is the fate of the world 🌍
Another beautiful video. I was happy to see Danny given his due in the closing credits for his filming and editing work. I think the University of Lisbon, who has a school of architecture by the way (!!!???), has much to be ashamed of for allowing the building to deteriorate. It's wonderful to hear that there are new plans and a substantial amount of money apparently planned to save and restore and renovate. Hopefully, the building and grounds will quickly be secured and restoration will begin very soon. Great job guys. Thank you for sharing with us.
How magical it must have been to work or be educated here
Your introduction opening the door Leslie- WOW! 😮
Wow! Gorgeous production, very professionally presented. Congratulations to Lesley and Danny.
Loves and hugs from America 🇺🇸 Leslie, what a magnificent castle I looked beyond the decay and it's beautiful how fortunate for those people to have live in a grand place, love your outfit, the cane makes you look important to do this documentary 😊❤
Wow!!! You look amazing Lesley 🎩👌very well-dressed and a perfect fit for a 17th-century Palace. You really made us feel like we teleported back in history by putting in the extra effort of dressing the part. It's so nice to see people like you who appreciate these beautiful historic places and bringing them back to life. Well done as always 👍💯⚔🛡⚔
This palace looks extremely different than the footage from Finders Beepers History Seekers 3 weeks ago where it was explored at night in the dark! Everything is absolutely gorgeous and should be preserved not changed for government! Such craftsmanship and elegance! Opulent ceilings and fantastic mosaics and stained glass! Can’t imagine all of the man hours that went into the details! The 3D painting in the entrance hall is just brilliant and beyond words! Excellent job displaying the forgotten grandeur of this incredible place! Gotta say that I really dig your clothing choice, wonderful style! Looking good!😉
Tg for showing us the uniqueness of these places. Many of which weren't built by our civilization.
But inherited.
We need to give some credit to Lesley, scaling some of those areas and 200 year rickety timber laden structures is dangerous. Hats off to him 👏 cheers from Ohio.
Боже, какая красота! Спасибо, что показали.
Omg. What a beautiful palace. You really did it justice young man. Hopefully it can be restored to its original version. Well done.
Love your channel. The difference I see, is that your more in depth about the historical aspects of the people and the homes you visit. You have better knowledge of architecture than most.
Much love you guys. Great travels, and thanks for showing me these places i could never get to in my lifetime.
I definitely agree some explorers just ramble on and don't know what they are saying probably from guessing on the place
A lot of the times they do not have any info., so they create lovely stories by what is left over and the pictures. Bros. used to do the same thing early on. Leslie is by far the best.
@@kathyshipka8965......
Yes he is to me it's alo educational.
Hola! Que hermoso lugar, lastima que el vandalismo acabe con las culturas de cada país y no hagan algo al respecto, agradezco todo lo que nos muestras y en lo personal me encantan los castillos. Saludos desde México.
You Gents never fail to impress! What a spectacular palace, I hope it can be saved 🙏👍❤️
Greetings from Florida in the U.S.A. This is your best one yet! It’s always a pleasure to hear the ding of a new video. They always make me sad, but I look forward to them. These always make me think of my dad. He used to take us exploring abandoned places. He would have loved these.
My dear Lesley, I absolutely adore your gentlemen’s outfit from back in the day! You look so handsome and the same as the men in the photos from back in the time. This was one of the most impressive places you’ve ever documented! Just gorgeous! Love, hugs, and thanks from North Carolina, USA! ♥️🤗🙏🇺🇸
Leslie, you did an outstanding job on the history and showing us this beautiful old relic. You looked very dapper in your 19th century frock. That was a joy to see and totally disheartening at the same time. What the Vandals hadn’t done the university did Tearing that place apart to do what they did to the building is just unforgivable really Thank you for bringing it to our attention I can only imagine what it must’ve been like Was Danny with you? He was very quiet if he was. You did an outstanding job. I like the intro as well the way you set it up and the music was spot on really really well done ❤ from LIZ in California
Wow! Magnificent palace, I loved all the murals on the ceiling, and the gardens, such beauty. It would be really nice to see this palace restored. 😊
What a beautiful palace so pretty. The suit you wore brought the era to life and hope they restore it to its original glory. Thank you both of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤Brilliantly crafted documentary. Leslie, you always bring your best 🎉. Love how you take me back in time telling the history & showing the incredible art that once stood beautifully . This place is the most draw-dropping place I’ve ever seen. I hope you reach the right people to help restore this valuable property. I’m very sad they turned it into a university and gut the kitchen. I love the passion and dedication you guys have to bring Awareness of lost properties. Much love 💕 🥰😘
Wow! Thank you Lesley for this documentary! What a beautiful place! Hopefully something can be done soon to stop the vandalism and restore it to it's original state. Loved your tour. ❤
Saw this place a few weeks ago on Finders Beepers. I do love their channel, but It was filmed in the dark and not as informative. I must say you have outdone yourself with this documentary. Everything about this video was top notch!!
Do they not have historical organisation's that help these beautiful places? Why don't colleges or universities get volunteers to come in and clean up these places and form some type of union to create fundraising for this place? This would be a wonderful wedding or conference venue. Where are all the billionaires of Spain? So very sad.
Wow, the entryway is astonishing. Absolutely gorgeous ❤
i enjoyed watching this 😍 I didnt even noticed it has been 45minutes. it's almost midnight in my country and supposed to be sleeping but it did wake me up. Thank you guys for sharing this to us
Amazing Lesley !!! Thanks for the Journey to this abandoned 😢Palace .
What a stunning location! Your best video ever!!! Those rooms are beautiful, especially the all-white one. It took my breath away! You have brought world-wide awareness to this beautiful place!
I’ve been a fan since 2000, watching you over the years had been amazing! This intro was breathtaking! I had goosebumps and needed to pick my jaw up off the floor! Hats off to you, my friend!
Merveilleux comédien , dans un décor de rêve !👍👍👍
Magnificent presentation.
That place made you look very small. That a shame about that mess in there and vandals stealing those big pictures. What a beautiful place
Hi Lesley & Danny, 😊 This was a Beautiful Palace & Just Horrible the Vandalism, Disgraced Many Things There!!
It`s a Shame that the Lisbon University left & left this Palace to have Vandalism & Go into Decay!!
I really Loved the Grand Entrance & the Largest Chandelier I Ever Saw!!
Plus All the Pictures of What the Rooms Looked like Back in the Day, were Beautiful!!
Thanks for the Tour Lesley & Danny & Your Outfit Lesley!!❤
Take Care & have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey!!😎✌❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Hi Lesley,
If this was in the UK, English Heritage would have this listed as Grade 1 historical. and have this restored. Get the voluteers involved, too. They would have this cleaned up, and looking good in no time. Such a waste letting it get run down like that. The Portugese government needs a prod in the backside.
Thank you Lesley it is a beautiful palace
Good evening from Southern Italy.
Thank you so much for this documentary. Well done. An amazing palace. I do hope this history can be restored. 🎩 Hats off to you too!!!❤
What an outstanding piece of historical architecture! The designer/builder spared no expense and ensured that the owners wealth and love for grandeur was to be seen in each and every room - even in the gardens. Great documentary Lesley and Danny. Always love your bringing viewer’s attention to even the smallest of details, and sharing the history of the time-period and specifics of this amazing property.
I really appreciate how respectful you are of the properties you take us to. I love that you dressed up and showed pictures of people and how they looked back when the Palace was in its full glory. Thank you for saving these historical gems through your wonderful videos.
🎉🎉❤❤
Just two minutes into the documentary and my blood pressure reaches dangerous levels as I have to see how another European country lets it heritage decay.
And think of all the billions are giving to third world country migrants to house and feed them
Totally agree. So sad.
Devastating😢
It is a shame that the university just left this beautiful place to ruin.
Same here. Its acrying shame that such grandeur and beauty has been left to decay.
Absolutely stunning. Vandalism makes me angry! Thank you Leslie and Danny! Wow!
Hola querido amigo, feliz año nuevo y te abrazo a ti y todo tu equipo , nos das mucha alegría con tu trabajo gracias por compartir tus cosas bellas con nosotros. Con amor desde México
This has to be the finest mansion you have ever shown us. What a gorgous place. To let this to get even this bad is a crime to every person in the world. Its just disgusting. The government of this country should be totally ashamed of them selves. They should resign from office. To let this place rot to ruin makes me sick. I just cant get over this stupidity of the fools that are responsible for this disgrace. I feel so bad for you Lesley. Doing all you can do to try to save these works of art knowing that it could be all for nothing. Its biger than you or myself to do anything to save these incredible mansions. Dust to dust will be what happends to everything on earth. We do have the power to save some of this things until the end of man on earth
Thank you for such an amazing tour! The ceilings are so beautiful, no words to describe this place!
Hey dear Lesley, I had to rewatch the amazing documentation about this fascinating and historically significant monumental palace in Lisbon. Wow, Lesley I admire your thorough appreciation and your incredible knowledge, when you were presenting the palace. And - of course I loved your very elegant attire of an early 20th century gentleman. It fits you perfectly, even the way how you were walking and holding your cane,..oh my the perfect gentleman of that by gone period! In this way you gave new life to the once wonderful halls and rooms of this location. Of course there were luckily still a lot of the original decors from the late 19th century of the Burnay aera, still showing the splendor of that aera back in the days. Of course I also hate seeing these awful traces of brainless vandalism and ugly graffity.
I loved the beautiful ceilings and that breathtakingly elaborate grand entrance hall with the double stair case. - After my opinion they should have retained the palace and the surrounding gardens in exactly the way it was still in the 1940-ies. All these beautiful priceless interior decorations, the furniture, the chandeliers, the tapestries, the paintings,.. and so on would have resulted into a magnificient museal palace into the present time. When I saw the photographs showing the state of the early 20th century, I can only say, that it's such a shame, seeing now this place stripped of its valuable interior of considerable art historical significance. - For instance in the UK quite a number of grand mansions, castles and palaces are kept in their original state with all the lavish interiors, like for instance Longleat Manor and Blenheim Palace. - I am glad to hear, that there are at least plans to renovate and preserve this historical location, which is truly an architectural gem!
Dear Lesley I found your documentation so excellent, that I could imagine it to be presented for instance on Discovery channel. Also Dannys camera work was simply excellent in combination with the background music.
Thank you so very much for sharing this unique explore, bro.
Wishing you all the best, many hugs, peace and kindest regards.
Спасибо вам огромное за прекрасный обзор, это самый лучший замок❤❤❤😢
I am always so amazed by your discoveries of such beautiful and historical places you visit. Thank you for your devotion of showing the world of such rare gems. I wish that they could all be returned to their glory days. It's history that needs to be preserved.
You deserve so much praises!!!! ❤❤❤ Well done! 😊
What a shame. Thank you for making this documentary. Hopefully it has brought the attention it deserves. Mr. Burnay must be turning over in his grave 😭
Well done , lesley and Danny ❤❤ it is so beautiful palace 🎉🎉 I enjoyed the video ❤❤ thank you for sharing 🎉🎉
Amazing, the place and your detailed description and historical documentation of it.
I couldn’t believe the grand central corridor walls were a ‘3d painting’
I thought they were carved and sculptured walls, like all the other features of the building.
I appreciated all your work and authenticity, with the historical photographs.
A decadent time to have lived, if you were rich.
Hard to imagine major means of socializing for a female would have been in such surroundings and situations.
Am hoping that this exposure will find the help to restore this palace.
Baie dankie Lesley en Danny. Dit was baie interressant en leersaam. Ekt die pragtige plafonne waardeer - dis uniek. Dankie vir jul moeite en ek hoop regtig iemand of n instansie kan help met die reparasie van die paleis.
Wow this is stunning, rich of art and architecture , it’s incredible to see this place , it’s incredible beautiful, shocking to see a beautiful and rich of history place like this to be abandoned, love your clothes introducing to history of this place, it’s really special indeed , every room you walk through just wow! with stunning architecture, it must took them a long time to complete this building this place back in the day, finally happy to know this place will be restore in the future, very sad to see those vandalism to the property as they do not proud to their nation and history, it’s very sad indeed .
This place truly special of history indeed, thank you for sharing
Bros of decay that abandoned 17th palace in Lisbon needs help I agree with you someone should come along buy it and fix it over put it back the way it was like was back than
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! Very well done! Exceptionally narrated, perfectly flowing, and most of all...intriguing to watch! I found myself immersed in the details, the beauty and the artistic splendor of this location! THIS PLACE SHOULD BE RESTORED TO BECOME A NEW MUSUEM OF ART!! The location, once restored, would be an outstanding place for functions, parties, wedding receptions, business retreats and of course for all the art lovers and architectural students and admirers from all over the world!
THANK YOU for documenting this space. You may have just brought enough light to this dusty jewel for its facets to finally reflect the beauty and splendor it can once become again in the capitol of Portugal!.
You show some really awesome places. Thank you, and thanks for sharing. ❤😊
You r amazing Leslie!!!😊
I thank you very much for your documentary on this Palace. The grand entrance is breathtaking. I appreciate your time in showing how the rooms looked before it was a school. That helps alot in seeing all the cyanges. I would love to see the gardens and greenhouse as well as the rest prezerved in a way to maintain the palace. Great job my friend. xxx
Lindo, lindo. Uma viagem no tempo. 🤩🥰
It was announced a few weeks ago by the Portuguese government the allocation of 26 million euros for the restoration of the building, where it will become the headquarters of the public entity that manages the Museums and Monuments, to Museums and Monuments of Portugal, E.P.E
OMG! It is unbelievable and very sad that such a palace is left go to ruin!
Thank you for this lovely documentary. Also love your outfit espassaly made for this occasion!
Primero debo decirte la administración q sentí al ver el respeto q muestras....Segundo , jamás vería algo tan hermoso si no fuera atraves de tus ojos..... éste Castillo es una Obra de Arte en ruinas....causa dolor ver tanta belleza perdida....es impresionante ése salón con los grafitis hechos por los vándalos sin piedad ninguna.....gracias mil por traerme hasta aquí....❤🇵🇷
This was beautifully done. You brought amazement and awe to this place and i sincerely hope that it gets recognized so someone will rescue that place, bravo . This is one to be proud of . Thank you for bringing a new perspective to us.
Wow! I'm so excited to see this video
So special. Thank you for showing it to us and for spreading awarness of places like this.
Wonderful palace.
What a great documentary and place! Thank you for taking us there! I wonder if all those channels that do immense gardening tasks for free could to content for their channels, and also help cleaning the garden areas? Would be amazing to see as well! - By the way, I LOVE the fact you dressed up for the occasion!
What a beautiful palace. This palace is very grand. Thank you for sharing the history of this place.
I studied here since 1992 ultil 1998! I can't belive that one of the most beautifull palaces I've ever seen, has letf behind and taken to vandalism just because portuguese governants where absolutely displicent about taking care of it. Only students of Burnay Palace can understand the sadness of this images. I spent there the most wonderfull times of my life
😢. I lived there for 6 years. I was 19 year old. Now with 50 cant belive how such heritage has left to drown.
Please, share this documentary and thanks to Bros of Decay for all close ups you made of this incredible palace. Please feel free to reach me for further details. Great job! Cheers
Beautifully done as always, Lesley! I could listen to your voice all day and all night ❤
Ador faptul ca te-ai îmbrăcat ca atunci! Grozav documentar! Soer să ajute! Ce frumos ar fi sa fii chemat sa ne arăți rezultatul restaurării!!
This palace is absolutely stunning...ceilings are beautiful...and the detail in the architecture is gorgeous..what a shame it is to see the graffiti and it falling into disrepair...and what a privilege it is to watch this...we have nothing even close to this in Canada..so thankyou so much!!..fantastic documentary..
Fantastic you work so hard thank u lesliex
Thanks Lesley, for sharing to us that very beautiful video of the majestic Palace abandoned by the owner, enjoyed watching, good luck to your next venture, God bless you always 👏🙏😇🐱😅🇵🇭🎉🎉🎉
You look very handsome in those clothes! Love it! I've seen it before with Finders Beepers, History Seekers, but I don't mind another look. Such a wonderful location! I wish they would fix it!
You've covered the Burnay Palace beautifully. What an amazing place it was and could be again at the right hands.
Especial fascinante
Misterioso magico

Agradeço por mostrar a triste realidade aos portugueses.
Wow, what could one say about this grand palace. Can imagine the laughter and chatter amongst the people that once lived and visited there. The grand romantic costumes and finness once in the day. Thankyou Bro,s.
