- Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► / brosofdecay
The house got abandoned around 2 decades ago. Edward used to live here together with his wife and children. For the first time ever we take you to the country of Switzerland, a country that is landlocked in the middle of Europe, countless stories reside within its borders, and over the next coming weeks, we are going to document a small fraction of them. We start off with the story of Mister Edward and his family, they started living inside this house just after the Second World War ended in Europe. Edward and his wife were madly in love and decided to raise a family and make countless memories inside the walls of the house. Life went by seemingly quickly, the children grew up, went to study and move out, this left Edward and his wife alone again to enjoy their well-deserved retirement,
But unfortunately for Edward things turned south, his wife got sick and passed away early, this left him in deep grief and he had to live out the last years of his life on his own.
Today we will tell the story of Edward and take you on a tour throughout his Wonderfull mansion, get ready for an intriguing adventure.

You can tell they are minimalists, no junk anywhere. Beautiful house.
A lot has changed after I explored this place two years ago. It was mysteriously tidied up, either by some explorers or by the current owner, which is an arabic man. However, the furniture in the living room used to be all over the place, it was a bit cramped, but not because of vandalism. It was actually abandoned like that. The house, as you see it in this video has been like that since it was tidied up by someone last year.
You said Edward was a military man. I must tell you that in Switzerland every citizen must attend military service for a while so you'll find military equipment in pretty much any house here, regardless if they are actually a military person or not. It's something many foreign explorers said when they came to my country to explore untouched places. They often found uniforms and many other military things. It's normal to find basic prepping items in most households here in Switzerland. I always recognize the same items in every abandoned house in my country. It's just a part of the vibe of abandoned places in Switzerland.
You also asked about that door in the basement. Doors with wooden patterns like these are very common for storage rooms in basements in Switzerland, from my experience they were mostly integrated into unused private fallout shelters in the 1960s. (almost every house in Switzerland has a fallout shelter)
These stoves in the living rooms are the most common thing ever here in Switzerland, I've seen a dozen of them in abandoned houses. People love to put things onto them, the steps were also used to sit on them if you need to get warm. They always have the building date on them, that's useful for us explorers.
Looking forward to explore together with you in Switzerland next time!
Interesting. Thank you for the input as I was so impressed by the fact that it appeared abandoned houses in Switzerland are extremely immaculate. I loved catching glimpses of the Delft pottery. The valuable Delft pottery. I have a few pieces but not the very valuable pieces I look to collect. Just a stunning place. Here in the USA this place would have been trashed for sure. Graffiti would have been all over the place. I love the blue and white which seems to be predominate colors in your country. Interesting to be taken on these journey's without ever leaving your house now. Thank you and thank you to Lesley who brings us with him wherever he goes.
Urbex Badger - Do you have a video of the house when you saw it. I would love to see it.
So interesting, thank you!
Edward was a military man.. but not in Switzerland.. he was a Nazi who fled Germany after the war to avoid prosecution for crimes against humanity
@@scotttrades Nah man.
That's not an "envelope press" on the desk. It's a rocker blotter, with a piece of blotting paper on it. J. Hérbin still makes small rocker blotters. I have one, because I write with antique fountain pens.
Things written with liquid ink take a bit of time to dry. To make them dry instantly, you can press the blotter on them, to absorb the excess ink.
This home is in really good shape considering it's been abandoned for so long. It most definitely was very well made!! Thanks so much for taking us along with you in this absolutely gorgeous home!!
I’m surprised no one squatted in them !
It probably has something to do with the mild cooler weather preserving it.
I think it great place to go
This home is in amazing shape. Why does the family not keep the house? They left his military awards why. I got all my great great grandparents to my mom and dad’s stuff just because it has memory and personal memories.. crazy 😜 happy to see over there they have not trashed and stole everything.. you and your camera man awesome 👏 should come out here to Northern Michigan we have lots of abandoned homes., I love 💕 looking for them.. hehe old home hunting lover. 😘😘😘

Lesley…Such beautiful, magical memories you share. A true storyteller with such compassion and respect 🙏🏻💙
I love your ending sentiment thanking Edward for his life and enabling you to bring it to the internet to never be forgotten 🥰🙏
So, stop complaining and owning the world because we are all dying on the day we're born. 🙏
Have recently been watching various explorers.....have to say-- you are the best in my eyes. You have such a calm, peaceful respectful manner. You take time and care as you discuss the interesting pieces you come across. You articulate so well...
I'm so impressed....
My only problem is that your voice is so soothing, it has lulled me to sleep on occasion so I end up having to watch an episode twice [I'm not ~really~ complaining though😉]
Bravo on a fantastic exploration!
I agree. His soothing voice has pulled me to sleep at times too. I told a friend if I have trouble falling asleep I should put on one of his videos. But I so enjoy his videos, if I do doze off, I always go back and watch the full video.
What a beautiful home with a sad end for his loneliness without his love.
This is so cool! I cannot believe how clean and neat that place is! I wish we knew more history of it. Where are his Children? Thank you for sharing this!
Lesley, here your friend Suzy sending good vibes and much love ❤️
Beautiful place!
This mansion is a treasure! Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing! You always do wonderful Leslie! So sad nobody lives there in that wonderful place!
The white device on the wall is an air humidifier. Put water in it.
The place behind the bed is NOT to put wood in it but place a bed warmer in it for example stones to heat up.
The half pipe shaped block on the desk is for to clean dry paint after written to a letter !
The love and respect you show for your abandoned places.. is heartwarming. 💜
Thank you for including your viewers in your adventures. I think it is wonderful how respectful you are to the properties you go to. Thank you again, Safe travels.
What a great find, the wood accents were very exceptional from the cedar? Built in cabinets to the trim all over the house. I was surprised that the master bedroom was so clean after all these years , the still made bed and white bedspread. The wallpaper was charming. I enjoyed that it appeared that the gentleman still did his own dishes, kept fine cordial type drinks for entertaining and even washed the ash tray, such tidiness. The upstairs living room looked very comfortable in a by gone era way, it all was very charming, thank you for sharing.
Looks very interesting Lesley ,we have missed our Sunday family live chat lv Ann uk 🇬🇧
It is an emotional high of the week to go back in time with Bros of Decay!!!
I always think about where the owners were gone after watching videos like this.I watch all of your videos and I wish you good health.
Lovely old home. I feel the sadness there of when he was there alone and I've also feel the warmth of when they were together there' it's a lovely place' it's quaint. They must have had a nice time living there. RM thank you for showing it to us it was very nice.
I find it interesting that there are no cob webs upstairs. The painted walls are still shiny too. Really intriguing.
Your respect and reverence for the memory of Edward come through clearly. I don't think he would mind you exploring his home.
I am always amazed at how these places are left with everything left behind and no one has gone in and taken everything. Most containing valuable possessions. Amazing I always enjoy your videos I feel like I’m right there with you. Be safe in your travels
It’s Switzerland, the people there tend not to steal. Same in Japan. They’re both high trust societies
@@lavish_1717 hahaha sure...
It's just that that their banks are biggest money laundering machines in the world.
@@invinciblecucumber
Japan too ?
Thank you Lesley for this explore!! Everything about this house is absolutely exquisite! A very joyous energy it has!! How fortunate for anyone who had the opportunity to reside there, if even for a short duration.
I still have a food grinder and we use it. Looks exactly the same. As usual, these homes leave a sinking feeling in my heart. A very lonely feeling. But I wouldn't miss any of them. Thank you
I thought I wasn't going to see this download. I kept getting a message that said "this program cannot be viewed on this device". I'm so glad it finally came through. Not a disappointment at all. I always like the way Lesley does his documentaries. Always respectful and shown well. Thank you for the wonderful view of this home and time capsule.
Hey Lesley! Wow! This room is amazing with beautiful and colored details. This video deserve a million of applause!!!!!!
He lived a very good and long life. I hope he was happy in his simple life. Was there any children and where are they today ? I guess we will never know. Keep up the great job you do finding homes for us to look at. Stay safe and i will be watching for you next week.
Hi William ! Nice to know you ! Thank you for agreeing to accompany our friends in this adventure ! I hope you both enjoyed Switzerland ! ✌
Thank you for a very lovely view of an old house. I used to live in a house that was renovated in 1746, so let me tell you, the place could be much older than 1866. And my guess is, that rooms used to be bigger and the walls that are very thin are new. Keep going, I love what you are doing.
I would like you. To put the lids down on the piano”s pleas thank you
Absolutely loved this beautiful place Leslie!!! Sooo very nice & pristine!!! It makes me sooo very sad that the children of Edward didn’t take care of him, at the end of his life😞😢😰It breaks my heart ♥️ that they didn’t come back for the priceless air looms & memorabilia, such as pictures, his medals of honor, the antique wooden furniture, glassware, beautiful pewter candle sticks & sooo very many other cherished memories…the artwork in the attic was probably priceless!!!😢😞😰 The structure, other than the roof, which needs reroofed, looked to be in reasonably good shape 👍 Sad that it can’t be bought, if not moved into by family members & be loved once again!!!❤️ The authentic wooden wall paneling, doors & windows…were absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Leslie! I truly loved it ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lesley, everyone. From South Africa. Limpopo. I love watching you discoveries-daily. I like the way you do your videos.
A beautiful place with many precious memories! The stoves and furniture look really interesting! Those abandoned paintings in the attic are such a sad sight!!
Thank you for this nice exploration!
What is so beautiful about your commentaries is your sentimentalness and heartfelt interest in the human lives who lived in the past You have a wonderful voice
Once more another beautiful home.. saved in time for us to see! Thanks for sharing!
This was a great find. I was curious why the children of the parents did not take over the house? I also like that you always keep the location a secret. I can't wait until the next adventure.
Wonderful time-capsule! And No vandalism. Love this!
This is so beautiful! How exciting to be in Switzerland! 🥰😍
Wow! It's beautiful as well as it shatters my heart to imagine his last days in this mansion. Memories are left only. Your videos make me feel that I'm exploring the place myself. Such an amazing video. Love you Leslie.
Hi Lesley, I love watching your videos. I love how you explain things. Keep making great videos thank you. 💖❤💙💜💚💛💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hermosa casa y bien mantenida a pesar de años de abandono.Lastima que ninguno de sus hijos quiera vivr en ella y asi mantenerla en buen estado.Saludos desde Argentina
I love this beautiful place and wish someone could live there. Really enjoyed this video. This may have spiderweb and dust but so clean and neat. Thanks Leslie
Great seeing a lovely Swiss home. Thank you Leslie. I look forward to seeing the next countries on your tour.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing these beautiful homes with the rest of us. I have to say I love the way you show respect for these places no matter what the condition. Keep sending videos our way. ❤️
This was so very kind of you, Lesley! Your passion for exploring is wonderful. I wished I could live here - a charming house!
Que triste ver estas mansiones en el abandono total , gracias por estos bellos recorridos
As an American really wanting to love to Switzerland and this was just so great to see, makes me love this place we learn so little about even more, I feel like that goes for many videos on this channel though, it is just so so amazing to see and you tell these stories and I learn these things that’s are common knowledge to many Europeans, it’s just so cool

Cool you’re in Switzerland 🇨🇭 have fun & drive slow 😉
That was wonderful! Please Mr. Wondering Mind, write another story. Thank you.
Hi Lesley, loved this visit to a beautiful home in Switzerland. So many antiques and treasures and that old phone was just a gem to see!
Many thanks for all your hard work and good to see work on the van is progressing nicely as well! 🤗👍
Hello Lesley! Very interested and different Architecture in Switzerland 🇨🇭 😀. Nice narration of the history of the Family owner of the house. The wood furniture are amazing and the paintings in the attic increíble founding. I am hope some family members to go rescued the paintings soon. I am love too the dollies and the beautiful work of the embroidery item over the 🛋. Thank you for your exploration! One big 🤗😍😉😍👍❤
Leslie this was wonderful! I have never seen stoves like that. Nor have I seen doors like that. Was so interesting to compare what we have here in the states and what is over in France and Italy and England compared to that. I love the blue. That was loads of fun. Thank you so much. You and your companion stay safe. Sending sweet vibes from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Absolutely amazing...THANK YOU for showing us such exquisite sights. The worn tile floor interested me also...i love that you notice such details, in these homes.
What a beautiful room. So excited to see this wonderful documentary 🏰
On the desk is an ink blotter, when they wrote letters
Hey Lesley, what a great adventure in Switzerland. The house of Edward is amazing. You are such a great storyteller, and I love how you are able to tell of story of Edward. Looking forward to your next video. xxoo
Love this adventure Leslie!!! This mansion was beautiful. Totally enjoy all of your videos!
I really enjoyed this beautiful place showed with respect 📸. The music for the documentary is so calming like your voice. Even if there is not anything interesting you make it interesting. The piano, the irecredible room with the desk with ink blotter, sofa , small dining table and chairs. Rotary phone 📱
Can't wait to see more of Switzerland and other countries including the US. 📸📷
Keep the irecredible documentaries coming.♥️
I truly enjoyed this awsome place you explored. Your way of showing the places you'v been bringing places to life. I thank you.. Looking for more from you. History is fasenating.Even with being 66 , and looking back to now is priceless when living through change.
Oh I and my brother were using the same wooden equipment during the Winter in Central Europe; the attic looks exactly like my parents and also lots of furniture and ADL objects. Feel very nostalgic....thanks and greetings from Toronto!
This is one of the best mansion that I have seen from y’all!!! It’s so beautiful, I can only imagine what it looked like in its prime. Keep up the great work and stay safe!!😁😍🙃

بيت جميل يشعرك بالحنين الى تلك الحقبة شكرا لك على هذه الجولة
Hi Lesley 🥰 it is a meat mincer. My mother used to have one exactly like this (my grandmother lived in the USA and gave one to her). Mum would mince freshly purchased meat before cooking it.
I always called it a meat grinder.
@@Bluerose888 that will do too 😁. And actually from recollection we would toast bread slices let it cool and than pass it through the “grinder” to a powder 😉👍
Bro... That looked awesome.. ,so 1866 built? Probably 4 generations lived there. Where are the now adult children? Such a beautiful home! Would have loved to see the land scape also😉. ..Thank you! 💕
With your videos I don't have to travel outside my home to see all these places u visit lov it so relaxing I get sleepy your voice is the best!!!!!
Thank you very much)) As always, each house has its own comfort and atmosphere. 💯👏👏
What a beautiful man you are and I really enjoyed the home thank you. Xx from Australia.
Thanks Lesley for all those things you showing us ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was wonderful Lesley...
Thank you so much... 🎼💙
