  • Bonjour á tous,
    This week at the Terry and Ash take us on a discovery on part of the chateau we have not seen, but with a couple of discoveries the pair find It hard to figure it out what it is and why its there. Plus a hidden room leads them to a discovery hidden under the châteaux walled garden. A secret room which looks like It has been bricked up at a later date, what will the pair find hidden in this 18th century castle?

    About us,
    We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
    The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
    Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
    Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

    The first room looks like an old cold store. A 1700's version of a refrigerator. My Amish neighbors do something similar in two ways. One, and the simplest, is just a shelf down below ground level in the well house to keep cream, milk and butter cool. The second is a shed that has a stone lined pit situated slightly underground or even a small cellar where the temperature is cooler than above ground, like a cave and used for the same purpose, keeping things cool. I've seen one that had an ice hold where they bring in a block of solid ice that has been stored in a purpose built ice house and the ice is packed in sawdust to keep it frozen for as long as possible, well into summer. Blocks of ice are brought from the ice house and put into the cold store as needed to store perishables in a closer proximity to the kitchen or dining room of the house for ease of use. A big clue is the slit window, it would provide ventilation and a cross draft but it's too narrow to be entered or to allow too much air to escape. You see this sort of thing a lot in old butteries. The idea is air flows over the cold stone and helps keep the temperature down, if there is an ice hold then the cold air from the melting ice circulates and chills the air even more, sometimes they had porous tile floors that they would wet to help cool the air when in use. In addition, it helps discourage mold because of the constant ventilation that pulls out the damp air as the melt water evaporates. Just a guess but, that's what it looks like to me. I could very well be wrong.

      @fr.barryschoonbaert3844 Před rokem +11

      I agree. When I was a young lad I remember we had something similar at home in which we stored cream from milking until the creamery came to collect it. Inside was sawdust and ice and the cream cans were lowered into it. We would also store our butter and and even vegetables.

    • @jezabellum
      @jezabellum Před rokem +11

      @@fr.barryschoonbaert3844 Exactly! My neighbors did the same thing. Makes sense when you think about it. Warm air rises and cold air sinks so, the coldest point is in the pit they found. I was wondering about the pile of slate as well and then I thought, slate is heat resistant. Likely they used the slate as a ceiling, maybe similar to a drop ceiling as we think of them today or maybe even a pitch roof that helped with directing air flow. All in an effort to help keep that tiny room as cold as possible. Our ancestors were pretty clever. ;)

    • @Ashencrowe
      @Ashencrowe Před rokem +9

      I fully agree. My Great-Grandmother had something like this at her farm in Michigan, USA. The thick walls of the Chateau would really aide the heat-sink effect. I'd put a proper heavy door on that, and I bet it'll come in handy for chilling beverages, and all kinds of thing.

    • @user-vb6gl6nf7c
      @user-vb6gl6nf7c Před rokem +7

      @@Ashencrowe I think the Châteaux all had heat transfer and fluid flow experts designing air flow inside them, based on prevailing winds and weather patterns. Just like the ice cellars and other food cooling preservation already in use, it seems to me that the whole buildings have open upper rooms and vents, and lower openings in cooler areas, as well. Even if the little room that we saw in the château was not specifically for food, it might very well have been designed to keep the inhabitants cooler by passing air over the ice, through the day rooms, and out the top. At night, winds would shift and the reverse would occur keeping upper bedrooms cooler and lower rooms clearing the day’s heat out. They do similar things in North African building design, making use of day and night wind flow directions for cooling or warming.

    Just had another thought; in 1755 thunder jugs were used for ladies and gentlemen to relieve them selves so you could be looking at a space where they were able to do that. The jugs were then removed by staff, so you may not necessarily find a sewer type system associated with that space.

    I think the small room off the dining room would have been the “butlers pantry” where the silver service and wine would have been stored. The close proximity to the dining room would mean that bottles could be brought up from the cellars ahead of time, the sediment would have had time to settle and the butler would be able to decant the wine. The window would have been useful for illumination for cleaning the silver. The fact that it was panelled suggests it would have been a room that would have been seen on occasions.

    After the French Revolution some chateaus, especially the ones that were fortresses, were required to remove parts of the building, that identified them as fortresses or military buildings.
    Stephanie from LaLande recently found out that is part why her moat had to be changed into a dry moat, the drawbridge removed etc. She found documentation from a military engineer.
    Could that place have been a butlers pantry entry with access to a wine/ cider cellar. Deliveries could have been brought in from the outside, straight to the cellar but accessible through the buttlers pantry.

    • @ji8044
      @ji8044 Před rokem +15

      It would never have been a privy next to a paneled room because of the smell, so it's not that.
      They could have an original cellar under the lawn they can dig out, a well head where water was drawn, or perhaps what we call a spring house in the US, where perishable food stuffs were kept in the summer. So I'm on a similar track to you.

      French Revolution? I thought it was King Louis XIII with Edict of Nantes and Edict of Grace (Peace of Alès) in 1629 that resulted in building changes (removing military potential from various buildings or be destroyed). Maybe what the video is seeing, remnants of prior fortified chateau that was destroyed (basis of different stone-brick laying patterns)?

    Looks like the first space was ice pits to store big ice blocks and to store foods that needed to be kept cool. Dundurn Castle in Hamilton Ontario has rooms like that below as well. Thinking the room off the dining room could have been to keep wine cool and dark or an armory room.

    A few thoughts, The tunnel may have been blocked off at sometime if it had caved in along the route to the chateau, and when you opened the door to the side room and showed the painted paneling above the door. Since its behind the door, Have you ever checked to see if that paneling is behind the rest of the room. They may have had that originally and then at some point remodeled and used the real wood paneling. One more, I dont remember anyone asking if you have discovered where the original stairs were located before they added the tower.

    Great video. My vote for the room off the dining room is a stairwell with a window, and has been previously commented, access to basement kitchen space below.

Put a smile on my face, thanks🤣🤣😊.❤❤ My guess is that the stairs leads to a cold cellar. Since back in 18th century they used under ground rooms for cold storage. (refrigerators weren't around yet). They relied on the Ice house to deliver ice for the household to keep their perishables nice and cold. The niches that were cut out could be where lanterns were placed to see in the darkness.

    I think the narrow “window” in the lower room was a shooting hole. From within you have a wide range to view outside for attackers and to shoot at them. while they only had a narrow hole to shoot at. The wall takes away a big part of the view to the left so I expect that the wall and the toilet are from a later date.

    • @malagastehlaate230
      @malagastehlaate230 Před rokem +10

      That's what I was thinking... Looks VERY much like an arrow slit... where you can on the corner there shoot out from there. I expect that corner of the building to be much older than some of the rest. But it looks very much like a defensive arrow slit to me. Plastered over as well ... later you wouldn't have a need for that. And that beam there and the thickness of that wall there in the dinning room suggests to me that it was some sort of entrance at one time. Or exit. Imagine when you clean all that debris out it'll give more clues... But I am thinking there used to be stairs there and it went out... And that slit down there behind that door was for defense.

    Well, this is very interesting. To me it looks like the original parts of the room to the side could be well older than the chateau proper. Whilst touring through Europe and visiting many medieval fortified castles, I saw lots of arrowslits in them, and that's what the "window" you discovered looks like.
    "A castle’s Arrowslit or Arrow Loops were narrow vertical apertures in a fortification. From them, archers could launch arrows or crossbowmen bolts.
    The interior walls behind the arrowslits were usually cut away at an oblique angle in order to give the archer a wide field of view and fire."
    I love the creepy effects you added into the vlog. It added to the mystery. Spooky!
    Could the room off the dining room have been a china pantry? Is the paneling from the walls in there? Did any ceiling it may have had collapse? I do believe the walls there could be much older.

    This was a really good video. Loved seeing you have a chat while you explored the mysteries of the chateau. By the way, the eerie fog was a perfect backdrop for this video. The views in the distance as the fog was lifted were stunning. If walls could talk, they would tell you what has been silenced through the centuries. I’m sure there are historians in the area who could give you more insight. I can’t wait for followups on these mysteries as you find out more information. xx

    I would put in my vote for additional videos for discovery of out buildings....
    they will help you explain the working parts of the old chateau as to how and why...
    naturally ask around town of the old people that may have worked there decades ago..
    OR .. .
    that they have known similar buildings at other properties in the region or France.
    REALLY COOL EPISODE!

    💕Maybe the cupboard in the corner had stairs/steps going down to the basement most chateau owners kept wine below stairs where it was cooler OR how they got food up from the kitchen as most chateau kitchens were below stairs as well💕As for the slitted window these were normally in place to put a arrow or rifle through to give a warning shot to stay away💕Failing that it could be a shortcut for post/messages as it is so low💕

    Great videography at the beginning! What is the face that appears around the 14:40 mark? Is your Chateau listed in that book that Billy Pethericks purchased recently? He just showed it today. Next, do you know the names of the owners back in the 1500's and 1755? I would research what was going on in that area back in / on those dates.

Show off the History of the chateau even if this was a Bathroom!.. Sometimes the servants cleaned out the stalls where the waste dropped, there may have been seats to allow a place to clean out from below? Very Cool Video Thank You From Boston, we love you guys!

  • @lydiaajohnson
    @lydiaajohnson Před rokem +3

    I agree with the cold room theory for the lower level. The upper level would have warmed in the sun too much. I live in an old building with outside brick walls about 12” thick (about a third of a meter). This is above ground. In the winter, it’s cold. In the summer, it is literally a brick oven.
    But, I would check with French historians and local owners.

    I would say the small room off the dining room is definitely a toilet. After drinking so much tea or wine it would be very convenient. Thats why there is a window also. It would be some kind of set up that the waste would be removed often. Guess it would be considered a luxury in those days. The other toilet outside would be for the servants and outdoor workers I would say. Remember there was such a distinct difference in the classes in those days.

    the tree next to the little room looks like the whomping willow from Harry Potter..
    As the access is exterior maybe it was used as a laundry of maybe a well that's been filled in and possibly kept from the original farm house and built into the Chateau, would be really interesting to find out for sure. Not sure you would have a toilet next to the dinning room, if it was a well in the lower part then maybe the upper room was used to bring the water up to the kitchen area when the dining room wasn´t being used.. a real mystery for sure guys.

    In my circa 1770's American Colonial home, I have a well in my cellar. When I saw the area in what you're calling a pantry, it made me think it may have been a well at one time. In case it is, BE CAREFUL! I don't think you'd want to make the news for falling down a well!
