I can’t believe places like this exist, still in private ownership. This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done,
Many of these big castles are still in private ownership in France and Belgium. And elsewhere too.
They are all over Europe!
Private ownership is redundant
How did you get it to play ? YT videos never play for me and many others - all we get is a blank black screen.

It’s a pity so many of these stately homes, chateaus and castles have been left to ruin. Just imagine if they were all taken care of like this one. It’s gorgeous.
Remember the French Revolution....the French don’t seem to like their historical families ..or their homes etc
Yes, it would be nice if they could all be preserved. It just takes a lot of money or other people to donate their time and/or money.
@@jacquelinearcher1158 Such an overt generalization and insult. Families die, fortunes change. Even after the French Revolution and 2 horrific world wars, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Versailles, numerous Chateaus still stand; and, "...there are enough historical sites, monuments and architectural wonders in France to warrant return trip upon return trip. In fact, there are so many historical must-sees that it’s often difficult to know where to begin."
Little gem's, of the world 🌎
@@jessicaalexandra306 Because the British socialists after WWI were determined to ruin the nobility with excessive taxes.
I am so glad the owner is such a nice fellow. He made the tour of his home, that much more enjoyable. Thank you
😊
Agree. Lovely, humble man

@@ChateautenBerghe you're the best, man. Awesome guy! Hope I could visit your castle too. Stay awesome man. 👏💯
To the owner: Thank you good sir for maintaining and sharing this monument of arts, architecture, craftsmanship, and history. So much love and effort was poured into every space of this castle. It showcases the very best of humanity. Thank you for sharing this and all the special things you bring us Stephanie!
I also agree
So well expressed David!
Yes, it really is testament to mankind, an example of what we can be, a spring board of the better we should ascend from....
This castle is a testament of the remarkable workmanship of a bygone era. I am always in awe of things that were created without the benefit of modern tools.
À shame she never stops talking .he IS so interesting and pleasant to listen to.
She's very annoying, couldn't watch it to the end..
I find it funny that of the three chateaus -- La Lande, Basmaignee, Ten-Berghe -- it's the one that's actually sitting on water that doesn't have problems with water damage!
😂 all our gutters go from the roof to the moat, no drains and trenches for us
@@ChateautenBerghe lucky! and the workmanship of the foundation is astounding, it looks absolutely solid
He seems like a very humble & kind youngman. Thanks for the tour!

@@alexbryson4277 I'm thinking of a confectionary😅😂😂😂
to be fair that is basically the historical southern netherlands in general,
being ruled by differen empires wil do that to you,
you wil find that the dutch are completely different, more direct and less humble
(that isn't a bad thing, our vice is that we wil most likely discuss you when you are gone, we wil hold our tongue about things we dislike about you or mention them in an indirect way, a woman that was asked 'would you like to see flanders and the netherlands unite" answered no and when asked why she sighed and said, "I think we just are not as modern" in more direct words she fears that the Netherlands would force change onto us.
It is positive and negative because we wil also defere our judgement of a person or situation until it has had a chance to really show who or what it is, the Dutch wil immediatly pass judgement on the spot, they may change that oppinion but you know
anyway this is a country where multi miljonairs are often found hanging out with middle class people (though that does not really extend to so called marginals as much, it is mainly about behaviour and interests though)
@@alexbryson4277 I just saw your post. Whom are you asking the question to?
Gasping throughout the entire video tour. Absolutely. Speechless.
Of all the tours you've given us of different chateaus, this has got to be the most phenomenal one!!!
MY! MY! The castle is exquisite. I could go on forever but would run out of words to describe this magnificent work of art.
Phillip you are the ultimate camera man. Thank you to the owner it’s been an honour being taken through his magnificent home & given a commentary on the beauty of this castle.
Thank you Stephanie & Phillip for making this possible. ❤️
Agree, Phillip does an amazing job, thankyou!!👏👏👏
Loved every nook and cranny of the castle...very, very beautiful !!
This castle is truly stunning.
It’s incredible how the owners have managed to maintain the castle for so long.
Ceiling in the dining room is stunning.... The whole room is a work of art.
This is wonderful, especially for someone who will never see it in person. I love the opportunity to listen to a descendant of the previous owners and to hear that his children will grow up in this truly lovely place. It is a big responsibility. I feel blessed to hear about its history, especially from someone who knows the people, who belongs to the people who lived here. Thank you all so much for opening it up to me, for the privilege. Words are inadequate
My home had 55 windows which I never considered - unless one broke - until I had it painted along with eaves and I paid a fortune to remove storms, screens and had them painted. Actually had some windows without corresponding rooms. We unearthed a small riom behind a wall which had 2 old Crystal stick lamps and a handmade pale pink silk and lace bedspread with a matching handmade lace cover. It was as if an early owner was hiding them. I also found 2 complete services of Limoges. One old Haviland and the other Pouyat. They were crated and found only after I saw a leak coming out of an unused coal room decades after moving in. That room creeped me out. Mine was a fraction of the size of this wonderful home. I miss it but not the upkeep which was exponentially more every 5 years. Crazy expensive. It’s nice that a family with children moved in to this special family home. Thanks for the tour.
I’m speechless, so detailed in every single room. You could spend months just exploring this amazing castle. I can’t wait to see the gardens .
Such a fairytale castle. I’ve watched his videos - he’s a wonderful custodian of his family’s heritage.
OK I just had a epiphany! I was born in the Netherlands in 1950, emigrated to Canada in 1951, was immersed in Dutch before I went to school, so verbal Dutch was the first language I heard in my life. Suddenly, I could read those two panels explaining the history of the castle!! Made the terrible story come alive for me.... thank you!!!
It just came back to you? That's crazy good.
@@barbibutton9619 I actually never learned to read or write Dutch. Only heard it spoken. But by figuring it out aloud I discovered I could read it!!
I was born in Canada and grew up hearing my grandparents and mother speaking Flemish. I started learning Dutch at 61 and it seems I have my grandmother's accent. The brain is a very mysterious thing.
That is fascinating to know & yes we are much more intelligent than we give ourselves credit in certain areas.

This place is utterly incredible. The family are truly luck to have it in the condition.
The castle is amazing, Amaury and his family before him, have loving cared for every detail to keep it in pristine condition. What a legacy for the children who follow!
What Fantastic Windows in the Chapel, Beautiful
Dommage que cette femme interrompt sans arrêt avec son rire fatiguant!!!
Tina Does your family by any chance own pizza shop?
the window shades still work-the locking pawl (with the string attached), needs to be pulled pack as you crank, thus allowing the shade to lower-basically the same principal as the old wind-up phonograph mainsprings....push the crank towards the window (counterclockwise-which I think raises the shade), hold the locking pawl back, away from the retention gear ( by the attached cord), and it should lower......to raise them, just crank counterclockwise-no need to hold the locking pawl back....
I'm speechless! Not to mention impressed on the lightness of the Servant's basement - picturing life like Downton Abbey - Can't wait for the rest of the tour!
I do believe that Stephanie and Philip are the 2 people in the world that could visit this beautiful castle and appreciate all its details to the fullest. I imagine you both looking back over the footage of closeup details for years to come, drawing inspiration and triggering memories of your magical visit❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
Stunning! All of it! Everything! I’m so enchanted with all the beauty and charm. Such a legacy that is, thankfully, still alive!!!!
WOW! No words to describe how exquisite and detailed this castle is. It's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
That castle has to be one of the most interesting and beautiful I have ever seen. I just love all the gold and how they have integrated the story and history into the walls Just WOW!! Thank you for the tour Amaury.
Such a stunning Castle, what a treat.
One of your best vlogs, and such a gracious host, I love his vlogs as well. The castle practically shows itself but the added history really was terrific. BBC could not have done better.
This second part of the tour is amazing. I love that the chateau is so well taken care of. so much history told on the walls!
thankyou so much for allowing us to join you in the tour of this magnificient stunningly beautiful fairy tale castle. wow wow wow is all i can think of its breathtakingly beautiful .
A tour could be taken on a wheel cart so you could be pushed from room to room looking up at the embellished ceilings. It's elaborate in detail yet welcoming and cozy.
Bula Stephanie from Fiji! I hardly ever comment, too shy so I'm more of a supportive lurker. But I felt compelled by this video to offer a big thank you for all you do and for sharing all these wonderful adventures. France, like many others here is my dream destination to live and stay and I get so much joy from all your videos. This one was especially wonderful. Its hard to believe that such places exist. Fiji is beautiful, no doubt, but I love the history and charm of your home and area. I so appreciate all you do and will support your efforts always. Take care and thank you again!
Lovely comment 🙏🏻🌸❤️
Well said!
Had the absolute joy to visit Fiji in 2019 before the pandemic hit! Absolutely stunning! Bula from Canada!
Beautifully said!!!
@@sofiamanolakis8214 So glad you had a chance to visit! Take care!
I may never have the resources to go to see these beautiful castles in my lifetime. Many thanks for bringing this to us via CZcams

Amaury has such a great humor xD I would loooove a tour of the chateau by him learning about all of the little details of history and art sprinkled with humor !
😁😊
So much fun to see the smiles...
They have worked long and hard on this beautiful home. Thank you so much for this visit.
Holy cow. Imagine growing up in this place! Such a dream!
imagine playing hide and seek ,,, oh what fun for a child
What a beautiful castle! Wishing him lots of success in filling all its beautiful rooms and keeping it going!
What a fascinating, informative and very funny man! When this blog is over, I'm heading to their channel.....
Thank you 😊
Me Also 😊
Thank you for bringing to light the beauty of old architecture, castles, and chateaus! Your channel has truly shown me a part of the world and history that I didn't know I would love - but I do!
Most. BEAUTIFUL CASTLE. I've ever seen! !!
Drat, when we were in Bruge, did not know this master piece of history & design, was so near. Thank you for sharing! 💞😊

What a beautiful castle and a brilliant lesson on the use of gold. I've never seen gol dused to such effect, to compliment the entirety and not take over.
This was like a guided tour through a museum! Absolutely stunning and lots of fun. Thank you so much! And I saw my name on the list as a new patron!
What a amazing place. Oh my goodness a beautiful castle. It is truly breathtaking, and that is from video. I cant imagine it in person . I can relate it to Downton Abbey. I am just amazed.

How beautiful... all the tiny details and the grand details .... Thank you for sharing this wonder of a Castle.
What a masterpiece. New-Gothic is the best!
Good morning. I watched this episode with my mom. My father is in the hospital and she said can we watch this again with Dad. Thank you for these videos.
What a beautiful castle! I love how everything is so ornate. I love the dining room.

Rainy Scotland here and looking forward to this episode 💗💕🥰
Truly stunning place!Thank you for sharing it with us!
What a treasure!!! ❤️ When the world is “ normal” again, I will visit this enchanting home. I am so happy the owner truly loves it.
WOW! This has to be the most incredible castle to ever visit. So much history and rather modern facilities created centuries ago. And Amaury is a delight and a bit of a mischief! Full of fun. Such an enjoyable blog. Thank you for taking us along!
Absolutely beautiful.
It.feels like I'm there with you all!!
Wow. I have a similar aged model of the Singer sewing machine that was my grandmothers. Yours has been a lot better taken care of them mine. It was in my parents attic for probably 30 years. I remember Grandmother sewing with it.
This is castle is truly magnificent! Wow
Brugge is such a beautiful city and I can't believe I missed this beautiful castle.
Armoury is so charming. His home is extraordinary. For some reason he reminds me of Phillip especially when he said with a little smile, "so you are attracted to gold?" Lol. Thank you for sharing.
😁
I'm only 10 minutes in to this vlog but already I don't want it to finish!! Stephanie, I love it when you visit other chateau's and this one is amazing!! Rising up from the water! I'm in awe!🕍🏰 I hope you film a few episodes on this one, there is so much to take in!!🎆🎉💕
blown away!
This is an amazing property! Love the fact that there is a sense of a family continuity (with the family portraits and heirlooms), is effortlessly done cause it belongs to a member of the same noble family who built the place. A lot of new chateau owners lack this element, some of them try to create a more aristocratic ambiance and not a boutique hotel deco but still you can sense that the real thing of ancestral heritage is missing. It is a lovely and well preserved chateau. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Athens Greece ❣️
As you both paddle off on the boat at the end, I can just imagine dear departed and horrendously missed, grieved over & wept over Lancelot in between you both, alert, wagging his tail, keeping his balance & doing what dogs do best, living in the moment
❤️💜❤️
Fascinating place. Bruges has always been on my bucket list, maybe next year?
Truly stunning castle ...Philips filming is fantastic xx
The detail and decor of this castle is so intriguing and luxurious. Really stunning. And your host was so charming and friendly, the kind of person that you can feel at ease around and that you can trust. I'm sure you all became fast friends. Hope to see more in future visits.
I just can’t take it all in, what an incredible home
My Mother had this sowing machine... as a little boy, I was fascinated by the little steel bobbins for holding the thread and the pedal. I must have nipped my fingers countless times on the leather belt
Amaury thank you for your warm hospitality and sharing your beautiful home ( castle) . Stephanie and Phillip your lovely hosts .❤️❤️
What an amazing place! Thank you for this video!
The court jester pointing the way! That’s hilarious 😂 I love these little jokes & perks 💖.
That was really fascinating- especially the dining room. I probably could spend hours just staring at the linen canvas mural💕
Stunning castle. One of my favorites. Maybe one day I’ll stay there.
I am Gwenda. My son is David.
Seeing such a castle in France is a dream come true! How I wish I could come and experience this grandeur and LaLande !!! Bless you Stephanie and Philip and bless this sweet gentleman, his wife and children for allowing us to see their magnificent home. It has been such a blessing! ...Gwenda
This castle is in Belgium not France.
Thank you! I forgot that's where they went.
Thank you so much for the tour Stephanie!
Absolutely stunning 🥰
This is one of my favorite castles. I’ve seen a video of it before and it took my breath away!
Did the video give you your breathe back afterwards?!?!?!

@@alexbryson4277 no but I would love to have one!
The chapel windows are amazing!
I adore the idea of each set of guests having their own breakfast area in case they are grumpy in the morning, that would suit me perfectly!😂Kind regards from Georgina (Derbyshire England)
😁
Those old sewing machines can be made to work again. Submerge the whole mechanism in kerosene and gradually the gummed up oil, which causes the seized parts, will loosen. It’s a laborious process, but it works.
Indeed! Bernadette Banner has one and filmed an entire video about her pedal singer sewing machine!
i love them because it requires no electricity
Getting a third old Singer today - amazing & fascinating machines. This one is a working electric model on a queen anne table - never seen another. Another is so perfect & like new with drawers stacked with it's entire history including original sales brochure and handwritten prices on all the models on offer. Would be very happy to ensure all go to a good home - what could be better than here to a guy who really appreciates and is enthusiastic about the design, history and technology.
But might that process also remove the Egyptian decoration?
Ohh I can't wait to see the attics !! What a magical place.
It’s so beautiful!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 the stained glasses, the fireplace, the way to the chapel from the bathroom, the whole kitchen, stone stairs-they’re all treasures!! 😍
Cant say much about it but absolutely gorgeous!! The amount of decoration and details... such a dream
My husband and I stayed here on a trip to Belgium. It was amazing!!
Wow! Beautiful, beautiful castle. How fun to see the treadle sewing machines. I have my godmother's 1910 Singer treadle and an 1850s treadle, have made quilts on them both.
This is your most interesting chateau tour to date! Amaury's family history and its relationship to Bruges as well as the detailed architectural and interior design. Thank you!
Amy Does your family by any chance own pizza shop?
I'm sure my place in such a grand building would be below stairs, and looking at how impressive it is, I'm happy with that idea.
Absolutely stunning! It's grand, yet cozy, and the restauration job the finest... Lucky family to leave in a place so beautiful and full of history
Thank you so much .I have never seen a castle like this absolutely enchanting.
What an exciting vlog Stephanie and Phillip , so interesting and full of history...thank you!!
Thank you thank you, that was a fantastic vlog and when we get thru this pandemic my husband and I will plan a wonderful trip to the Castle ten Berghe.
Wow! What an incredible castle! Absolutely beautiful!
Oh, the memories of learning to sew in 1958 using a treadle sewing machine, antiques to 11 year old girls in home economics class.
What an amazing and stunning place to see, so many details to view
Wow! That was quite the tour! Beautiful
The whole episode was fantastic! Awww...the ending was my favorite part! Amazing! Nice job - all of you, including the hidden one behind the camera! I wonder if the host grew up there?
Don't thinks so - he said his parents and grandparents never lived there. And he said he visited his great-grandparents there.
Stacy Does your family by any chance own pizza shop?
USA standing by! Cannot wait!
Amazing, I didn't realize how close they were to Bruges! My husband and I spent many days wandering around and relaxing there. Would love to return and possibly stay at Castle ten Berghe.
I would not be able to leave the dining room it is fantastic x
What a delightful host! So glad he can keep his heritage home alive & thriving.
so interesting especially the owner's story would have loved to hear more of the history of the occupation etc.
