STORY
Built-in the early 1900s by a successful beekeeper, the Abandoned Mansion of Miss Cornelia is a time capsule of a bygone era. The home was passed down through the generations, but fell into disrepair after the death of its last owner in 2015.
Today, the mansion stands as a haunting reminder of its former glory. The walls are covered in peeling paint, the floors are littered with debris, and the furniture is covered in dust. But even in its current state of decay, the mansion still retains a certain charm.
The mansion is full of secrets. What stories could the walls tell if they could speak? What mysteries lie hidden in the shadows? Only those who dare to explore the mansion will ever know.
This video takes you on a journey through the Abandoned Mansion of Miss Cornelia. You will see firsthand the effects of time and neglect, and you will be left wondering what secrets the mansion still holds.
So click play and let's explore this abandoned treasure trove of history and mystery!

I found that house to have a lot of Art Deco influence; the beautiful wallpaper and gorgeous furniture. Again, I feel so bad for the daughter that she lost her family home. It must hurt knowing that she was barred from getting even those minor personal items, let alone some of her parent's mementos.
Yes, i agree- and the colors (use of orange/tangerine) , glossy paints, simple style of the stained glass, simple, straight lines in the kitchen many examples seem to point to the art deco era selections (exterior of home also possibly - just a quick view but did not appear “victorian” to me.) such a shame Belgium penalizes inheritances so!
It does seem many victorian influences in the furniture - but the bones of the house do seem to point to an art deco era -imo, its sort of a mix of eras really…

It’s really sad that inheritance taxes would keep a family member from claiming their family home. Belgium should fix that, particularly if they are just going to leave the property empty and susceptible to eventual decay and destruction. How sad.
America same that’s the government for you. Greed rather let things rot than to give people a chance
So they foreclose, took it from the lady, not allowing any family to inherit.....then left it to rot. Absolute madness 😡
Is there anyway Leslie that you can check into how this home can possibly get back to their family? This home is absolutely exquisite. It needs to be back with the family.
Too bad she wasn't able to sell some of the stuff on the inside to pay for the taxes
I totally agree with you !!
So sad not to let the daughter keep it instead of leaving it to fall in despair. I feel so sad for her. Looks like she couldn’t even get her personal stuff.
The government doesn't care, they just want money
Yes..and he says smiling so beautiful belgic don t cut the power being socialist country... holy crap! 50% taxes??? What the f@ck a father cannot leave a house to a son.... bad bad bad !
Greedy Banks
@@janncoons7445. No. Not greedy banks. Socialism that taxes people out of their homes. It matters who and what you vote for!
Yes very sad. Crooked greedy bas#$@&*&
That is one of the finest examples of an Art Deco style home I have ever seen. My heart breaks for Monica. We lost our childhood home when my parents couldn't afford the mortgage payments anymore. We were devastated when it was put up for auction.
Wow hardly no dust it must have not been abandoned very long a real treasure❤
Just Heartless of the bank to let this beautiful home be left to ruin instead of making it affordable to the Daughter! Why in the world wouldn’t someone come and at least rescue the home and give there Daughter back her family memories…just unbelievable 😔
You own nothing, and your happy that is now the new government.
I hope someone gets to keep this place, and make it live again. I live in Florida so not many old buildings last here because of the hurricanes. We got one coming at us right now. Florida is constantly being rebuilt. I wish the daughter could have it back. Love how you are always so respectful of these beautiful places. Blessings
Thank you Lesley. That was a nice tour of a beautiful home. It really shouldn’t be left to decay.
What a lovely cozy house. Loved the architecture--fireplace and door arches, coved ceilings, windows, and doors. Also loved the decorating choices. I believe the little metal tool you picked up that had three "pinchers" was used for picking up ice cubes, or pickles or olives. I have never seen nor heard of radiator humidifiers before, but what a great idea. I noticed quite a few pictures that once hung on the walls were missing. So maybe the daughter was allowed to get a few things? But the government not allowing the daughter to at least sell the furniture and household items and the house itself to help pay debts seems ridiculous. What a waste.
Did anyone else think that bed in the corner bedroom looked like there was a person under the covers, or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me? Very eerie.
I thought that right away. It looks like someone sleeping on their side under the covers.
Me too😮
I thought so too😂
That house and everything in it are beautiful. It’s sad to see these places just left to decay. That place could definitely be rehabilitated. It’s structurally sound and all of the furnishings look perfect. Unfortunately taxes seem to really be so hard on people. They can’t even afford to take on a fan ily home. The style of that house is something i would love to live in.
I loved the furniture in this home. I especially loved the staircase with the leaf design. The kitchen was perfect. It is so sad she couldn't leave this to her daughter, at least her personal things and the furniture they should let her keep.
I loved the entrance way with those leafs. I wish I know what king they where.
The wall paper in that last bedroom was gorgeous. It looked like silk damask. Exquisite.
This episode made me miss my nan and made me quite emotional 🥺 what an incredible home and as always Lesley you have painted a beautiful picture of what life was like for this family, you are a rare gem in this crazy world, you're videos always make my heart happy ❤
To me, that's the most beautiful house you've shown inside anyway. Thanks for the tour.
Why is this place sooooo clean. Doesn’t make sense how long has it been abandoned
That's the best preserved house I've seen in a long time. The furnishings and architecture are wonderful. The place is still so clean an tidy that someone could move right in. It really makes me angry that the daughter wasn't even allowed to remove any personal or business items from the house. I agree with you it should never be that way. Those pills "Aerius" are allergy pills. The bed at 40:54 looks like someone is laying in it. Very nice one Lesley.
Nice house, so sad it was just Abandoned, So many good memories Surrounded the house of the Family who had Lived here.
I thought that too. I was glad he didn't pull the cover back. I was afraid of what he might uncover!

That's a beautiful house, I wish that the house was the Daughter's, it's a shame that a house like that has to go to waste
Hi Lesley, Absolutely Beautiful Abandoned Mansion In Belgium Outside & Inside!! 😍
Very Sad News that the Daughter Monica, Couldn`t Have Her Parents House☹ & Praying She Gets It Back Now!!🙏🙏
The Mother Cornelia Must of Been Sick From Something Else, Because Aerius is Only Allergy Pills & Not So Strong
5mg is Little!! Maybe Heart Trouble!! Loved the Basement & All the Electricity in Every Room!!🤩
I Love the Leaves Pressed On the Black Walls in the Hallway, the Chandeliers, the Furniture, the Stained Glass Thru Out
the House!!😍 The Kitchen & Living Room Were Gorgeous!! 😍27.35 Picture In Cabinet was 1967!!
Love All the Decorations!! 😍 You Say the Leaves Are Hand Painted, But I Believe It`s Expensive Wallpaper!!🤩
39.15 is a Stuffed Gorilla,🦍 Not a Teddy Bear!! 🧸 I Love All the 3D Arches!!😍
Take care & Be safe in Your Journey`s!! 😎✌ Have a Wonderful Evening !! ❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA💖
I can’t believe someone hasn’t bought the house! How sad it is that inheritance taxes made it impossible for the daughter to keep it! It is a very sad situation 😢
Oh wow just wow ,this house is beautiful and so full off amazing artifacts,such history left behind. I'd literally move in there and live .I am so envious you get to see this wonderful history and document its past.I have the up most respect for you Lesley how you admire and talk about these peoples history,for such a young man you have great passion and love for history ,I watch many exploration videos but you make my heart fill with admiration for you and your friends ,thank you so much for taking us with you x
From the outside, house looks like art déco. From the inside, it's a mix of different styles. There are art déco pieces ( some luminaires, a fireplace, some doors ). I'm not an expert though. A very nice home.
You’re right. The house, the staircase, its ceiling and wall decoration, the small toilet and many lamps are Art Déco at its finest. Furnishings apart from the neo-classical mahogany bedroom are eclectic, many pieces so-called period furniture from the 70’s. I would move into the house immediately with my art déco collection.
I think the house is Art Nouveau with some Victorian pieces. Love your channel !
Hello Lesley, I like Belgium, I used to live in the French speaking side (Liege). The chandeliers in this house are amazing. Thank you for sharing with us that nice video of this wonderful abandoned Victorian Mansion. You have great taste!
...and as I and so many of us have said so many times, your respect and reverence for these properties, and those who once lived there, is a beautiful thing to experience
Just wanted to say that there’s so many items that could be sold to help pay the taxes on the property!! Can’t believe that the daughter was not given a chance to sale some of the antiques in the home. Have an estate sale which would have helped her out in the long run!!!😔☹️so sad 😞
i love the way you have respect for everything you touch and the way you relive the possible lives of the people in these houses !!!
Lesley, the fact that you are young and have much compassion for these peoples things, says a lot about you. I love your channel for not only that reason, but you bring us so many beautiful things to see. When you are talking, I feel like I am living in the homes you are talking about. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome mansion , it's so sad to leave a place like that . Thank you for sharing us . I really appreciate what you are doing to show us every where around the world ❤❤🎉🎉
Lesley, you are the only one I know that could charm the Devil out of a tree. Your beautifully sophisticated voice soothes indeed the savage beast. Lesley, I would lay odds that your have never had a bad experience with a ghost or demon. The spirits practically welcome you find peace about you! Cool!
So so sad that this house is just left and the memories for the daughter is just left untouched..
Lesley, love seeing this home. Nice to learn a little more about Belgium too. The lace curtains are so beautiful and that wing chair was so fine!
Leslie, your care and respect for other people’s possessions and their history is amazing. Your videos are top notch, from the music accompaniment to your wonderfully knowledgeable narrative. Your videos are simply the best and the only ones I will watch!! Thank you for sharing your passion with us and keep up the good work! ❤
I swear there's a body under the covers of the small bed in that plain little room behind the layered-arch doorway at around 40.00. Take another look.
Bet that's the daughter's room
I hope that good fortune will come to Monica so that she can take over the house, its furnishings and memoribilia and do the needful. Everything is still so pristine, let alone the Persian rugs which could be worth a lot of money. Thank you for sharing this video with us Lesley
Did you notice the faded wall paper where someone took a painting? I will bet that one painting paid for some of the debts. They should allow her to sell the furniture to go toward the mortgage and then do a short sale on the house. You can do that in the states if your bank agrees to it.
I want you to know I love your videos and they are never to long I could watch them for many hours ! Love from the USA 🇺🇸
You are the best exploring channel there is! My favorite!❤
So Beautiful!
Excellent video! Don't know why places are left like this in any country and in the US! Sad
Hello Lesley, i love your Video, very very nice all the things, they have are still prestine, they have very nice and unique chandelier the one covered with cloth. Beautiful furnitures, Large bath rooms with complete belongings are still there, thanks for sharing it, good luck to your next venture 😇🙏🐱🇵🇭
How is everything still so clean? It's baffling me. Gorgeous still.
Who pay the electric bill?
The Belgian people. In Belgium they supply a minimum amount of electricity to everyone so those that can not afford it can do small things.
Wow! What a beautiful place . Absolutely love it! Thanks for taking me along 😊 Sad seeing it abandoned
Very nice home! Thanks for the great tour! ❤
The detail in the ceilings is amazing.
You share so many incredibly beautiful houses but this one leaves me speechless. It must be saved! So unique, so perfectly decorated. ..it's tragic that the law makes it virtually impossible for an heir to be able to keep the family home! The daughter must be so heartbroken. Thank you for documenting this stunning location and sharing it with us. Keep up the great work!!
Very art deco! I’m loving it, it is just stunning. Thank you for sharing Leslie! You always do such a good job of showing us not just the home, but helping us feel the sentiment and love that used to illuminate that home ❤thank you
Thank you Leslie for taking time to relive the sentimental objects there's not value monetarily but the life that was lived is preserved thanks to you keep up the good work and be safe sincerely, Mindy
Great tour, very art Deco. It's sad the daughter never got her inheritance goverments, always bleeding the people.
Can't wait to watch the new video Leslie love your videos
Beautiful home awesome tour Thank you!
Hi Lesley....Great as always...👌👌👌
Can't wait to see this! 🎉❤ Looks amazing
Stunning decoupage hallway, doors are a beautiful burnt orange...sooo amazing ❤ The door between dining and kitchen is a dumb waiter, probably goes up to bedrooms as well. This Victorian home has an art deco vibe ✨️
I want to do the leaves on my walls but I don’t know what kind of leaves they are. Beautiful !
The sheep skins were used to help prevent bed sores in bed-bound patients. I had a lovely one from my grandfather. Don’t think they use them anymore.
Que triste a filha não poder tirar nem as lembranças da família são coisas pessoais dela que um dia ser a descartada no lixo.
A casa maravilhosa da a impressão que a família ainda vive ali.
Thank you to all the non greedy people in the world that try to help others ❤🙏
1920s style, Moroccan influenced art deco - that's my non-expert eye on the architecture, wallpaper, etc. Gorgeous way the rooms are connected in interesting ways.
This place is so beautiful and clean for an abandoned house. Vandal's haven't gotten to it yet. It's a shame that people are taxed for their inheritance of their family home!!
Thank you Lesley for taking us along to this still intact , full of family members memories house . God Bless you 😊
I love watching your videos. Thank you
What a lovely home, thank you! I wish the daughter well.
Hey Lesley, What a wonderful and very beautiful and at the same time nevertheless cozy room with a beautiful
chandelier and remarkable furniture with elaborate carvings! - I am already very excited to see and hear the background story
of this abandoned mansion. - Wishing you all the best, bro, peace and kindest regards.
Such a beautiful place. Thank you for documenting it!
Nice Art Deco home. I liked the decorative ceilings. Some nice pieces of furniture too.
Would have been nice to see a close up of the stained glass windows flanking the fireplace!
Impressive! Beautiful home of organized people with very good taste. It really is sad to see so much love abandoned. A kiss on the heart.
@NelsonAnthony-sl6ri The weather is great! And life goes on as God wants. Thank you for your kindness.
@NelsonAnthony-sl6ri I'm in Sao Paulo - Brazil

Beautiful home. Tk u for sharing ❤❤❤
Your videos are always amazing😊❤
OUTSTANDING!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!! PRESENTATION!!!!! I believe what you do is much needed. This allows me to see how other people(s) around the world lived. I think this also brings us closer together as human beings!!!!! Thank You!!!!!
Very beautiful, sad story. I have never seen a home so beautiful Lesley thank you for showing us a video from your home
Been a while since I have watched your videos but still love you Lesley
Oh my that dining room is STUNNING! Love the wallpaper & the ceiling and that buffet OMG!! ❤❤ Hi from Australia 👋🇦🇺🦘🐨🌞
What a beautiful house sad it going to waste thanks for the video
I've given away most of my things..these explores are bittersweet. Thanks from The Lost Coast.
Dear Lesley, in Australia there is no way any electricity company or the government would allow a trickle of free power to any household in need. Also, no bank that took a house would allow it to sit abandoned. They would sell it all as quickly as possible at what ever price they could get. I feel like there is nothing free or cheap in Australia. It is a country of greed in that way 😔Not me though, I love to feed people or pay a bill or two for them when possible ❤
Beautiful video!!!¡
Such a travesty that her daughter couldn't have the house aboustley heartbreaking 😢
Amazing episode
Thanks for another great adventure!
I Love how Passionate you are it makes everything so Beautiful 😊. Thank you and many Blessings 🙏🏻❤️😊
It is so sad. Thank you for your documentation of their lives.
I think it would be considered Art Deco architecture. Great video and thank you for sharing! I love your voice and commentary.
Essa casa foi a casa mais linda de todas as casas q vc mostro amei muito ❤lindíssima 🇧🇷
Nice room everything that left so elegant & so amazing
That piece that opened and closed, reminded me of one but smaller that picked up sugar cubes.
Lovely place.....ty guys for documented this place...😘
I'm like WOWWW on the art deco architectural and decorative features in the dining room, particularly.
Lesley, I love your energy, passion & empathy! You are a darling. I have a son the same age as you. Will you let me be your adopted American aunt? 😂 You are a doll! I have a house that has been abandoned. I wouldn’t mind you looking through it. We haven’t lived there in 4 years. When will you be in the States again? I live in Tennessee. I love you guys! Stay safe and keep making tbess videos!
Beautiful house. The beautiful decoration is like being in a fairy tale with such incredible furniture and beautiful colors. Greetings from Panama to Alejandro.
Parabéns pela descoberta, excelente trabalho Danny,
This house is exquisite. A perfect example of Art Deco. Great explore!
Completely heartbreaking for the daughter of the house to be denied her family home. The Art Deco style is stunning and at 25:20 the shadow where a picture had been so prominently placed looks to be leaning against the dresser where you are pointing out the small table at 26:50. Hopefully government rules can change and Monica can get back to this place before it is lost forever. That would be a very fitting end to this sad and all too common story. Thank you, Lesly, for sharing this amazing and meticulously maintained home.
Hi, Lesley, wow, yet another stunner! So sad that the greedy heritage people didn't just give her money to fix it up and she probably would have used it as an AIRBNB and paid off the heritage tax and moneys owing! Thanks xx
Hi Lesley, yes this a Stunning Villa. So sad that it is left abandoned. The people that are responsible for this property should be ashamed of themselves. I agree with you Lesley it is disgraceful. WOW !! those are real leaves. It made me very sad to see her washing still hanging to dry. It looks like they put in a new kitchen. Yummy Belgian Waffles. It looks like Monica was locked out of her home before she could take any personal items, so sad. The Formal Dining Room and Living Room are Spectacular. This Villa is in the best condition that i have seen you do so far.
I will always find belgian houses exquisitely beautiful,finely made works of art and the divisions or partitions of their houses speak class .Their furnitures and fixtures are seemingly of unique and stylish origin
Tempus fugit……means time flies.
The Art Deco style of this house is amazing! The arches/ angular ceiling treatments. The leaf motifs on the wall, stair railing and color combinations are Art Deco.
What a beautiful little gem of a place!
Oh what a beautiful home but so sad
so much beautiful antique furniture, nice trinkets with memories, beautiful stained glass windows, beautiful structures, beautiful floors, beautiful lamps, so sad, so very very sad……
