    We explore an abandoned neo-gothic manor that was built in 1811 in the style of a castle.
    It sits beside the lake with over 200 years of history.
    Lived in until 2015, its weathered walls and crumbling turrets show its now state of decay. Abandoned and isolated, it sits silently.
    Touched by only natural decay, its ornate ceilings and peeling walls hold on to its original grandeur.
    Join us as we tour this beautiful forgotten country manor.

    My sister and brother used to stay here in the 1960s when it was a YHA Hostel. The last time I walked past it was about 2005, I was visiting a friend who lived in a boathouse on the lake, the elderly gentleman who lived here ( I think on his own at that time ) was struggling to move a large log and we gave him a hand. He said he had been living there for 40 years and didn't remember it as a youth hostel when my sister told him she had stayed there as a teenager.

I agree that it's a shame no one bought the place and renovated it. It's such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing that. Stay safe and God bless you all.

    That double headed eagle with the Crown on their necks is a symbol of the scottish (free)masons.As a symbol, the double headed eagle stands for the union of body and spirit. In other words, the ealge represents mankind's dual nature as both a physical and a spiritual being, who must choose good over evil. The double headed eagle of Lagash is associated with Scottish Rite Masons.

It's a shame someone does not buy it and re do it up in the same decor as it was in the day.

    Many of the windows are so small it had to be “gothic-ly” dark without electric lighting. The fireplaces are so small it would seem the high-ceilinged rooms must have felt damp and chili. Such a variety of decor from over the years. I think the Adams family would feel right at home here; the Munsters, too. 😊

    Thankyou for showing us this interesting but now sad old place. It is such a shame to know that these places are just rotting away even though we know that it is the nature of life for things to change & decay to occur.

    on a side note. a walk-through these old places stir up air bourne spores associated with any mold/moisture and the lead based paint that is falling off the ceilings and walls; wearing a mask would be a good idea.
