This stunning abandoned French Chateau from the 1700’s still stands in France today and looks like something out of a fairy tale. This beautiful estate has absolutely stunning views and the Chateau itself has 94 rooms. That is quite a massive building!
In the 1990’s, an investment company purchased the property with plans to convert it into luxury apartments. However, they could not get approved for the proper permits so the project was abandoned and the abandoned French Chateau was put up for sale yet again.
Just recently, the property was purchased by an Australian couple with what seemed like an impossible task: restore the property to its true beauty. This is a lot of work for one couple to handle, but they took on the challenge. They started a blog documenting their progress and posting all of the stuff they find during renovation.
This home is massive and it is full of mysteries. Luckily for us, they are posting all of their finds for the world to enjoy.
Take a look at this beautiful property and its majestic secrets. Do not see it as a building that is falling apart. Instead, see it as a trip to the past!
The beauty starts right here at this gate.
Without even going inside, you can see that this home is definitely something special.
When you step inside, it is sad to see the place in rough shape. But you can still find the beauty. Like in that marvelous staircase.
