Step into the enigmatic embrace of this ancient French chateau, shrouded in mysteries that weave through the tapestries of time, tracing its origins to the 15th or 16th century.
Within its walls, valuable family history has remained in its chambers. Delving into its rooms reveals the life of Mr. Alexis Bego, who once presided over this grand edifice.
At a mere age of 20 years old, Alexis embarked on global odysseys in state service, braving the Crimean War and defying odds even after losing both of his legs. His seafaring prowess earned him the title of sea captain and accolades as Knight of the Legion of Honor. Remarkably, he graced this world for 104 years, until 1928, when he passed away.
Upon his passing, his eleven children inherited the chateau, yet evidence suggests it lay largely untouched, preserving its vivid past. An ancient letter, dated 1821, predates Alexis's birth, entwining deeper the castle's enigma.
Throughout, vestiges of a German connection linger, whether borne of familial ties or the scars of conflict.
Join us as we tread the halls of this historical haven, uncovering every hidden tale and forgotten corner.

Abandoned France: Epic Abandoned Sea Captain's CASTLE in France | This Man Lost Both Legs During War!
#abandoned #urbex #france
Hey it’s me from the hotel when y’all crashed in your car I just wanna say keep the work under
You boys dont gove yourselves enough credit, So many of us truly enjoy everything you do.
That electrical unit in the silver box is a old fashioned tens unit. The bedroom fits the legs because the man was probably smaller and the smaller bed makes it easier to get in and out. He must have spent his later years watching television in that room.
Beautiful place , so sad to see it rot away . Out of 11 children, not one there to fix it up or at least sell it 💔 . Great explore and what a war hero to live to 104 and be double amputee back in those days thay didnt even have antibiotics. Bet he had a very interesting life😊
I loved this one! The poor old guy rattling around the house that just kept getting more crowded. I think he was dissatisfied with his fake legs so he kept getting new ones. Quite a sport and cute! Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this video, my favourites are the french and belgium architecture, i loved the sundial and the massive fireplace, beautiful home xxx
Omgosh I don't think I have ever seen a roof that is so steep, with such sharp angles... It is stunning wow
Velmi zajímavé místo, děkuji. Myslím, že tolik protéz nohou mohl mít ten pán. Není jednoduché mít pohodlnou protézu nohy, která dobře funguje. Starý pán mohl vyzkoušet od roku 1945 několik druhů falešných nohou. Technika se vyvíjí. Srarý typ protéz nohou za několik let nahradí lepší typ a za pár let jiný typ, nebo i jiná klinika. Starý pán zemřel 104 let. Bylo mnoho času na to aby zkoušel co dobře funguje. Hrad je krásné místo. Velká škoda že se o tak krásnou a historickou památku nikdo nestará. Velice mě zauja nápis na hodinách. Zvláštní myšlenka. Díky za virtuální prohlídku.
The round metal thing on the table, that you thought might be part of a clock, is actually a Sundial. I have one just like it. The sound is not so bad, I can understand it fine. 😊
Love that fireplace down stairs. I've seen drawings of early American settlers that had fireplaces large enough you could sit in them. Have a fire to one side and a bench on the other. Very nice place. I hope someone comes and rescues it since they have alarms on it now. Thank you for another wonderful tour.
I saw a herniated disc in that x-ray
Hello hello!!! 🤴❤🤴❤ That looks like a fairytale 😍 Love the castle from the outside and love its architecture!!! The tower is so lovely. And its location is really nice serrounded by all these green trees, the drone shots really help showing the beauty. There is indeed a lot of things to see inside of this place. But my favorite part of it is that living room, so medieval! Love the chandelier and the huuuge fireplace, i never saw one like that! So big and beautiful. That room was really cozy, the star of the show. Btw guys, i introduced your videos to my student to watch them during his break time, and now, he is addicted and enjoying them, and always asking to watch you both explore these houses together. I will let him watch this one soon, he's gonna enjoy it 😊 Thanks you two for another great adventure in amazing France. See you next time, bye ❤
You guys made me laugh when you found the legs! Keep up the great work.
16:00 „They“ were the family of an ambassador of Germany. So representing Germany was their job.
That wasn't a VHS cassette player, it was a music cassette player with stereo
Hello Maureno and Remon! Very interesting history of the owner of the Castle. Big propriety but it's strange the quantity of clothes and many leg prosthesis. Really incredible place 😊❤🤗👍.
I been your audience Est.5 years. I enjoyed every EP. that you put your heart into it. Keep do what you do.
مرحبا مورينو قصر جميل في غاية الروعه هذا تراث ويجب المحافظه عليه اتابعك من الأردن. شكراً لك على كل ما تقدمهُ لنا
Hey dear Maureno and Remon from fabulous Urbex team Explomo, thank you for sharing this very interesting tour through that abandoned château somewhere in France. Besides the very messed up rooms there were still some beautifully furnished rooms visible which had a total time capsule vibe. I especially loved seeing the living room and some of the bedrooms. - Your introduction to the video was again such a delight to listen to, - really beautifully formulated in wonderful English. Respect bro! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from cold and snowy Switzerland.
An excellent exploration, guys. I am intrigued that the castle passed several generational eras, and continues to stand. I hope someday this castle will be recovered from the moldy invasion. Anyways, a great historical discovery- keep it up.
Por que os governantes desse país não conservam uma coisa tão relíquia desse jeito devia ser preservado esse Castelo tudo judiado por que que país não preservou tudo isso né amigo😢😢😢😢🇧🇷
21: 41 here in the states boaters used these portable TVs for sports & Weather while enjoying their boat activities. Before smart phones these were really popular in the 80s & 90s.
I miss you Maureno. Excellent presentation❤
29:40 It’s a facsimile of Napoleon Bonaparte’s will! And it is in any case a very beautiful castle, pretty architecture, beautiful proportions, magnificent fireplaces and high wooden ceilings, magnificent woodwork and library 28:49 etc... the bad sound was not a problem!
This was very fascinating. It's a shame this beautiful mansion will fall to ruin😢
Hola chicos, me encantó este castillo francés, la toma desde el dron, genial !! Por pudimos ver el bosque que lo rodea, hermoso paisaje. Muchas gracias por compartir esta exploración, aunque tuvieron problemas con el audio, valió la pena exhibirlo y más aún con los subtítulos 😊 Cada una de las habitaciones guarda objetos muy interesantes, incluso el sótano me sorprendió por sus dimensiones y las prótesis que encontró Remon 😢 De todo lo que vi, mi favorita es la cama de la habitación femenina, el tapiz es bellísimo 😍 Pienso que la gran cantidad de prótesis, se debe a que la persona que las utilizó, las iba renovando, porque obviamente el uso diario las daña y además, el material de que están hechas madera y cuero seguramente las hacía incómodas y debía ajustarlas cada cierto tiempo, debe haber sido un sufrimiento. 😢 Muchas gracias nuevamente por el gran trabajo realizado. Un saludo muy cariñoso para ustedes y cuídense mucho. ❤🥰🙋♀️👏👍
Hey guys you do a wonderful job you show us some great places out there and I love it keep up the job
Thank you for another amazing video! It’s an amazing place. Amazing history!
Not a clock, a sundial!
Thank you for another great explore. What an amazing castle 🏰. Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤❤
Very interesting place with lots of history and some sadness as well. Thank you for your filming and exploring work!
Sea Captains are only supposed to lose ONE leg.
So jealous you guys get to experience these majestic places but so grateful you share it with us. Fabulous job boyz
Excelente documental como todos los que hacen me apasiona sus exploraciones en verdad les gusta su trabajo
Chocadaa aqui!!😮🇧🇷 Maureno e Remon vcs são incríveis!!❤ Como assim tanto tempo se passou e tudo ali no mesmo lugar??😮 Quanta História nesse castelo🏰😮 E as próteses...certamente os donos ou a criança perdeu as pernas👢😢
Rosenheim , a City in Germany, southern part
Thank you guys 😍 the letter from 1821 is a souvenir. Actually a lot stuffed like that.
thanks for another awesome video
Wonderful explore. So much history. I’m looking forward to doing some research on this!! Thank you!!!!
This is glorious. Thank you for your work.
It's called a sundial. Modern, but nice.
The sound wasn’t that bad, really. Thank you again for a great exploration!
Another amazing place you are doing an amazing job to make videos to remember old places.
Such a wonderful place. At 35:00 min, the word: Gegenwart=present, and on the medallion the word "Rosenheim", it's a town in the very south of Bavaria in Germany.
Ticked all the boxes ✅
Thanks!
Bilateral above the knee amputee, both legs and yes they have to be replaced frequently
Привет всем из Москвы! С наступающим вас Рождеством ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
Дякую, як завжди ...чудова подорож, у минуле.❤👍.
I enjoy your videos so much can wait for the next one❤
Ramon 🥰 Greetings guys,
The legs have to be replaced from time to time because of the fit.
Maureno & Remon thank you for another wonderful exploration! You guys do a fantastic job!
16:44 this is a Sun Dial. Place it facing the sun. In an outside clearing is best. As the sun rises & falls, the shadow of the dial ( the vertical insert in your hand ) reveals the correct time of day.🌞
Очень старинный и интересный замок. Много необычых вещей. Желательно , организовать здесь исторический музей.
Yous do a great job keep up the the great exploring 👍 thanks 😊😊
Very big place but got a lot of stuff it makes the place look very small, also I only see 3 bed room in this castle , I thought a place like this would have a lot of bedroom , it must be hard for a man lost both of his legs to go up and down though tiny staircase, it’s historical places indeed, thank you for sharing
Hi boys, greetings from Brasil ,hi Remon,Maureno how are you? beautiful castle intrigued by the many prosthetics,right? The wonderful rooms,l really liked today's video, congratulations boys,you are beasts .😘😘❤️❤️kisses from LucianaLu 🇧🇷REMON😘 Maureno ❤️
Love those two black leather chairs by fireplace! 10:33 and that fireplace is grand..sorry, brown chairs! 11:23
❤ Another great exploration. Thank you. I wonder how they got that big chest freezer, down the stairs and thru the small door of the basement room it was in, as well as all the other appliances. All that stuff down there was lots of trips up and down the steps. And lots of trips to bring it all put if that happens. I hope it is renovated someday.
What a stunning building ❤❤❤
Beautiful, so sad it is going to ruin
really good video
Thank you!
Hola maureno y remon, impresionante hallazgo de esas prótesis, tal vez debía renovarlas y no desechaba las anteriores. Me preguntó si había tantos hijos que ocurrió que nadie se hizo cargo del lugar, ya decadente y olvidado. Ahora solo testigo silencio de una vida pasada. Saludos a ambos
Baie dankie. Dit was n interressante video. Dankie vir jul moeite.
Спасибо большое за выпуск на русском..😊😊😊
Have you ever been in an abandoned house and the owners show up?
The painting of the lady with the strange black hat is called “La belle de Strassbourg” and it is at the Museé Rohan in that city.
The next race you was looking at look like they had fragmentation pieces in them I think somebody was in a war
merci bises de la Martinique babeth
On the picture it was no castle near, it is the "Holstentor" in Lübeck (Schleswig-Holstein, North-Germany).
Интересный человек, проживший долгую жизнь и оставивший столь значительный след, как 11 детей и этот замок. Хорошая была жизнь!
Wow so beautiful. I would live there
Esse castelo merece uma grande reforma e por para turismo ou colocar para vender enquanto estiver em pé
a family member may have been a Ambassador to Germany, that is what the long flag hanging states in the German language
great video 😊
Маурено и Ремон, спасибо вам за интересное видео, удачи вам, здоровья, привет из России 🇱🇺 Надежда 😊
Diabetics lose limbs from poor circulation. Limbs which get really, really bad from setting on ones butt for too many hours each day can become rot with gaingreen & must be removed. If the family suffers from a history of this outcome then multiple prosthetic legs throughout this home makes sense. However, it could also be, that in an attempt too ease his own personal loss of both his legs, he made several more pairs for each room too fill more comfortable with himself.
Belle exploration
very unique. Hoarded
It's a sun dial. It goes in the garden. It is a sun clock. The shadow tells the time.
I just don't understand why humans started building such huge places to live. Way larger than anyone needs and rich people still do that. Such a waste when they mansions are often abandoned and the money could have served a much more worthwhile purpose. Anyway love you videos.
thank you
Hello my dear! Will you please show me the carpets in places you guys are going.im from Iran but living in us love you guys documentary thank you so much 🙏💜
world war one there was lot of prothesis manufacturing..crazy war..1914-1918..so early one horrific war..
It is not another castle at the painting in the entrance hall: it seems to be a picture of the Lübecker Holstentor in northern Germany i guess.
32: 22 as the elderly grow older they tend to cling too photos of both past & present loved ones. Family is most important & and so the gentlman of the house likely slept in this bed & past away here. He was likely well loved & proud, yet humled by his own experiences & faith in God - per his humble bedding. Earlier evidence in this video suggests that the family had someone living here until 1990. And any remaining family is using this home for storage. The house currently under survailance makes since. Good fir them. I wish my own survailence worked that well.
It is an early paddle machine for the heat. It restart the heart.
The bed is not embroidered. That is a velvet brocade .
36:37 A la fin du 19è siècle / début du 20è siècle, on considérait que les vibromasseurs étaient idéaux pour soulager l'hystérie, les douleurs de poitrine, les maux de gorge ou les maladies respiratoires (comme l'asthme), et ils étaient donc vendus, assez souvent, comme des traitements médicaux. On trouve moult de vieilles pubs cocasses à ce sujet ! Vu que vous avez trouvé un appareil d'électrothérapie avant (qui date de la même période environ, et de la même logique : ça existe d'ailleurs toujours !), je pense que la dame à qui appartenait le vibro l'utilisait dans une optique de soin..... Du moins, probablement la plupart du temps. Au passage, ils étaient aussi vendus aux hommes en vantant leur mérite pour retarder la calvitie, alors peut-être que ça venait de la chambre ou de la salle de bain de Monsieur, plutôt que Madame...
Muy interesante tu comentario. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Chile.
I was scrolling the comments to see if anyone had already told them what it was. In America, the company Avon sold alot of those .I about dropped my phone while telling him "Oh, no! Put it down!" 😅😂
@@jennybaby2010 🤣Yes, we have the same instinct.... "please, stay away from this thing" ! The owner may have used it only for medical use.... but perhaps not only that, we don't know, so in doubt...
A la minute 38 on vois un tableau qui représente ´´ La Belle Strasbourgeoise ´ ´ dont l’original se trouve dans un Musée à Strasbourg .
Sad that all these places have been ransacked before you guy's get there. So much personality stolen. That letter should be in a museum.
26: 27 lots of German arritocrats were good wood crafters. Its a hobby for skilled craftsmen. Both making & improving prothectic limbs dates back to the German middle ages.
Genial 👍
It is a sundial, the round deal on the table.
Interestingly, the doorway into each room are over one foot thick, suggesting that the walls in all halways of this house are more than one foot thick. Secret Doors Anybody?🤔🕵♂️

OK guys, the first thing, the fake legs are from before ww1. Early ones were very uncomfortable and made blisters for who ever wore them. So as new tech Was developed the person would get new legs,.also they kept the old ones so they can reuse them when their legs became sore And brused. Do u edit your videos? If so I can help you with descriptions. So u don't seem so out of it. How can we talk?
Why,why, why do they let places like this just deteriorate? 😭🤪😭🤪
