    • How did you end up "taking this over" Did the Nobility sell it to you for a lump cash sum? Or did you inherit it ? Or are there 'French Squatters' Rights" ?

  • I found this renovation very interesting and I sincerely appreciate the English narration so I could focus on seeing the castle instead of trying to read subtitles while attempting to look at the images. The documentary had a great balance between showing the owner talking about the castle and images of the structure and its' decor. Well done!

    • Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Whete are the people who helped him? What was done is magnificent but I would like to know the background, how did he do it? Otherwise is seems so unrealistic. 😮😮😮

  • I truly enjoyed this, an old friend of mine restored a tower castle in Todi in Umbria. There is something glorious about living in an old building. I lived in a very simple moorland cottage built in 1475, and I can still feel the presence of the house. It was almost impossible to be unhappy there.

Young people that are allowed to form their lives after their own heads are few. Most of us are trapped by our family members for one reason or another. Even if you sort of " returned to the past " even before you where born , people had this lifestyle , but you managed to modernise this lifestyle , I salut you.
