We Found a Secret Room in This 13th-Century Abandoned Castle

Over the rolling hills of the French countryside, we discovered a masterpiece that has been forgotten in plain sight: a castle founded in the 13th century on the foundations of a derelict Romanesque church. Throughout its turbulent history, the building served many purposes, from being the residence of high-ranking officials to being the headquarters of the Catholic Military Order. Due to its design, it acted as the perfect defense against outside attackers, but unfortunately, this proved not to be enough and the castle was conquered and destroyed in the 16th century and stayed as a ruin until the 18th, this was when the Sarraile family took over the place. The Sarriale family was no ordinary family. They were immensely wealthy and influential, controlling vast tracts of land and wielding significant power in regional politics. This was their family's home for almost 300 years! In 2005, Jean Louise, the last descendant of the Sarriale family, sadly passed away and left the castle to his wife. She found the place rather large for her to live in alone, so she sold it and moved into a smaller dwelling. After her departure, the castle remained frozen in time, giving us a rare glimpse into the lives of a historic family and the opportunity to document their forgotten history. _________ SOCIALS: TikTok ►   / brosofdecay   Instagram ►   / brosofdecay   Facebook ►   / brothersofdecay   ---------------------------------- Support us: Patreon ►   / brosofdecay   Paypal ► https://paypal.me/lesleyhouben Insane Abandoned 1300s Fairy Tail Castle - Tragic disappearance! #abandoned #explore #exploring
