I Explored This Abandoned French Castle Before It Was Burned To The Ground
9Kviews
My name is Romain Thiery and I am a professional photographer specializing in abandoned pianos photography in Europe.
While searching for abandoned pianos, I was lucky enough to photograph a castle in France which has been abandoned for several years―Château de Le Quesnel.
This 18th-century castle of more than 700m2 was used by the Germans during the two World Wars and, despite major post-war restoration work, it remained uninhabited.
In 2018, a huge fire destroyed the entire building. Here you will find photos that I took before it burned down.

The staircase and library are beautiful! I would love to go ghost hunting through there at night!
How fascinating, more please!
you can see more in my website www.romainthiery.fr. Thank you Amanda
Very beautiful work, you are very talented.
Admit it, you looted this place clean, and that's why you burned it down ;-)
contact_303 Good response!
thank you very much Amanda
Why are there still furnishings? The description indicates it was used after major renovations then abandoned. I don't get why you'd leave anything behind.
I've seen so many of these and I don't get it either. Just look at those enormous carpets - what they must have cost, at some point! the problem is: You can't just take them, that'S theft. But noone really owns this - so it's left to rot. It drives me crazy.
