Exotic Collection Found Inside Abandoned Spanish Palace

Exotic Collection Found Inside Abandoned Spanish Palace

The arches, the columns… absolutely beautiful. This is breathtaking. We have a wonderful chapel over here. There’s even a stuffed dog over here! Now, look at this! No… those are even snakes! Spain’s fortified palaces don’t give easy access… so, the journey starts by climbing inside. Our exploration today starts in this grand hallway… which actually once was the
majestic entrance to this Spanish palace. Built centuries ago for a noble family, its walls have witnessed
generations of wealth, religion, and decline. Today, we begin peeling back the first
layers of its forgotten story. Enjoy this journey through a place
frozen between grandeur and decay and keep watching till the end since… we’re gonna find something very very very very cool! But… that’s a surprise for the end of this video because we first have this grand
hallway to explore. Look at the wonderful stone construction
of the walls, the stairs… It’s very beautiful and also very
traditional. This place is genuinely historic and it’s such a shame that
it’s now just in its state of neglect. We’ve got some antlers over here as well. It really reminds me of France, but we are
in Spain right now. And that becomes more obvious with the
beautiful Spanish tiles on the side over here. Well, look at this! It seems that it was some sort of oven
part, maybe fireplace part. We’ve got a beautiful Spanish chair over here. And still, the chimney over here. Let’s firstly just go over here. It’s a beautiful inner courtyard. And I really love it. One other interesting thing is that the inside of this cabinet
is decorated with wallpaper. Now, look at it. It’s beautiful how the nature is just
taking over. And then, we have this inner courtyard of
this palace. As you can see, it’s a massive building. We still have quite some rooms to go, but
unfortunately, most are emptied out. And that’s the place where the chimney is
leading to. All the way to the top tower. Yeah, no water coming from these faucets
anymore. All the moss here on the ground. Because this is one of the only places where
the sunlight falls through and the rain is falling on. The process of photosynthesis and eventually, roots and moss
will start their way and start to grow. So, we’re entering another part. There’s not that much interesting to see except for
this beautiful chair with its stuffings on the bottom. Typically Spanish. Woah! Look what a giant kitchen! You can imagine that one day this palace was inhabited by
a family that was at least, very wealthy. Probably also, noble class of that time. I am almost 100% determined that these people
had their own servants cooking for them. These servants would have been standing here,
preparing all the meals in this kitchen. Oh, look at this! This used to be an elevator for the food, so… I’m sure servants were preparing the meals right in here
on the platter or the plates. They would put it here, and then the elevator with the food
would go upstairs to the levels… where the noble family was
actually spending their time. Oh, looking at these stones over here… Yeah, this was their kind of wine cellar. Also, the storage of food and beverages
that needed to be stored cold. Maybe over here they even stored some
cheeses. This was definitely for the wine bottles. Well, over here, we still have
the remains of a former bathroom. And also, the remains of former bedrooms. Mattresses, sheets, pillows…
everything is taken out. And what I do think, actually, is that the part where I’m currently in,
was not only the servant’s kitchen… but also, the servant’s quarter. That might also explain why it’s separated from the other part
through that little inner courtyard. As those beds are very plain and simple. They have no elegance at all. This must’ve been the servant’s quarter
where the gardeners, the cooks… Everybody was sleeping here. Their servants, their waiters, yep. This probably used to be the toilet once. And then, indeed, separated from the parts where
the noble class was spending their time… We’re going back to that part right now. Oh! It’s a very unique shape, this fireplace,
as it’s very low. Normally, they are way higher and taller. Over there, we can still see some carvings
on this plate. Quite interesting details. You can tell the cracks and everything that are
starting to form and take shape in this stone fireplace. It looks like there used to be something
displayed over here. This is what they were displaying in the
other frame as well. All those birds. Some taxidermy. And there’s even more. Over here we’ve got a squirrel. They’re all very moldy though. These animals… This bird over here is entirely white of mold. From this one, you cannot even see its eyes anymore. Insane, there are so many. And stick around until the end of this video,
given that we’re going to find a lot more. We’ve got some artwork over here as well. Before I might be going too fast, please
notice the structure of this home. I’m actually walking in sort of a square because if I go to the left over there,
I’m back at the main entrance again. Just to give you a little orientation of…
how this palace is built and where I’m currently at. Dang, this looks repulsive. Before going back to the main entrance, where I started this video,
there’s another wing on the right side over here. Well, this we will save for later,
as that’s a big surprise. Those stairs are also going all the way up,
but we’ve got some other stairs following next. Some wicker chairs over here. You can tell there’s some presence of black mold. By the way, if people think:
“Wow, is this really carved in a wall?” It does look very realistic, but it is
wallpaper. That’s also one of the reasons why black
mold is starting to grow. Now, finally, look how dilapidated it is
over here in front of the main portal. This is the main door of the palace. A massive door. And this is where the people
once came in every day. So, we’re continuing this explore by
walking up this marvelous stone staircase. We can already see something of the
impressive architecture and vaulted ceilings. The arches, the columns are absolutely
beautiful. What I do miss, though, is that I find the paintings
and the colors so extremely dead. It does not have much charm.
It’s just white and gray. Very cold colors. Imagine if they would have painted the
vaulted ceilings as well. Because it will definitely make up for
this beautiful marble banister over here. Absolutely amazing. So, yeah, as I told you, we’ve got many
different ways to go. I just walked upstairs. Over here is that little inner courtyard
that we’ve just seen together. I’m now going to walk to
the right wing first. So, I’m just following this corridor over here. The ornate details and bows are
typical Spanish, by the way. The rooms in this part are mostly empty. I’m happy that for a difference the place
is mostly emptied out. Normally, I do not tend to film an empty place, but yeah…
just keep watching until the end of this video, guys! I’m going to build up the tension slowly and slowly, but… then, you will understand why I still wanted to make
a video on this historical property here in Spain… and make it a part of this new series. I think there used to be a sink in here. As you can see, “fría” is cold, “caliente” is hot. So, hot water, cold water. This was probably the doorbell for the kitchen,
so they could actually ring to their servants. There’s the elevator for the food
that I previously pointed that out. Now, I think that this was the main grand
room one day. The room that I’m currently going to enter. And right, look at this, oh! A room with so much grandeur… but you can
clearly tell the decay. It’s close to collapsing… Falling down. There are many other parts and debris
that are lying on the ground here. Left to waste. As there are probably no people to be
found that are willing to invest in it. Put money in this building, restore it. It will cost a lot of money
and that’s the reason why many people think: “Nah, let’s just leave it.” Now, this fireplace is absolutely majestic. I think this used to be the family coat of arms,
so you can tell… they were definitely noble people. And indeed, what stands abandoned today
was once home to noble bloodlines. The very first foundation stones of this
palace were laid back in the year 1639. But its current grandeur took shape
nearly two centuries later… when Antonio and María reshaped the estate
through reconstruction works in the early 1800s. For generations, their family ruled over these lands… until time, neglect and abandonment
owly erased their presence. It’s interesting to see that these rooms are painted
and not covered with wallpaper… as you can clearly see all this paint just
crumbling apart. My gosh. The planks of the floor are just
loose in here. The building is in such a bad state. And then I’m back, as you can see. This beautiful part with the arcs. Now, let’s show you the rest. So, before going there,
which is going to be an absolute surprise… I firstly want to
show you this room over here. Wallpaper again. Over there we can just see the downstairs
floor through this aperture. Whoa! Look at this! Underneath the foil, we still have some
beautiful sofas. And luckily, the foil is laying on them to protect them from the
dust and debris that has fallen down in some parts. I just quickly want to show it to you, but…
really precious pieces. Absolutely beautiful antique furniture. I also really love the pattern of the
wallpaper in this part. That’s quite a narrow passage here. Oh, this used to be a walk-in wardrobe
from the woman. Then, probably, here’s the bathroom. Yeah, look at this! Wow! Over here’s the sink with the mirror where she would do
all her grooming in the morning. I think this was definitely a bathroom
used by a woman, a lady. Amazing.
Also, the white curtains over there. You can see the humidity over here as well. Definitely, some clear signs of leakage
coming from the ceiling and the roof above. And then, we’re going to that surprise. The private chapel. Just connected through a bridge to this
mansion. We have a wonderful chapel over here where
people would pray every day. The entire family was Roman Catholic. Just look at it. Wow! The integrity of religion that is always
still present in Europe. But yeah, that’s all just… left forgotten. A piece of rich history. Now, lastly, let’s go upstairs. And that’s actually one of the final floors. But in the end, if you think you’ve seen it all… there’s one other surprise which is following after. Oh, old newspapers dating from 1954. I’m wondering for how many years this
palace has already been vacant now. Look at this unique mirror over here! With the beautiful wooden carvings, wow! I already checked all of those,
but they are empty. Still got some paintwork over here. Still, one chair is standing there. Very lonely. We’re getting higher and higher. Here’s the inner courtyard again. Here’s the roof. Oh, beautiful plate over here. And written on it: “Casa Martin” It’s all just falling apart, crumbling
away to pieces, fading to dust. It’s a crying shame, but unfortunately,
this is the reality of this modern world. There are little people that are
still willing to… maintain and preserve history. And eventually, if there are no normal citizens
or people willing to pay money for it… This is the final end result. Over here, on the side part, I’m going to
enter the “galería” of this palace. That’s how they call this room in Spanish. The “galería” is sort of an outbuilding, like a porch,
mostly on the second or the third floor of a building. It looks like this “galería” was once
also a bedroom. We’ve still got the wooden bed structure
standing here. Now, I cannot take this route to that door
as it’s very dangerous. I tried it once before filming, but nah,
there is an easier way. And I’m going to grab that route. Now, for the easier way, I’m actually
back at this point… where we had the staircase,
remember? And right now, I’m going to walk up these stairs. You’re also promptly going to find out what
the big surprise is I was talking about. A tiny bathroom over here. Wow. As you can see now at the other part, that
was too risky to go through and pass. As you can see I’m now at the other part…
that was too risky to go through and pass. It’s cool that there are still some seats
over here. Some animal paws as hunting trophies
on the walls. and the multifold use of
wallpaper again. And then, finally, I hope you’re
ready for it, guys. The huge surprise is about to follow
right now. We’re going to walk up the staircase to
the final floor of this mansion… in the top of the tower. As you can see, we’re above the other big
part right now because there’s the roof. We’re really going high up in the tower
right now. And if I pass this door,
you’re going to see it. There we go! This will remind you of any Harry Potter movie
you’ve watched… if I turn around
right now. Oh…! This is breathtaking! Look at it. Absolutely breathtaking. They’ve got many different bird species. Most of them are also still labeled. My gosh, what a place. And look at this. What kind of animal even is this?! What the heck! Guys, there’s even a stuffed dog
over here! That’s really odd. No…!
Those are even snakes! There are even snakes inside. What the heck! Over here you can see the head of the snake. This is so gloomy. A little bit strange. There are also ducks. Chicken… As you can see, they are all labeled with
their specific name. This was probably definitely the main
interest of this man… studying different animal species. In particular, bird species. It was probably also his job. It’s so insane that it’s all just still
left here. Now, in these shelves, there’s also way
more stuff of theirs. I want to do this carefully. Look at it! We’ve got stones, we’ve got fossils. Absolutely incredible. So many things. So old. Ancient artifacts are some of them, for sure. Look at this. Those are not stones, but those are all
like seeds and plants. With all their specific names and species. Wow! Over here are some rocks again and
fossils. It’s entirely full of it. This is a real treasure. Oh my gosh! Now, furthermore… What else can we find? Oh, look at this! You know what this is, guys? This used to be the bird whistle where they were
whistling with to lure the birds… and eventually, shoot them and catch them. Oh, that’s so cool! It’s all just still here. Over here is “1831” written.
Carved in this wood over here. Here’s still the old case of a guitar. The guitar itself is not present anymore. I don’t know what this exactly is. Oh, look at that! It looks like a peacock, right? But it’s so decayed and you can see the
old stuffing of this animal as well. Wow! Over here, there’s even more a shell
collection and everything. Those tiny pockets and boxes. It could’ve been an old photo of one of
the family members. Maybe they were also beekeepers or this was used for
kind of a sword-fighting game. As they were also two hanging right up
there on the wall. Finally, I want to see this bottle. Let’s see… It’s from the capital of Spain, from
Madrid. From a monastery where this potion was made. “Opiata dentrifica”. So, I think this was a painkiller for
dental problems. That’s what I expect. When it comes down to the future of this
estate, its fate remains uncertain. In recent years, part of the property
have been listed for sale… standing vulnerable to neglect,
vandalism, and time itself. While the chapel received limited restoration funding
due to its cultural heritage status… the remainder of the
estate continues to crumble. No longer a home for nobility. No longer maintained by those who once
ruled these lands. The only thing now preserving its memory
are these silent walls… and the few who dare to wander
through its forgotten corridors. Next week on Abandoned Spain Season 2… we step inside a once-glorious noble mansion. Forgotten treasures, childhood memories,
and heartbreaking decay… is all waiting for you
in a new episode next week.

Hidden deep within rural Spain stands a palace nearly 400 years old — now forgotten and fading away. Its earliest stones were laid in 1639, and over time, it became home to generations of nobility.

Though partially reconstructed in the early 1800s, this estate has long since fallen into decay.

Yet within its crumbling walls, a bizarre discovery awaits…

Inside, we uncover:
🏛️ A grand marble staircase
🪞 Rooms still filled with antique furniture
🕊️ A private chapel connected by bridge
🦉 And finally… an attic holding one of the most bizarre natural history collections we’ve ever encountered

A forgotten palace. A decaying legacy.
And a story that deserved to be told — before it’s lost forever.
