These Locations Were Abandoned Years Ago. Look At Them Today

Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers – France

This castle is surrounded by a huge moat, making traveling to it rather difficult! Originally called Motte Baussay, it was built in the 13th century and taken twice by the English. Sadly, it was devastated during the French Revolution.

Wealthy businessmen bought the Château in 1809, but it has been largely abandoned ever since 1932 when investors gave up on its restoration. Today it sits on its own little island, separated from the rest of the world.
