Beau-sejour Palace, PortugalBuilt in 1849, the Beau-sejour Palace in Lisbon, Portugal was once home to António Guimarães, the Baron of Glória. He bought then remodeled it, adorning it with stunning azujelos tiles and Surrounding the structure was a beautiful French formal garden.After the Baron’s death, the palace was passed down to his nephew and niece. It thrived from various artistic additions and investments given by several heirs of the late barons. But by the 1930s, the palace had begun a steady decline. Many of the items inside were sold off in auctions and It soon came under the ownership of the Marist Brothers who transformed it into a college. By the 80s, the palace was bought by the municipal council of Lisbon. 4. Chateau Miranda, BelgiumOn the hills of Celles, inside the province of Namur, Belgium sits an old, abandoned Chateau that’s been shrouded in mystery for a long time. It was originally built in 1866 for the Liedekerke-De Beaufort Family. They lived there until World War II with a portion of the Battle of the Bulge taking place on the property. By the 50s, it was dubbed as Chateau de Noisy because it was used as an orphanage and holiday camp for sickly children. 3. Tower of London, EnglandThe Tower of London in England is one of the most visited tourist spots in the country. But for many Londoners, the Tower, as it’s affectionately called, inspires both awe and fear. Created in the 1070s, the Tower was built by William the Conqueror, as a sign of power over the defeated Londoners. Nothing of its kind had ever existed before and it took more than 20 years for the structure to be finished. Over the years, various leaders added to the structure, including the defensive curtain wall as well as additional towers. 2. Leap Castle, IrelandLocated in Coolderry, Ireland, the Leap Castle is known in the country as home to severel murders and bloody rampages. It’s unclear when exactly it was built. Some believe it was created in the 12th Century, others say it was until the 15th Century that it was built. Whatever the case, It’s very old and it was constructed over the the top of Druid ruins.The name Leap Castle can be traced back to the O’Bannons – an affluent clan hailing from the County Tipperary. Legend has it that even before the castle was built, two O’Bannon brothers challenged each other to leap from a rock where the castle was to be built. 1. Moosham Castle, AustriaFound near Salzburg, Austria, Moosham Castle was first registered in a deed in 1191. It was built by the Prince Bishops of Salzburg and served as home to them for decades.Moosham gained its haunted reputation thanks to its violent past. It was the site of more than 100 witch killings. For a time, mass hysteria crept in the United States and all over Europe. People thought witches lived amongst them which led them to convict and kill countless people under the belief that they could cast spells.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
