French "fairytale" Chateau with 25.000 owners prepares to celebrate Christmas
Willy Nanlohij and his wife Hilda, two of the 25.000 co-owners of the Chateau de La Mothe Chandeniers , pose in their home in Enschede, Netherlands, before leaving to France for their chateau's Christmas party, December 2, 2019. The chateau, a romantic ruin from the 13th century originally, standing on an island, has become a beloved place for its 25 000 co-owners, seduced by the elegant building ravaged by fire in 1932 and left to nature ever since, giving them the feeling of being a true "French chatelain".
