I am always sad when I see a building left to rot. Couldn't it be given to someone in need of housing? Better than rotting.

    practically every city, town and small town has a castle in France ( more than forty thousand castles and manors). people volunteer to restore them but there are so many of them and it costs a lot of money and time. then there are other buildings like old churches, abbeys, cathedrals etc...( there are 154 cathedrals). this is the one from where I live (population 1000). 943669_653...816e7c.jpg 943669_653770604635191_538785355_n-5b7e725816e7c.jpg
