Ghostly remains of abandoned roller coaster at Chippewa Lake Park

Hidden on a lakeshore in Medina County is one of the state's most unique forgotten treasures: the abandoned amusement park called Chippewa Lake. What you'll find there today is the tragic shell of a once-glorious family fun park, one with a history going back to the 1840s. The crying shame is that it's been reduced to an inadequately-fenced-off stretch of acres, overgrown with every imaginable form of vegetation native to this state and festooned with faded NO TRESPASSING signs. Don't let those signs throw you, though; getting past the fences and into this astonishing ruin is about as easy as following a path through some sparse woods. And the people who live along here don't seem to mind much, as long as you're not there to vandalize. They've had a few fires set by the malicious or careless in recent years, and they try to keep an eye on the park, but they must know the futility of guarding it from sightseers. After all, it is quite a unique place to live. How many neighborhoods can there possibly be with an abandoned roller coaster in the backyard?

Le Plessis-Bourré castle
dda (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: dda.
No doubt made wealthy by his important position as treasurer and chief advisor to King Louis XI, Jean Bourré acquired the estate of Plessis-le Vent in 1462.
In 1468, he started building the current chateau on the site of this ancient manor. It only took five years for the building of this masterpiece to be complete. It has never been altered since that time, so that we can still admire it as it was originally built, more than 500 years ago!
Le Plessis-Bourré is the perfect example of the Transition style. Its imposing defensive system, including its impressive double draw-bridges , its very wide moats, its wall-walk, its corner-towers and its keep, classify it as a stronghold dating from the end of the Middle Ages.
However, its elegance, its majestic courtyard, its covered promenade, its large rooms lit by high mullioned windows, its sumptuous decoration and the comfort of its interiors enjoyed by many French kings, all these features speak of the Renaissance.
The chateau's existence has been threatened several times during the centuries.
Ownership changed several times until Monsieur Vaïsse, the grandfather of the current owners, took possession in 1911. He was a great art lover and brought the chateau back to life, restoring it in the image of the original and furnishing it with taste. This is the reason why it was chosen for classification as a historic monument in 1931.
Requisitioned during the First World War, it served as a hospital for treating the injured and sick.
During the Second World War, it was used to house the American Embassy to Poland and suffered no damage.
When Monsieur Vaïsse died, his nephew, the Duke of Dalmatia, succeeded him and opened the chateau to the public in 1955. Today, his descendants, the Reille-Soult de Dalmatie family, represented by the family of Antoinette and Bruno de Ferrières de Sauvebeuf, who live in the chateau throughout the year, have taken over responsibility for preserving its authentic and family character.
