Inside the Abandoned Notre Dame Zoo and Mansion, Mulgoa, Sydney, NSW Australia

Emmanuel Margolin’s Notre Dame Zoo and French Chateau worth $27 million, was once coined “The Best House in the World” by the TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, is now a relic of its former self. Spread over 45 hectares deep in the mountains of Mulgoa, Sydney, the Margolin residence and abandoned Notre Dame zoo used to house endangered species such as panthers, pumas and jaguars. Nine species of monkeys, Spanish Andalusian stallions worth $1 million, and other exotic animals and flora/fauna also thrived in the 80s and 90s. The animal cages, stables, gift shops, and café are still intact, although overcome by sprawling nature. Near to the cages sits the chateau that the owner, Emmanuel Margolin lived in with his family and once filled it with antiques such as a mirror owned by Mary Queen of Scots and a Mazarin desk owned by Louis XIII. During an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald in 1995, Emmanuel told reporter Daphne Guinness that he had 20 clocks to wind up each day; his most prized one is one that was given to Napolean when he captured the sphinx in Egypt. Emmanuel owned numerous other riches, including “Playel”, the oldest French piano in existence that had once been placed by Chopin, a Baccarat chandelier worth $60,000 and matching gold Rolls Royce cars for him and his wife. His private zoo and garden grounds included stables, croquet lawns, Shinto shrines, a rainforest, and an Olympic-sized horse show arena. Six zookeepers, four gardeners, a mechanic, a foreman, a carpenter, and 71 Blackamoor spear-laden guards looked after the property.
