Default Its a bad year for this wild chestnut

This is what we call the "Wild Chestnut" aka "Aesculus hippocastanum" or
the "Horsechestnut"

It's a so called inedible Chestnut but deers are fond of the fruit and
so it is collected and fed to the deers in winters when they have not much to
eat.

This one is over 100 years old, the leaves look diseased this year but
could be very healthy next year, this changes depending on weather
conditions i think.
Anyway, there was not much fruit on this one but a smaller one nearby was full of Fruit.
