Château de Pailhès, Historical monument in Pailhès, France.

The Château de Pailhès stands on an elevated position above the village, between the towns of Maz-d'Azil and Pamiers in southern France.

The construction of Château de Pailhès began in the 12th century and continued through the 17th century, receiving historical monument status in 1997.

The castle guard room contains 16th-century graffiti, and one chamber is said to have housed the future King Henry IV of France.

The castle remains privately owned by the La Fage de Pailhès family since 1762, featuring an orangery and a chapel in its southern section.

The medieval foundation includes a 14th-century turret with a wooden staircase, reflecting various construction periods from the 12th to 18th centuries.
