Château de Magrin, Medieval castle with pastel museum in Magrin, France
The stone fortress stands at 330 meters altitude, featuring a central building with four levels and a distinctive pastel drying tower.
The castle provided shelter to Henry of Navarre in 1585, before he became King Henry IV of France during the religious wars.
The museum displays the complete process of extracting blue dye from woad plants, which colored textiles throughout Europe in the 16th century.
Guided tours include access to the pastel drying house, museum exhibits, and film projections about the castle's connection to woad production.
The castle houses France's only pastel museum, containing an authentic drying house and a restored woad mill from the region.
