17E JOURNEES DES PLANTES AU CHATEAU DE BONREPOS RIQUETSat, Nov 7 · château de Bonrepos25 km

Château de Magrin stands in Magrin (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century (?)). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Magrin stands on a hilltop in the Tarn overlooking the Agout valley, combining medieval remains with a Renaissance residence. Its history is tied to woad cultivation, the dye plant that brought wealth to the so called land of Cocagne, and the estate still holds a mill and a drying house among the best preserved of their kind in the Toulouse region. Visitors can see a medieval tower, a Renaissance facade decorated with half columns, and a garden where woad and indigo are still grown.
