Origin and history

The Château de la Reine Margot is a building located in the commune of Verdun-sur-Garonne, in the Occitanie region. Although its name evokes a famous royal figure, the available sources do not specify its exact period of construction or its detailed history. This monument remains a local architectural landmark, combined with broader historical narratives.

In southwestern France, castles of that time often served as seigneurial residences or strategic points for controlling territories. Verdun-sur-Garonne, located near the Garonne, was a place of passage and exchange, where the fortified buildings played a role in the social and economic organization of the region.
