Gargamel's castle

Gargamel's castle (also called Gargamel's hovel or Gargamel's house) is the center location of Gargamel's activities. It is a rundown house made of stone and thatching where the evil wizard, his cat, and his apprentice Scruple reside, and where Gargamel develops his plans and formulas that he uses against the Smurfs. It is generally located on the outer edge of the Smurf Forest next to a murky muck pond which was used at one time as the dumping grounds for Gargamel's failed formulas.
