From the narrow streets of the old town, you can admire three castles, now privately owned and heavily modified:

the 15th-century Château de la Barge (or Tour Boyer), a massive fortified house with high walls;
the Château de la Tour Fondue, which originally gave its owner significant rights over the town of Saint-Amant, allowing him to claim it as Seigneur. This château was the home of Victor Charreton*, a painter of the Murol school;
Château de Murol en Saint-Amant, a 13th-century building (heavily altered in the neo-medieval style in the 19th century), situated below the village, near the Monne river. This imposing building is a reminder that its owners, the de Murol family, once exercised a strong hold over the entire town. The “Murol fortress” (the castle’s former name) was one of Guillaume de Murol’s 3 estates in the region. Alongside the château, you’ll find the Monne bridge, where the river flows, a lovely spot for a stroll.
