The castle of Saint Amand en Puisaye is one of the most important Renaissance castles in the Nivernais. It was rebuilt around 1530 by Antoine de Rochechouart, son of a chamberlain of King Francis the first, on the site of a feudal fortress probably destroyed by the Duke of Burgundy when he, in 1402, invaded Auxerre.

The castle now houses a museum dedicated to the pottery business, which made the reputation of the region.
