The château de Muges stands at Damazan, in the Lot-et-Garonne department, along the road linking Aiguillon to Damazan. Built in the second half of the 18th century for a Bordeaux shipowner, it has a U-shaped main building flanked by two pavilions with curb roofs, designed by architect André Mollié, who also worked on the château d'Aiguillon. Inside, original features remain, including wood panelling, fireplaces and a grand staircase with a wrought-iron railing. The park in front of the north facade still holds a kitchen garden, an orangery and traces of an old water system.
