Directly west of the church there are still remains of old fortifications, with beautiful views towards the lake and the town.

Murten Castle dates back to the time of Count Peter II of Savoy (1255). Under the portal from 1516, which was rebuilt several times and in its current form dates from 1755, there was a cistern that is now only marked in the paving. The large, square tower, the so-called keep or "Luegisland", was used by Adrian von Bubenberg to monitor the events during the battle. While the castle was previously the residence of the mayors or was used as a hospital, barracks and prison, it is now the seat of the senior office of the Fribourg lake district. The Murten Classics take place in the castle courtyard every August and September. (https://fribourg.ch/de/regionmurtensee/architektur-und-denkmaeler/schloss-murten/)

Cressier Castle or Manor of Reynolds. Cressier was once a small lordship that extended over the territory of the current municipality of the same name for about 8 km to the south-east of Murten. The family of the Lords of Cressier, confirmed in the 12th century, came to an end in the 14th century. After a marriage, the lordship became the property of the Bubenbergs of Bern, who had to cede it to Lombard bankers established in Murten by the name of Asinari. In 1403, the indebted family had to sell their property. Source and more: http://www.swisscastles.ch/Fribourg/cressierd.html
