The Haut Marais castle was built in the style of Louis XV and is flanked by a tower comparable to a bulbous bell tower.
In the 17th century, the isolated muddy plateau created a feeling of insecurity among the population. It is in this context that the saying should be understood: "In Haut-Maret, the Macrâles dance" (*witches)
