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)

Jean Giel, son-in-law of Simon de Maret (General Administrator of the Principality of Liège), once lived in the castle.
In earlier times, when superstition was still commonplace, the isolated muddy plateau created a feeling of insecurity among the population. This gave rise to a popular saying: "In Haut-Marais, the Macrâles (*witches) dance"
