Tips

In the 17th century, it was Simon de Marais, general administrator of the Prince-Bishop of Liège, who acquired 20 bonnies of land in this place and gave it his name.
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)

Louis XVth-style castle. A fortified farm was first built on the site in 1614. In 1920, a country house was built next to it. The De Maret family owned it for a long time. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it changed hands until it became the property of the Province of Liège. Today, it is a training institute for graduates in Agricultural Sciences.
