Dating from the end of the 16th century, the castle of Haut Eclair was built, according to certain hypotheses, on the site of an ancient medieval building.
During the Revolution, Haut Eclair was the scene of Chouannerie actions carried out by the girls of Sallet who were considered «heroines and amazones of the old Chouannerie».
At the end of the 19th century, the castle was sold to Georges Delante, mayor of the municipality, who offered the possibility of buying it back at an advantageous price in order to install the public school for girls, which was later transformed into a nursery school.
In 2004, following the transfer of the school, the Community of Communes took over the responsibility for managing the site. Work is then undertaken to rehabilitate the site. The first phase of the work was completed in 2009, allowing the castle to once again welcome many people and regain the splendour of the old parties during sumptuous receptions.
Recently, the last phase of work has made it possible to restore the dovecote. Circular, it houses 2 levels. It bears the inscription 1611 on the door. The first level served as a guard room. Pierced with murderers, it was a place of surveillance and refuge. Upstairs, you can see 800 boulins,
