High-Claire

High-Claire is a Lieu-dit commune of Razines, formed of a masonry and an old farm, built in 1352 by the lords of Charged, owners of a castle of the same name. It is located on the heights of the commune, vis-a-vis the Fief of Faye-the-Vinous, and with only 800 meters of the castle of Charged, which was formerly depend on the Abbaye Walnut trees. In the large court are the last ruins of very old pigeon certainly dating from the end of the Moyen-âge. The pigeon one was still in activity in 1980, and it was not rare to see there to 2.000 carrier pigeons. After a violent gust of wind only the foundations survived time.

High-Claire, at the time of Charged, was used as farm to supply in food the lords of the castle. An underground started from this last until in the court of High-Claire. It is broad approximately 5 meters and length of 800, sufficient to let pass an attachment of horses. This underground was used to take along the lord of Charged in safety in the event of catch with the castle, but was used especially as passage to the workmen who worked with the farm to supply the castle. Another underground starts from High-Claire and joined the old church of the village apart from the borough. The masonry of High-Claire was taken again thereafter by the Beausse family, an old family which one says that the ancestors were oilcans and millers. Here now more than 200 years that it is with the hands of this family, which set it up today in lodging of France.
