The town hall annex wash house with a beautiful basin (19th century) are very worthwhile. Dampière has existed for a long time, as is evident from the presence of the Merovingian cemetery and the ruins of a feudal castle. In addition to the 16th century houses and towers, you can also admire the house of the owner of the blast furnaces.

In 1219, the lord granted the right to grind his mill to the monks of Aumonières. The village was burned down and pillaged in 1569. In the autumn of 1998 (from 15 to 20 October), the small, peaceful town made headlines and attracted media from all over the world because of supposedly inexplicable phenomena (flying candles and goblets, moving images, exploding light bulbs, etc.) that occurred in the village church for about ten days. After investigation, it turned out that the culprit was none other than the mayor of the village.
