Graines Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Brusson, Italy.
The castle stretches across a rocky spur with defensive walls spanning 80 by 50 meters, containing a square tower and Saint Martin chapel.
King Sigismund of Burgundy granted the fief to Saint Maurice Abbey in 515, and the monks constructed the castle during the eleventh century.
The Romanesque chapel displays sections of fishbone design facework and contains an eight-meter-long nave ending in a semicircular apse.
Visitors can access the castle by taking the regional road from Verrès to Ayas and turning right after Arcesaz hamlet in Brusson.
The castle used flag and mirror signals to communicate with Bonot Tower and Villa Castle in Challand-Saint-Victor during medieval times.
