Il castello di Saint-Germain o tour Saint-Germain (in francese château de Saint-Germain) è un castello medievale che si trova nella frazione omonima del comune di Montjovet, in Valle d'Aosta. Situato a 656 m s.l.m., a picco sulla gola scavata dalla Dora Baltea, su uno sperone roccioso anfibolitico che in epoca romana venne definito Mons Jovis oggi costeggiato dalla Mongiovetta, tratto della Strada statale 26 della Valle d'Aosta scavato nella roccia, il castello di Saint-Germain è tra i castelli della regione più strategici, insieme al forte di Bard e al Châtel-Argent: la sua posizione permetteva facilmente di controllare e difendere il borgo posto ai piedi del mammellone roccioso e la vallata centrale della Valle d'Aosta. Situato a metà strada tra i comuni di Verrès e Saint-Vincent, in collegamento visivo con la Tour Chenal, il castello di Saint-Germain è raggiungibile solo dal lato nord del promontorio di Montjovet. Oggi è in rovina, e un cancello impedisce l'accesso all'area per pericolo di crolli. Il castello svolse un ruolo importante nella storia della Valle d'Aosta. Del suo aspetto originario rimangono poche tracce e non si conosce con certezza la data di costruzione. Intorno alla fine del XIII secolo i Savoia ne divennero proprietari, sostituendosi alla famiglia Montjovet. Come già era avvenuto per Bard, anche in questo caso il pretesto era fornito dai soprusi che Feidino di Montjovet operava nei confronti dei valligiani e dei viandanti. Ceduto successivamente alla famiglia Challant, ritornò nei domini sabaudi nel 1438, quando Amedeo VII vi installò una guarnigione che rimase attiva fino al 1661, quando fu trasferita al forte di Bard, lasciando il castello di Montjovet preda del degrado. Sullo sfondo il Monte Zerbion.
