Circondato da un incantevole paesaggio, il castello di Graines si trova su un promontorio ben difendibile che domina Brusson e parte della Val d'Ayas. L'edificio, raro esempio in Europa di sito fortificato al di sopra di 1300 metri, conserva l'impianto originale dell' XI secolo. Di notevole interesse la cinta muraria, la chiesa dedicata a San Martino. Il castello di Graines era di proprietà degli abati di Saint-Maurice d'Augaune, nel vallese, che nel XIII secolo lo diedero in feudo ai Challant, con le terre di Brusson ed Ayas.
