Graines is a typical example of primitive castle of Aosta Valley, consisting mainly of large irregularly shaped walls to fit the nature of the soil, which contained inside other buildings. Square tower, or "donjon", was the keep of Castle, originally crenellated and free of visible coverage. Romanesque chapel inside is dedicated to St. Martin.
