Saint-Germain Castle (or Montjovet Castle), of uncertain origins, marked the history of the Aosta Valley, passing from the Savoy to the Challant family, before finally returning to the Savoy in 1438. Used as a military garrison by Amadeus VIII, it was abandoned in 1661 when the garrison was transferred to the Bard Fort. Completing the site is the Church of Saint-Germain: a small Romanesque building that, through frescoes and architectural details, preserves the spiritual memory of the local community.

Origins and reconstruction The first evidence of the church dates back to the 12th century, with a mention in a papal bull of Alexander III in 1176. The original building, from the Gothic era, was oriented on the east-west axis and had an apse structure facing east. Over the centuries, the church underwent several modifications, until a complete reconstruction between 1870 and 1873, designed by the architect Giuseppe Lancia. During the restoration work in 2010, the foundations and perimeter walls of the ancient church emerged, visible today through a glass window in the crypt. Architecture and decorations The facade of the church is distinguished by a large central portico with a pointed arch, surmounted by a triangular tympanum. Above the main portal, a large fresco depicts San Maurizio dressed as an Egyptian general. The two lateral sections of the facade house niches with statues of saints. Inside, the single nave is decorated by the Artari brothers of Verrès, well-known local artists. The church preserves four wooden altars from the 18th century, coming from the ancient structure, and a reliquary from the 15th century. Particularly significant is the statue of the Pietà, in carved and painted wood, dating back to the 16th century. The pulpit, carved in panels, dates back to the first half of the 19th century. The high altar and the organ The high altar houses an altarpiece dedicated to San Maurizio, made in 1931 by the painter Carlo Morgari, known for his works in numerous churches in the Aosta Valley. The wooden choir is a 19th-century work by Reirosa d'Ivrea, while the organ, built in 1896 by the Vegezzi-Bossi company of Turin, is composed of about 1000 pipes and is used during concerts and celebrations. The view from the churchyard Looking out from the churchyard, the view opens onto a wide and suggestive panorama. Brusson stretches gently into the valley below, framed by the larch and fir woods that cover the slopes. In the distance, the peaks of the Val d’Ayas dominate the horizon, often snow-capped even in spring.
