Swiss architect Bruno Giacometti designed in 1959 this customs station at the Italian border in Castasegna. With its thin wooden walls clad with red aluminium, it definitely stands out from other works by Bruno Giacometti. After the main road and the customs had been moved slightly outside the village, the customs stations was renovated and transformed into a bus station ! In 2019, the Grisons Heritage Society included it in the list "52 best buildings - Grisons culture of construction 1950 - 2000"
