Château de Cirey, Heritage castle in Cirey-sur-Blaise, France.
The main building of Château de Cirey features a pavilion tower and southwestern outer bailey, surrounded by an English landscape garden with a canal.
Voltaire lived at Château de Cirey from 1734 to 1749 upon invitation from Émilie du Châtelet, transforming the residence into a center of intellectual discourse.
The château presents an 18th-century gallery wing with a portal designed under Voltaire's direction, incorporating motifs of science and philosophy throughout its architecture.

The château houses one of France's earliest private theaters, established by Voltaire in 1735 on the top floor of the building.
