Château de Cuirieu stands in La Tour-du-Pin (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Cuirieu stands in Saint-Jean-de-Soudain, on the edge of Sainte-Blandine and La Tour-du-Pin, in the Isère department. Built in the early 17th century on the site of a former hunting lodge, it retains its mullioned windows, two wings set at a right angle and three round towers. What visitors mainly see are its grounds: a terrace known as the cedar terrace overlooking a French formal garden, and a nine-hectare park, with the outbuildings closing off the courtyard between two towers.
