Voltaire's Coppet Castle
Correction

Château de Coppet was not Voltaire’s castle. Official château history says Jacques Necker bought it in 1784, and it has remained in Necker’s family since then.

Full reasoning

The article correctly links Duplessis’s portrait of Jacques Necker to Château de Coppet, but it misidentifies the château as Voltaire’s.

Official pages for Château de Coppet state that:

  • the château was acquired in 1784 by Jacques Necker as a summer residence;
  • Necker restored it and spent his final years there;
  • it has remained in the same family since Necker, and is described as being owned for more than two centuries by the descendants of Jacques Necker and Madame de Staël.

That directly contradicts calling Coppet Castle “Voltaire’s.” Voltaire is associated with Ferney, not ownership of Château de Coppet.
