Originally dating from the Renaissance. In 1818, Horace Sebastiani de la Porta, Earl of the Empire, Ambassador of France in Constantinople, Minister of the Navy and Foreign Affairs under the Monarchy of July, deputy of Corsica then Marshal of France, acquires the property and instigated the build.

Sebastiani commissioned the Milanese architect Visconti, famous for his Parisian works of the Bourse, Champs-Elysées, Louvre, Invalides among others, then created a staircase inspired by the castle of Chambord.

Jean Casale, hero of the French aviation, was born there (died in 1923).

In 2003 the property was purchased by Louise Pieche, heiress of the Porsche fortune, as her summer residence.

It is registered as a Classified Historic Monument.
