An earlier château on this site was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1793. The present building was constructed in 1845 under the patronage of Princess Adelaide of Orleans.

The interior rooms display protected wooden wall panels and ornately decorated fireplaces that speak to aristocratic taste. Paintings by Durand-Brager depicting historical naval scenes adorn the walls and add historical depth to the spaces.
