 The Palace was constructed in the second-half of the 18th century by its first property-owner, D. Luis de Meneses, Master of Pancas and Ponte da Barca, holder of the title of Commander of Santos-o-Novo.By June 1815, the descendants of the Meneses family had put the property and gardens up for sale, which was unsuccessful, and it was eventually placed on sale again in 1816.By 1820, the building was once again for sale, this time by the Palha family, who were residents of the zone.
