Housed in the "St Sebastian Tower" that was built in 1897 on the orders of Jorge O'Neill of Irish descent, the museum makes a part of the Summer Retreat architecture with its pronounced 19th-century revivalism. In 1910 the building was bought by the Count of Castro Guimaraes who bequeathed it to the Cascais Municipality for a "Municipal Museum and Public Library", thrown open to the public in 1931.
