The estate has been owned by the family D'Eça since 1520. It was given to D. Maria da Silva and D. Pedro D'Eça as a wedding present in 1520 by D.

As there were no direct heirs, the property passed to another family branch, the Corte-Real family, then to the Saldanha family, and then to the Melo family, Lords of Murca.
