The design for this building dates from 1792, but its owner was unable to carry out the works. In 1803 it was put up for sale and attracted the interest of Infantes Carlos María Isidro and Francisco de Paula, sons of Charles IV.
The renovation and expansion between 1803 and 1808 are attributed to the architect Juan de Villanueva. Following the War of Independence, there was a period of neglect until the end of the 19th century, when it became municipal property.
In 1909 it was acquired by the lawyer José Peláez Urquina and would become known as «Casa de Peláez».
In 1984 it was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument. Subsequently, the Euroforum/Escorial Society acquired it to carry out its rehabilitation and create an educational and residential centre, which currently hosts the Summer Courses of the Complutense University of Madrid and various training courses.
The rehabilitation project was carried out by the architect Miguel de Oriol e Ibarra in 1989, respecting its historical value, rebuilding the building, incorporating preserved historical remains and providing the complex with a definitive solution and a continuous use that it had never had until then.
