The building is a pink Art Deco mansion and one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in Portugal. In 1923, the estate was acquired by Carlos Alberto Cabral, 2nd Count of Vizela, as a summer residence. From 1925 to the mid-1940s, the house was developed with contributions from Charles Siclis, José Marques da Silva, and others, blending Art Deco, neoclassical, and romantic influences. The family moved in in 1944, but financial difficulties led to the sale of the property in the late 1950s. In 1986, the estate became public property and was opened to the public in 1987. Since the establishment of the Serralves Foundation in 1989, the house has been maintained and used for cultural exhibitions and as part of the foundation’s institutional operations.
