According to recorded documents, the mansion was built by Governor General of Indochina Pasquier in 1928 as a resort, then given to King Bao Dai in 1949. King Bao Dai used this villa every time he went to the North.

Since 1999, this place has started welcoming visitors and tourism services. On September 29, 2020, Hai Phong City People's Committee recognized Bao Dai villa as a tourist destination.
