Location History
This Mala domus (evil house) appeared in texts for the first time in 1244, and a manor house is referred to in the 14th century under the name of La Malmaison. This domain is passed over the centuries from families to families.

The Revolution led the owners to sell La Malmaison to Joséphine Bonaparte on April 1799. From 1800 to 1802 this small château became the seat of the French government. After their divorce in 1809, the Emperor gave her the property, and she died here on 29 May 1814.

Damaged, the estate was sold by the State in 1877. In 1896, the patron and philanthropist Daniel Iffla purchased the château along with its park, by then reduced to 6 hectares, and donated it to the State in 1903. A museum was opened on the estate in 1905.
