The castle is otherwise called "The Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire", which is focused around the handle of its best known previous manager, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro. 

The land that is presently Quinta da Regaleira had numerous holders throughout the years. It had a place with the Barons of Regaleira, a group of affluent vendors from Porto, when it was sold in 1892 to Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro was avid to manufacture a dazing spot where he could gather images that reflected his diversions and belief systems. With the support of the Italian draftsman Luigi Manini, he reproduced the 4-hectare home. Notwithstanding other new gimmicks, he included puzzling structures that purportedly held images identified with speculative chemistry, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The structural engineering Manini planned evoked Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline astyles. The development of the current home initiated in 1904 and much of it was finished by 1910. 

The home was later sold in 1942 to Waldemar d'orey, who utilized it as private habitation for his far reaching crew. He requested repairs and rebuilding work for the property. In 1987, the home was sold, by and by, to the Japanese Aoki Corporation and stopped to serve as a living arrangement. The company kept the domain shut to people in general for ten years, until it was obtained by the Sintra Town Hall in 1997. Broad reclamation endeavors were immediately launched all through the home. It at long last opened to people in general in June of 1998 and started facilitating social occasions. In August of that same year, the Portuguese Ministry of Culture ordered the bequest as "open investment property.
