It was built between 1864 and 1879 by the architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc (1814 - 1879), instead of an astronomical observatory dating back to 1858. The castle houses a new observatory, equipped with a Meridian bezel of 2.05 m focal length, with which d'Abbadie participated in the elaboration of the map of the sky “”. Passionate about astronomy, Antoine d'Abbadie made many trips, notably to observe total eclipses of the Sun in Norway (1851), Spain (1860) and Algeria (1867). In 1882 he observed Venus's passage before the Sun from the West Indies. He was president of the Academy of Sciences in 1891 and 1892. Abbadia Castle, owned by the French Academy of Sciences, was built by Eugene Viollet le Duc between 1864 and 1879. It houses a former astronomy observatory.
