Casa Sommer

Arquivo Histórico Municipal

Neste edifício, onde poderá visitar exposições sobre a história de Cascais, funciona o Arquivo Histórico Municipal e a Livraria Municipal. Mandado edificar por Henrique Oliveira de Sommer na última década do século XIX, constitui o mais importante e erudito exemplo de residência particular neoclássica da vila, tendo sido classificado como de Interesse Municipal em 2005. Na sequência de profunda intervenção de reabilitação aqui se passou a preservar, organizar e comunicar toda a documentação de conservação permanente de interesse para a história do concelho de Cascais.

Municipal Historical Archives

Besides organising regular exhibitions about the history of Cascais, this building houses both the Municipal Historical Archives and the Municipal Book Shop. Commissioned by Henrique Oliveira de Sommer at the end of the 19th century, and later classified as a protected building in 2005, it is the most important and striking example of a private neoclassical residence in Cascais. Following a period of extensive refurbishment, Casa Sommer is now responsible for the preservation, organisation and communication of all permanently-stored documentation concerning the history of Cascais Council.
