The building forms part of a heritage complex that possibly dates back to the 16th century. Until the end of the century. In the 18th century, it was home to important religious institutions, such as the Convent of São Domingos, or the Colégio dos Jesuítas, of which the Chapel of São Francisco Xavier and the cloisters remain today, as well as a considerable section of the medieval wall.

The building itself was adapted into a bourgeois palace in the 16th century. XIX, after a sporadic occupation by the Freiras Bernardas de Lisboa, having been the residence of a wealthy English family (the Fryxells) and also housing the English Consulate, during the years that preceded its purchase by the Portuguese State.

Every year, on the 3rd of December, the Chapel of São Francisco Xavier opens its doors to the devotion of the image of the Patron Saint of Setúbal. There are also medium-term plans to open the cloisters and the Camino de Ronda (Medieval Wall) to the public.

Being one of the most beautiful and significant heritage sets in the city of Setúbal, the Fryxell Palace and attached structures are of inestimable value.
