The villa was built in 1891; in 1918–1919 it housed the headquarters of Marshal Ferdinand Foch. In 1976 the building was acquired by East-West United Bank, incorporated in Luxembourg on 12 June 1974 to represent the Soviet Union's interests in the Benelux countries; according to Delano, the bank was set up as a daughter bank of the central bank and belonged to the network of foreign banks of Vneshtorgbank. After 1992 the shares passed to private shareholders, and in the 2000s the bank came under the control of Sistema.
Вилла построена в 1891 году; в 1918–1919 годах в ней размещался штаб маршала Фердинанда Фоша. В 1976 году здание приобрёл «Ист-Вест Юнайтед Банк», учреждённый в Люксембурге 12 июня 1974 года для представления интересов СССР в странах Бенилюкса; по данным издания Delano, банк создавался как дочерний банк центрального банка и входил в сеть заграничных банков Внешторгбанка. После 1992 года доли перешли к частным акционерам, в 2000-е годы банк перешёл под контроль АФК «Система».
