En 1668, Louis XIV s'intéressa à l'agrandissement du domaine de Versailles et acheta les terres de Trianon où, en 1670, Le Vau édifia une "maison de porcelaine, le roi y fit plusieurs réceptions. Après détérioration, il fut remplacé par le Trianon de marbre.
C'est la première construction commandée par la reine Marie-Antoinette pour ses jardins de Trianon en 1778.
La Grotte de Thétys était située à l'emplacement de l'actuelle chapelle. Elle fut construite à partir de 1664 et demanda Dix ans de travaux, mais disparut dès 1684 lors de la construction de l'Aile Nord. Le bâtiment avait la forme d'un cube qui supportait un réservoir d'eau. La façade était ornée de trois grandes arcades fermées par des grilles de fer forgé décorées du soleil rayonnant.
