Il fait partie du Domaine de Sceaux qui appartenait à Jean-Baptise Colbert, le ministre des finances de Louis XIV.
Situé sur l'ancien jardin potager du domaine, ce petit édifice est le plus célèbre de Sceaux. Il est dédié à Aurore pour annoncer la disparition de la Nuit.
A l’intérieur du pavillon, sous la coupole, on trouve une grande peinture réalisée par Charles Le Brun: L’Aurore sur son char.
Colbert se sert de ce pavillon pour y recevoir son conseil et y installe un cabinet de travail. Plus tard, son fils Jean-Baptiste, marquis de Seignelay, y donne de nombreuses fêtes et réceptions.
