## History

[edit]

Sergei Pankejeff with his wife, the last owners of the palace

In 1880, after the death of Vasyl Dubiecki, the manor was sold. In 1885, Konstantin Pankejeff became the owner. His son, Sergei Pankejeff, is well known as the "Wolf Man", one of the most famous clients of Sigmund Freud, because he was tormented by a nightmare of wolves watching him for a long time, which Freud interpreted as fear of being eaten by the father. Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok have later analyzed the dream as testifying to child abuse by the father. Thanks to this fact the manor received the nickname Wolf's-lair.
