History
The house was built in the first quarter of the 19th century at 117 Zámečnická Street.[2] In the 1850s, the second floor, located above a blacksmith's shop on the first floor, was leased by the family of Sigmund Freud and his mother, Amalia Freud.
This house was the only building preserved during the demolition of the entire old Zámečnická Street in 1975.
This house was designated as a cultural monument in 2005. In 2006, it was purchased by the town of Příbor to be restored to its original 19th-century appearance in order to establish a museum honouring Sigmund Freud.[3] The museum was officially opened on 27 May 2006, the 150th anniversary of Freud's birth, in the presence of his descendants and President Václav Klaus.[citation needed]
