Agnon House, Writer's residence in Talpiot, Jerusalem, Israel
The Agnon House features a preserved study room on the second floor containing thousands of books from Biblical and Rabbinic literature to modern works.
Built in 1931 by architect Fritz Kornberg, this residence became the home where Nobel Prize laureate S.Y. Agnon lived and wrote until 1970.
The house museum contains the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to S.Y. Agnon in 1966 for his contributions to Hebrew literature.
Visitors can explore the house through self-guided audio tours available in English and Hebrew, with specialized guided tours offered for groups.
The original writing desk and personal library remain exactly as Agnon left them, preserving the environment where he created novels like Shira.
