Stepan Zoryan's House Museum

Stepan Zoryan's House Museum, Literature museum in Vanadzor, Armenia.

Stepan Zoryan's House Museum occupies a two-storey house with a crenellated pyramid roof, designed by the writer's sons, architects Levon and Karen Zoryan, and built in 1962–1964 in Vanadzor. It has seven halls, including the study and bedroom kept as memorial rooms, and a bust of Zoryan by sculptor Gerasim Tumanian in the entrance hall.

The two-storey house with a crenellated pyramid roof was built in 1962–1964 for Stepan Zoryan in his native Kirovakan, designed by his architect sons Levon and Karen Zoryan; locals nicknamed it "Armenian Fortress". Reconstruction for the museum began in spring 1982 under Valery Ghambaryan, and the exhibition plan was approved in 1983. The house-museum opened on 15 September 1990, the writer's birthday.

The house is known for its "Apple Orchard", where Zoryan planted and tended silver firs and several apple trees himself. Guests are often greeted with apples from the garden, a symbolic welcome that frames the visit. The museum is the only literary museum in Vanadzor and hosts lectures, writers' meetings, film screenings and exhibitions.
