Satyagraha House, Guest house and museum in Orchards, South Africa
The Satyagraha House features seven rooms distributed between the original structure, a cottage, and a modern wing added in 2010 with gardens.
Hermann Kallenbach constructed this residence in 1907 for Mohandas Gandhi, who lived here during 1908-1909 while developing his passive resistance philosophy.
The architecture combines traditional South African elements with Indian influences, featuring meditation gardens, spiritual libraries, and dedicated exhibition spaces about Gandhi.
Located 16 kilometers from Johannesburg International Airport, the establishment provides vegetarian meals, meditation sessions, parking facilities, and airport transfers.
The preserved loft space where Gandhi slept, prayed, and wrote remains accessible to visitors, maintaining its original configuration from the early 1900s.
