Géza Gárdonyi Memorial House in Gárdony, Literary museum in Agárd, Hungary.

The Géza Gárdonyi Memorial House in Agárd is a museum in the writer's birthplace, a long whitewashed brick servants' house of the Nádasdy estate, once thatched and now tiled. Its three south-facing doors each open onto a pitvar flanked by two rooms with earthen floors and domed stoves; the Zieglers had the middle dwelling. Inside are documents, photographs and relics of the writer's life, plus a peasant kitchen with period furniture.

Géza Gárdonyi was born here on 3 August 1863 as Géza Ziegler and lived in the central flat of this servants' house until 24 April 1864; his father Sándor worked as the estate's mechanic. A red marble plaque was placed on the wall after the writer's death, and the memorial house opened in 1988. In August 2013 a seated statue by Sándor Kligl was unveiled, and in 2014 a memorial wall honoured 22 writers from Fejér County.

The house was built as a brick servant's dwelling for the Nádasdy estate, intended originally as a schoolhouse, which is why it was made of brick rather than mud. Each family had a three-part unit: a porch opening from the south side, flanked by two rooms with stamped-earth floors and domed stoves. The Zieglers, the estate mechanic's family, occupied the middle unit.

The memorial opened in 1988 in the writer's birth house, a long whitewashed brick building that was originally a servant's house of the Nádasdy estate. It is open only periodically, usually during the main tourist season, so check before travelling. The rooms connect to each other, and a peasant kitchen furnished with period objects is also on display.

The house was built in brick rather than the usual rammed earth because the Nádasdy estate intended it as a school; by the writer's birth it housed the estate's skilled craftsmen instead. A red marble plaque was placed on the wall after his death, and the memorial opened in 1988.
