Central House of Writers, Writers' cultural center in Presnensky District, Russia.

The Central House of Writers is a cultural center occupying two connected buildings on Povarskaya Street and Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street in Moscow. Inside are a main auditorium with around 440 seats, a restaurant, several cafes, and exhibition spaces designed for a range of artistic activities.

The original mansion was built in 1889 by architect Pyotr Boytsov for Prince Svyatopolk-Chetvertinsky and became a writers' house after state takeover in 1932. Since its founding as a cultural institution, it has served as an important venue for literary and artistic activities in Moscow.

The name refers to the writers' club founded in 1934, the year of the first congress of Soviet writers. Until 2000, entry was possible only with a writer's membership card. Civil memorial services for writers, directors and other creative figures are held here.

The center is centrally located in Moscow and easily accessible; the two building sections are connected by internal passages. Visitors should note that opening hours vary depending on events, so it helps to check the schedule in advance.

Until 2000, entry to the building was possible only with a writer's membership card. The Moscow Capital Club, opened here in 2017, became Russia's first private club admitted to the International Club Association (IAC).
