T︠S︡entralʹnyĭ dom literatorov, 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 center serves as a gathering place where writers and artists from Russia and abroad meet to share their work and ideas. Literary readings and creative meetings happen regularly within its walls, shaping the city's cultural conversation.
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.
The venue has hosted many renowned figures including physicist Niels Bohr, actors Gérard Philipe and Marlene Dietrich, and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. These visits reflect its importance as a meeting ground for artists and cultural leaders from around the world.
