One of Hungary’s most celebrated cultural figures moved to Esztergom in 1924. Babits Mihály used the money from a Dante translation to buy this house on the east side of the city, and made repeated of extensions right up until he passed away in 1943. The interiors were painted by Einzinger Ferenc, a friend of Mihály.

On the south side of the property is the glass veranda where Mihály composed many of his most famous poems.
