History

The house is marked by a commemorative plaque. The poet's original birthplace burnt down in 1823, leaving no trace of it, so it could not be reconstructed. The building on the site of the poet's former birthplace was bought by the municipality of Nagyszalonta in 1908. In 1909 a commemorative plaque was placed on the facade of the building. The building was completely renovated in 2010.

It is intended to present the childhood of Arany János, and contains no personal items. Arany János was born into an impoverished noble family.
