History
The building was constructed in 1911 for the library founded by Csaplovics Lőrinc (1778-1853). It is a collection of 84 thousand pieces. Csaplovics Lőrinc donated his scientific library to Árva County in 1839. Now the building is a literary museum.
P.O.Hviezdoslav (1849-1921) is one of the most popular Slovak poets. His Hungarian name is Országh Pál, because his father was Hungarian, while his mother was Slovak. He attended the Hungarian grammar schools in Miskolc and Késmárk. He graduated at the law academy in Eperjes. But despite his father being Hungarian, finally he had chosen to be a Slovak nationalist and started to publish revolutionary Slovak poems in 1871. His attitude did not prevent him from making a career in Hungary though. He worked as a district judge until 1879, when he became a lawyer. After the Czechoslovak invasion of northern Hungary, he became the member of the Czechoslovak Parliament. He greeted the establishment of Czechoslovakia with delight. He was a typical example of the Slovak intellectual who was educated and given work by Hungary, which even tolerated his nationalist sentiments by having the most liberal policy towards nationalities in Europe, and he thanked this by poisoning the relationship between the two nations and betrayed Hungary in the first possible moment (like the viper that bit the farmer who nourished it in his bosom in the tale of Aesop). He has a plaque on the wall of the building claiming that the poet lived and worked here.
