The "Alexandru Vlahuță" house in Agapia is a small memorial museum established in the house where the writer Alexandru Vlahuță lived (1858-1919). The house was built of wood in 1885, near the Agapia Monastery (Neamț County). The Mitropoly of Moldavia and Suceava carried out consolidation and restoration works of the house where the writer lived.

Currently, literary gatherings are organized on the porch of the house.
