About
The Mother Teresa Memorial House (Macedonian: Спомен-куќа на Мајка Тереза, romanized: Spomen-kukja na Majka Tereza, Albanian: Shtëpia përkujtimore e Nënë Terezës) is a museum dedicated to the Catholic saint and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mother Teresa. It is located in her hometown Skopje, in North Macedonia, where she lived from 1910 to 1928. The memorial house was built on the Macedonia Street in the Centar municipality, on the location of the former Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Church, where Mother Teresa was baptized. It lies just east of the Ristiḱ Palace and the Macedonia Square. Opened in January 2009, the memorial house was visited by around 12,000 people in its first three weeks.
