OBSERVATOIRE DE L'UNIVERSITÄTS-STERNWARTE

You can take a guided tour of the university's historic observatory. Built by architects Fellner & Helmer between 1874 and 1880, this building houses Austria's largest telescope, the 80 cm-diameter telescope housed under the north dome, and an exhibition on the history of astronomy. The observatory is dedicated to fundamental astronomical research, the study of galaxies and their formation, and the evolution of stars.
