The observatory is still used for climate science today, is one of the first buildings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is located on a hill in a small park with numerous stairs. The hill divides Stockholm into a western and eastern part.

The observatory was built between 1748 and 1753 according to designs by the architect Carl Hirleman. After a new observatory was built in Saltsjöbaden in 1929, the old observatory is now only used as a museum.

The view over the ciry from up here is great early/late in the year when the trees allow to see through.
