The Kuffner observatory was built at the end of the 19th century. It was founded by entrepreneur Moriz von Kuffner, the former owner of the Ottakringer brewery. The brick building was restored from 1991 to 1993. You can regularly take part in guided tours for a voluntary donation. More information is available at kuffner-sternwarte.at.

The listed Kuffner observatory from the 19th century, located on the western outskirts of Vienna, impressively demonstrates how astronomy was researched more than 125 years ago. Due to the good condition of the historical instruments, it is still possible today to observe the night sky like back then. The faithfully restored astronomical instruments and the flair of the historic building offer visitors a special experience.
