Brorfelde Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Holbæk Municipality, Denmark.
The observatory comprises four scientific buildings and five staff residences, integrated into the hillside landscape at 60 meters above sea level.
Established in 1953 following a substantial donation from Carlsbergfondet in 1947, the observatory replaced Copenhagen University's facility in the Botanical Garden.
The facility serves as an educational center where visitors can learn about astronomy, geology, technology, and nature through hands-on experiences.
Located on Observator Gyldenkernes Vej, the observatory buildings open only during specific events or through prior arrangements, while surrounding areas remain accessible.
Each staff residence features a circular earthen mound with a 40-meter diameter, bordered by hawthorn hedges that minimize light interference.
