Hradec Králové Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
The Hradec Králové Observatory stands at 287 meters elevation with a rotational ellipsoid structure resting on a rectangular foundation containing both observatory and planetarium functions.
The facility initiated its astronomical activities in 1961, while the current premises began operations on August 5, 2003, marking an expansion of scientific capabilities.
