Ústecká hvězdárna, Astronomical observatory in Telnice, Czech Republic
The observatory building measures 9 meters in length and 5 meters in width, positioned at an elevation of 480 meters on the southern slope of Liboňov.
Founded in 1929 by the Society of Friends of the German University Observatory in Prague, the facility operated until 1945 when its equipment was relocated.
The observatory served as a center for astronomical research and education, equipped with a telescope capable of 300 times magnification for scientific observations.
In 2022, new owners initiated restoration plans to transform the observatory into an educational facility for astronomy programs and dark sky observation sessions.
The original structure contained specialized roof mechanisms that allowed complete opening for unobstructed views of the night sky during astronomical observations.
