Johannes-Kepler-Sternwarte, Astronomical observatory in Linz, Austria.
The Johannes-Kepler-Sternwarte features a computer-controlled 50-centimeter mirror telescope for observing celestial bodies and conducting astronomical research on Freinberg hill.
The facility opened in 1983 as Volkssternwarte Linz and received its current name in 1993 to honor Johannes Kepler, who lived in Linz from 1612 to 1626.
The observatory organizes regular public astronomy events, scientific presentations, and educational programs that connect visitors with space exploration and celestial phenomena.
Public guided tours operate from January to May and September to December every Friday, with admission prices of 10 euros for adults and 5 euros for reduced tickets.
The facility maintains a satellite location in Gramastetten, established in 1995, which enables observations away from urban light interference.
