Sternwarteareal, Natural monument and park in Währing, Vienna, Austria.
The Sternwarteareal spans 5.8 hectares of green space with the University Observatory of Vienna at its center in the Cottageviertel district.
The construction of the University Observatory within the park took place between 1874 and 1879, resulting in the largest observatory building worldwide.
A referendum in 1973 against construction plans demonstrated the rising environmental consciousness in Vienna, leading to the mayor's resignation.
The park opens on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during summer and closes at 3:30 PM in winter, with access points at Türkenschanzstraße.
The park contains over 100 plant and tree species, forming an ecological reserve that serves as a habitat for numerous animal species.
