Bernoullianum, Scientific university building in Basel, Switzerland
The Bernoullianum features a neo-baroque architectural style with six pilasters adorned with ionic capitals and a central physics tower topped by an observatory dome.
Built between 1872 and 1874 under architect Johann Jakob Stehlin the Younger, the structure celebrated 400 years of natural sciences at the University of Basel.
The central auditorium, designed to accommodate 500 people, established the building as a center for scientific education and public knowledge dissemination.
Located at Klingelbergstrasse/Bernoullistrasse 26/30, the building currently houses institutes of geology, paleontology, mineralogy, environmental sciences, and Egyptology studies.
The building includes a rooftop terrace specifically constructed for groups to observe astronomical events, accessed through two separate room structures.
