Planetarium Zuylenburgh, Mechanical planetarium in Oud-Zuilen, Netherlands.
The Planetarium Zuylenburgh contains an intricate system of interlocking gears that displays the positions of celestial bodies on the painted ceiling.
In 2009, the private residence Zuylenburgh, dating from 1752, incorporated this mechanical planetarium based on Eise Eisinga's original working drawings.
This facility represents the third mechanical planetarium in the Netherlands, maintaining traditional Dutch astronomical instrument crafting methods through precise handmade components.
The planetarium operates within a private residence at Dorpsstraat 18, requiring advance arrangements for visits through email correspondence.
The planets rotate within carved ceiling grooves at their actual orbital speeds, moving so gradually that human eyes cannot detect the motion.
