4: Astronomy parkTo have an observatory running there are a need of other facilities. These buildings are also in this Astronomy Park. Uppsala old Observatory was one of the old observatories from the article "Sweden's old observatories" that I translated not long ago: Sweden's old observatories. Seismological instrument house:![]() Maybe this was the meridian observatory. Today it's a seismological instrument in the building. Workshop and staff quarters:![]() The most left house was the workshop, mechanical and optics I think. The three buildings to the right was the staffs living quarters. Professor's residence:![]() The professor could of course not live among the workers and had his own house. ![]() In front of professor's house is another building, they stored the instrument here when not in use. Store:![]() A small store built of wood, no idea what they need to store here. In the background the instrument store building in front of professor's house. Instrument house:![]() When some of the instrument was not in use they stored them here. Meteorological observatory:![]() Built after the astronomical observatory. ![]() The meteorological observatory is housed in a very beautiful building. Musicum:![]() The Musicum building was, built 1928 and I think it never had anything to do with the astronomical observatory.. |

From Ice in Space forum I got this message: Links provided by Barry:
Wow, that's a place I want to visit ! I found more information about the Schmidt telescope and why it has the Uppsala name. It was built 1956 in Sweden and placed at Mount Stromlo Observatory from 1957 to 1982: More info about Mount Stromlo Observatory:
