Leanne lovink Profile picture The Leiden Observatory was founded in 1633 as an observatory at Leiden University, making it the oldest university observatory in the world.

In 1861, a new and larger observatory was built under the direction of F. Kaiser on land that was compulsorily ceded by the Hortus botanicus Leiden. This building is now called the Old Observatory.
