In Stockholm where I live in Sweden we have a couple of old observatories. One of them is Boberg's Observatory at Skansen. I have taken some photos of it and written down some information. As it's today it isn't open for the public, maybe in the future.

Ferdinand Boberg was a famous architect in Sweden and this observatory was a gift to Skansen from him.

Nice write up. Too bad they don’t have tours, but hopefully your inquiry will get something going there

If I in the future get the oportunity to have a look inside I do a follow up report.

 

I got some new information already that I have updated the Boberg's observatory page with:
