The Crawford Observatory (1880) is a 19th-century astronomical observatory which contains its original scientific instruments and interior features. It was designed and outfitted by the Irish firm of Grubb, who were world leaders in this field at that time, supplying observatories and astronomical equipment all over the world.
The Observatory will be open from 2pm to 6pm on Cork Heritage Open Day. The building is small (max 20 persons) and access for people with mobility issues is limited to the ground floor only.
