It was founded in 1753 by initiative of Thomas Zebrowski.[1] The observatory is the fourth oldest observatory in the Europe.[2][3][4][5] While the observatory is no longer able to make astronomical observations due to light pollution in Vilnius (observations are carried out at Molėtai Astronomical Observatory), it continues scientific research.
