 The weather station is a space on top of the roof of the observatory building. In the past it was used for observing the changes in the weather.

 The instruments are mostly removed from the space, although a rusty leftover device of its instrumental past is still in place. A metal wind measure and some more contemporary electronic looking observation devices are still attached to the mast on top of the boot. The station as a space serves as an instrument for artistic experimentation.
