Kiskartal Observatory was founded by Baron Géza Podmaniczky in 1884.
The main telescope was a 19-cm Merz-Cooke refractor, and the observatory
library contained 35 000 books. The observatory and the library were
demolished in the 1920s, and Podmaniczky bestowed the books and the telescope
to the Konkoly Observatory.
