The Seeberg observatory in Gotha was one of the first special observatory buildings in Europe. It was built by Duke Ernst II of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg according to plans of the Austrian astronomer Franz Xaver von Zach and was part of the overall Gotha Observatory project. This project included further research facilities, where a number of scientists were employed.
In 1790 the Seeberg observatory on the Kleiner Seeberg was put into operation. It served as an astronomical observatory until 1839.
Today the listed building is used as a hotel and restaurant.
