Observatory in Botanisk Have
Now I'm in Botanisk Have, and in the front you see a statue of Tycho Brahe, hence lending to my confusion about the identity of this observatory.    In the 1800's, this was a magnetic observatory, but the introduction of electric trams caused interference, and the observatory's responsibilities were moved elsewhere.  It now houses the Sciences Faculty of Copenhagen University.  I'd like to thank Niklas Holck for the additional information on this.
