Kielder Observatory, designed by Charles Barclay Architects, is Kielder's most recent art and architecture project. Developed to provide a permanent base for the astronomers already taking advantage of Kielder's lack of light pollution, the Observatory is a striking example of functional contemporary architecture in a unique and breathtaking setting. Using power derived from wind and solar energy and bulit using timber from FSC certified sources, Kielder Observatory is an astronomical facility fit for the twenty-first century.
