	Uraniborg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Uraniborg became a kind of early "research institute", which attracted students from many regions.
		On losing support from the new king Christian IV of Denmark, Tycho abandoned Hven in 1597 and both Uraniborg and Stjerneborg were destroyed shortly after Tycho's death.
		The gardens of Uraniborg are currently slowly being restored as part of a historical research project to use the species and varieties then extant.

		His home and observatory on the island of Hven, Uraniborg, "the fortress of Urania" (Urania was the Muse of Astronomy) was funded by the Danish crown and has claimed to be Europe’s first scientific research institute.
		At Uraniborg, Tycho and his many followers made the best and most systematic observations ever made with the naked eye, using improved instruments, many of which he designed himself and had built in the instrument shop that was part of the Uraniborg complex.
		As for Tycho himself, Uraniborg’s downfall was at the hands of the same Danish monarchy that had sustained it.

	Tycho Brahe - WiccanWeb.ca
		Uraniborg also had a laboratory for his alchemy experiments.
		His interest in alchemy, particularly the medical alchemy associated with Paracelsus, was almost as long-standing as his study of astrology and astronomy simultaneously, and Uraniborg was constructed as both observatory and laboratory.
		In an introductory oration to the course of lectures he gave in Copenhagen in 1574, Tycho defended astrology on the grounds of correspondences between the heavenly bodies, terrestrial substances (metals, stones etc.) and bodily organs.

	Tycho Brahe
		He had Uraniborg built; which become an early "research institute[?]".
		Recent investigations suppose that Tycho did not die directly of his urinary problems, but maybe poisoned himself unintentionally by administering some medicine containing arsenic (he pursued alchemical studies as well throughout his life, however he seems either not to have kept records or to have destroyed them).

		Tycho Brahe built Uraniborg on the island of Hveen in the Danish sound.
		The island was probably given to Brahe as a fief.
		The castle was built between 1576 and 1580 but destroyed soon after Brahe's evacuation.

		King Frederick II of Denmark offered Tycho the position of royal astronomer and the 2000 acre island of Hven, with all its tenants and servants to create the most elaborate observatory in existence: Uraniborg, "City of Heaven." It was so magnificent King Frederick would bring royal guests to visit.
		Uraniborg soon filled with instruments, and since its wood floors were not strong enough to support the largest of these, Tycho added a small subterranian building, "Stellaborg", of brick and stone, with geothermal insulation, and the first rotating dome roofs.
		For 20 years, Tycho measured the positions of the stars and planets; observed the motion of the Moon; discovered comets; and measured the length of the year to within 3 seconds.

		Uraniborg var et dobbeltanlæg, der med dets tilknyttede underjordiske observatoriekompleks ”Stjerneborg” skulle - trods dets relativt korte levetid - blive et af de berømteste observatorier nogensinde.
		Således synes Flamsteed nøje at have fulgt Tycho Brahes horoskop for Uraniborgs grundstensnedlæggelse som inspirationskilde, hvilket er en hidtil ukendt baggrund.

		The observatory, called Uraniborg, was equipped with exceptionally large and accurate instruments (and with an alchemical laboratory in its basement).
		Here is his plan of the gardens, from the same work, with the main building in the centre and servants' quarters, a printing studio, and other buildings just inside the outer walls.
		He published his account in De mundi aetherei recentioribus phaenomenis (1588) where he draws cosmological conclusions from the fact that his measurements show that the comet is not closer to Earth than the Moon, contradicting Aristotle's model of the cosmos.

	Image of Tycho Brahe: Johannes Hevelius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Johannes Hevelius, one of the leading observational astronomers of the seventeenth century, strongly cast himself in the image of Tycho Brahe.
		Through the way he identified himself with Tycho and through the instruments he chose for his observatory, he was able to benefit from Tycho's reputation, but this was an ambiguous legacy almost a century after the observations made at Uraniborg.
		The instruments at Sternenburg were designed in the manner of those on Hven and were constructed under the close super vision of the astronomer, as Tycho's had been.

		Tycho Brahe was one of history's great scientists whose ground-breaking observations in the 1500's set the stage for the discovery of the laws of planetary motion.
		To carry out his work, Brahe was granted his own private island by the King of Denmark where he constructed the magnificent Uraniborg, part castle, part laboratory and part observatory.
		His talk will include the theoretical and practical efforts in restoring Uraniborg's gardens and discuss the Renaissance era thinking on gardens and plants and how they served the great astronomer's plans.

		Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) became his era's "patron of science par excellence": he used his smarts, aristocratic status and access to Denmark's king, Frederick II, to turn the island of Hven into Uraniborg, a community built for the advancement of arts and sciences, staffed with scholars invited from all over Europe.
		Because Brahe's wife was a commoner, his sons could not inherit all his privileges; he spent much of the 1590s on schemes to ensure that Uraniborg would survive him.
		At its peak, Uraniborg (as the science center was called) supported not only Tycho's large family and servants, but a substantial group of assistants.

		Tycho knew that he needed the best astronomical data to prove that his system was correct.
		With the backing of the Danish crown, he built "Uraniborg" (Heavenly Castle) on Hven, a tiny island in the Øresund straits between Denmark and Sweden.
		Uraniborg quickly became the premier center for astronomical research in Europe.

	HISTORY
		To prevent him from moving abroad the king, Frederik II, gave him the island of Ven in Øresund, from where he observed the stars for 21 years.
		On Ven Tycho constructed a small castle, Uraniborg (the castle of Urania), which had instruments under the roof, as well as an observatory called Stjerneborg (the castle of the Stars).
		The next important Danish astronomer was Ole Rømer, who as a student came from Århus to Copenhagen in the mid 1660s, where he studied astronomy.
