  Tycho Brahe - MSN Encarta
Brahe accepted the proposal, and in 1576 construction began on the castle of Uranienborg (“fortress of the heavens”), where for 20 years the astronomer pursued his observations.
After the death of Frederick II in 1588, Brahe's benefits were withdrawn by Frederick's successor, Christian IV, and eventually the astronomer was deprived of even his observatory.
In 1597 Brahe accepted an invitation to Bohemia from the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who gave him a pension of 3000 ducats and an estate near Prague, where a new Uranienborg was to be built.

Brahe built the Uranienborg on the island and spent the next twenty years making naked-eye observations of the stars and planets.
He made a catalog of the positions of over 1000 stars, proved that comets were not objects in the atmosphere, and constructed laws of planetary motion which conflicted with both Ptolemaic and Copernican systems
The plan of the Uranienborg is based on that in Jan Blaeu’s Geographia, quae est Blaeuianea pars prima, Amsterdam, 1662.

 The Deptford Lads: Tycho Brahe
Construction of the castle of Uranienborg ("fortress of the heavens") was begun in 1576, and Brahe made observations from there for some 20 years.
Brahe's Uranienborg observatory was on the small island of Ven (or Hven) in the middle of the sound.
It seems he built it there at least partly because even in those days there was a distinct advantage, in terms of the atmospheric conditions, in being in the middle of the sea, away from inhabited areas.
