Description: A coloured print of Tycho Brahe's Uraniborg palace-observatory from his 1598 book - highest resolution. This is his plan of the gardens, with the main building in the centre and servants' quarters, a printing studio, and other buildings just inside the outer walls. Note that Tycho's design was influenced by buildings he had seen in Venice, and was also constructed in a highly geometrical form. The castle and its ground were perfectly oriented in the points of the compass. Image source: taken from Tycho's Astronomiae instauratae mechanica (1598) Note the image was taken from the landskrona.se website, and the image quality reduced to 90% of the original's, although the source is no longer available at this resolution. For a poorer quality scan see [1]. For a medium resolution scan with more details see File:Uraniborgskiss 45.jpg.
