On the beatiful island Ven, placed in the Sound, between Scania and Seeland, the world famous astronomer Tycho Brahe lived and worked for 21 years during the 16th century.

He had found the star "Stella Nova" in the constellation Casioppeia and hade gotten worldreputation. The danish king Fredrik II, who ordered the building of Kronborg Castle
