"The Castle and Observatory of Uraniborg on the island of Hven, Denmark" is a historical illustration by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg, depicting the renowned 16th-century research center established by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. This artwork is part of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, an ambitious atlas of city maps and views, which is considered one of the greatest achievements of cartography from the late Renaissance period. The illustration captures Uraniborg, an architectural marvel of its time, which served as both a castle and an observatory. It was designed by Brahe himself and constructed between 1576 and 1580 on the island of Hven, now part of Sweden, under the patronage of King Frederick II of Denmark.

The detailed engraving showcases the grandeur of Uraniborg, reflecting the fusion of science and art that characterized the Renaissance. The observatory was equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, many designed by Brahe, facilitating some of the most accurate astronomical observations of the pre-telescopic era. These observations later proved crucial for the work of Johannes Kepler and the development of modern astronomy. The illustration not only serves as a historical record of an important scientific site but also as a testament to the collaborative work of Braun and Hogenberg, whose collection of cityscapes provides invaluable insights into urban life and architecture during the 16th century.
