Uraniborg site
Near the middle of the island, the site of Tycho Brahe's observatory and its reconstructed garden forms a small, deliberate geometric figure among the surrounding farmland.

The island
About this Ven map poster
Ven sits in the middle of the Øresund, the strait between Sweden and Denmark, and belongs to Landskrona municipality on the Swedish side. It is a compact oval island, a raised plateau of farmland whose steep slopes and cliffs drop to narrow beaches. From above, the patchwork of fields and the thin lanes crossing them give the interior a gentle, almost ruled texture.
The island is best known for Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer who was granted Ven in the 1570s and built two observatories there, Uraniborg and the partly underground Stjerneborg. His precise observations of the stars and planets later helped Johannes Kepler work out the laws of planetary motion. The site is now a museum, and its Renaissance garden has been reconstructed in a clear geometric plan.
The harbours of Bäckviken and Kyrkbacken sit on the east and west coasts respectively, and the lanes between them are mostly travelled by bicycle. A Ven map poster shows the whole island at a glance. A little of the Swedish or Danish shore at the edge hints at how close the island is to both countries, and how separate from them.

Steep island edge
The plateau ends abruptly at steep grassy slopes that drop to the water, so the coastline on the map is a firm, clean edge rather than a ragged one.
Bäckviken harbour
The ferry from Landskrona arrives at this small east-coast harbour. From there a short road climbs off the water onto the plateau and fans out into the island's lanes.

Why Ven
A map that means something
Ven suits anyone drawn to the history of astronomy, and the many people who have cycled its lanes on a summer day out from Landskrona or Copenhagen. Its tidy oval shape is easy to recognise and holds a surprising amount of history for so small a place.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with the date of that ride or a line about Tycho, and choose one of five styles. Noir makes a fitting night sky. The files come as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF in six sizes for $9, or you can order a printed poster, framed if you like.
