Hven
Hven, or Ven, is a small Swedish island in the Öresund strait, between Scania and Zealand.
The island was historically under Danish rule, but it fell to Swedish hands in 1660, two years after the Treaty of Roskilde. Astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) built two observatories here, Uraniborg and Stjerneborg.
