In the middle of the Øresund strait, right between Sweden and Denmark, lies the idyllic island of Ven. The astronomer Tycho Brahe was gifted the whole island by King Fredrik II after he discovered a new star in the Cassiopeia constellation. Here he constructed one of the most interesting buildings of the time: the Uraniborg castle, a subterranean observatory called Stjerneborg and a renaissance garden. The New Church of Ven has now been turned into a museum, the garden has been renovated, and in the observatory you can watch a light and sound show. The light in Ven is said to have a unique quality, which has attracted many an artist and ceramist to the island. Take a tour among the studios and workshops, and meet with sculptors and silversmiths along the way. Ven is a small island, and the best way to get around is by bike, which you can easily rent when you get off the ferry.

The museum operates since 1974, and is housed in the famous traveller and writer's historic family residence. Fiedler's travel souvenirs dominate among its exhibits, and nearby the vila the is a Garden of Tolerance - with the full-scale replica of Christopher Columbus' vessel "Santa maria", or a replica of the Hurricane - an aircraft used by Polish airmen during World War II.

This church is also known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and was built in 1130. The church is influenced by the round churches in Jerusalem. Back in the 15th century, the church featured a heavy gothic tower. However, in 1841, this caused a partial collapse in the round ambulatory. This is Cambridge's second oldest building.
