A painting of Tycho Brahe's Uraniborg palace-observatory from his 1598 book - highest resolution

This is his plan of the gardens, with the main building in the centre and servants' quarters, a printing studio, and other buildings just inside the outer walls. Note that Tycho's design was influenced by buildings he had seen in Venice, and was also constructed in a highly geometrical form. The castle and its ground were perfectly oriented in the points of the compass.
