The
Oldehove is an unfinished church tower in the old city of Leeuwarden. During construction -around the year of 1530- the tower began to sag and the project was stopped. In 1595 the then derelict church was demolished, but the brick tower remains. Today it leans more than the tower of Pisa in Italy!
The
Oldehove is listed as national heritage. And pictured on manhole covers throughout the city..
Mooie toren zo zonder kerk.

In the Fens of Cambridgeshire, which are similar geologically to your country, several towers are built separately to the church because of the dangers of them collapsing. I've never seen one leaning to that degree!

The lean is quite obvious. I wonder if my father would be familiar with this.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wouldn't want to be sleeping on the back side of that tower! Perhaps steps have been taken to stop the lean and bolster whatever lean is left? Fun post!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAmazing!
