Last weekend we went for in short city trip in the north of Holland; Leeuwarden, the capital of the province Friesland.
This is "De Oldehove", an unfinished church tower in the medieval centre It leans more than the tower of Pisa in Italy (1,99 meter).
Construction of the Late Gothic tower began in 1529, after the citizens of Leeuwarden demanded a tower taller than the one in the city of Groningen, the Martinitoren (about 60km to the east). In charge were Jacob van Aken and, after his death, Cornelis Frederiksz.
During construction, the tower began to sag, which the builders tried to compensate for by inserting several "kinks", but the project was stopped somewhere in 1532/1533.
