De Oldehove

Highlight • Monument

It should have been so beautiful: a church tower over 120 meters high in the heart of Leeuwarden. The construction of De Oldehove, Leeuwarden's Leaning Tower, began as early as 1529. After 10 meters, it became apparent that the tower was sagging on one side. The builder still tried to correct the mistake, but when the tower reached 40 meters, it was not only crooked, but also crooked. De Oldehove was never completed, but has become a symbol of Leeuwarden.

Nowadays you can climb the 183 steps to enjoy the magnificent view over Leeuwarden from the highest point. The tower is open to visitors daily from April to October inclusive.
