The Oldehove (West Frisian: Aldehou [ˈɔːdəhɔu]) is a leaning and unfinished church tower in the medieval centre of the Dutch city of Leeuwarden.
[1] Oldehove is also the name of an artificial mound (terp) on which in the late 9th century a (Catholic) church dedicated to Saint Vitus was built.
In charge were Jacob van Aken (or Aaken) and, after his death, Cornelis Frederiksz.
The builders tried to compensate for the tilt, but the project was stopped in 1532 (1533 according to another source).
The top of the tower is displaced horizontally 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) from the centre.
