SUURHUSEN CHURCH, GERMANY | WAS AT ONE TIME THE MOST TITLED TOWER IN THE WORLD | 4K

We didn't know that Suurhusen, a village north of Emden in the German region of East Frisia, has an old historic church, where the church tower, leaning at an angle of 5.19 degrees, is the most leaning tower in the world, beating the Leaning Tower of Pisa by 1.22 degrees. It's amazing that we were here to see it with our own eyes.

According to the Guinness World Records it was at one time the most tilted tower in the world, although intentionally inclined towers such as the Montreal Tower far surpass it. The Suurhusen steeple as of 2007 claimed to be the unintentionally tilted tower with the greatest angle of lean in the world, 1.22° more than Leaning Tower of Pisa. According to local historian Tjabbo van Lessen, the church was built in the Middle Ages in marshy land on foundations of oak tree trunks which were preserved by groundwater. When the land was drained in the 19th century, the wood rotted, causing the tower to tilt. The steeple was closed to the public in 1975 for safety reasons, and re-opened 10 years later after it was stabilized. (However, The Leaning Tower of Gau-Weinheim was leaning at 5.4277° on 15 July 2022.
