About "The Oldehove, Leeuwarden"

by Digital Art Nederland

About the artwork

The famous Dutch "tower of Pisa" stands in Leeuwarden and is called the Oldehove. In 1529, Jacob van Aaken started building this leaning, crooked and ultimately unfinished tower. A new church was meant to rise next to the Oldehove to replace the old Sint Vituskerk, but it never came to that. The tower was supposed to be over 120 metres tall. It was not easy for master builder Jacob van Aaken, as the tower was already leaning during construction. Attempts were made to build further on the leaning substructure at right angles, but unfortunately without the desired result. In 1532, Jacob van Aaken was dismissed and replaced by Cormelis Frederiks. Construction was halted in 1533 and never resumed. The tower never had any special functions. Nevertheless, the tower has become one of the most important symbols of the city of Leeuwarden. The people of Leeuwarden are proud of their Oldehove. "A'k de Oldehove niet siën ken, dan foël ik my onwennich", is a well-known saying in the city dialect.
