From series “Falling towers and buildings”
Year: 1724. Height: 57,5 m.

The old industrial town of Nevyansk is located in the Urals. There is a leaning tower among its unique architectural monuments. Construction of the Tower of Nevyansk began in 1721. It lasted a little more than three years. The famous Russian nobleman Akinfiy Demidov was the initiator of its construction. The tower has a beautiful exterior design. Its height is 57.5 meters. Its deviation from the vertical axis reached 1.85 meters today.

Leaning Tower Of Nevyansk, Russia The author of the project of the old tower is unknown. It was used for a variety of purposes after construction was completed. One of the main guard posts of the town was located in the tower. It also served as a bell tower. The archive of local factories was located in it at a certain period. The tower was used as a laboratory and even a prison after that.

Many interesting legends are associated with the Tower of Nevyansk. According to one of them, its owner Demidov was engaged in illegal activities for several years. He minted counterfeit coins in his laboratory. Demidov ordered to flood the lower level of the tower when it became known about the auditor's intention to visit his office. His apartment was located on the lower level. It is believed that the tower began to tilt after this. However, there are no historical facts to support this story. Modern experts believe that the main reason for the tower's tilt is a technical error during construction. Some experts believe that the architect deliberately built the tower inclined.
