Leaning Tower of Nevyansk

The Leaning Tower of Nevyansk (́ ́) is a tower built in the 18th century located within the town of Nevyansk, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. The construction was funded by the blacksmith and industrialist Nikita Demidov and later his son Akinfiy Demidov, a famous Russian manufacturer and associate of Peter I. However, the architect is not presently known. The height of the tower is 57.5 metres (189 ft), while its base is 9.5 metres (31 ft) wide. The deviation from the vertical of the top part of the tower is approximately 3 degrees. The exact date of construction is unknown, but Russian historians believe that it was built between 1721 and 1745. The tower is prominently featured within the town's flag and coat of arms. Following the restoration, the Nevyansk Tower was opened to the public. Guided tours are provided by a local museum and tourist guides from Yekaterinburg.
