Story · Schiefer Turm von Suurhusen

You're standing by the leaning tower of Suurhusen, in a village in East Frisia, in the northwest of Germany. Take a good look at that tower. It clearly tips to one side, and no, your eyes aren't playing tricks. The top sticks out almost two and a half metres past the base. Guinness World Records once named this the most tilted tower in the world. There are towers that lean even further, like the one in Montreal, but those were built that way on purpose. This one wasn't.
