The Oldehove is the pride of Leeuwarden. Built in 1529, the tower was intended to be the centrepiece of the site where a new church was to be erected. Unfortunately, construction proved problematic and the tower soon began to sink. Heroic attempts were made to complete the tower, but to no avail. And whilst it was once a thorn in the side of many ‘Liwadders’, over the years we have rebranded it as the pride of our city, and we are delighted to show it off to our visitors. In short, history with a magnificent view. Come, see and climb!
A visit to the Oldehove is an absolute highlight during your stay in Leeuwarden, and the 183 steps offer a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding area. The tower is open to visitors daily between April and the end of October.
