Suyumbike Tower, Russia
From series “Falling towers and buildings”Year: 17 century. Height: 58 m.
The amazing Söyembikä Tower is located in Kazan. Its tilt is also visually noticeable. The exact date of construction of this tower is unknown. Most historians believe that it was built at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries. Recent archaeological research has shown that the very first building was built in this place in the middle of the 16th century. The tower is located on the territory of the Kazan Kremlin. Initially, it served as a watchtower.
The foundation for it was constructed based on oak piles. The main building material for the construction of the tower was brick and lime mortar. The tower is 58 meters high. Its tilt from the vertical is 1.98 meters. Experts do not consider such a significant indicator critical, even though it can frighten many uninformed people. No work was carried out to strengthen the foundation of the watchtower.
