Tower in Telyuk Intan, Malaysia
From series “Falling towers and buildings”Year: 1885. Height: 25,5 m.
You can see an unusual inclined tower in the Malaysian city of Teluk Intan. It has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. The tower is 25.5 meters high. It was originally built as a water tower and a clock tower. It leaned heavily a few years after construction was completed. Therefore, it is not used for its intended purpose today. Many travelers note that the Teluk Intan tower looks very similar to the famous leaning tower of Pisa.
You can assume that it is eight stories high when viewed externally. But the inner space of the tower is divided into only three floors. The tower was completed in 1885. It was planned to store water for locals in it. They could use this water in times of drought. The tower has survived many difficult historical periods despite obvious violations in the construction technology. Reconstruction has never been carried out in it over the years of its existence.
