The Walfridustoren is the most leaning tower in the Netherlands and with 4.2 degrees much leaner than the tower of Pisa (with 3.19). The construction of the church started in the 12th century and is named after Saint Walfridus who was murdered here with his son Radfridus by the Normans. Incidentally, not the most leaning in the world, that is "Der schiefe Turm von Suurhusen" in the German East Frisia
