The Oldehove is a leaning, unfinished brick church tower in the medieval centre of Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Construction of its Late Gothic tower began in 1529, after citizens demanded a tower taller than Groningen's Martinitoren. The tilt appeared during building, and work stopped in 1532 or 1533. The adjoining church was demolished in 1595–1596, leaving the tower standing, which is now a Rijksmonument.
