The Oldehove was once built to touch the sky. On Tuesday, October 20, you can climb the tower and view the autumn sky above Leeuwarden through a telescope during an evening of stargazing.

About the venue: Oldehove

The Oldehove is a medieval church tower in Leeuwarden that was never completed - construction started in 1529 but was abandoned, leaving the tower with a pronounced lean that rivals Pisa's. It remains one of Friesland's most recognisable landmarks. Visitors can climb the tower for a panoramic view over the city, and the surrounding square regularly hosts festivals and markets.
