Bell Tower, Solikamsk, Bell tower from 1713 in Solikamsk, Russia.
The 57-meter-tall stone bell tower stands prominently in the central square of Solikamsk, displaying a noticeable tilt of 1.5 meters from its vertical axis.
Construction began in fall 1713 but faced interruptions during winter, leading to soil erosion that caused the tower to permanently tilt during its completion phase.
The bell tower reflects early 18th-century Russian architectural elements with its octagonal design and multiple chambers adapted to the local topography.
Visitors can climb the tower to access an observation deck offering views of Solikamsk, while the lower levels contain exhibits about regional history.
The structure features an asymmetrical design with two stories on one side and four stories on the opposite side to accommodate the square's sloping terrain.
