1. Hanging Temple, China
The Hanging Temple or Hanging Monastery is located on a cliff about 75 meters high in the Heng Mountain area in Shanxi Province. The structure was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-557) and has a history of more than 1400 years.




2. Liechtenstein Castle, Germany



Liechtenstein Castle is located on a cliff in the Swabian Alb, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, at an altitude of 817 meters. Historically, an old castle was located there, but it collapsed after damage during the war in 1311 and was rebuilt by Duke Wilhelm Urach in 1840-1842.

3. Takasugi, Japan



Takasugi literally translates to "tea room built too high." It is located in Nagano, Japan, on top of two chestnut trees. Architect Terunobo Fujimori designed and built this one-bedroom structure for his own use.

4. Astra Tower, Germany



Built in the mid-13th century, this church tower in Hamburg, Germany has a 27.43-meter-high spire made of oak that was added to the structure in 1450. Since then, the spire has begun to tilt due to humidity.

5. Sutyagin House, Russia



The Sutyagin House was a wooden house built by Russian businessman Nikolai Petrovich Sutyagin over a period of 15 years, starting in 1992. In 2008, the tower was recognized as a fire hazard and part of it was demolished by local authorities. The remaining four floors burned to the ground on May 6, 2012.

6. Puerta de Europa, Spain



This hotel is located in Madrid, Spain, Puerta de Europa, and is a structure made up of two identical, sloping towers. The structure was built between 1989 and 1996 as part of a joint project between American and Spanish architectural firms. Each building has 26 floors and a height of 114 meters with a slope of 15 degrees.

7. Meteora Monastery, Greece



Meteora in Greek literally means "floating in the air". The Monastery of Meteora is a medieval monastery and one of the largest and most important complexes of Orthodox monasteries in Greece. Perched atop towering natural rock formations, 24 monasteries were built in the 15th century, despite incredible difficulties.

8. WoZoCo Garden City, Holland



Built between 1994 and 1997, the garden city west of the Dutch capital Amsterdam, WoZoCo has been a private home for over 55 years. The original plan was limited to the number of apartments to 87 units in a single block. However, demand has pushed that number up to 100 units. In order to save land resources, 13 additional units were attached to the façade to the north of the main structure.

9. Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy



The world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa is second on this list. This is the bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known for its unintentional tilt to one side. Construction of the tower began in 1173. However, just five or six years later, the tower began to lean to the southeast, which was caused by soft ground on one side. At the moment, the angle of inclination of the 16,000-ton tower has become more dangerous.

10. Capital Gate, UAE



Capital Gate is a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It was designed with an inclination of 18 degrees to the west, which is almost five times greater than the slope of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It has a height of 160 meters and 35 floors.
