There are many leaning towers in the world. For example, the famous tower in Pisa, which is 56.6 meters tall, has a deviation of 3.9 meters. Its construction took a long time and was done in stages.

The Neyvanskaya Tower was built in just three years and exceeds the height of the Pisa Tower. Modern architects classify it as leaning, not falling. The reasons for the tower's tilt are explained by several theories.

Most likely, the tilt occurred either by the architect's design or due to a mistake during construction. The architects tried to correct an error made during the foundation laying. The tower was built near the shoreline of a pond, not far from the Neiva River, and because of this, the structure settled and began to lean. To compensate for the tilt, further construction was carried out with a lean in the opposite direction, maintaining the center of gravity.

On the third floor in the 18th century, there was a laboratory where remnants of silver and gold were later discovered. This floor raises many controversial theories. The walls are covered in soot, and traces of gold and silver have been found in the corners. Historians suggest that counterfeit money may have been minted in the Neyvanskaya Tower.

One floor above is the "listening" room with excellent acoustics. The ceiling in this room is vaulted and slightly flattened. Even the whisper of two people standing apart can be heard clearly. There is a theory that the room was specifically designed for eavesdropping.

On the seventh and eighth floors are the chimes with musical strikes, created by the clockmaker Richard Phelps, who was invited from England.

On the roof of the Neyvanskaya leaning tower, the world's first lightning rod was installed, with its grounding located on the spire. It likely served as protection against lightning during storms. If scientists' assumptions are correct, this invention predates the first known creation of a lightning rod by twenty-five years.
