Menara Condong Teluk Intan was constructed in 1885 during the British colonial period. The structure was originally designed to serve dual functions as a water tower and a clock tower, supplying water to the local community while also acting as a timekeeping landmark. Over time, the tower began to lean due to soil settlement and underground water extraction, resulting in its distinctive tilted form.

Despite its inclination, the tower has remained structurally stable and continues to retain its original architectural character. The leaning condition has transformed the building into a unique heritage icon, often compared to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As one of the oldest surviving colonial structures in Teluk Intan, Menara Condong holds significant historical value and represents the town’s colonial past, technological development, and early urban infrastructure.
