in Holland is a saying, " Amsterdam is gebouwd op palen" it means "Amsterdam is build on piles". every house has to build on piles. otherwise it will sink in the soft soil.
The buildings in Amsterdam lean due to the city's unique foundation and soil conditions. Many of the structures are built on shallow foundations resting on soft, marshy ground, which can cause them to settle unevenly over time. Additionally, the narrow, tall design of the buildings, often with heavy upper stories, can exacerbate the tilting as they age. This characteristic has become an iconic aspect of Amsterdam's architectural charm.
