List of tallest wooden buildings and structures

Wooden buildings that have exceptional heights are listed, starting with the tallest wooden structures. Wooden buildings are having a resurgence, as they are considered to be a climate-friendly alternative to some synthetic materials.

In some cases wooden structures were built as not enough steel was available, in others the non-conductive nature of wood was used. Latter was important for towers, which carried a radio antenna in its structure or for structures used for measurements on antennas.

The tallest recorded wooden structures had been wooden radio masts with heights of up to 220 meters, or 720 feet, constructed in Russia in the first half of the 20th century but they were replaced by steel masts. Data verifying the location of these structures is not readily available. The second highest recorded wooden structure was the tower of the Mühlacker radio transmitter (190 meters or 620 feet, destroyed in 1945). The tallest standing wooden structure is the Gliwice Radio Tower (112 m or 367 ft), located in Gliwice, Poland.
