Vännäs TV Tower

Vännäs Municipality, Sweden

The 44th tallest tower in the world

323 m · 1,060 ft

Vännäs TV Tower (Swedish: Vännäsmasten) is a Swedish concrete television tower that has a mast on top. It is used for transmitting FM-/TV-broadcasting. The Vännäs TV Tower resembles the Gerbrandy Tower in IJsselstein, the Netherlands. They both are a concrete tower with a steel mast on top that is guyed to the ground. The Gerbrandy Tower is 367 m (1, 204 ft) tall, while the Vännäs Tower is shorter at 323 m (1, 060 ft) tall. Vännäs TV Tower was close to collapsing due to heavy icing in 1988. They managed to save the tower by spraying hot water and glycol from a helicopter.
