This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 1muntasir (talk | contribs) at 02:47, 14 October 2022. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Wooden buildings which have exceptional heights are in this article listed, starting with the highest wooden structures.

The tallest ever wooden structure was the tower of Mühlacker radio transmitter (190 metres or 620 feet, destroyed in 1945). The tallest standing wooden structure is Gliwice Radio Tower (118 metres or 387 feet).

In a narrower sense these structures are not buildings. The tallest building has been the Sanctuary of Truth, a 105-metre-high (344 ft) temple in Pattaya, Thailand.[1] The previous record holder, the 67-metre-high (220 ft) Pagoda of Fogong Temple, was built 900 years ago.
