RTCN Białystok, Telecommunications tower in Krynice, Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.
The RTCN Białystok tower stands 331 meters tall with multiple antenna arrays positioned at various heights to transmit television and radio signals across northeastern Poland.
Construction of this broadcasting facility began in 1996 by Mostostal Zabrze, replacing an earlier 226-meter mast that had served regional communications since 1962.
The tower represents Poland's post-1990s modernization of media infrastructure, serving as a vital link for national television channels and regional radio programming reaching rural communities.
The facility operates DVB-T multiplexes at frequencies of 482 MHz, 674 MHz, and 698 MHz, transmitting with powers up to 100 kW to ensure reliable reception across the region.
At 331 meters in height, this structure became Poland's seventh tallest building after the collapse of the Warsaw radio mast, which previously held the European height record.
