Minsk TV tower, Television tower in Central District, Minsk, Belarus.

Minsk TV Tower is a lattice steel structure on Kommunisticheskaya Street near Victory Square. Its current height is 176 m, down from an original 200 m. At about 160 m sits a 20 m platform made of eight five-ton petals carrying antennas for radiotelephone communication. The building at its base houses the editorial offices of the TV channels ONT and STV.

The tower was built between 1954 and 1956 during post-war reconstruction and marked the start of modern broadcasting in Belarus. The project was part of Soviet efforts to rebuild the nation after World War II.

The tower transmitted its first color television broadcast on October 6, 1967, when only five color TV sets existed in the entire city of Minsk.

The tower stands at Kommunisticheskaya 6, next to the building that houses the editorial offices of the ONT and STV channels. The 20-meter platform at about 160 meters is an antenna mount, not open to visitors, so the structure is seen from outside. It is near Victory Square in the Central District.

On the morning of 13 July 1976 a Mi-10K helicopter hovered over the tower while fitters fixed cables, then carried the detached section to a site near Komsomolskoye Lake. The Moscow crew included F. Belushkin, N. Seliverstov, G. Provalov and engineer A. Chubarev. A 20-metre platform of eight five-tonne petals was then mounted at about 160 metres.
