Lahti longwave transmitter, Television tower on Radio Hill in Lahti, Finland
The Lahti longwave transmitter is a facility with two steel framework towers, each reaching 150 meters high. The towers are connected by a T-type aerial configuration designed for broadcasting purposes.
The facility was established in 1927 and broadcast on a frequency of 252 kHz. Operations ceased in 1993 as transmission technologies evolved.
The name Radio Hill reflects the site's importance to Finnish broadcasting history. Today, visitors experience it as a landmark that shaped how people received news and entertainment across the country.
The site is now open as a museum where exhibitions and guided tours teach visitors about radio transmission history. It is worth checking ahead for opening times and any access requirements.
The two red and white towers stand roughly 316 meters apart and remain visible from considerable distances. Their placement beside Lake Mytäjäinen makes them a distinctive landmark in the flat landscape.
