Lakihegy Tower, Radio tower in Szigetszentmiklós, Hungary
Lakihegy Tower is a broadcasting facility in Szigetszentmiklós standing 314 meters tall with a distinctive diamond-shaped framework. The structure includes several transmission masts that operate at different frequencies for radio and communications purposes.
The facility was built in 1933 and completely destroyed by German forces during World War II. It was reconstructed in 1946 following the original design plans.
The tower stands as a landmark of radio broadcasting history in Hungary and has shaped the local skyline for generations. People in the area see it as an integral part of their surroundings.
