Āgenskalns TV tower

The concrete television tower reaches a height of 110 meters and functions as a central broadcasting facility for Latvian television networks and radio stations.

The tower started operations in 1955 and marked the beginning of regular television broadcasting services throughout the Latvian territory during the Soviet period.

This broadcasting facility contributed to the development of Latvian media by enabling the transmission of local programs and national content to households across the region.

The tower maintains its primary function as a transmission point for television and radio signals, with regular maintenance ensuring continuous broadcasting capabilities.

During the 1991 Soviet coup attempt, OMON troops seized control of the tower for two days, temporarily interrupting all television broadcasts in Latvia.
