Björnerödspiggen, Television and observation tower in Vännäs, Sweden.

The Björnerödspiggen tower measures 323 meters in height and includes a concrete base structure with a steel mast mounted on the upper section.

The construction of Björnerödspiggen tower started in the late 1950s and reached completion in 1960, marking a milestone in Swedish broadcasting infrastructure.

The tower functions as a central broadcasting point for television and FM radio signals, connecting Swedish communities through media transmission.

The facility maintains restricted access protocols due to its classification as critical telecommunications infrastructure, with specific security measures in place.

In 1988, the tower required emergency intervention when severe icing threatened its structure, leading to an operation involving helicopter-sprayed hot water and glycol.
