The Transmitter Tower is the monument of industrial history of the Hungarian Radio in Lakihegy. The tower with its 314 meters height and architectural solution has become popular in the beginning of the previous century all over Europe.
The ironwork was made in the Hungarian State Iron-, Steel- and Machinefactory, with Károly Masszányi’s control.
At the time it was erected, it was the highest building in the world. It had radiated the programme of the Radio Bp1. until 1944 when it was blown up. It was rebuilt in 1946, and was manifested as an industrial monument in 1985.
