# List of tallest wooden buildings

Wooden buildings that have exceptional heights are listed in this article, starting with the highest wooden structures. Wooden buildings are having a resurgence, as they are considered to be a climate-friendly alternative to some synthetic materials.
The tallest recorded wooden structures were wooden radio masts with heights of up to 220 meters, or 720 feet, that had been realized in Russia in the first half of the 20th century but then were replaced by steel ones, data verifying the location of these structures is not readily available. The second recorded wooden structure was the tower of the Mühlacker radio transmitter (190 meters or 620 feet, destroyed in 1945). The tallest standing wooden structure as of now is the Gliwice Radio Tower (111 m or 364 ft), located in Gliwice, Poland.
