Gliwice Radio Station - a radio station complex consisting of three buildings and a wooden transmitting mast entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Silesian Voivodeship and on the list of historical monuments. There is not a single steel nail in the structure. According to current knowledge of wood conservation methods, the tower's lifespan is still estimated at around 15-20 years. The Gliwice radio station was established in 1935. The antenna tower was built by Lorenz A.G. from Berlin-Tempelhof. After the war, the radio station was used by the Polish Post, Telegraph and Telephone. It broadcasted the programme of the Polish Radio Katowice and jammed the waves of Radio Free Europe. In 1956, production of broadcasting equipment began on the radio station site. In 2002 the property was taken over by the local government of Gliwice, which three years later handed the radio station site over to the management of the Gliwice Museum. It is now a branch of that museum: Museum of Radio History and Media Arts - Radio Station Gliwice. The tower is still operational today and serves communicational purposes.
