Kékestető TV Tower ( Hungarian: Kékes TV-torony) is a 176-metre (577 ft) tall [1] multifunctional transmitter built of reinforced concrete on the 1,014-metre (3,327 ft) high Kékes mountain, Hungary. It is also an observation tower, [1] including a restaurant. [2]
History
The Hungarian Carpathian Association built a 20 m high wooden watchtower at east of the Kékes summit in 1889, what was rebuilt and named after József Vass in 1926, but demolished in 1938. The first 65-meter TV tower, made of andesite, was handed over in 1960. A new 178-meter-high TV tower was built in 1980, and the older one was converted into a hotel (later closed). The new TV tower also functions as a lookout point. [3]
