List of tallest wooden buildings

Several wooden skyscraper designs have been designed and built, with the tallest currently being the Sanctuary of Truth, a 105-meter high temple in Pattaya, Thailand.[1] The previous record holder, the 67-meter high Pagoda of Fogong Temple, was built 900 years ago.

The tallest standing wooden structure is Gliwice Radio Tower (118 metres). The tallest ever wooden structure was the tower of Muhlacker radio transmitter (190 metres, destroyed in 1945).
