Go on a journey into the memory of the Štramberk Tower

Welcome to this exciting journey into the memory of the Štramberk Tower – a journey that will reveal many of Štramberk’s deepest secrets, stored away in the Tower’s memory for over seven centuries as it quietly watches over the town below…

A small mountain town in the middle of the Štramberská vrchovina (Highland), stretching across slopes of Zámecký kopec, Kotouč, Bílá hora, Libotínské vrchy and Červený kámen, along the foothills of the Beskydy Mts., called „Moravian Bethlehem“ for their picturesqueness.
