Štramberk Trúba: the medieval tower overlooking Moravia

The Trúba Tower of Štramberk is one of the most iconic medieval landmarks of the Czech Republic. Standing on top of Kotouč Hill, it dominates the small town of Štramberk in the Moravian region and remains the main vestige of the former castle that protected this area since the late 13th century.

Originally built as a watchtower and defensive structure, the Trúba was part of the fortification system that controlled trade routes and access to northern Moravia. Its cylindrical stone design, both solid and highly visible, gave its guardians a privileged position to survey the surroundings and safeguard the settlement.

Over the centuries, the castle fell into ruin, but the main tower was preserved as a symbol of the town. At the end of the 19th century, restoration work enabled the Trúba to be adapted as a viewing platform. From its top, visitors enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of Štramberk, the Beskydy Mountains, and the Moravian countryside.

Today, the Trúba Tower is not only an architectural landmark but also a cultural and tourist icon of the region. Its silhouette dominates the urban landscape of Štramberk and attracts visitors interested in medieval history, defensive architecture, and the local legends that surround the vanished castle.

The monument embodies the memory of a past of fortresses and knights while serving as a meeting point for those who wish to discover the charm of Moravia.
