Jan Jindřich, the brother of Emperor Charles IV, founded in the mid-14th century a small town with an oblong town square under an older castle. Dated from the Middle Ages (13th century) the watchtower Trúba with a clock tower and remains of fortifications have preserved. The town square is framed with houses in the Baroque and the Classicist styles and two interesting historical suburbs with folk wooden houses, situated on the slope under the castle hill. The sweets “Štramberk ears” are the local speciality baked as a reminder of the Turkish besiege. On the foothill of the opposite hill Kotouč is located the cave Šipka, well known by archaeological finds of a Neanderthal child’s jaw and various tools of the Early Stone Age.
