Štramberk, Medieval castle ruins in Štramberk, Czech Republic.

The cylindrical tower named Trúba rises 40 meters high with a diameter of 10 meters, standing as the main preserved structure of the castle complex.

The castle originated in the 13th century as a Gothic fortress, passing through ownership of the Templars and later the Czech king Jan Lucemburský.

The castle tower underwent renovation between 1901 and 1903 under Prague architect Kamil Hilbert, transforming it into an observation point for visitors.

Visitors can access the castle ruins year-round and climb the tower for views across the Moravian-Silesian region from its observation platform.

The castle foundation connects to a legend about dwarves from Devil's Hole cave preventing its construction on the opposite Kotouč hill.
