Strážnice experienced its greatest expansion in the 16th century under the rule of the Zierotins and became one of the most important Moravian towns at that time. The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected as an urban monument zone. The town is known for the Strážnice Castle and for an ethnographic open-air museum.
