Strumień is one of the smallest towns in Silesia. However, it was granted city at the turn of the fifteenth and since then, it has always been a town. Despite many natural disasters that have affected Strumień, the town has preserved a historic urban layout comprising the market square, streets extending from its corners, a nice town hall, and stylish, small townhouses. With the nearby church of Saint Barbara, the town as a whole has an urban-rural character.
