Due to absence of significant historical architectural structures Stryi is not considered a tourist city. There was, however, a castle, but it was dismantled in the early 19th century. Although the name of the city is widely known in Ukraine, as the Stryiska Street exist in many large cities, including Lviv and Kyiv.
The heyday of Stryi was in the late 17th century, when it was supported by king Jan Sobieski III. However, in 1886 a fire destroyed 75% of all buildings of that period. The most interesting object today is the 15th century Gothic church. However, the city has a lot of buildings and villas of the early 20th century.
