The bell tower of Lipník nad Bečvou is the only one in Moravia that has been preserved in its original late Renaissance form. From May 1 to September 30, it is accessible exclusively as part of a guided city tour. To this day, the Piarist College retains its 18th-century layout with two courtyards and a monumental façade.
