Gmünd claims to be "The Artists Town Gmünd". There are museums and galleries here and different workshops and courses are offered. There is even studio for an "artist in residence", who gets invited to live and work in Gmünd for a certain time.

The ruins of the Burg Gmünd (Castle Gmuend) tower over the town. For seven years the castle was held by troops of Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus during the Austrian-Hungarian War. The infamous troops looted and plundered the area and were dubbed "Renner und Brenner" locally. During the Carinthian Peasant Revolt in 1478, the castle was besieged, though not captured. It got restored and enlarged but devastated by a fire in 1886.

The Karner, neighbouring the Gothic parish church auf "Gmünd in Kärnten" - and the town wall, was erected in the second half of the 12th century.
