Like other towns in northern Lower Austria, Gmünd also boasts impressive examples of sgraffito art from the Reformation period. Two gabled houses north of the town hall, originally late Gothic, are particularly noteworthy. One of the houses features depictions from ancient legends on a Renaissance-era facade (around 1570/80). The myths that Ovid treats in his Metamorphoses ("Transformations") served as the model for the depiction. The facade of the neighboring house (around 1565) is somewhat simpler in its decoration, featuring small-scale diamond-shaped decoration, a herringbone pattern, and a frieze of figures. The latter decoration is unique in Austria.

A magical festival in the Blockheide Nature Park. Once a year, the Blockheide forest glows in mystical colors. Artists from all over the world enchant visitors. A visit is worthwhile for the whole family. https://www.blockheide-leuchtet.at/

At Gmünd's old town hall, you'll find the legendary "Schirm-Bar & Café" and the Sonnenplatz'l restaurant! Across the street is the Hopferl restaurant, serving authentic Waldviertel home-style cooking. :-)

Very worth seeing, definitely make a stop

At the highest point in the city, 510 m above sea level, the baroque parish church towers over the settlement. Until the beginning of the 18th century, a Gothic church stood on this site. Construction began in 1713. First, the 54 m high church tower was built, then the current nave was built over the old Gothic parish church. After the outer walls were completed, the old church was torn down. A detailed description of the church and the art treasures can be found at the rear entrance of the church. The cemetery was located all around the church until 1719. There are still some old gravestones on the city wall west of the parish church. https://www.waidhofen-thaya.at/Stadtpfarrkirche

The church is mentioned in documents in 1250 as a branch of the Altpölla parish church. The parish itself was founded in 1296 and united with Altpölla around 1630 - it has been a separate parish again since 1728. The Romanesque choir tower church from the 13th century was rebuilt around 1427 and expanded in 1957 according to the plans of the architect Hans Petermair.
