Stadtbefestigung Gmünd in Kärnten, Medieval city fortifications in Gmünd, Austria.
The fortification system forms a parallelogram shape with outer walls, towers, and gates surrounding the center of Gmünd in Carinthia.
The city walls, constructed between 1240 and 1270, received significant expansions after Gmünd obtained its city rights in 1346.
The fortifications include the Lower Gate tower, the Pankratius Gate, and the Malta Gate, which represent different periods of medieval military architecture.
Guided tours of the fortifications last 75 minutes and require advance reservations for groups of ten or more visitors.
The Amthof, located in the southwestern corner of the city walls, served as a 13th-century castle before transforming through multiple architectural periods.
