The Gmunden Rathaus on Rathausplatz is a Renaissance town hall most notable for its ceramic Glockenspiel: carillon bells made from Gmundner Keramik rather than cast metal. The bells play several times daily (typically 10:00, 12:00, and 17:00). Free to visit; always accessible. In central Gmunden, walkable from the Traunsee lakefront. Combine with the Gmundner Keramik manufactory for context on why a town hall has ceramic bells.
