In Saargemünd, the Blies flows into the Saar, which is connected to the Rhine-Marne Canal (Canal de la Marne au Rhin) via the Saar Canal.
The city is known for its once flourishing ceramic production. The production site of the old faience factory (stoneware manufacture) located around the former "Wackenmühle" on the Blies has been prepared as a museum and can be visited. It also contains the France and Wolfgang Kermer donation with works by around one hundred French ceramists from the period 1970-2000. After its restructuring, the garden laid out in the former factory area was included in the ensemble of gardens without borders in the greater SaarLorLux region.
Significant buildings date from the Art Nouveau era in particular. A special attraction is the casino on the banks of the Saar. This building is a structure erected for the workers of the faience factory. It contains a hall for cultural events and a restaurant. The facade is decorated with ceramic pictures.
