Historical Centre

In the city centre, the town hall catches the eye: it stands as a proud shrine on the Grote Markt (Market Square). The town hall of Oudenaarde is, just like the town halls of Brussels and Leuven, a perfect example of the Brabantine late Gothic style.

However, Oudenaarde also offers a vast variety of smaller monuments, each telling its own rich and eventful history. There are more than 100 classified monuments in the city centre, many of them located at a very short distance from one another. Not to be missed: the Saint Walburga church, the Kleine Markt (Small Market Square) where the town’s origins are situated, the Hospital of Our Lady, the Beguinage, the Bishop’s Quarter, the Kasselrijhuis...

A town walk takes you to small hidden corners and monuments, with or without a guide !
