Oudenaarde, Historical municipality in East Flanders, Belgium

Oudenaarde is a city on the Scheldt River in East Flanders, Belgium, formed from thirteen merged communities. The city spreads across neighborhoods including Bevere, Eine, and Ename along the river.

The city began in 974 when Emperor Otto II built fortifications to defend against Viking raids. From then on, it grew as a strategic location on the Scheldt River.

The town hall displays tapestries that local craftspeople produced during the Middle Ages. This craft tradition shaped the city's reputation for skilled textile work.

The city has several cultural centers, sports facilities, and schools spread across its area. When exploring, you'll find these amenities distributed throughout the neighborhoods.

The Liefmans Brewery was established here and has brewed a dark beer called Oud Bruin for generations. This beer ages for extended periods, gradually developing its distinctive sour character.
