Dendermonde

The municipality of Dendermonde stretches along the Dender and Scheldt rivers, comprising eight districts including Appels, Baasrode, and Grembergen.

The settlement received its city charter in 1233, developing into a textile manufacturing center with defensive walls, churches, and chapels throughout medieval times.

The central market square features the UNESCO-listed Town Hall, housing an art collection and standing as a testament to Flemish architectural design.

The city connects major Belgian transport routes, with regular train services to Brussels, Ghent, and Antwerp operating from Dendermonde railway station.

The decennial Ros Beiaard procession draws thousands of spectators to watch four brothers ride a giant mechanical horse through city streets.
