Geraardsbergen, Administrative city in East Flanders, Belgium.
The municipality combines several towns within the Denderstreek region, featuring rolling hills, forests, and medieval structures along the Dender River.
Founded in 1068, Geraardsbergen became a strategic point during the 1381 siege when Walter IV of Enghien and his troops attacked the settlement.
The annual krakelingenworp carnival takes place on Oudenberg Hill, where residents celebrate the city's endurance during historical conflicts.
The city maintains public transportation connections to major Belgian cities and provides access to governmental services in the civic centers.
Geraardsbergen houses the original Manneken Pis statue, which existed before the Brussels version, and produces EU-protected mattentaart pastries.
