“Le Petit Bruges”
Oudenaarde was founded in 1030. Allthough according
to legend the first Roman outpost that set the foundation
for Oudenaarde was founded in 441.
Later Oudenaarde would be a centre of commerce due
to it’s location next to the river ‘Schelde’ and it’s canals.
Hence the nickname “Le Petit Bruges”.
The main export product of Oudenaarde were fabric and
tapestries. They are still well known around the world.
It still has a historical centre combined with a modern lifestyle.
