A hidden gem in the heart of Oudenaarde, this serene Beguinage. The red-painted gatehouse bears the image of the plague saint, Saint Roch. Behind the gate awaits a tranquil world of whitewashed houses (some dating back to the 17th century) and a neo-Gothic chapel. Time seems to stand still here: perfect for a short break during your walk. Let the peace and simplicity of this place sink in.

Oudenaarde, pearl of the Flemish Ardennes. Home of the Koppenberg and the Center Tour of Flanders. But did you know that Oudenaarde also has a beguinage? Walk through the stately gate, flanked by the plague saint, Saint Roch, and discover the white-painted 17th-century houses. In this oasis of peace you can enjoy the attractive courtyard gardens full of plants and flowers. You can visit the beguinage freely during the day.
