The Church of Our Lady of Pamele stands by the Scheldt as one of Oudenaarde's key Gothic landmarks. Its tall tower and clean stone lines give the riverside a vertical accent, quite different from the ornate civic drama of the town hall.
It is a natural stop on a walk through Oudenaarde's historic centre, especially if you are interested in how a compact Flemish town layers churches, guild wealth, river trade, and textile history. The exterior is strong even when the church is closed.
