Oudenaarde 1708: a city, a king, a general
On 11 July 1708 Oudenaarde was the battlefield for the major European powers. The confrontation meant the definite end of the power of the French Sun King. The town of Oudenaarde and the Ename Center for Public Archaeology and Heritage Presentation cooperated to mark this important event with a re-enactment (further information on this site) and two exhibitions to bring the Battle of Oudenaarde to life again.
