The Town Hall is Oudenaarde’s landmark and a real testament to the grandeur of late Brabant Gothic architecture. It is located at the market square, in the heart of city.

In 1525 the city council commissioned Hendrik van Pede, a master builder from Brussels, to create a new town hall. A year later construction of Oudenaarde's Town Hall began, which took ten years. It is attached to the 14th-century Cloth Hall and has a 16th-century 40-meters high Belfry (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The building has six floors and is considered a masterpiece of Brabant Gothic.

Nowadays the Oudenaarde Town Hall houses the MOU Museum, exhibiting famous tapestries and silverware.
