Grembergen (French: Grembergen-lez-Termonde) is a village in the municipality of Dendermonde[2] in the Denderstreek in the province of East Flanders in Belgium. It is often confused with the municipality of Grimbergen in the province of Flemish Brabant.

Overview

[edit | edit source]

Grembergen was first mentioned in 1019 as Grendberga. During the 13th and 14th century, the village was reasonably prosperous as a centre of lace production. The village was flooded several times.[3]

The old church was destroyed in 1706 by French troops.[3] In 1709, the Saint Margaretha church was built partially from scavenged material of the old church.[4]
