Oudenaarde - Church of Our Lady of Pamele Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Pamele

The Tussenbruggen leads across the river to the district of Pamele. On the right stands the church of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Pamele, another example of Scheldt-Gothic architecture in Oudenaarde built by Arnulf von Binche, the first Flanders' builder to be known by name; a replica of a bronze plaque on the outside wall of the choir indicates this with the date 1234. The church is distinctive for its tall narrow choir windows, the corner towers of the choir and the octagonal crossing tower.
