Zottegem (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈzɔtəɣɛm], Sotteghem and Sottegem in older English and French language sources) is a city and municipality located in Belgium and more particularly in Flanders, in the province of East Flanders. The municipality comprises the town of Zottegem proper and the villages of Elene, Erwetegem, Godveerdegem, Grotenberge, Leeuwergem, Oombergen, Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove, Sint-Maria-Oudenhove, Strijpen and Velzeke-Ruddershove. On 1 January 2018, Zottegem had a total population of 26,373. The total area is 56.66 km2 which gives a population density of 470 inhabitants per km2.[2]
Zottegem is part of the hilly geographical area of the Flemish Ardennes (Vlaamse Ardennen); the hills and cobblestone streets (Paddestraat) are regular locations in the springtime cycle classics of Flanders.
The city is known for its ties with Lamoral, Count of Egmont. Lamoral has an Egmont Castle (Egmontkasteel), an Egmont museum (Egmontkamer) and two Egmont statues in the centre of Zottegem. He is buried in Egmont's crypt (Egmontcrypte) under the church.
Leeuwergem Castle in Elene is an 18th-century stately home. There also the ruins of an 18th-century windmill can be found.[3] Breivelde Castle in Grotenberge is surrounded by an English landscape garden. The archaeological museum of Velzeke exhibits findings from Gallo-Roman culture.
