History

[edit]

Erembodegem was first mentioned in 1146 as Erembaldengem. The first population lived on the Dender and the Roman road Elewijt-Asse-Wervik. From 1227 it was one of the count's proper villages, which later came into the possession of several families. The parish (until 1602 together with Teralfene) was under the patronage of the Affligem Abbey. The foundations of the old church (burned down in 1582 and 1940) were excavated in 1943.^[1]
