Ottenburg is a village in the municipality of Huldenberg in the province of Flemish Brabant, Belgium, close to the language border.[1][2] The prehistoric earthwork, a long barrow known as de Tomme, is located here, identified in 2021 by archaeologists as the oldest such monument known in the Low Countries.[3]
During the period of French occupation (1795–1815), Ottenburg was known as Ottenbourg and was in the department of the Dyle.[4]
Paul Splingaerd (1842–1906), who became a mandarin in China, lived in Ottenburg in his youth.[1]
