Udekem

Since the engagement of Prince Filip to Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, now Princess Mathilde, everyone in Belgium knows the name Udekem, but you won't find the place on a map of Belgium. Udekem was a domain in Corbeke in Flemish Brabant. That's the origin of the House of Udekem. For centuries, the family has had a connection with Leuven: geographically, politically, familially. Therefore, we can speak of the House of Udekem from Leuven. You will learn more about its history on this site.
