Who
was St. Arnold?
St. Arnold is the patron saint of brewers. A monk from a military order, he came from Tiegem, near Oudenaarde, and lived from 1040 to 1087. He became famous as the knight
"Arnulph the Strong of Oudenaarde".
Later, he became a Benedictine monk and founded the Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg, where he began to brew beer due to the impurity of the drinking water.
There are many depictions of St. Arnold with a mashing rake in his hand.
Various miracles are also ascribed to him.
