Leeuwergem is a village within the municipality of Zottegem. It is located on the Molenbeek, within the Denderstreek and Flemish Ardennes, a hilly region in the southern part of the East Flanders province, Belgium.
Leeuwergem was formerly part of the heerlijkheid of Zottegem. From 1271 onwards, it formed a heerlijkheid with Massemen.[2] It was an independent municipality until 1970, when it was merged into Zottegem.[3]
Leeuwergem and the neighbouring village of Elene are home to the 18th-century Leeuwergem Castle domain, a private estate spanning 32 hectares.[4]
