Sint-Lievens-Houtem ((:sɪnt ˌlivə(n)s ˈɦʌu̯təm), French ''Hautem-Saint-Liévin'', not officially recognized) is a Dutch-speaking municipality of Belgium. It is located in the Denderstreek and at the edge of the Flemish Ardennes, the hilly southern part of the province of East Flanders (Flemish Region). Sint-Lievens-Houtem is crossed by the Molenbeek in Vlierzele, Zonnegem and Letterhoutem. It is named after Saint Livinus (Sint Lieven in Dutch), a Christian saint believed to have been buried there. The town comprises the former municipalities of Bavegem, Letterhoutem, Sint-Lievens-Houtem proper, Vlierzele, and Zonnegem, and the hamlets of Espenhoek, Cotthem, and Hoogveld, formerly parts of Oombergen. In November every year, Sint-Lievens-Houtem holds a winter fair and livestock market, the ''Houtem Jaarmarkt'', at which hundreds of traders sell cattle and horses. In 2010 it was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Houtem Jaarmarkt, annual winter fair and livestock market at Sint-Lievens-Houtem )〕 ==Places of interest== Image:Sint-Lievenis-Houtem - Livinuskapel - België.jpg| Image:St.-Lievens-Houtem Watermolen2.JPG| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sint-Lievens-Houtem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
