It is the seat of the Belgian branch of the House of Limburg-Stirum.

It has a football club called VK Huldenberg, which was created from a fusion of the clubs FC Huldenberg and VK Rode.[2]

Every Tuesday there is a market from 8h - 13h. This market is located at the Gemeenteplein, near town hall.

At the end of WW II, Mary Churchill, daughter of the British prime minister, was a member of a British all-women anti-aircraft battery 481 that was stationed at Huldenberg for three months. She was entertained by the then burgomaster of Huldenberg, Count Thierry de Limburg Stirum and his wife Marie,[3] née Princess of Croÿ. She found the local people very friendly and helpful and also noted ("somewhat priggishly" she admitted) "...the flouting by all of and sundry of whatever regulations existed here, and the wide-spread use of the flourishing 'black market'. This had been regarded as almost a 'patriotic duty' during the occupation, but it was still going on now - apparently unrestrained."[3]

Huldenberg selbst entstand im 13. Jahrhundert und liegt am Fluss IJse. Die weiteren Ortsteile liegen an der Dijle und der Laan. Das Gemeindegebiet erstreckt sich über zwei Täler und die Landschaft ist demzufolge sehr abwechslungsreich und auch hügelig.
