'''Arquennes''' ({{IPA|fr|aʁkɛn|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Madehub-Arquennes.wav}}; {{langx|wa|Årkene}}) is a village of [Wallonia](/source/Wallonia) and a district of the municipality of [Seneffe](/source/Seneffe), located in the [province of Hainaut](/source/Hainaut_Province), [Belgium](/source/Belgium).

The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In 1137, the name appears as Arkenna. During the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages), there was a castle in the village but it has since been destroyed. Until 1800, the village was part of the [Province of Brabant](/source/Province_of_Brabant) but has since been a part of [Hainaut Province](/source/Hainaut_Province). The village has suffered damage several times during the many wars that have ravaged the area throughout history. The village church has a [nave](/source/nave) and [chancel](/source/chancel) from the 16th century, in a Hainaut Gothic style. The tower dates from 1762 to 1764.<ref name=grguide>{{cite book |editor-last= Menne|editor-first= Gilbert|date= 2014|title= Le grand guide de Wallonie et de Bruxelles|location= Brussels|publisher= Racine|pages= 959–960|isbn=978-94-014-1418-0}}</ref><ref name=arquennes>{{cite web |url= https://www.seneffe.be/theme_loisirs/tourisme/office-du-tourisme/arquennes|title= Arquennes|author=<!--Not stated--> |publisher= Seneffe Municipality|access-date= 19 June 2021}}</ref>
