根特从11世纪开始复兴,到13世纪时,根特已经成为仅次于巴黎的欧洲最大最繁荣的城市之一。城市人口达到65000人。今天仍然矗立在根特市中心的钟楼和圣尼古拉斯大教堂就是根特兴盛时期的建筑遗留。根特的繁荣主要源于羊毛纺织业,由于地处河流的交汇处,根特的很多地域经常遭到水的淹没,形成独特的多草而又潮湿的地域,很适合放牧绵羊。获得的羊毛就用于生产纺织品,随后大量出口到英国,所以在英法百年战争中根特的经济受到了严重的打击。
根特在百年战争之后通过和勃艮第公爵领下的其他属地建立贸易联盟而得到了复苏,但好景不长,过重的税收引起了根特人民的反抗,最终导致了battle of gavere,根特的反抗被镇压,有16000居民死亡。低地国家的中心也从布鲁日-根特为代表城市的弗兰德区转移到安特卫普-布鲁塞尔为代表城市的布拉班特公爵领地。1539年根特发生反抗神圣罗马帝国皇帝和西班牙国王查理五世的根特反抗,查理五世亲临自己的故乡根特进行镇压,并命令根特的贵族赤脚带镣走过他的面前。16世纪末到17世纪,根特因为是加尔文教的城市而卷入神圣战争,被西班牙帝国给予毁灭性打击,并改奉天主教,从此根特失去了国际化商业中心的地位。
