Leuven's Sacred Sites
Leuven’s religious landscape spans centuries of architectural evolution, from the 15th-century Brabantine Gothic of St. Peter's Church to the grand Jesuit Baroque facade of Sint-Michielskerk. The city is home to significant monastic complexes like the Premonstratensian Park Abbey and the UNESCO-listed Groot Begijnhof. Notable sites include the medieval Sint-Jacobskerk, which blends Romanesque and Gothic styles, and Sint-Geertruiabdij, famous for its stone tower built without a single nail.
