Leuven's university library, burned down by the Germans in World War I, was rebuilt as a war memorial in 1928 thanks to donations from numerous high schools and colleges, most of them from the USA.
Check out the inviting reading room - made of wood from the floor to the shelves. In the nearby 73.5-meter-high bell tower hang 63 bells with a total weight of 35 tons. Are you fit? Then climb the almost 300 steps to the top to enjoy the great view of the city.
In the square in front: a work of art by Jan Fabre.

The building was also designed by an American architect, Whitney Warren. He made it a neo-Renaissance work. In 1928 it was finished and donated by the American people to the city of Leuven and the KU Leuven.
