The Leuven town hall is usually identified with the richly decorated late Gothic wing on the Grote Markt. However, this is part of a larger complex that covers the entire block between the Grote Markt, Naamsestraat, Muntstraat and Boekhandelstraat. The various parts of the complex are arranged around a courtyard, the Vrijthof. On the east side is the oldest part of the town hall complex: the rear house, built by Sulpitius van Vorst and Jan II Keldermans between 1439 and 1445. The famous wing on the Grote Markt is the front house, built from 1448 to 1469 under the direction of Matthijs de Layens. The attached conservation house on the Naamsestraat was built in 1461. The southern half of the complex consists of more recent additions. On the Naamsestraat extends the Deanery of the Cloth Weavers, built in 1680 after the university had completely occupied the old cloth hall. The wing on the Muntstraat dates from 1938. The police station on the Grote Markt and Boekhandelstraat was built as a corps de garde in 1821-1822.

Oude Marktは、何十年にもわたり、あるいはそれ以上にわたり、多くの飲食店があり、ルーヴェンの夜の学生生活の中心地として知られていますが、文字通りの意味でも「古い市場」です。 実際、Oude Marktは古くからこの街の市場の中心でした。12世紀からは最初の市庁舎がここにあり、その近くにはパン・穀物会館と織物会館がありました。15世紀半ばにMathieu de Layensによって現在の市庁舎が建設され、聖ペテロ教会の向かいに新しい広場「cleyn mercte」が整備されると、最初の広場は「Grote Markt」という名称になりました。16世紀になってようやく「oude markt」という言葉が登場し、より新しい「cleyn mercte」は、かなり非論理的にGrote Marktと改名されました。その後、Oude Marktは、軍事的な展示にも使用されていたため、GraanmarktやParademarkt、あるいはWapenplaatsとしても断続的に言及されるようになりました。 文化遺産インベントリ：Oude Markt、https://id.erfgoed.net/themas/1040

Park Abbey in autumn.

Supposedly the longest pub mile in Europe.

Impressive square in Leuven, dominated by the town hall.

Here we enter the Park Abbey heritage site with a story that began centuries ago in 1129. The Premonstratensians have inhabited the domain since then to this day. The site has been beautifully preserved and restored and is buzzing with activity. The building complex, including a tithe barn, a coach house, farm buildings and a guest quarters, is located amid green meadows and water. PARCUM, the Museum and expertise center for religious art and culture, is highly recommended. You will learn more about the impressive abbey history and you will also discover hidden heritage from churches, abbeys and monasteries. In Brasserie De Abdijmolen you can enjoy delicious food and the view of the ponds in the restored water mill. Who knows, during your passage you may be treated to the chimes of the Peace Carillon, the world's largest musical instrument located in the church tower of Park Abbey.

Leuven's Grote Markt is one of the oldest and most historic places in the city. The square has existed in its current form since the 14th century, when the Catholic University of Leuven was founded. Most of the buildings on the square were built in Brabant Gothic, including the monumental town hall. Other notable buildings on the Grote Markt are the Tafelrond and the Collegiate St. Peter's Church. The square is a busy tourist spot in Leuven, but is traffic-free.
