Park Abbey is considered one of the best-preserved abbeys in Western Europe. Besides the abbey and its church, the complex also includes an estate and extensive grounds with meadows and ponds. Although the abbey largely dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, its history goes back to 1129, when the Duke of Brabant gifted his hunting grounds in Leuven to the Premonstratensians. The Premonstratensians, or Norbertines, were considered wealthy and powerful and were therefore called the "Park Princes." They led a privileged life and devoted themselves to art and literature. The abbey's library once housed a renowned collection of manuscripts and early printed books. The abbots adorned the interiors with works of art, including the stained-glass windows by Jean de Caumont in the cloister and the stucco ceilings by Jan Christiaen Hansche.

Warande Park covers 205 hectares and was once the hunting grounds of the Dukes of Brabant. The park is a stately forest, laid out as a park, encompassing two separate valleys. At the front of the park is a French garden with ponds, flowerbeds, and statues, which extends to a series of ponds fed by the Voer River. It is one of the Flemish gateways to the Sonian Forest. Part of the Sonian Forest is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The forest itself is home to numerous animals. Not only can squirrels and rabbits sometimes be seen up close, but foxes are also becoming increasingly common. The Egyptian goose and the rose-ringed parakeet are true African ambassadors of the park and can be seen, and especially heard, year-round. The nuthatch, the white wagtail and the chiffchaff (in spring and summer) are regular visitors and anyone who visits the Park very early or late in the evening has a good chance, especially in winter, of hearing the tawny owl calling.

The core of Horst Castle probably dates back to the 13th century and is characterised by a square keep. The keep probably belonged to the oldest core that was further expanded into a fortified castle in the 15th century. During the troubles under Maximilian of Austria in 1489, the castle of Horst was taken by the people of Leuven and set on fire. According to literary sources, only the keep, part of the entrance gate and a defensive wall remained standing. The residential and east wing were renovated and expanded in the 16th century. The round tower also dates from this period. The outer wall was provided with a rectangular bay window. The castle lost its military character and became more of a pleasant residential area with a view of the moat, the ponds and the inner courtyard. Brick construction with sandstone layers characterise these buildings. In 1587, however, the castle was set on fire again during the raids of the Geuzen. It was not until the beginning of the 17th century that restoration work began. It is difficult to deduce from the available sources to what extent this involved restoration or an embellishing conversion of the castle complex. Presumably nothing changed in the internal structure, but only after the structurally necessary repairs were the interiors completely refinished. Maria-Anna Van den Tympel had a new chapel built against the keep in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the complex must have been damaged by plundering and neglect, and it is possible that it also suffered from plundering during the Brabant Revolution of 1830. Around 1850, the castle must have been habitable again, but the castle buildings only served as a farm. In the land registry, the site around the castle is called "De Notelaren Boomgaerd". Around that time, the most dilapidated part must have been demolished, namely the southern part and the superstructure of the gate. The rest of the complex was probably restored with reused demolition material and in traditional style. The castle was divided in 1880, with one part being registered as a school house. In 1897, a further division followed, with two plots being designated as houses. Several restoration campaigns followed in the 20th century.

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.

The watermill at Arenberg Castle was probably rebuilt around 1636 on a watermill site known before 1286, which was then equipped with two waterwheels. Major repairs were carried out on the locks around 1722-23 and 1733-35, and images of the mill also indicate modifications to the mill building in the 18th century. Around 1875, the watermill underwent a facade restoration and extension according to the then prevailing views, under the direction of architect Claes. At the same time (1870-80), the mill was equipped with a new bluestone lock and two wooden waterwheels. The waterwheels were replaced by metal wheels at the end of the 19th century, and the locks were also modified in the early 20th century. In 1940, the mill was demolished and the mill was converted into a drawing room; externally the mill was preserved, as well as the lock and the two water wheels.

The first mention of a castle dates from 1371 when it was a heavy keep built by Rasse de Grez, also known as Raes van Graven, a knight who lived from 1368 to 1450 and was lord of Heverlee, Vaalbeek, Bertem, Blanden, Malève and Terbruggen, among other things. The castle was demolished and the domain was ceded to the Croys (family of Croÿ) in 1446. During the first half of the sixteenth century, the reconstruction of the castle was restarted under Guillaume II de Croÿ (Willem II van Croÿ). His successor and nephew, Philip II van Croÿ, had it completed and finished, including a moat. He also had the park laid out and the avenue to Leuven extended. After the death of Charles III of Croÿ in 1612, the castle went via his sister, Anna, to the Dukes of Arenberg who lived there until the First World War. In 1920 the university acquired the domain.
