The Torenvalk Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Meerdaal Forest and the Heverlee Forest, you'll find the observation tower called De Torenvalk. It's named after one of the birds you can observe here—the kestrel. A giant wooden specimen by artist Ad Wouters greets you.

A remarkable church with a picturesque interplay of volumes, composed of a west tower, three naves of three bays supported by columns, a projecting transept, and a two-bay deep choir with a polygonal end.
