The town hall of Leuven is a such a magnificent building. It is the pride of the city and also one of the most famous Gothic town halls in the world. They started building this architectural masterpiece in 1439 and it took 30 years to finish the building. On the facade you can see about 235 statues. In 2009 the city services were relocated and the city hall is now only used for ceremonies

You can discover the building on a guided tour. The guide will tell you about the construction history of this Gothic gem. You will discover the story behind the 235 sculptures on the façade. Afterwards, you can visit the foyer, the large and small Gothic Hall and the council hall.
