Universiteitsbibliotheek en bibliotheektoren
University library
👍👍 Today, I took my 3-year-old child to visit the Universiteitsarchief KU Leuven . The most interesting thing was that we climbed the tower together. The process of climbing the tower was very meaningful. It took 40 minutes in the library and the ticket was 7 euros. The conductor is very patient.

It would be a surprise whenever you come.

Deze torenspits, ontworpen door Jan van Ruysbroeck, valt op doordat hij helemaal opengewerkt is: men kijkt dwars door het stenen g...
