Abdij van Park, Leuven

Founded in 1129, the park is one of the oldest and most amazing pieces of ecclesiastical architecture in Leuven. It is a special patrimonial estate with a large green land and it was Geoffrey the Bearded who owned this area as parkland and began the original building on this place. In coming centuries, the design of the construction has changed again and again, with Gothic, Romanesque and Classical influences being bestowed upon it.
