Round Table, Leuven

Built in 1817, the Round Table is the third most important building situated on the Main Market square. The construction is a traditional building that has been part of the city central square since the 15th Century. The original structure was destroyed in the late 19th Century. However in 1921, the National bank decided to restore and rebuild the original Gothic structure as a meeting place for burghers, guilds and drama societies. The renovation after the First World War brought the old building back to life.
