Saint Peter’s Church, Leuven (must see)

Being one of the oldest in the town, the church was built in 986, but the first structure was burned in 1776. Shortly after that the present building was built, and it was much larger than the Romanesque church started in 1425, which contains some of the treasures of the religious town within it. Situated in the very heart of Leuven, on the principal market square, the edifice has a Brabantine Gothic influence and the parterre has the shape of a cross with a low bell tower that has never been completed. Outside the building, you can admire the choir with seven radiating chapels.
