Leuven Town Hall, Gothic town hall in Grote Markt, Leuven, Belgium.
The Leuven Town Hall presents a symmetrical arrangement of turrets, pointed Gothic windows, and a steep roof with octagonal turrets allowing light passage.
Construction of the Town Hall occurred between 1439 and 1469, involving three architects: Sulpitius Van Vorst, Jan Keldermans II, and Matheus de Layens.
The facade displays 236 statues added after 1850, featuring local historical figures, patron saints, and the Counts of Leuven and Dukes of Brabant.
The building stands 1.1 kilometers from the train station and remains accessible by bus routes that stop at Rector De Somerplein in central Leuven.
The structure incorporates cellars from demolished medieval houses, which visitors can view through a small door on the side of the building.
