St. Peter's Church, Leuven

The church exhibits a cruciform floor plan with incomplete towers and stands directly opposite the Town Hall of Leuven, forming the city center focal point.

Construction of the current structure began in 1425 and continued for over fifty years, with multiple architects including Sulpitius van Vorst and Jan II Keldermans.

The interior contains the Last Supper painted by Dirk Bouts between 1464 and 1468, displayed in its original chapel location for nearly 600 years.

Visitors can access the church daily between 10:00 and 16:30, with extended hours on Sundays, and parking facilities are available at Ladeuzeplein.

The church features an innovative exhibition system using Hololens technology, allowing visitors to view 3D representations of the architectural and artistic elements.
