Oud-Heverlee

Oud-Heverlee is a municipality in Flemish Brabant that brings together five villages: Blanden, Haasrode, Oud-Heverlee, Sint-Joris-Weert, and Vaalbeek. Each village has its own character, from farmland and forests to residential areas and open green spaces.

The municipality was formed by joining together several villages that once operated independently. This merger brought separate communities under one local administration.

The area has deep roots in agricultural traditions and local craft practices that shaped daily life for centuries. These ways of living still show in how people use the land and maintain their communities.

Visitors can access local services during standard opening hours, and it is helpful to plan ahead for official procedures. The area is well connected by road and easy to navigate on foot in each village.

The area is home to several research centers and university facilities that have shaped community life for decades. These institutions draw students and researchers from across Europe, giving the villages an international character.
