Sint-Lievenscollege, Catholic educational complex in Ghent, Belgium
Sint-Lievenscollege incorporates several educational levels, from elementary to secondary schools, within an 18th-century mansion built in Louis XV architectural style.
The institution opened its doors on October 2, 1865, with 24 pupils in the former residence of Ghent mayor Philippe Piers de Raveschoot.
The institution changed from French to Dutch language instruction in 1936, reflecting the broader cultural shifts in Belgian education during that period.
The school facilities include a chapel designed by architect Marc Dessauvage and sports grounds at the Nachtegaalstadion area acquired in 1967.
The college management transitioned from religious to secular leadership in 2003, marking a fundamental change in its administrative structure.
