Sculptures and Statues in Leuven

It is home to InBev and to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest Belgian university, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence.

That's why many statues in Leuven are dedicated to the students life, science and the university itself. Probably the most known statue in Leuven is Fonske. Fonske is the most famous rendez-vous point for students.

The town hall

The coat of arms

Hi Joachim,

A very nice collection of images and stories, they remind me of my time as a student in Leuven. I was very impressed too by your collection of 3D models. Nice work!
