Leuven Town Hall (Dutch: Stadhuis van Leuven) - Leuven Town Hall, one of the main attractions of the city.The building of the Town Hall was built in the 1440s-1460s. in the style of Brabant late Gothic next to the church of St. Peter. The facade of the town hall is richly decorated with architectural decorations and statues. Biblical scenes are carved on the brackets. In the 19th century, the town hall was restored. But in the 20th century, world wars brought damage to the building. If during the First World War the destruction was relatively small, then after the Second World War repair work in the Leuven Town Hall continued until 1983.
