"art_desc_F6LL5KYT7S77i6WNHSx8oz19UqcjnwPTgoVpVdtykw4M_3PHFAavxj2ePJqFB46H2aRGA7oQL6kz1rJJ": "Leuven's town hall is one of the most famous gothic town halls in the world and is located on the Grote Markt of Leuven.
The plans for the town hall of Leuven are based and inspired by the town hall of Bruges. Bruges' town hall is one of the oldest in Belgium and, in addition to that of Leuven, served as a model for the town hall of Oudenaarde, Brussels and Ghent, among others. For the stones, use was made of Lediaan stone from quarries such as De Helle in Dilbeek. [1]
The town hall has three floors. There are two niches between the windows, which protrude slightly. Three of the four corner towers also have niches. The corbels are sculpted representations from the Bible. The recurring topic is guilt and penance. They had a teaching and admonishing function. Most of it was replaced during the first restoration in the nineteenth century; however, the original corbels remain in the attic of the town hall."
