St. Pieterskerk ( kościół św. Piotra ) - to druga wspaniała budowla przy Grote Markt, dokładnie naprzeciwko ratusza. Budowę kościoła rozpoczęto w 1425 roku. Podobnie jak ratusz budowany w tym samym czasie, kościół również wznoszono, w początkowej fazie pod kierownictwem trzech architektów, kolejno prace prowadzili Sulpitius van Vorst, Jan III Keldermans, Matheus de Layens. W roku 1458 pożar strawił dwie stare romańskie wieże. W 1497 roku budynek był gotowy. Joost Matsys w roku 1505 tworzył nowe ambitne plany budowy trzech centralnych iglic, wznoszących się na wysokość 170 metrów. Spowodowałoby to, że kościół stałby się najwyższą budowlą na świecie. Jednak z powodu zbyt słabych fundamentów pomysł zarzucono. Dzisiaj można jedynie podziwiać przycięte od góry wieże, wznoszące się nad wejściem. Makieta z oryginalnym projektem kościoła znajduje się w południowej nawie. Pomimo tego, że wieża nie jest dokończona znalazła sie na Liście Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.

The church was built on a cruciform plan. It has an impressive length of 93 meters. In the 1914, the fire caused the roof to collapse. The reconstructed roof crowned with a tower, which is in contrast to the eighteenth-century dome better connected stylistically with the rest of the church. 1944 In the northern part of the church it was completely destroyed by a bomb. In 1998 added clockwork in the form of human figures punching hour. It is located on the top of the south transept, above the main southern gate.

One of the oldest buildings is the twelfth-century wooden head, which is the only remnant of the cross burned during the First World War. In the middle of the chancel is the tomb of the Duke of Brabant Henry I died. 1235 of the year (it is the oldest preserved tombstone reigning monarch in the country) and his wife Matilda (d. 1211 r.) And his daughter Marie (d. 1260 r.). Also Godfrey II is buried in the church. In 1998 the sanctuary and infirmary converted into a museum vault. It is here we can admire the finest works of art. These are two triptychs Dirk Bouts (1415 r. - 1475 r.) Flemish primitivist (pupil Rogier van der Weyden), Last Supper (1464 r. - 1468 r.) And the martyrdom of St. Erasmus (1465 r.). Great Bouts paintings depict religious scenes, filled by rigid, delicate figures, giving the impression of outstanding still. Works Bouts resold several times. Eventually, they were sent to a German museum. After World War I, Germany was forced to return the triptych. During World War II he was taken to one of the salt mines, where safely survived the turmoil of war.
The Last Supper painted by Bouts, known as painter of silence It is an absolute masterpiece. He painted them in the 1464 - 1468. We know this for sure because the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament, on behalf of which an image, has drawn up an agreement. Leuven creates a background image in which the scene takes place. Through the window you can see the Grote Markt and construction of the town hall. The central image shows Jesus and his apostles. The side panels show scenes from the Old Testament.

Sint - Geertruikerk - kościół św. Gertrudy budowano
w XIII - XV wieku. Wieża kościoła ma ażurową iglicę uważaną za jeden z siedmiu cudów Leuven, zwaną również wieżą bez gwoździ. W 1796 roku podczas francuskiej okupacji zamknięto opactwo. Po II Wojnie Światowej kościół został uszkodzony, zniszczono też unikatowe stalle. Na szczęście dzięki fotografiom niemieckiego oficera rzeźbiarze odtworzyli stalle, przywracając je do dawnej świetności. Stalle te są jednymi z najpiękniejszych dzieł sztuki w Leuven. Obok kościoła świętej Gertrudy usytuowany jest mały beginaż. Współcześnie odnowione domy zamieszkiwane są przez prywatnych właścicieli. |
