Facades in Leuven


The white house with the boat on top is the "Schippershuis" and the one to the right of it ''t Oude Woud"  (Old Forest)

wonderful terraces for people watching, relaxing and enjoying a Belgian beer or something equally delicious
 
"Het Moorinnenken" houses a cafe and restaurant
this building used to be the post office, 
now it is home to the  store " 't Kruidvat"

      only showing you the beautiful and grand part, Judy
      I bet I could show you some Belgian architecture that you'd feel different about -;

    The buildings are fantastic, but what leaped out as me as a linguist was the word 'woud', for forest, which is the same as the old english 'wold'. I intend to take an evening class in Dutch sometime soon!

    De oude steden in Belgie hebben allemaal van die mooie huizen in de binnenstad. Prachtig versierd, ben nog nooit in Leuven geweest, moet ik toch eens gaan kijken.
