Sint-Pieterskerk

Description

Saint Peter's Church (Sint-Pieterskerk) in Leuven (Vlaams-Brabant), Belgium, is a prime example of Brabantine Gothic architecture. Construction began in the 15th century, with notable architects such as Sulpitius van Vorst, Jan II Keldermans, and Matthijs de Layens contributing to its design. The church was intended to feature three imposing towers, including a central spire reaching approximately 170 meters. However, due to unstable ground and financial constraints, these plans were abandoned, and the towers remain incomplete. Inside, the church houses significant artworks, including "The Last Supper" by Dirk Bouts and a 12-meter-high sacrament tower designed by de Layens.
