Leuven, Flemish Brabant, Flanders, Belgium: Leuven’s City Hall or Stadhuis, built between 1448 and 1469 in the Grote Markt or Market Square, is a masterpiece of richly-carved Brabantine Late or Flamboyant Gothic architecture. The gables that close its steep-pitched roof are flanked by octagonal turrets topped with sculpted balconies and crocketed pinnacles, while the turrets are ringed by 19th century statues standing on columns under elaborate carved canopies.
