Leuven Town Hall | A dreamy journey through the Middle Ages

| A dreamy journey through the Middle Ages. 🎈Leuven Town Hall | A dreamy journey through the Middle Ages✨ A super beautiful place - the Town Hall of Leuven, Belgium! 🎉 The first time I went to Leuven, I was shocked by the sight in front of me as soon as I walked to Grote Markt in the city center 😲. The Leuven Town Hall is like a noble wearing a gorgeous dress, standing there steadily, exuding a charming charm. This Gothic building, built in 1439 - 1469, is really amazing! 👍 Its facade is simply a beautiful work of art, covered with intricate and delicate hand-carved figures, said to be 236 in total! These statues depict various historical and religious figures, as if telling people the story of Leuven. 👀 I went closer to see that every detail of the carving is very well handled. The expressions, costumes, and even the hair of the characters are lifelike. I really admire the craftsmen at that time. Their craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! 👏 The front facade of the town hall is divided into three levels, each of which is beautifully decorated. The spires and flying buttress structures at the top are full of medieval atmosphere, making people feel as if they have traveled back to that ancient era. Imagine that hundreds of years ago, people were handling municipal affairs in this building. Isn't it a sense of historical weight? 😉 Walking inside the town hall is even more eye-catching. Murals and wood carvings complement each other, and art and history are perfectly combined. The murals on the walls are brightly colored. Although they have experienced the baptism of time, they still maintain their style. Those wood carvings are also very delicate, and each pattern has a unique meaning. Here, you can feel a strong cultural atmosphere, as if you are in a palace of art. 🎨 I heard that Leuven Town Hall is also a popular place for weddings! It only costs EUR 25 to hold a romantic wedding here, which is so wonderful to think about. It is really enviable to make a lifelong promise with your loved one in such a gorgeous building! 😍 Moreover, the wedding is said to be personally presided over by the mayor or district chief, which is too impressive! Leuven Town Hall is not only a city landmark, but also an important part of Belgian cultural heritage. It is open to tourists and there are guided tours available. Non-resident tickets are only EUR 4, and you can listen to the guide's explanation and learn more about the history and culture of this building, which is really worth it. 🤗
