A walled and hedged cemetery surrounds the parish church. The brick cemetery wall on a natural stone plinth is capped with a bluestone coping stone. Both the iron gates above the brick wall and the entrance gate hang from brick gate pillars with a bluestone capping. A pedestrian passageway runs to the left and right of the entrance gate. An undated natural stone cross has been incorporated into the north wall. The historic cemetery contains a series of gravestones from the interwar and postwar periods. They are designed in a sober Art Deco and Modernist style. The gravestones evolve from bluestone to (multicolored) composite stone, mosaic, synthetic material, natural stone, and granite, thus demonstrating the shift in material use between 1960 and 1980. Several epitaphs are placed on marble slabs. Near the entrance is a plot dedicated to Belgian veterans, marked by identical bluestone crosses bearing the Belgian flag. The cemetery expansion, dating from the 1990s, primarily includes granite headstones. The flowerbeds are bordered by clipped hedges and clipped hornbeam volumes. The shift towards ash burials is clearly visible in the newly created scattering meadow and urn vaults.

Church built of sandstone; the floor plan unfolds with a west tower, three naves of three bays, a projecting transept, and a long choir ending in a three-sided apse. Square Gothic tower with three stories dating from the second half of the 13th century; ground floor covered with heavy rib vaults resting on roughly worked corbels; pointed arch towards the nave; upper floor perhaps formerly equipped with a tribune (currently in neo-style); bell storey with decorated sound holes in the east and south facades; rectangular, partially renovated wall openings in the other sides; oculus from the 18th century and neo-Gothic portal on the south side. Nave and transept from the same period, covered with a steep roof in late Gothic style (16th century); brick vaulting in the transepts, but wooden pointed barrel vaulting in the nave. Light corner buttresses against the shouldered gables of the transept arms; the arcade and northeast half-column are possibly older and built together with the choir. Western choir bay covered with a pointed barrel vault (late 15th century); closed-off and blind eastern section in a less developed Gothic style (13th or 14th century), partially rebuilt of iron sandstone in large and regular bond; new window in the north; the date 1731 on the choir apse probably indicates a restoration. Furniture. In the transepts, paintings by Verhaghen (late 18th century); Romanesque baptismal font decorated with four heads (12th century) and a Gothic holy water font (16th century).

January 29, 2026, Stella Artois Brewery

The Stella Artois brewery is located in the heart of Leuven. In the city registers of Leuven, we find a record of excise duties for the Den Hoorn brewery as early as 1366. It was at this brewery that Sébastien Artois became master brewer on June 13, 1708. His name thus became inextricably linked to the brewery and the city of Leuven. In 1926, the Artois brewery launched a Christmas beer, following the tradition of the time. It was called "Stella," the Latin word for "star." The beer was such a success that the brewer decided to market it permanently. Our Stella Artois still exists today. The horn and the year 1366 are still mentioned in the logo, references to the beer's origins. Click on the map at https://ab-inbev.be/ with the breweries, select the one for Leuven, and you will find this text with a photo and directions to the brewery.
