Leuven - Sint-Gertrudiskerk

To the north of Grote Markt, between Mechelstraat and the Dijle, set back is the 14th and 15th C. Gothic Sint-Gertrudiskerk. The tower and a chapel were destroyed in the 1944 air raids and the superb choir stalls, of a transitional style between Gothic and Renaissance, were buried under the rubble. They have been restored and are now in the new church built in 1953.
