St Peter’s Church is a historic parish church in Leven with origins dating back to the medieval period. The church suffered serious damage in both WW1 and WW2 and much of the current structure reflects later rebuilding. But it remains an important local landmark with connections to the area’s early Christian heritage.
Saint Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Leuven, Belgium, built in the 15th century in the Brabantine Gothic style. The church has a cruciform floor plan and a low bell tower that has never been completed. It is 93 metres (305 ft) long. It is located on the city's Grote Markt, opposite the Town Hall. In 1999, the belfry and bell tower of the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France site, in recognition of the civil importance and architecture of the belfries in the region.
