Guided walk: Leuven city cemetery

Guided walk in Leuven along the city cemetery. Discover a special place full of heritage, nature and stories about farewells, remembrance and city history.... De Stadsbegraafplaats van Leuven Op de Stadsbegraafplaats of Leuven we meet people who helped shape the history of the city: mayors, war victims, comrades who lost their lives during the bloody night, star children, but also people who donated their bodies to science. During this Blik Historik guided tour, we explore this special place where mourning, tranquility and nature come together. We discover how the cemetery was laid out, what choices were made in its design and how it evolved over time. At the same time, we pause to reflect on the social history that is tangibly present here. We walk past impressive grave chapels, memorial monuments and special resting places. Together they tell the story of Leuven: a city of workers and professors, of social struggle and scientific progress, of personal loss and collective memory.
