Leuven (French: Louvain, often used in English, German: Löwen) is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in the Flemish Region, Belgium. It is located 26 km (16.16 mi) east of Brussels and 27 km (16.78 mi) by expressway from Brussels Airport (Zaventem). Other neighboring cities are Mechelen, Aarschot, Tervuren, Tienen, and Wavre. The township comprises the historic city of Leuven and the former municipalities of Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, a part of Korbeek-Lo, Wilsele and Wijgmaal. The earliest mention of Leuven ('Loven') is from 891 when a Viking army was defeated by the Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia (see: Battle of Leuven). According to the city legend, its red-white-red colours depict the blood-stained shores of the river Dijle after this battle. The Great Beguinage is a well-preserved and completely restored historical quarter containing a dozen streets, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is one of the best remaining examples of a Netherlandish Bˇguinage. It was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998 ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
