A house with a history

In spite of comprehensive refurbishing over the last seven years, the house has not lost anything of its historic appeal. We have chosen for authentic materials (mostly wood) wherever possible and we have 'undone a number of improvements' made between the '60s and '70s.


Final draft of the reconstruction, dated 1915. You may note one major change in the current aspect of the house, dating from the 1960s.

The facade now carries a plate, a memorial to the First World War and the subsequent recon-struction. Scattered all over Leuven there are about 50 houses with such a plate, most of them built in a similar style to ours.
