University Hall, Leuven

University Hall (Dutch: Universiteitshal) in Leuven, Belgium, is a medieval cloth hall with 17th and 18th-century extensions that is now the main administrative building of KU Leuven. Heavily damaged during the Sack of Leuven in August 1914, the building was restored 1921–1926. It has been a listed building since 26 November 1942, and protected built heritage since 14 September 2009. The building fills most of a city block, with entrances on three of the surrounding streets at Krakenstraat 2, Naamsestraat 22, and Oude Markt 13.
