Vaulted roof and window in the Collegiate Saint Peter's Church, Grote Markt (Market Square), Leuven, Belgium. (42)


Vaulted roof and window in the Collegiate Saint Peter's Church, Grote Markt (Market Square), Leuven, Belgium. The church suffered severe damage in both World Wars. In 1914 a fire caused the collapse of the roof and in 1944 a bomb destroyed part of the northern reconstructed roof is surmounted at the crossing by a flèche, which, unlike the 18th-century cupola that preceded it, blends stylistically with the rest of the church.
