One from the back catalogue for Happy Fence Friday. Visitors can buy a ticket to climb the tower of the University Library. A great view of the town from the top, while the route takes in this exquisite staircase.

On the staircase at Leuven University Library Tower.

Wandered through the quiet cobbled old streets of the old Beguinage in Leuven during my recent visit. Quiet because University term was just about to start - these old cottages are now home to students from the University, so quite possibly things are a little different during term time. Beguines were (mostly) unmarried women who lived a spiritual life in this closed community. Unlike nuns, they were free to marry if they chose.
