As one of Leuven's architectural treasures, Martin's Klooster features impressive historic details such as a distinctive tower, a former carriage gate, stepped gables, mullioned windows, traditional shutters and exposed oak beams. Each room has its own unique style, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity and elegance.
