Saint Peter's church, Leuven (Louvain), Belgium - what it should look like (POVRay animation)

Saint Peter's church, gothic, Louvain, Belgium
Raytracing experiment - Preliminary test version (that means: working on a better one) - animation created in Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray)
The towers of this Brabantine gothic church (Brabantse gotiek) were designed around 1505 (on parchment, 4 metres high, on display in the municipal museum), by Joost Matsys, brother of the famous painter Quentin Matsys (Dutch: Quinten or Kwinten, Massijs or Metsijs or Massys or Metsys). between 1524 and 1530 he made a detailed stone model (8 metres high - on display in the church itself), which was the main input for the development of this computer model.
The towers were never fully executed, even though they were higher in the past. Construction stopped mid-16th century. Between 1570 and 1604, the southern tower collapsed gradually. After several restoration campaigns throughout the 17th, 19th and 20th century, the tower obtained its current form (as it can be seen at the beginning of the video).
Music: 'kyrie' by Andrea Gabrieli, on the magnificent recording 'A Venetian Coronation 1595', performed by the Gabrieli Consort and Players, under the direction of Paul McCreesh. A must-buy!
(ok, that's not 16th century Flemish music, but this piece matched excellently with the animation :o))

Louvain la Neuve, Belgium
Louvain-la-Neuve (pop. 30,000), 30km south of Brussels, is an almost exclusively student town. The town was only founded in 1972, after the split of the University of Leuven (Louvain in French) between the Dutch and French speakers in 1968, thus creating the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL).
Louvain-la-Neuve is not only th newest town in Belgium, but also a quite particular one, as half of its population are currently attending its university, while the other half is made mostly of former students, making it also the youngest town in the country.
The novelty of the town means that there is of course no historical buildings, but Louvain-la-Neuve make it up by its architectural harmony, pure air (the town is mostly pedestrian) and its spaciousness. It was designed around a lake and the modern layout of its streets certainly contrast with that of other Belgian cities.
In other words, Louvain-la-Neuve is more like a very big village where people greet each others at almost every corner, and parties presides over the life of its inhabitants.
The only touristic site is Museum of Louvain-la-Neuve, although the whole city is an attraction in itself.
