An imposing building, absolutely worth a visit, impressive for its sheer size, but also, and above all, for the enormous symbolism hidden within the facade and the building itself. The reading room is magnificent, as is the view over Leuven from the tower after climbing the nearly 300 steps. During the tour, I'll take you on a journey of discovery into the symbolism woven into the building and tell you the full story of 'Furore teutonico diruta, dono americano restituta'.
