Saint Gertrude Abbey

In option

In the heart of the Klein Begijnhof, one of Leuven’s most authentic sites, lies this spacious duplex apartment within the former abbey complex of the Saint Gertrude’s Abbey. The abbey and its adjoining buildings, constructed between the 14th and 17th centuries, have been carefully restored and repurposed into a residential ensemble, respecting the historical context and architectural integrity. The monumental Saint Gertrude’s Church serves as an impressive visual landmark within the complex.

The apartment, spread over two levels, was renovated a few years ago. The layout includes four full-sized bedrooms, a separate office space, and an open living area with a view of the inner garden. Additionally, the apartment benefits from a private garden, a rare asset in an urban setting.

A private cellar provides extra storage and convenience. A parking space, directly connected to the building, is reserved exclusively for the residents of the apartment.

Its location in Leuven’s historic center offers an exceptional combination of peace, heritage, and proximity to amenities, public transport, and cultural institutions.
