History

Engage with 500 years of history at Martin's Klooster

Built in the 16th century to house Charles V's secretary, the building that is now home to Martin's Klooster has a rich history. In its previous lives it was both a convent and a hospital for knights before in 2003 finally becoming a resting place for visitors to Louvain.

Martin's Klooster was awarded the Green Key label for its commitment to a responsible approach to environmental protection. The criteria of the label require respect for nature and people, in particular by controlling water and energy consumption, by environmental waste management, by leisure activities that do not harm nature and by promoting the actors and natural assets of the region.
