Louvain-la-Neuve
Louvain-la-Neuve
(, French for
New
Leuven
) is a
planned city
in the municipality of
Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve
,
Belgium
, situated 30 km southeast of
Brussels
, in the French-speaking part of the country. The city was built to house the
Université Catholique de Louvain
; following the linguistic quarrels that took place in Belgium during the 1960s, and
Flemish
claims of discrimination at the
Catholic University of Leuven
, the institution was split into the Dutch language
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
which remained in Leuven, and the Université Catholique de Louvain.
