Geschiedenis
Pope's College or Pope Adrian VI College in Leuven was a college for theology students at the Old University of Leuven, founded by Pope Adrian VI in 1523. At the suppression of the old university in 1797 the college became public property. It is now a hall of residence of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, rented from the city council (which still owns the buildings).HistoryThe college, founded for Theology students at the University of Leuven in 1523, was considerably extended as early as 1530 and rapidly became one of the richest constituent colleges of the University of Leuven. After a building collapse in 1775, the whole complex was rebuilt to a classicist design by M. Ghenne.On government orders the college was converted into a seminary in 1786. In 1792 it became the headquarters of the Republican Party, in 1797 a hospital and in 1811 a barracks. Since 1835 it has been in use as a hall of residence of the Catholic University of Leuven. The interiors were thoroughly modernized in 1967 by the architect P. Van Aerschot. In 1973 the buildings became a listed monument, now overseen by the Flemish organization for Immovable Heritage.Bibliography J.
