A
Universiteitsbibliotheek
The imposing Universiteitsbibliotheek was rebuilt in Flemish Renaissance style after a fire raged through it during WWI. Rebuilt from the charity of 400 American universities, it again burnt down in WWII and was rebuilt yet again. The tower rising in the rear breaks the façade's symmetry and houses a carillon.
