Spoelberchmuseum

Om museet

The Spoelberch Museum displays the art collection that Burgrave Charles Victor de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul left to the Leuven university when he died in 1907. He had no children, and he gave the university money, the family estate in Lovenjoel and his collection. With that money the Spoelberchinstituut on the Krakenstraat was built in 1912.

During the Second World War the collection was kept in the University Library. In May 1940 that building largely burned down, and many items were damaged; most were later restored. After the university was split, most of the collection was put into storage. Halfway through the 1990s it returned to the Heilige Geestcollege, where a new museum was set up.

The museum is housed in the former refectory in the south wing of the college. The Heilige Geestcollege was founded in 1445 as the university's first college and has been a protected monument since 2009. The highlight of the collection is a 17th-century writing cabinet from the Antwerp workshop of Hendrik van Soest. There are also old family portraits, still lifes, religious scenes, Oriental and European porcelain, and 18th-century table silver on display.
