And here we have the Van Dale College and its beautiful garden. Let's first explore the courtyard.
The Van Dale College is named after its founder Pieter Van Dale, who was originally from Antwerp.
This college was founded in the 16th century with the aim of providing accommodation and support
for underprivileged students.
These students were often from around Antwerp and some were even members of the founder's family,
which was unlikely to be a coincidence!
The college housed twelve students from the faculties of arts, theology and law
until the French Revolution.
Afterwards, the building served a variety of purposes, such as being a secondary school for girls.
In the seventies, the university reacquired the college.
It now accommodates a number of offices of the student services
so it's definitely an address for students to remember.
This is the original 16th century garden,
which has remained virtually unchanged for 400 years.
It's a shame we have to leave this garden, but there are many more beautiful sights to come!
