Louvain-la-Neuve is a planned town in the municipality of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Wallonia, Belgium, situated 30 km southeast of Brussels, in the province of Walloon Brabant. The town was built to house the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) which owns the entire territory of the town; 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.

Louvain-la-Neuve is a planned university town located in the French-speaking part of Belgium. It was established in the 1960s to provide a new home for the University of Louvain, which had to relocate due to language conflicts. Today, the town is a vibrant hub of learning and innovation, with a youthful energy that is infectious.

One of the most striking things about Louvain-la-Neuve is its unique architecture. The town was designed from scratch by the famous Belgian architect, André Jacqmain, and his team. They created a pedestrian-friendly environment with a central square, which is surrounded by modernist buildings. The town is also home to some impressive public art installations, such as the famous sculpture of the Golden Cow.
