Huyze Marc Verstraete

Huyze Marc Verstraete

Huyze Verstraete is situated in the historical center of Leuven at the iconic location just across the first anatomical theatre (1744) and just 50 meters away from the renowned Botanical Garden.

The residence is named after its former owner, professor and hematologist prof. dr. Marc baron Verstraete (1925 – 2018), whose home had always been a gathering place for academics in life sciences. The Desire Collen Foundation bought and renovated the house, with the specific intention to continue the welcoming tradition of his former mentor.

Hence Huyze Verstraete brings together scientists and academics from around the world. You can take up residence for shorter or longer periods while focusing on research or initiate new collaborations. Two fully equipped meeting rooms are available for seminars or small events.
