Calling all bookworms! Letterenhuis saves 6 studyspots for students during this edition of STUDY360. Last June Letterenhuis welcomed visitors to their brand new public space. During STUDY360 students can enjoy a studyspot in this recently transformed area with a view of the light-filled courtyard.
Letterenhuis is a literary archive that collects the history of Flemish literature since 1933. Meanwhile, their archive already contains 2 million letters and manuscripts, 130,000 photographs and 50,000 posters. Talking of knowledge… You will be able to study above this archive. We believe that all this knowledge will rise from these books into your heads. The perfect study-method!

Wheelchair accessibility
Unfortunately, the building is not very wheelchair accessible. Are you less mobile and would you still like to come and study at this location? Then please let us know in advance. Give us a call and we will see what is possible. In the midst of this paper archive with prescious heritage pieces we must be very careful for pests and other infestations. For this reason you are only allowed to bring water into the study space. Coffee, other drinks and food are allowed in the book corner in the entrance hall.

Time for a break
Letterenhuis is situated between the centre of the city and the student area, places to take a break galore! In need of some coffee? Cross the street to Minderbroedersrui and you find Normo. Take a stroll down Lange Koepoortstraat where you find ToiToiToi and Mr. Pickles for coffee and Tartoer for a real croque monsieur. Continue your walk to Melkmarkt where you find Pizarro for a nice slice of pizza. Keep on going and you find Simply Marie at the Conscienceplein where you can enjoy your daily vitamins by eating a soup or quiche. And the real bookworms? They will be pleased by all the bookstores that the nearby Wolstraat offers you. Head in the books, but don’t forget to focus on studying!
