The Door of Leuwen (in Dutch: Leuvensepoort ) is old a carries of the second enclosure of Brussels, between the Porte of Namur and the Porte of Schaerbeek. It connected the Cathédrale Saint-Michel-and-Gudule to the extra-muros village of Saint-Jose-ten-Noode, via the street of Leuwen. This door was between the places Surlet de Chokier and current Madou.
The door was demolished in 1784.
