Wijgmaal (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋɛixmaːl]) is a village of the city of Leuven located in the province of Flemish Brabant, Flemish Region, Belgium.[1] Before the fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977, it was a part of the municipality of Herent. On 1 January 1977, it was merged into Leuven. Wijgmaal has never been a municipality, but in some sources, Wijgmaal is mentioned as a "deelgemeente" (sub-municipality).[2]
