Now one street remains with restored houses from the 17th-18th centuries.
The Small Beguinage in the past
The Small Beguinage was first mentioned in 1272. The district consisted of a street and two dead-end alleys where women who served in the nearby Sint-Geertrui Abbey lived.
The Small Beguinage today
In 2000, the Klein Beguinage was thoroughly restored and sold to private individuals. Today, about thirty houses in traditional Flemish style remain of the beguinage.
