The 'Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde' with white-painted facades and tranquil monastery garden was founded in 1245. Beguines used to live in this piece of world heritage, emancipated women who, although laymen, nevertheless led a pious and celibate life. Today the Beguinage is inhabited by sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict and single women from Bruges.
