Tips
The 'Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde' with white-painted facades and tranquil monastery garden was founded in 1245. In this piece of world heritage, Beguines, emancipated women who, although they were laymen, still led a pious and celibate life, used to live in the past. The Bruges beguinage has been continuously inhabited for centuries. Today, several sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict and single women from Bruges live there.
