The old guest house is the perfect place to get acquainted with the daily life of the guest house sisters of yesteryear. Get to know 17 century figures. Sisters and the sick tell how they ended up in the Gasthuismuseum and what daily life was like.

Step into the authentic world of the old Geelse Gasthuis and the Gasthuiszusters Augustinessen. You go back to the 17th century on the beautifully preserved monastery site.
And there's more! The Gasthuis was founded in a legendary location. Immerse yourself in the story of Saint Dimpna, patroness of the mentally ill. Discover the local and international cult of Sint-Dimpna and the origin of the typical Geelse family nursing.

The Geelse Gasthuis was founded in 1286, with three brothers and five sisters who cared for the sick. The Gasthuiszusters Augustinissen, who arrived in 1552, expanded the building complex considerably. Anyone who visits the Gasthuismuseum today goes back to the seventeenth century and enters the authentic world of the old guesthouse and the Gasthuiszusters Augustinissen.
