    An oasis of peace and quiet is hidden behind a long facade on the Lange Violettestraat. You will find the Klein Begijnhof, with a baroque church, several chapels, about a hundred small houses and a large meadow, which was once the cemetery. The beguinage is accessible to cyclists and is a nice place to relax.

    In January 2005 the last beguine that lived in this Small Beguinage died. There used to be about 300 beguines. The nearly one hundred houses were painted in oxblood and are still inhabited today, but the seven convents have been given a different purpose.
