The beguinage was founded in the 13th century. In the 17th century the court flourished again and the church was built. The Mermans foundation from 1693 was aimed at poor beguines from Mol, Balen and Dessel. Since 1814, the beguinage has been managed by the Committee for Civil Almshouses (the current OCMW). The Lourdes Grotto was built here in 1876.
