    't Wasvrouwtje, refers to a quarrel between Beguines and washerwomen. The Beguines did not want to allow the washerwomen onto 'their' domain to bleach their laundry in the bleaching meadow, because they would cause a nuisance.

      Bilzen is the only city in Limburg where the Demer flows in an open bed through the center.
      The bleaching meadow was once located where the washerwoman sits. The Beguines did their laundry in the Demer and then laid the clothes on the grass to let them 'bleach'. An elegant "laundress" still rinses the laundry here today.
