    The beguinage was founded in 1253 by Arnold IV, Lord of Diest and abolished in 1796 by the French government.
    Most of the 90 houses and convents date from the 17th and 18th centuries.
    The beautiful Baroque beguinage gate dates from 1671.
    The beguinage church, built in iron sandstone, is dedicated to Saint Catherine.
    Every 1st Sunday of the month there is a book and antique market.

      The Diest beguinage is one of the very beautiful Belgian beguinages. Witness to a unique experience of female Christianity in the 13th century, it is still in very good condition. With luck, a beguine house will be opened and you can see the tiny interiors and the small back garden.
