More About Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde

The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde is a serene, historic site established in the 13th century. Originally home to the Beguines, a religious community of women, it now houses Benedictine nuns and offers a peaceful retreat from the city's bustle. Visitors can wander its quiet pathways and enjoy the simplicity of its whitewashed buildings and gardens. The beguinage is especially beautiful in spring when daffodils carpet the grounds, offering a glimpse into a contemplative way of life distinct from the urban environment.
