BeguinageThe 'Ten Wijngaarde' Beguinage was founded in 1245 by Margaret of Constantinople. The beguines died out in 1928, but a conventual order of Benedictine nuns took up residence in the Beguinage in 1930. Out of respect for their predecessors, they still observe the traditional 15th century costume of the beguines. |
