Begijnhof

  • Address: Rodestraat 39, Stadswaag, Antwerp

Fodor's Review:

The convent dates from the 13th century, but by the 1960s there was only one Beguine nun left. Redbrick buildings surrounding a courtyard garden (which is closed to the public) give a sense of tranquillity as you stroll the roughly cobbled walk. Furniture from the convent can be seen in house No. 38.
