Small Beguinage

What can one experience here?

This district in Leuven was home to the Beguines until the 19th century.
The number of Beguines never reached more than 100 and quickly diminished after the French Revolution.
The church was demolished in the 19th century and, in 1954, the infirmary had to make way for the expansion of the Stella Artois brewery.
After some thorough restoration the houses were repainted in white and sold off to private owners.
About thirty houses still remain from the original beguinage in the traditional Flemish style.
