Klein Begijnhof Gent

The Small Beguinage was founded in 1235. Today, it is one of the best preserved and most attractive beguinages from before the French Revolution. The last beguine who lived here passed away in 2005. Now the houses are leased and the larger buildings have become artists' workshops. The Small Beguinage Our Lady ter Hoyen is one of the two Ghent beguinages, listed as Unesco World Heritage.
