GREAT ST. ELIZABETH BÉGUINAGE
Go there and contact
Large beguinage with a unique soothing tranquility for many inhabitants of Ghent.
The Groot Begijnhof Sint-Elisabeth in Flemish is the most recent of the city's three beguinages, and also the largest. Eighty houses, fourteen convents, a motherhouse, an infirmary, a chapel and a church - a city within a city - have been built here. No beguine has lived here for a long time. The soothing tranquility of the place is unique. A precious secret corner that many of Ghent's inhabitants know about and would actually prefer to keep to themselves. We can understand why.

J'y n'irai pourtant pas si vous voyagez avec des enfants, ils risquent de s'ennuyer. Si vous ne connaissez pas l'histoire des beginages, cherchez des infos avant d'y aller car il n'y pas de documentation sur place.
J'y suis allée un lundi matin, quand les musées sont fermés, et la chapelle était fermée aussi: je ne sais pas si et quand on peut la visiter, ni si elle mériterait d'être visitée... Mais le petit quartier , j'ai bien aimé l'avoir vu.
