BEGUINAGE (BEGIJNHOF)
The Saint Elisabeth Beguinage in Kortrijk, a real city, a Unesco World Heritage Site, an oasis of calm
Founded in 1238, Kortrijk's Saint Elisabeth beguinage is a veritable city within the city, an oasis of calm listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Near the Saint-Matthieu chapel (1464), visitors will find some forty 17th-century Baroque maisonettes, the Saint-Anne hall (now housing a new interactive museum) with its octagonal towers, and the Grootjuffrouw house. The beguinage chapel houses an organ dating from 1678, one of the oldest instruments of its kind in the Netherlands at the time.
