The Beguinage of Turnhout is a peaceful historic enclave dating back to the thirteenth century. It is made up of small white houses that surround a quiet central courtyard and reflect the simple lifestyle of the beguines who once lived there. Visitors can explore the charming cobblestone paths the intimate church and the museum that preserves objects from daily beguine life. The atmosphere is calm and timeless and it offers a beautiful glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of Flanders.
