More Bruge Beguinage

To give some idea of the buildings inside the larger Courtyard of the Beguinage, these are some fine late 17th Century buildings.

The courtyard range in the Beguinage.

All the buildings have been beautifully restored, and, barring the Convent section, the rest seem to have been leased to families and other couples. A small museum occupies the site of the old convent, and the rooms are preserved as they were when the nuns used them.

Definitely worth more than a cursory visit.
