Detailed itinerary
1
There are not enough superlatives to describe the splendor and appearance of the 14th-century beguinage. Perhaps the recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 is enough to guide you through the gate. Behind it you will discover the beautiful square Begijnhof.

Anyone who thinks that St. Peter's Church is a church like another will be deceived. The exterior is remarkably austere, the interior is breathtaking.
