Kortrijk - Begijnhof

 
Immediately adjoining Sint-Maartenshoofdkerk is the picturesque béguinage founded by Joanna of Constantinople in 1242. With its 42 whitewashed cottages closely grouped around the landscaped courtyard, an oasis of tranquillity, it is possibly the most attractive béguinage in Belgium. A stroll through the narrow lanes leads to the chapel of 1465, the bleachery and the Chapel of the Virgin of the Snow.
