Description
The béguinage, north of the castle was gifted in 1372 by Maria, Duchess of Brabant. Most of the houses of the present attractive complex were built after a fire in the 17th C.; the pretty Baroque Heilige-Kruiskerk (Church of the Holy Cross) dates from 1665. Begijnhof No. 56 is a museum illustrating life in the béguinage.
