Great Beguinage of Sint-Elisabeth

The most devine place in Ghent to fond rest and space for contemplation

A total of 13 beguinages in Flanders are listed under UNESCO. Of the 13, this is the newest one and has been built in the 19th C Neo Gothic Style. The Begijnhof by itself is exceptionally large and the Cathedral is just huge & tall with 2 floors, filled with stunning stained glass.

I love it

Personal experience.

Great vlassical beguinage, cozy and quiet location. The main church is now used for functions and exhibitions. Also served as filming location for several flemish movies.
