Beguinage of Hasselt, Medieval religious complex in Hasselt, Belgium
The Beguinage features two rows of 18th-century houses built in Mosan style with traditional brick and stone walls forming a rectangular courtyard.
Founded in the 13th century outside Hasselt, the Beguinage was relocated within city walls in 1571 due to religious conflicts and housed religious women until 1866.
The complex represents the medieval movement of Beguines, religious women who lived in semi-monastic communities while maintaining their independence and professional activities.
Located at Zuivelmarkt in central Hasselt, the Beguinage now houses Z33, a center for contemporary art, design, and architecture exhibitions.
The site retains its original garden and gatehouse, while the church, destroyed by bombing in 1944, exists only as foundation stones and ruins.
