Sint-Agnesbegijnhof, Gothic beguinage in Sint-Truiden, Belgium.
The Sint-Agnesbegijnhof features multiple buildings arranged around a central church, with distinct architectural elements combining tufa stone and brick construction.
The beguinage was established in the mid-13th century when Abbot Willem van Rijkel donated land to religious women seeking an independent spiritual life.
The beguinage church contains 38 medieval wall paintings from the 14th and 16th centuries, representing religious and social life of the period.
The church building now functions as an exhibition and concert venue, following extensive restoration work completed between 1975 and 1981.
The organ gallery houses what experts consider to be the oldest playable organ in Belgium, adding musical significance to this religious complex.
