Béguinage Turnhout, Medieval religious community in Turnhout, Belgium.
The Turnhout Béguinage features a collection of preserved buildings arranged around a central courtyard with a church from the 17th century.
The religious site reached its maximum population in 1675 with 370 beguines who lived in this community without taking formal religious vows.
The Béguinage Museum exhibits the daily life patterns of religious women who maintained their independence while dedicating themselves to charitable works.
Visitors can purchase a combination ticket for 7.50 euros to access three local museums, including the Béguinage Museum, Playing Card Museum, and Taxandria Museum.
The Early Classicist gatehouse from 1700 displays a statue of Saint Bega, the patroness of beguines, marking the entrance to this UNESCO Heritage site.
