Béguinage Sint-Alexis, Medieval religious compound in Dendermonde, Belgium.
The Sint-Alexis Beguinage features a central chapel surrounded by sixty-one houses arranged around a green square in Dendermonde.
Founded in 1288, the beguinage reached its maximum population of 250 beguines in 1691 and continued operating until the death of the last resident in 1975.
The complex includes a museum spanning three floors that presents regional folklore and historical documentation about daily life in the beguinage.
Visitors can explore the beguinage from April through October, Tuesday to Friday between 9:30 and 18:00, with a midday break from 12:00 to 13:00.
House number 11 maintains original furniture and decorations, presenting an exact representation of a beguine's living quarters from previous centuries.
