Begijnhof, Religious community in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Begijnhof features connected residential buildings and common spaces where women live in a semi-religious community while maintaining their independence and spiritual practices.
During the Middle Ages, the Begijnhof provided a residence for women who wanted to dedicate their lives to religious service without taking formal convent vows.
The residential complex maintains traditions of communal living and religious practices, with residents participating in shared activities and spiritual gatherings throughout the year.
The Begijnhof welcomes visitors during specific hours, offering guided tours that explain the historical development and current functions of this religious community.
Each resident maintains personal living quarters while sharing communal spaces, creating a balanced environment between private life and community engagement within religious context.
