Beautiful place to visit just before or during the spring, when it's full of flowers. interesting to check the architecture and the history of the local, there's also a museum to visit. The swans in front are an extra show! Make sure you don't eet in the café's around it because they normally charge huge touristic prices. Open every day from 6:30 till 18:30

The 'Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde' with its white-coloured house fronts and tranquil convent garden was founded in 1245.

Today the beguinage is inhabited by nuns of the Order of St. Benedict and several Bruges women who have decided to remain unmarried. In the Beguine's house, you can still get a good idea of what day-to-day life was like in the 17th century.
