Once serving as a place of refuge, this beguinage holds centuries of stories within its walls. The image captures the essence of tranquility and serenity that emanates from this sacred space. A picturesque canal bridge gracefully arches over calm waters, leading visitors to the entrance of the abbey. The facade stands tall and proud, displaying remarkable architectural details that speak volumes about its rich history. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but feel a sense of awe at the intricate craftsmanship and dedication put into creating such an extraordinary place. It is evident that every stone has been carefully laid with purpose and reverence.

The beguines who once inhabited this sanctuary dedicated their lives to prayer and contemplation. Paul Maeyaert's masterful capture allows us to experience a glimpse into another era – one where simplicity reigned supreme and devotion was paramount. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical preservation.
