Museum of the Beguinage of Anderlecht
Muse du Bguinage d'Anderlecht

The Beguinage of Anderlecht, founded in 1252, is one of the smaller such institutions, with only four modest 16th century houses surrounding a central garden. The Museum, which opened in 1938, documents and evokes the life of the beguines in centuries past.

French revolutionaries destroyed most religious buildings in Brussels during the 1795 uprising, but the Beguinage of Anderlecht was spared because there was a heavy concentration of elderly and disabled people living there at the time.
