With some steps of the museum, do not miss the "béguinage". The "béguinage" of Turnhout, founded about 1300, remained an oasis of quietude in the centre town. In 1998, it was recognized by UNESCO like world and cultural inheritance. The Flemish béguinages are a unique testimony of a medieval mystical movement wiich produced them.  Beguines were "religious women" widows or spinsters who wished to live an independent but committed life outside the recognised orders with their vows of fidelity and powerty. They organised themselves in self-supported 'cities of peace', with architectural an urban qualities.

The beauty and the richness of the béguinage are reflected in the houses and a museum where ecclesiastical laces have a great part.
On left, the dazzling spectacle of the trees to the colors chatoyantes of the autumn. With right-hand side, one of the reconstituted decorations of the museum of the béguinage.
