My Account Stock video of the Wijngaard begijnhof, beguinage of Bruges : focus on the “Grootjuffrouw ” (the leading nun) white painted house
(Browse the collection : Bruges cityscape time lapse and video stock footage)
The ‘Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde’ with its white-coloured house fronts and tranquil convent garden was founded in 1245. This little piece of world heritage was once the home of the beguines, emancipated lay-women who nevertheless led a pious and celibate life.
The Beguines were a group of nuns and spinsters who lived in a system similar to a convent but with more freedom. Now home to Benedictine nuns, the Beguinage is one of the most silent and peaceful historical places of Bruges.
A place of liberation and beauty, a visit to the Beguinage provides unique insight into 17th century living and an understanding of equality and the pursuit of a resolute life.
