My Account Bruges must do : crossing the pretty three-arched bridge to the entrance of the Princely Beguinage near the Minnewater Lake and the Wijngaarde square
(Browse the collection : Bruges cityscape time lapse and video stock footage)
Close to the Minnewaterpark, on the fringe of the bustling historic centre of Bruges, with its medieval buildings and atmospheric cobbled streets, the Beguinage is a tranquil haven. Cross the three-arched Wijngaard Bridge, spanning one of Bruges’ many canals, and step through the gatehouse of 1776, designed by master mason Hendrik Bultynk, with a statue of St Elizabeth of Hungary in a niche above, and you enter another world.
The main entrance with a gate can be reached via the three-arched stone bridge, the Wijngaard Bridge. In a bay, the image of the holy Elizabeth of Hungary can be seen, who was the patron of many béguinages. De Wijngaard is also devoted to Saint Alexius. The entrance gate was built in 1776 by master mason Hendrik Bultynck.
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.
