(Browse the collection : Bruges cityscape time lapse and video stock footage)
Bruges’ begijnhof, a self-contained cluster of houses built around a central garden and church, provides a tranquil haven amid the surrounding city. The begijnhof opens at the crack of dawn, creating a meditative sense of piety that was prominent in Bruges’ medieval culture.

The princely beguinage De Wijngaard still bears witness to the religious life. The large lawn is covered with hundreds of daffodils in spring. Sunlight is filtered through dozens of stately trees. The sober inner gardens of almshouses de Meulenaere, Sint-Jozef and De Vos used to be the place where poor elderly women could dry their laundry and plant some flowers. The Minnewater is the ‘mythical’ place where water enters the city and feeds the world-famous canals 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.
