Beginenhof von Anderlecht

The Beguinage of Anderlecht, also known as the Klaphuis, is a historic beguinage in Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium. Founded in the 13th century and of modest size, it housed only eight beguines from the end of the 15th century. It was suppressed during the French Revolution and abolished in 1798. Since 1930, the site has served as a museum dedicated to religious community life and local history. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1938.
