The church of the Beguinage
This church is a late Romanesque, early Gothic church devoted to Saint Agnes. It has an amazing collection of 38 paintings on its walls and pillars. They date from the 13th till the 17th century, the most important
collection of Belgium. In the seventies they were restored. Furthermore there are interesting tombstones and a very old Baroque organ.
