The Begijnhof is a tranquil courtyard of small almshouses around a garden and chapel, founded in the Middle Ages for the Beguines, a community of religious women. The best-preserved beguinage in the Netherlands still occupied in its traditional way, it offers a peaceful step back in time just off the busy centre. Visitors can wander the courtyard, admire the herb garden and enjoy the calm within the historic heart of Breda.
