The Beguinage of Herentals in Herentals, Belgium, is a historical site that dates back to the 13th century. This beguinage, like others in the region, was a community where beguines, religious women who lived a life of piety and simplicity without taking formal vows, resided. The beguinage is characterized by its serene atmosphere, cobbled streets, and charming houses, which reflect the architectural style of the period. Over the centuries, it has been well-preserved, offering visitors a glimpse into the spiritual and communal life of its former inhabitants.
