El Beguinario de Brujas (Begijnhof Brugge) es uno de los lugares más encantadores y tranquilos de la ciudad de Brujas, Bélgica. Este sitio histórico, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, es un remanso de paz que te transporta a otra época.

Conoce su historia antes de ir El Beguinario fue fundado en el siglo XIII como un hogar para las beguinas, mujeres religiosas que vivían en comunidad sin tomar votos monásticos. Aunque ya no hay beguinas, el lugar sigue siendo un sitio espiritual y está habitado por monjas benedictinas.

  1. Visita temprano o al final del día El Beguinario es un lugar popular entre los turistas, por lo que puede estar concurrido durante las horas pico (mediodía). Para disfrutar de su tranquilidad, visita temprano por la mañana o al atardecer, cuando hay menos gente.

Respeta el silencio El Beguinario es un lugar de recogimiento y paz. Habla en voz baja y evita hacer ruido para no molestar a los residentes o a otros visitantes. Es un sitio ideal para desconectar y disfrutar de la serenidad.

Explora los jardines Los jardines del Beguinario son sencillos pero hermosos, especialmente en primavera y verano, cuando las flores están en pleno apogeo.

Visita la capilla La capilla del Beguinario (Begijnhofkerk) es un lugar pequeño pero lleno de encanto. Entra para admirar su interior sencillo y espiritual. Si tienes suerte, podrás escuchar el sonido del órgano o asistir a una misa.

-- 6. Cuidado con las restricciones Algunas áreas del Beguinario son privadas y están reservadas para las residentes. Respeta los carteles y no entres en zonas prohibidas. Las fotos están permitidas, pero evita invadir la privacidad de las personas que viven allí.

Combina tu visita con otros lugares cercanos El Beguinario está cerca de otros atractivos de Brujas, como el Lago del Amor (Minnewater) y el Parque Minnewater, que son perfectos para un paseo relajante. También puedes visitar el Museo de la Cerveza o el Museo Groeninge, que están a poca distancia. Puedes ir caminando

Lleva calzado cómodo El Beguinario tiene caminos de piedra y senderos irregulares, por lo que es recomendable llevar zapatos cómodos para caminar. Zapatillas.

Aprovecha para hacer fotos El Beguinario es uno de los lugares más fotogénicos de Brujas, con sus casas blancas, árboles frondosos y ambiente pintoresco. No olvides tu cámara o teléfono.

Disfruta del ambiente Tómate tu tiempo para sentarte en un banco, observar los detalles arquitectónicos y simplemente disfrutar de la calma. Es un lugar perfecto para relajarse.

Abierto todos los días de 6:30 a.m. a 6:30 p.m. (horario aproximado, puede variar según la temporada). -La entrada al Beguinario es gratuita, pero la capilla puede tener un pequeño costo. -Está a unos 15-20 minutos a pie desde la Plaza Mayor (Grote Markt). También puedes llegar en autobús o bicicleta. Está cercado por muros y cierran la puerta.

Begijnhof in Bruges is a peaceful courtyard tucked behind a simple gate, offering a quiet serene walk through their gardens. It was originally founded in the 13th century as a community for Beguines lay religious women who lived together in devotion without taking formal vows like nuns. These women led independent lives, often working as nurses or teachers, and the Begijnhof gave them a safe and structured place to live.

Today, the whitewashed houses and tranquil garden still reflect that sense of simplicity and reflection. A small chapel sits at the heart of the grounds, and swans drift quietly along the nearby canal. It is not just a historical site, it still houses...

We recently spent five days in Bruges during the holiday season. One of the only attractions in the city that was open on Christmas day was the UNESCO World Heritage - Begijnhof. Opening hours are 6.30am to 6.30pm daily.

Here you find an open tranquil area which makes for a nice place for quiet walks away from the crowded streets of Bruges. Within the Begijnhof grounds, there is a small museum dedicated to the convent garden and a 13th-century church that can be visited.

Note: During April when the daffodils are in bloom the Begijnhof grounds are just beautiful to see and well worth making time for even during the shortest of...

This place is a true oasis of peace and quiet. It's incredible how you can be in a busy tourist area one minute, and then step through the gates into this serene and tranquil world. The noise and crowds just melt away. It's a beautiful, historic spot with its lovely white houses and tall trees. The perfect place to slow down, walk peacefully, and enjoy a moment of calm. A must-visit to experience a different side of Bruges.

Un muro di protezione e un portale settecentesco (rigorosamente sbarrato dopo le 18:30) preservano la tranquillità e la pace del Begijnhof “De Wijngaard”, un gruppo di case bianche raggruppate intorno ad un giardino alberato, un tempo abitate dalle beghine di Bruges, oggi sostituite dalle monache del’Ordine di San Benedetto. Il Beghinaggio “della vigna” di Bruges è uno dei pochi e meglio conservati complessi sorti intorno al XIII secolo proprio nelle Fiandre, come comunità semi-monastica di donne sole e vedove, spesso ricche, dedicate a Dio. Come tutti i beghinaggi è stato dichiarato Patrimonio dell’Umanità dall’UNESCO. Fu Margherita di Costantinopoli, contessa di Fiandra, a fondare nel 1245 il Begijnhof a Bruges al fine di riunire le beghine della città. Animata da un fervente spirito mistico, la piccola comunità di suore laiche conduceva una vita di preghiera e lavoro, ascesi e attività caritative. Una delle abitazioni è stata trasformata in un museo per dare al visitatore un’idea dello stile di vita delle beghine. Nel 1584, un incendio distrusse la chiesetta duecentesca. Ricostruita nel 1609, è stata successivamente ristrutturata in stile tardo barocco. Oggi come un tempo, il Begijnhof resta un’oasi di pace nel cuore della città.
