Nonnenstraat, 2800 Mechelen · Oud Stadscentrum, MECHELEN, Belgium
Around 1560 the beguinage outside the city walls was destroyed. The beguines re-established themselves inside the city walls, where the Large Beguinage grew up.
They bought up existing buildings and built new dwellings, which explains why the Large Beguinage is rather different in character from beguinages in other cities.
