Old St Elizabeth Beguinage
Historisch centrum/Gravensteen-site
[Oud Begijnhof 
]
Ghent has no fewer than three authentic beguinages, all of which are recognised by UNESCO as world heritage sites. This is one of them. Though it is no longer walled and thus became part of the city, it still has a unique atmosphere. Furthermore, it is now more than ever a place of religious tolerance since it contains no fewer than four different churches: Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Anglican.
