Beguinage

You cross the Zimmerplein in Lier and arrive at the Beguinage, perhaps the most beautiful beguinage in Flanders, where Felix Timmermans once had an office. It is quiet around the neatly restored houses from the 17th century. The houses bear melodious names of saints, which are painted in ornate letters on the green doors. Also pay attention to the panels on the facades, which depict the Stations of the Cross of Christ. It is a miniature town, a maze with small cobbled alleys and streets, closed off from the rest of the city.
