Let's Béguine
Murder in the Béguinage, an interactive discovery of the historical beguinage of Lier (Belgium).
Béguinage : (...) The female followers of the mystical movement [of the 13th century] were tolerated in the form of the 'Beguine' movement. They were allowed to live in separate parts of the cities, in the so-called Beguinages. In this way, the religious authorities could control and supervise them. The beguines lived like regular nuns, but did not make the same binding vows that nuns normally made. Beguines usually made the vows of obedience and chastity, but not the vow of poverty. Moreover, they could at all times break their vows and leave the beguine community.
(The Béguinage of Bruges is a wonderful place, just like the rest of the city.)
