Begijnhof
Step through the low door off the noise of Spui and the century changes. The last Beguine died in 1971; the silence is older than the country.
A hushed 14th-century courtyard of the Beguines, pious laywomen who never took vows. It holds the city's oldest wooden house and two hidden churches.
